On breaking down lyrics, reminds me of the English version of Sabaton's "1648" song. During the song's bridge, it seems to me that the singing becomes strangely deep for something sang in English, but since the main singer is a half Swede/Czech, a Czech name is used in that bridge, and the singer said he some times confuses the English and Swedish lyrics for that album, maybe that's why.
And on the matter of colonization, that's would be, for example, why the main Norwegian dialect, bokmål, is so close to Danish, as Norway, from what I could find, was a Dane colony for a few centuries. And in a similar sense, from what I could find, why the dialects in Spain are so strong, since after dictator Franco's regime fell, a policy was placed to bring back the dialects he tried to erradicate.
I am having a listen to Sabaton. Oooo, yeah. I hear what you're saying here. It was the same thing I felt when I was thinking when listening to Gogol Bordello. Well, I meant actually the vocals - the pitch. They sing at a pitch lower than I think most American songs tend to hit. Ah, okay I am seeing now in this lyrics video what you're talking about. You mean dark as in subject matter, and how it seems to be highlighting some kind of battle (Thirty Years War?) ho-kay do-kay I get you now. I am embarrassed to say but I honestly know so little about European history. I don't know if we ever touched anything like that growing up. I only even learned a bit about the Thirty Years War recently when looking up facts about a painting I saw. I will say that something we did touch upon in school was the spread of the Normans. Which I thought was more a general expansion yet again but can see it was actually a series of conquests on account of how things were expressed. Hmm.
Thank you my fellow human for poking my brain awake and getting it to bubble and churn.
I always thought perhaps in Europe things spread more by migration than colonization but I suppose it makes sense. When you actually sit and think about that too. You've just made me aware of how little I know as a whole, and I've got the itch to fill the gap. I will say
So, you had asked about materials to study in a previous comment. While I found no concrete materials yet, maybe looking for questions related to proficiency level tests could be a good start? Like for example in my case, to study materials oriented at norskprøve (for Norwegian), JLPT (for Japanese), or to practice since I don't get many chances to speak in Spanish, SIELE's test.
Hey Auster (I believe that was your name - just going off of memory so it might be wrong). Thanks to you I went down the rabbit hole on the 30 Years War. As soon as I started, I said oh yeah, it's this! I remember a bit about this. It was a fun romp and I wanted to send some thanks your way.
And thank you for the detailed suggestion, I'm copying it into my study notes to preserve it. That actually would be wonderful, because to understand the base of a language you would in fact begin to see the etymological roots shared among one another. There was a really interesting article someone posted on here within the past two weeks about the spread of Asiatic and African languages. Did you see it?
About the history rabbit hole, glad I was able to help! ^_^ If you'd be interested for more history musics, Radio Tapok and Glittertind have some too, with Radio Tapok singing mainly about Russian history, and Glittertind, iirc, having only one history-oriented album, Evige Asatro.
And about the the article, don't think I did. But maybe it was about Afrikaans? Iirc, it's a variant of Dutch. Or maybe it was Macau or Philippines? Memory might be failing me, since it's been a while since I checked into them, but I vaguely remember reading that they speak variants of Portuguese and Spanish, respectively.
