I’m a bit lost for words... which let’s be honest, is unusual for me. You bring so much talent and value to this platform in so many ways. This is just stunning.
@Ned, this is what your trending page should look like. When you get serious about wanting to bring in new readers and investors.. let me know.
Justine, thanks so much for your words, they mean so much to me... I kind of felt unsure, I don't know why. And well there you see my surrounding locations if you ever want to come to visit... with cake, cookies (or Tiramisu to lure Pechi to come). Thanks always for your kind and constant support as a fellow Steemian friend, and for providing yourself my dose of beauty to keep me reading myself the platform (aka I love your feed but you know that) :)
Oh my dear friend, your talent is out of this world and you don’t even know it. Your huge heart can be seen by all, you are one in a million girl! Take that to heart and believe it.. you are special.
Annnnnddd I’m always in for cake and cookies, let’s do it! ❤️
And you and everyone made me teary eyed again :). Catching up today, as I told you somewhere else, yesterday I got literally lost in the woods :) trying to send the love back to you all. Thanks so much.
This is one of the most beautiful expressions of music and nature imaginable. I feel immersed and one with the universe now. A thousand thank you's for this gift you shared. You're so beautiful I want to marry you right now.
Awww blush thank you so much Luzcypher and also to my @openmic family for the encouragement and support. So many signs of love I woke up with. I have been fighting my not video editing friendly computer but it was worth and I am overwhelmed and grateful with all the love and will try to address everyone with thanks. I have shared other videos one, Grow, I mentioned I would like to share with you because I think it connects with one of your songs so I may dare share with you if you do not mind.
Dunno what else to say
I feel encouraged and loved and wanting to share more including open mic. ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you 🐀
"I kind of felt unsure" <--- always so humble @yidneth... once again, beautifully performed, magically orchestrated, and the imagery swiftly takes you away to a lovely dreamy place where one can float away on a bed of clouds! 😊
Aww Alex thanks always for your constant support since day zero, and you always have the sweetest reviews your comment is so pretty that I am going to dare ask you to post it on youtube? Linda commented on ig ♥️ so hopefully make her feel special and well, see all this little army of love. Dtube has not upvoted, at least yet, still you all sent me briefly to trend. The community. Thanks ♥️♥️♥️
Haha so far aiming for dtube to see it... But honestly happy and encouraged and the cuddly warm feeling of so much love, the effort of many small and manual curations and the people. Thank you all
Haha so far hope dtube sees it... Ned is aiming too high. Still I woke up to all this overwhelming love, even brief trending, on the merit of you all, the community. I have hurting cheeks.
It would certainly be awesome if @ned would occasionally use his stake to upvote AMAZING content like this, but shoot - we should be calling out @dtube here as well. If the @dtube curation effort can't figure it out to upvote this they should just quit already. Come on @dtube!
I'm totally blown away by this amazing piece of art and would upvote it 1000 times if I could. Resteemed on my account and Open Mic. Stunningly beautiful. Truly stunning.
Aww thank you so much. I think I replied other comment up there. I feel overwhelmed and happy bybeveryones support and those best wishes back to you and all my open mic family.
Aww Carl thanks, Llfarms maybe triggered something there... Well so far no @dtube, I confess that doing the post so well and organically just thanks to the community should give them a clue to support back. I think they already take part of the post wether they do or not. I still trust they might more even with all the lovely shout outs it is having from friends. But I learned once it is bettee not to expect and just be grateful if things happen. See all the little curation teams together manually... All the lovely comments. It means a lot to me. I saw curie gave me a small vote even if I was not eligible due to payout, that small curie has been the biggest to me. We all fear to echo on silent halls when we go through the "long way" yet I have felt seen, and cuddled. And it is Sunday so I will be replying all as my vp allows but today is Nature day, out we go!!!
Thank you, Carl.
Yeah come on @dtube. How many times do we need to tag @dtube for the @dtube curation effort to drop a 100% @dtube vote on this wonderful @dtube video. Come on guys, use your delegation as it was intended.
Carl, I was lost in the woods yesterday (literally) butvstumbling upon your many efforts and shoutouts to help me. Thanks so much. Writing proper thanks to you and all later. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
I totally agree with you there and somehow sounds funny in a GOOD way! :D and Oh my god! @yidneth This is a real deal!!!! You put sooooo much into it and I love the nature and how beautiful the scenes are! One of the best! on Steem blockchain for sure!!!!!
