Bardcore "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis (Patreon)

Happy Valentine's Day lovely folks! I appreciated all your well wishes on my last post. I'm dealing with some long covid symptoms, but my voice is mostly back and I have lots of ideas. The release of my video game collab was pushed to next month, so stay tuned for that! I've also been recording some more trailers for Inkulinati, the Medieval turn based strategy game where I voice Hildegard herself.

Today's video is a Patreon exclusive! I've always loved this song made famous by Elvis, but was blown away when I learned the origins of this tune. Plaisir d'amour is a French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, and forms the foundation for large parts of this song's melody. If you want to listen to my favourite version, check out Nana Mouskouri's performance here.

It seemed only fitting to include parts of that original melody in this version. What was old was made new, then made even older again!

Thank you all for your patronage! I couldn't be doing what I do without each one of you.
