Creating beautiful celtic/historical infused music, she is inspired by many popular movies and tv shows such as Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit etc.
In her words: "I started writing and singing music as a hobby in 2010 and decided, rather bravely, to upload my stuff to YouTube for a bit of a laugh. Little did I know I'd gain such a gorgeous fan base of kindred nerds who understood and welcomed my world of music and encouraged me to make more. So that's what I've been doing. I've been happily building my little library of songs for over a decade now, still learning and loving this craft and still beaming delightedly with every new, cherished subscriber on YouTube. It's been an absolute joy and a privilege to do this full-time, and I hope to do it for many more years. Thank you so much for your kindness and support."

To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Your vows, you′ve broken like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God, I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Greensleeves
Greensleeves

Зеленые рукава (Старинный романс), перевод С.Маршака
Твоим зеленым рукавам
Я жизнь без ропота отдам.
Я ваш, пока душа жива,
Зеленые рукава!
За что, за что, моя любовь,
За что меня сгубила ты?
Неужто не припомнишь вновь
Того, кого забыла ты?
Твоим зеленым рукавам...
Я для тебя дышал и жил,
Тебе по капле отдал кровь,
Свою я душу заложил,
Чтоб заслужить твою любовь.
Твоим зеленым рукавам...
Я наряжал тебя в атлас
От головы до ног твоих,
Купил сверкающий алмаз
Для каждой из серег твоих.
Твоим зеленым рукавам...
Купил я красные чулки,
Расшитые узорами,
Купил тебе я башмачки
Нарядные, с подборами.
Купил гранатовую брошь,
Браслета два для рук твоих.
Таких браслетов не найдешь
Ты на руках подруг твоих.
Из серебра купил ножи,
Позолотил их заново.
У самой знатной госпожи
Такого нет приданого.
Тебе прислал я слуг своих
В твоем дому прислуживать.
В зеленый шелк одел я их,
И в галуны, и в кружево,
Чтоб на руках тебя несли
Они порой ненастною,
Чтоб не коснулась ты земли
Подошвою атласною.
Весь день твой услаждают слух
И музыка и пение.
Но ты меня, мой милый друг,
Отвергла тем не менее.
Одну надежду я таю,
Что, как ты жестока ни будь,
Любовь несчастную мою
Вознаградишь когда-нибудь!
Пусть ты глуха к моим мольбам,
Мучительница милая,
Твоим зеленым рукавам
Послушен до могилы я.
Твоим зеленым рукавам
Я жизнь безропотно отдам.
Зеленые, словно весною трава,
Зеленые рукава!

I love that almost 500 years have passed and the rumor persists that Henry wrote this for Anne. Great story even if it isn't true. 💚💚
@malcolmstead272
Fact is that it is certainly a Tudor tune.
@Patrick-rc7bm
Why isn't it true! The rumour is that its not. Henry was actually a fine musician and almost certainly dud write the music tho the lyrics were added later.
@HotPinkPussyCat
It was his favorite piece of music! One of Mine too 🎶 🎵
