Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

ooh i love Ta Se Na La it's so pretty! i really want to learn irish but it's hard because i'm never around anyone who speaks it and i find the pronunciations kind of difficult.
(semi-related rant: like no one in my school believes that irish is a language? seriously it only takes a quick google search to confirm that it is indeed a language. but no they insist on telling me i'm wrong awsdcfvgbh this why i want to go to high school so badly--)

I'd recommend looking for possible scholarships if you're worried about the cost (if worst comes to pass student loans might have to do though :/).
Also since y'all seem so enthusiastic about Gaelic, here's some more! (lol I tried to post this yestersay and after I finished my list the page decided to randomly reload so I lost it all and didn't feel like retyping it sorry-)
O Cad é Sin Don te Sin - Caladh Nua
Ni Na la - Órla Fallon
Dúlamán
Siúil a Rúin (partially in English) - Clannad
Casadh an tSúgáin - The Gloaming
Dh'éirich mi moch madainn cheóthar - Julie Fowlis
I got a bunch more, so if y'all enjoy these just let me know and I'd be happy to share some more of my culture! :)
(PS I just went to our school's Chinese festival and can someone please teach me how to play the Guzheng and/or Danbo(? or at least I think that's what it's called, but I can't remember perfectly. I remember it had only one string, and was mainly played by moving an antenna-thingie) they all sounded/looked amazinggggggg and OML it was just so gooodddddd)

I saw Hex asking for some song recommendations in other languages a page or so back, so here's a few more!
> Soleil - Pomme (French) [Contemporary music, guitar, mostly calm]
> Ceux qui Revênt - Pomme (French) [Contemporary, piano + other stuff, haunting, dizzying, TW: in the official MV it does speed up / get pretty frantic towards the end, kind of like like a panic/anxiety attack, so if you're sensitive to that, maybe give it a pass :)]
> Tri Martolod - Nolwenn Leroy (Actual Old English? Like, actually, literally unrecognisable?? Also known as Breton, I believe) []
> Fear a' Bhata - Niamh Parsons (Irish Gaelic! :D) [A bit bittesweet, subdued, gentle]
> BLUEBIRD - Ikimono Gakari (Japanese) [Definitely the most rock-adjacent recommendation so far, loud and impassioned but still really pretty]
> Federkleid - FAUN (German) ["Medieval-styled," generally sounds cool and fairly chill]
> Mizu Fusen - Fujita Maiko (Japanese) [incredibly calming, traditional(ish?) Japanese feeling]
> Butterfly and Flower - Fujita Maiko (Japanese) [actually haunting, so friggin' pretty and I really recommend checking out more of Fujita Maiko if you like any of her songs I listed here]
> BOCA - Dreamcatcher (Korean) Of course I had to include my first beloved Kpop band <3 [Spanish-inspired, seamlessly changes tone at least 3 times, I guess it's technically rock-based]
> Filter - BTS' Jimin (Korean) [Contemporary, catchy, a little whisper'y-voiced(I know some people can't stand that style, so it might be a deal-breaker for you), guitar, the lyrics are actually surprisingly tragic]
> Fukurou - KOKIA (Japanese) [Literally the most calming thing you'll ever hear, piano, KOKIA'S voice is absolutely angelic]
> Otona no Ookami - KOKIA (Japanese) [Absolutely gorgeous vocals, very passionate and energetic, percussion + strings]
> Paradise - Dreamcatcher's Siyeon (Korean) [Upbeat, mostly pretty calm and chill, there are spikes of energy though, actually makes me cry every time I hear it, such soulful vocals from Siyeon]
> Ji Mingyue - SING (Chinese) [technically Cpop, but it is heavily influenced by traditional sounding music, overall quiet lovely]
> Skip Skip - Purple Kiss (Korean) [These last two are really upbeat and contemporary, plus they just have a certain wow-factor I can't quite explain. Like, it just sounds really polished and satisfying, plus the lyrics are really empowering?? So like, yea. Listen to these, even if you don't like Kpop. They're literally so good!]
> Ponzona - Purple Kiss (Korean) [A little more mysterious and, like velvety(???) than Skip Skip, but it's just as good]
