But the fire burns bright on our dear Lord's tree

Every year for Guy Fawkes Day, my mother watches V for Vendetta (2005). Not being at home this year, I seem to have spent the evening hanging out at auditions instead. I suppose that still has to do with masks. Have this song I love about burning. The internet tells me it's unknown whether it's a genuine folksong or a brilliant fiction, but I don't care: it's autumnal, and it chills me, and I associate it besides with Loki, which is appropriate to the release date at the end of this week. The first version is my favorite, but I offer them both for comparison.

The Devil's Interval, "The Bonfire Carol"

June Tabor & Oysterband, "Judas (Was a Red-Headed Man)"

Happy Fifth of November.

Oh oh oh oh the harmonies in the Devil's Interval's version. Aaaaahhhhhh wonderful!

I am going to split myself into four and we are going to sing songs in harmony like this, and all four of me are going to be so delighted with the sound.

Thank you.

That is a great reason to fission.

Enjoy!