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Been around active since February and I do honestly try my best in my feed. To see the community coming up together to lift my spirits and confidence this way, thanks so much
Can I just say how great it is to see so many curation efforts come together to make sure this amazing work is rewarded. It shows steemit isnt so broken after all, maybe it just needs alittle help, and coming together is the first step. ❤️
Actually there is a little trick for other deer (not this one) that appeared in grow and will appear in forthcoming video, I befriended a family of deer stag included bringing carrots twice a month, and they come to me like pets now. But this one was in another place and random deer, it was juvenile and actually I wasn't even feeding him there, so it was really sweet, kind of empathy!
Thank you Marica, it's my first upload to dtube in a while, I cannot get to play it from firefox, does it work for you? And well this is me, this Summer and the place I live in, :) I edited this one myself though @hedac was an attentive teacher
@markangeltrueman thanks heartily, because I have been working so hard in this one, I welcome the encouragement it means even if it's a symbolic one. It means a lot to me, thanks. I have grown this account organically I have never used a bot, I usually rely on random votes that curiously always come from different users... but the meaning of it really does encourage me. It tells me, means you see me and tell me you've made a bigger effort and encourages me to do more, plus I see fellow curators leaving their feedback which for me is the true reward. thanks to Curie team!
Curie is searching for new and/or undiscovered authors. As we all know Yidneth is great, but she is already discovered and earning well in her last 7 days (3 posts including this one) she has payout equal to two curie upvotes. :)
And I don't doubt she will be rewarded on this one too, and we (curie) rewarded her when she started and made path to her publicity here.
@svemirac I was not really asking for it, though this is a new video and this is a two months effort post, so if ever needed encouragement on one, this is the one, the first in almost a year of the kind. I've been curied three times and already grateful. I never lose hope though as it's also stated that sometimes rules are overlooked when there is a significant breakthrough or advance, so I won't expect it but I don't lose hope of it either. Thanks and all the team, I know it goes anyway to needed places and I trust manual curation and everything you do. And Meno for the good wishes.
Such an enchanting and mystical music. You never disappoint @yidneth. Not only do you provide top notch vocals, you also add pictures and writing. Your beauty tops it all of course 😘😘😘
That's what quality posts should look like. I wish I could upvote you with more than 100% voting power.
Aye Aye, my Captain @drakos! Thanks always for stopping by and for the constant encouraging you provide... believe me it's not unnoticed and It's very appreciated. I try my best and well that's my region This late Spring and Summer so far :) because Summer has not ended and we are still "harvesting" the seeds we planted.
Thanks always for the support
your ratty steemian fellow friend! :)
As a latvian I'm surprised by your work here.
You must be in Latvia at Līgo celebration. It's totally worth it- songs,dance, Līgo cumin cheese, and a lot of beer :)
But about this song- You nailed it. Top noch!!!! Thank you so much, if more people would be like you.
Greetings from Riga :)
Yay, the third Latvian fellow that joins me here :) Can I make a question?
Can you understand me? It was done with lots of respect but I speak no Latvian, I am in fact from Spain, so I hope I do not have the funniest accent, so I was a bit concerned about that. Well the thing is that as a tradition I've been wearing garlands and bathing in rivers in Summer Solstice XD but your country were celebrating this all time alone :). I play the kantele/kokle and well my original music is more film-music fantasy, but I do enjoy traditional music if it has that "fantasy" nostalgic element to it. I befriended a Latvian friend @lindahas and she encouraged me, so I took it as a challenge and well, for all my friends and followers it was unexpected too XD. And yes it's now in my bucket list to do things in life... Celebrate Līgo
Greetings back from Spain, where this was filmed, though I tried to look locations that I thought looked like rural Europe, something I think the celebration has in common. In fact I'm now inclined to make a little version of another Latvian traditional but I can't make the words out clearly yet. I found a version but no lyrics online yet, but well there might be another ;-)
Answer to your question- Yes of course I can understand you very well.
There is a thing- In Latvia living loads of people who can't say a single word in Latvian language, and those people living here already for many years...this makes me respect your work even more, cause I think our language is not the easy to pronounce. I guess it's all about practice. :)
And I thought that video is filmed here in Latvia, that was dope!!! For sure looking forward to see more of your masterpieces.
This was so beautiful - entrancing. Your work is always such amazing quality!!! It looks like something i would see on TV! :) I am so glad to always see you thriving here :)
Your music is so calming and beautiful <3 I love that you take the time to film all the little insects and everything.... that is so time-consuming! You can see how seriously you take your work! Every little bit is perfect!! :)
Wonderful job and congratulations on your huge success on this post, my friend! :)
Oh but for me it has many protagonists, all my animal friends, it's a celebration of the Sun and how we must be grateful for what Nature provides to us, to me and to the smallest ones too. And i'm sure the vulture is in the sky but unseen from the plane of the movie, it's there, sure!
But most of all it's a tribute to my steemian friend @lindahas who encouraged me to sing in Latvian when I have no idea hahah XD
Ow dear @yidneth what have you done again this time that is even more fantastic that the last ones. This payout it totally how it should be because you deserve all the recognition in the world! <3
Absolutely stunning performance, Priscilla – not sure I have more words than that; you've taken them with your magical voice. <3 Thank you for sharing your brilliance with all of us. I hope to see more video-edits from you. ;) xo
I started one I left pending a while back and starting to plot a welcome of Autumn. Thanks do much. I know Hector knows best and has more wizardry but it was fun and I got in my animal friends because O am sure the x factor here was Pikku the duck
Thanks Zippy, I know you handle this as a job so your compliment means tons to me ♥️🐀
How is the baby possum? Just came home and collapsed in bed, we got a bit lost in our hike lol
Absolutely stunning, this is a multimedia experience of joy on an epic level. The quality of your work is always exemplary, and you must be at the top of Steemit's quality content producers - if anyone wanted a blog post to share around the internet that says come to Steemit and enjoy amazing content - this is certainly the post.
Wow, never expected something, anything Latvia-related from you, let alone a huge post like this with your amazing rendition of this folk song! I am Latvian myself and I thank @lindahas for showing it to you.
And, of course - thank you for making this and spreading the word about the mythical wonder that is the Latvian pagan tradition.
Awww are you Latvian? weee.... Well I love all folklore from all countries but I have a soft spot for traditional music, all across European countries. I am myself quite on the "go to the woods like an elf full time" LOL and when I joined steemit I immediately befriended Linda and we both talked about wearing garlands and the traditions of MidSummer. Then Lammas (Harvest) is all August and well been plotting this a while because it was her name day a few days ago.
So yes I have on my bucket list now a celebrating Ligo in Latvia one of these years :)
pd. expect the unexpected... see what little miracle has happened too with this post :)
Just one question, could you understand a word of what I say? I don't speak your language, so my excuses if I mispronounce it. Tried my best :)
Sorry, I forgot to mention - your Latvian pronunciation is spot on! That was one of the things that struck me most - it sounds as if this is performed by a Latvian folklore band and I love it all the more for it :)
Awww you just made my day... it was my biggest concern to mispronounce, because I have done it with utter respect. I fell in love with this song (and another one I found that I can't really make the words out so I may knock knock to you and Linda for assistance). Actually I do wear garlands and I've spend a few solstices soaking in freezing ponds and rivers, so I found sweet I was celebrating Ligo, just on my own anyway.
You are the sweetest sunflower Queen!! This is so beautiful and your harp playing is just perfecto! I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning playing with some wonderful musicians under the bright big Full Moon...... slowly made some coffee this morning, opened my Steem to this what an epic way to wake up and see your sunflower sunshine... !! Keep inspiring us! Love and Huggies....
Awww Kimmy, so this is me and my neighbouring fields and groves Summer 2018. So a bit of mybpresent self that always misses you sonmuch and long one day we can build new lovelybmemories together. Btw got lost hiking just returned from the forest under the full moon. Huuuuugggggggs. Collapsing now but catching up with you tomorrow
Awww It's kind of a call a quieter life maybe... the joys of the rural life... I hope one year I can rent a van and tour Europe, countries and traditions, Northern Lights in Norway, countryside in Poland, Ligo celebrations in Latvia, it would be lovely, thanks always for stopping by and showing your support. You know yours is one my my favourite feeds all over steemit. I know I have told you before. Then I insist because I do do mean it :)
This post is of epic proportions!
