Music Tuesday #056: Medieval Madness

Apart from a reference to my favorite pinball game, feel free to gift an original if you have a spare, this weeks music goes back to medieval times with a band called Mediaeval Baebes.  I haven't got a clue how I came across them, but in the meantime I have collected several albums.  They are not high on my rotation playlists, but I do seek them out now and then when I feel like it.  The first song I've ever heard from them must have been in 2000, a couple of years after the band got formed.  It is the song for this week's Music Tuesday and titled Undrentide, just like the album where you can find it on.  While doing some background research for this week I found out that John Cale produced this album.  This reminds me that I could do a chain of posts al linked by a single person.  John Cale, of the Velvet Underground fame, would be a good starting point.

For the language buffs: undrentide means the third hour of the day (9AM) in middle English.  Sometimes referenced to as morning as well.

In this live recording they explain what the song is about.  Saves me the trouble of typing it out:
