Please get well. I enjoy most of your posts. BTW: Hope you have cute nurses, even if you're in too much pain to appreciate them.

What does surprise me is the age of the doctors. Most of them look barely old enough to be out of high school.[*]

A lot of that going around.

Keiichi Okabe - Song of the Ancients / Fate (lyrics & performance by Emi Evans)[^]
A day late for this one, been busy!
Apologies to all the people who went to work today because they missed the SOTW 
So anyway, last week I got my PlayStation 5 and the first game I've been playing is NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... (yes, that's the title).
It's a PS4 game (remake of a Japanese PS3 game), but the ridiculous loading times made me wait to play it on PS5.
Like its predecessor (or original successor), NieR: Automata, the soundtrack by Keiichi Okabe is amazing again.
I'm especially a fan of Song of the Ancients, which could also be heard in NieR: Automata.
There's about five versions of the song and the melody may be used in some of the other tracks as well, so there's no shortage of it.
Emi Evans wrote the lyrics, which are in some "chaos language" she came up with "coined to sound as if our modern languages had drifted apart for thousands of years only to become indistinguishable to us."
Awesome game, awesome soundtrack, SOTW!
<Edit>
For those particularly interested in the chaos language, Emi Evans talks about it in this interview: NieR Replicant singer Emi Evans talks music, Chaos Language, and more – PlayStation.Blog[^]
About Song of the Ancients, Emi says "There’s German, Hungarian, Welsh, Japanese, French, and Latin, as well as some extra sounds I thought up myself!"
Other tracks from the soundtrack are based on specific languages, like French, English and Gaelic.

 wow ... this is really amazing, I mean the composition and the performance. And, BTW, I just took a break from my project to check the Lounge ... I am curious about the language on this track as it sounds like Japanese/Portuguese. This "chaos language" sounds very natural, I will try to dig deeper on this ... Cheers

You were flagged by the spamfilter because a new account is repeatedly posting links in the lounge.
I do like the occasional song here; there's a weekly one that keeps posting good music. But that's one post. Those that don't like it, skip it.
..but you are spammming songs. Is not logical either, why make an account on a non-music site and dump a bunch of music as your first post?
There's this button saying "email" below this post; those don't appear here and your message would come up in my email. Feel free.

I don't know the game and still think it is a nice song.

I'm seriously curious how one memorizes lyrics that are made up of different languages.
Quite amazing. Blue doesn't suit her though.

Training I suppose.
The human memory can be amazing. I read somewhere that what you learn rythmically is easier to remember.
Not the first time I am years without hearing a song and then one day it is played in the radio and I can start singing (very bad, but I am alone) in the car almost the whole lyrics...

A German Shepherd, Doberman and a Cat die and go to Heaven.
All three are greeted at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter, who informs them they have to meet with God. So off they trudge. A few minutes later they enter the palace where God is sitting, and he beckons them near.
God says, “I want to know what you believe in, and how pure and true your heart and soul are”.
The German Shepherd answers first, “I believe in discipline, training and loyalty to my master.”
“Good,” says God, “then sit down on my right side.”
“Doberman, what do you believe in?” asks God.
The Doberman answers, “I believe in the love, care and protection of my master.”
“Excellent”, says God, “you may sit at my left side.”
Then he looks at the Cat, and asks, “And what do you believe in, Cat?”
The Cat rolls it's eyes and responds, “I believe you’re sitting in my seat”.
