Someone introduced me to this on Hextube last night. Before I read the video description I had assumed "Ix̱six̱án, Ax̱ Ḵwáan" was the name of the song, however turns out that IAK is the name of the music group and the song is named "Spirit". Apparently "Ix̱six̱án, Ax̱ Ḵwáan" means "I Love You, My People". This channel has two other songs by the same group, one actually called "Ix̱six̱án, Ax̱ Ḵwáan", and one called "Zibit" — these have lyrics more in English but still have a lot of mixing with Tlingit.

I haven't heard much of the Tlingit language before now — what a language, though!! It reminds me in a number of ways of my favorite language, Circassian. Tlingit language is a very good bit of cultural heritage for the Tlingit people to take care of — and when songs like "Spirit" get made, I think this indicates that the language has a very bright future.

a classic iykyk

I love Shoreline

Is the frontman of Týr a whaler? They're faroese, this has to be about whaling right? regardless this review set off my

@corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net I don't think prog/folk metal is your jam but you might be interested

It's a shame, the album's really good

I might have to make :hitler-metal-detector:, where the partical detector's got Varg's face in the background or something

Great folk song about United health group

Dog of height in the trees Won't you come down doggy

Such a sweet doggy I brought you your dinner My doggy I miss you kissing from my I remember when I first got you doggy But you lay there so still doggy You lay there So still

Dog who fell to the ground Twisted your neck doggy Don't look right doggy The bet came with sutures He said Dave Hay the doctor cannot save you dog

But I remember when I first got you dog You lay there so still dog You lay there so still Dog of depth in the dirt They buried you deep doggy You're the best doggy My friend has a doggy She's real nice dog I wish you could chase her round my yard I remember when I first got you dog But you lay there so still doggy You lay there so still

This song has made me cry more times than i can remember
