so i've been studying welsh since i saw your w post a week and a half ago, and i'm about 20% through my course and i've been looking up welsh language music on spotify and i've found some cool stuff, but i can't find lyrics for any of the songs online. can you rec some welsh language musicians whose lyrics i can read along with somewhere? thanks!

heya, if you’re a fan of modern stuff i normally recommend sŵnami and yws gwynedd and gwilym and the like, but the lyrics online for scene stuff can be kinda patchy! i’d recommend maybe having a look for more traditional songs – sosban fach, bachgen bach o dincer, yma o hyd, or maybe christmas carols. less useful for learning modern welsh slang, but infinitely easier to find lyrics for

i’d also recommend checking out youtube – this channel seems to have a lot of lyric videos (i’m especially fond of fflur dafydd’s stuff), and even if you can’t find lyrics, you might be able to find live and/or acoustic versions of the songs. sometimes i find that it’s easier to hear/understand lyrics with different background noise.

if there’s any other welsh speakers who fancy chucking in their dwy geiniog, please do reblog and add suggestions!

pob lwc a dal ati!

RE: /post/189709265694/ I used your eye motif in a pattern. How should I credit you?

Always good to see that motif getting some use! Crediting me as WolffyLuna would be fine.

if you had to be sent up into space or into the depths of the ocean, where would you choose?

that’s really hard. i’d like to explore space on the back of a deep sea creature. 

if you could remake one movie the way you think it should’ve been made, which movie would you choose?

the first movie that comes to mind is the movie adaptation of the first couple of books of one of my favourite childhood series, cirque du freak. they literally cast a girl who was black in the book as a white girl with a monkey tail. 

what is a custom/activity/experience/etc from another culture that you wish would be in your culture?

gee i don’t know. probably something to do with textiles. 

what is a question you have always wanted to ask but haven’t? why haven’t you asked it?

ssss. there’s definitely a question, but it’s a bit much for me to put out in public. 

think of a paper you have written sometime in your education. what was the topic?

it was about a japanese noh play. 

what is one song that makes you believe that things will get better?

bang your drum by dead man fall

what is an impulsive decision you have made that you don’t regret?

shaving my head

what is an aspect or event in history that you were obsessed with as a child?

salem witch trials

what is an obscure language you want to speak?

maybe a creole language. 

what is your favorite fun fact that people don’t really know?

rollie pollies aren’t insects 

what is one job that isn’t really around anymore that you would want to do?

perhaps wailing/mourning

is there something you have a really strong opinion about for basically no reason? what is it?

HILARY SWANK AND TOM CRUISE ARE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. I DESPISE THEM.

what is a lyric that you hate? why do you hate it?

He knows his love is not enough He knows he isn't what you need He knows you're made of finer stuff I think on that, we're all agreed

because it’s stupid and glenn slater is stupid.