Are you available to help me produce a video, if, I fly myself and guitar over to you?
Your photography and artwork are also immense!
The song speaks for itself Pris, I've been transported back to early medieval Europe, and the enchanted forest pixies that follow me into the water nymphs domain!
They are the kind of images you create in my mind with your magical sounds and visuals.
It's a real pleasure to have met you here and I treasure these amazing posts of yours.
I just have to echo what @luzcypher and everyone else has said!
A true work of art Pris!
Much love
DC
PS. How I wish I had the time and resources to produce such amazing video footage! (I fear I'm not even in your league)
Darren, I was leaving love at your last
Yes, it got lots of love, still overwhelmed, I think it was a community effort. I use no promotions so any post can range from one dollar to this lol I still need to brace to resume on normality next.
Well believe it or not this video was filmed around my house except the big lake in a hike.
I made this one, Hector helped me filming but I edited the whole thing during Summer and that is the duck I bring cookies too, and the bird on my blackberry bush. So I filmed details of Summer around me. As hector is busy (production is mine too exceot for frame drum) I selected all clips and edited it all myself with his supervision, so this one was a learning process for me. It has no fancy fx or transitions, it is not filmed with the best camera... It just had lots of tine while I learned (only took me two months lol while fields changed colours). You livevin UK close to countryside. My recommendation is film footages when you see pretty things, and aim for simple elegant videos. If I were there we would be likely dueting a celtic one on a beautiful moor. Hmmm you never know ;) you bring tea and I Spanish ommelette.
Thanks for stopping by...
Start filming, you got good looks, good music and pretty countryside. Go for it!
Absolutely breathtaking! You are truly rad & immensely inspiring my sweet, adorable friend ❤️
Thank you for bring YOU, for bringing so much class & style 💕
I am blessed to call you my friend 💞
That has been my Summer so far, the cookie monster duck, the corn bunting in the blackberry bush, the deer encounters... So glad to share it with you all
And now 🐀
Let me tell you something, girl
I am proud of being your friend too 🌱🌱🌱
Beautiful , the music , the audio , the scenery , the photography , colors.. and PIKKU!! This was sooo pretty Pris ! loved every second of it :) .. Makes me wanna go visit and have some cookies with Pikku.. can I come over??
Pikku made it to trending... Pechi... I can't even say it's my credit cos he's the true star in this... yes come over... @LLfarms is gonna bring cake and Tiramisu hahhaha @hedac went yesterday to the pond to gift Pikku some cookies for his good work, but he wasn't there... but he's been part of my Summer and I hope we will cross paths again. Here he is forever :)
little starlet...
bit demanding on cookie payment but it was worth...
such feathers, such glistening eyes, such gliding on pond ease! :)
Ohh, Priscilla. I know now why this has taken so long and I am so enchanted with your voice, as always, but also the videography is stunning! And it's such a beautiful thing to witness how well all of your spring and summer travels have meshed together into this one great journey of the living. I love itAnd yiu are so beautiful. The sunflowers are my favorite besides the beautiful animals! And what is that little critter at 2:33?
So much admiration for you, Pris, and Hector clearly did an amazing job too!
Well done, big cheers and lots of love!
There is a beetle and then a dragonfly
Awww I told you about Pikku, and the corn bunting bird and its chick haha do I guess you recognize my fellow friends from recent conversations.
Thanks do much for the encouragement Serena, always
So next time in the fields pick some flowers for your hair, a warm sunny kiss from this side of the pond
What a wonderful song and what a great post again!
You do bring so much here and it always blows me away!
The time and effort that you put in shows!
wow wow wow and some more wow!
You rock woman
Sneeeeeekkkyyyyyy!! Thanks so much...
Look at the little miracle that has happened...! Thanks to all the community, to all the manual curation teams like yours...
No bid bots, not even the dtube vote so far (hoping still they see me) but just the love of the whole community sent me to trending!!
