folk music makes me go feral. you’re telling me that I’m singing along to songs that have been circulating among commonfolk and kings alike for hundreds of years, set to tunes that are hundreds of years older than that? you’re telling me these ballads have outlived empires and revolutions? you’re telling me this reel could have been played to entertain my ancestors while they spun wool by the fire? absolutely bonkers stuff.

One of the best parts about folk music is that there are always versions of the song you haven’t heard. Lyrics change as people pass the song around, someone realizes that it sounds just as good sung to another song’s tune, different cultures change the setting to reflect where they’re from. Music for the people, by the people.

This is also the worst part about folk music, because everyone else in the world will have learned your favorite song a different way, and that way will always be objectively wrong.
