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

[sovay]

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.

I've enjoyed both those versions of that song for some time, having been given them by you. Thank you for the reminder to listen to them again, and for the fascinating background information.

I knew I'd posted both of them before; they're autumnal. But there have been new people since then. Glad you still like.

Indeed, and I certainly didn't mean to criticise your posting them again. They deserve the re-sharing.