I want to say thanks to you always for your kindness and your constant support and for doing what you do, precisely this, curating people and making their day
This was my rat Ritva, she's looking at you with loving starry filled eyes... ![ritva-birchbranch.jpg]
()
This gave me the chills. Just so good, the footage / video work is just perfect, the magical accompaniment to your pure voice. Wow!!!!! I love, love, love it!!!
Aww thanks so much, the arrangements are mostly acoustic, I actually play that Latvian instrument though I'm from Spain and I speak no Latvian. It was kind of the challenge of a fellow steemian and I made my own twist. All locations are around my area, as I've seen the fields going from green to gold this Summer and well the little critters and such... Pikku the duck, and the corn bunting on that blackberry bush, they have been the companions of my daily strolls and I wanted them to be there part of something... this season, this Summer, that has not ended yet
and well you see the little miracle that has happened... all I can say is thank you all
So hit the trending this once just because of the people (not even dtube yet)
I was undergoing a kind of you know, a big of down time... not leaving, I'm here but I only have time to post a few times a week and I try at least that those posts are worth, so you always fear to echo on silent halls... but yesterday I found myself being nominee for MAM by my fellow friends and then this...
And I need now my vp to recover to reply and do proper thanks cos I think I fried it hahaha for good!
thanks so much...
pd. playing the harp on the floor (I think I told you in your post) looks easy... but the ticks, the hard floor hahaha ... it's like the river poses hahaha LOL
Stilll that's a true part of myself, I'm actually wearing greens and carrying my harp to the woods
for no reason :) hahah just because I love to play outdoors
OH! That was delightful! My kids and I watched it twice, and I'm still humming the tune. Thank you so much for sharing this here, and for being you. The beauty you make inspires so many. Much love!
Aww thanks sweet princess.. Yes, I am no Latvian but I fell in love with the tune and in fact I'm tempted to do still another traditional one from that country I fell in love with... I just hope my pronunciation is good enough... these are all my neighbouring fields as they have shifted during Summer :) I know you appreciate the simple beauty of Nature.
Aww what a compliment and you're the fourth Latvian coming to comment to the post... and all with a lovely word... It was done with utter respect for your tradition, though my pronunciation might not be perfect, was done with great love. Thanks for stopping by!
OMG! This is just stunning, this post is beautiful in so many ways, really I wasn't pending of your work outside the OpenMic but now I'll be more closer to you. I LOVE this! I feel happy after meeting this work, you give so much value to the platform, really thank you a lot Priscilla, you're showing us what Steemit should be, good vibes and blessings always.
hahhah awww thanks so much, oh my don't worry, we are making connections, not hurrying the speed of them :)
well there have been quite a few videos shared already, some a bit more ambitious than this one :) though I'm happy I edited this one entirely on my own.
I recommend you "In the Mist", "Grow" and if you want to understand my love for rats "No Matter what they say" http://youtube.com/yidneth
A very nice song in my opinion, produced very well, cool sound architecture, beautiful video. My daughter liked it too, what means a thing.
Congratulations and good luck.
Thank you for making music.
Awww thanks so much, this was just late spring and all Summer so far, all in the fields around me and some local groves, so I guess that's been my Summer so far :). Thanks so much for listening/ watching and always for your support as well as the sma community :)
Awww, thanks to everyone :) I have befriended a family of deer feeding them with carrots for a year and I'm doing a videoclip with them, but this was another grove and another deer, he just came :) aww
amazing video and beautiful song! the vocals and the photography are incredible on this. I loved the shots of the swaying grass and the secluded glens, especially the 6th shot in and the special affect shot with the sunflower! and all the aminals and insects!!! just love all of it to bits :) gonna listen again!
Thank you, it's all filmed in my surroundings and I never like to miss the little bug or the little butterfly. That duck and the corn bunting bird have been my true friends this summer (cookie devourers too)... guess it's a call to pastoral quieter life nostalgia... Enjoy the rest of the Summer
the warm long days
and above all
be grateful of what you harvest
:)
In the crops... or in life
Awww muchísimas gracias, esta es una canción popular del norte de Europa pero en el feed y network verás también mis temas originales, muchísimas gracias de veras. Soy la primera sorprendida de ver todo el amor que está recibiendo este post de forma orgánica... Gracias, comunidad!
