When thou from hence away art past


Whaddya know, I managed to find a YouTube version of the Mediæval Bæbes singing "The Lyke-Wake Dirge" that doesn't have screenshots of Rome: Total War plastered all over it. (Don't ask - that confuses me just as much as it does you.) So here it is, the unseelie alternative to "Auld Lang Syne". Happy New Year!

Update Feb 2017: that version got deleted, so here is the video with the Rome game footage (really, why?!) while above you've got Pentangle's rendition from the 1970s. And read more about the dirge in this piece by Dr Rebekah King.
