Y’all, please listen to this song. This is Mongolian folk rock by a new band called the HU, it’s the only song they’ve got out so far but it is a strong start, holy shit.

According to one of the comments on the video, it’s sung from the perspective of the spirits of the ancestors, who are lamenting that politicians aren’t keeping their word, Mongolians are discriminating against each other over their provincial origin or bloodline, and the traditional wisdom of the elders is being lost. The English translation in the captions isn’t great, but you really don’t need it to enjoy the song. This is going to be stuck in my head all weekend.

youtube just started sticking this into my playlists, I like it a lot!

This is RAD AS HELL

“The Rising Sun / 初生的太阳” by Hanggai (杭盖乐队). 2016.

Hanggai is an Inner Mongolian folk rock band based in Beijing. Their name “Hanggai” is derived from the Mongolian word for natural landscape, and they incorporate traditional throat singing, morin khuur (horse-hair fiddle), and tobshuur (a two-stringed Mongolian banjo) in their music. They aim to preserve native forms of music by mixing them with modern music elements such as electric guitar, bass, and electronic programming. Amidst both Sinofication of culture and westernization of music, Hanggai promotes “Mongolian spiritual strength.” They amassed popularity after appearing on Chinese reality singing show Sing My Song (中国好歌曲) and have gone on to work with artists such as Khalil Fong.

“The Rising Sun” is from their 6th album Horse of Colors and has lyrics talking about mist and fog evocative of nostalgia.

Reblogging again, here are the transcribed lyrics!

Chorus

Jolene (×4)

I’m begging of you please don’t take my man

Jolene (x4)

Please don’t take him just because you can

Verse One

Your beauty is beyond compare

With flaming locks of auburn hair

With ivory skin

And eyes of emerald green

For years our town’s been terrorised

By the beast who takes disguise

In the shell

That calls itself Jolene

Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath

Eyes closed against the threat of death

That lies behind

The teeth of that Jolene

The closer that you get to her

The more those edges seem to blur

To something that

Cannot be called Jolene

Chorus

Verse Two

Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape

Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape

From judgement of

The Eldritch One, Jolene

But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair

My eyes have met your vacant stare

But I’ve been told

I’m hard to scare, Jolene

Chorus but it’s:

Jolene (x4)

I’m begging of you please don’t take my man

Jolene (x4)

I’ll end this story just how it began

I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man

End.