Thank you so much Petra, :) It was really the "right" post for me to get the encouraged in because I've been working on it for a couple of months. And thanks for the compliment as well. :) That's been my summer, my morning strolls to the pond, the duck I befriended, the corn bunting bird at the blackberry bush...
thanks!
me encanta tu trabajo, esta lleno de fantasia, se lo mostre al equipo de trabajo y lo disfrutaron, que lindo saber lo que se va construyendo por el mundo.
Muchísimas gracias, es una canción tradicional de Letonia, una celebración del verano y todas las localizaciones pues mi verano de este año a mi alrededor, me alegra mucho que te guste, no es mi idioma nativo y eso me preocupaba un poco. Gracias por ver y escuchar!
Wooooowwww @yidneth! I feel awful for missing this post, video and the whole trending thing! I watched the video just now and it's simply gorgeous. You've already been showered in compliments and I have nothing to add to them. It's breathtaking and shows your artist soul in a very true way <3
I've visited Latvia and hope you will do so too! It's a gorgeous place and clearly it inspires you :-)
Thank you so much and I am always gratefulfor the feedback both here and on youtube. Love was overwhelming. I am very encouraged. Thanks for watching it ♥️
Though I intend to write a proper thank you post, somehow I feel compelled to leave a comment on my own here as well... THANK YOU COMMUNITY, It was unexpected and it was encouraging... and yes we are surfing harsh times on Steemit yet you placed briefly in trending a humble minnow ORGANICALLY and most importantly I've been blessed with your lovely and amazing feedback. Thanks to all the curation teams for almost coordinate like a little army...
I have felt the love and I'm grateful
Steem on!
Here a pannel of selfies and phone pics while filming
This was incredible! The song and the music video edit. Great job! If you run out of ideas for songs, do some Lord of the Rings or Hobbit covers.....:) hehe my favorite movies.
Wow this was incredible! Loved it! :) Yeah fantasy is awesome. I grew up loving fantasy, movies like Legend, Willow, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, in my early years, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my brothers and friends. We even filmed a cheesy D&D Fantasy style feature length film, but we never finished it. Too many visual effects that needed to be done. This was back in 2002 thru 2004 haha. Then I posted the trailer on YouTube in 2010. haha it was a good experience, but wouldn't do it again like we did. We didn't have nearly enough crew, nor money, to do a movie like this. haha here it is if you want to see it.
I have some friends that also made their own attempts at fanmade movies and webseries, not one but two groups of friends, one work now for GoT costumes sometimes. I also grew with the same movies so I guess we're aroudn the same times. My favourites were The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, those were my icon fantasy movies. I actually know how to play most of those soundtracks, including Legend and others. Yes, visual effects are complex and my computer is old. I've had a few "subtle fantasy with subtle effects" like sometimes less is more, and I think some of them are elegant. I'd recommend "In the mist " at youtube.com/yidneth It's not heigh or epic fantasy but subtle. Yidneth in fact is not my artistic name but the name of my comic I make fantasy illustration as well, and that's my way to "make the movie" my albums became "illustrated projects" that serve the "story". Not this song, this is a traditional folk and actually not my native language :)
I liked the fairy! :) of course :)
hehehe yes! The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are awesome! I heard somewhere that Labyrinth was being remade, either as a movie or TV series. That would be so cool! haha my computer is very old too, and it gets tough to do complicated effects on it now days. Yidneth is a really cool fantasy name. :) My main fantasy name is Kain Ringthorn. haha
Yes "Yidneth" is now almost my alter-ego but it's really the name of my company and "story", the story is scattered in different formats, in both released albums (also third) in a old graphic novel here and there
Here a drawing I made in the mid nineties for that super super super old works :) hahaha but it grew (both in style and in complexity since)
By the way, it's The Dark Crystal which is getting a prequel series on Netflix :) I happen to be friend of the Frouds because we have coincided in conventions I've performed or as illustrators, they were the original designers of Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal (and Yoda) and they're back in so it's gonna be awesome :).
Wow Priscilla that image looks amazing!! :) I didn't know that about The Dark Crystal. But Labyrinth is definitely getting a new movie too. At least according to this, haha https://movieweb.com/movie/labyrinth-2019/
It is Latvian, I am Spanish but fellow steemian @lindahas challenged or better encouraged to record this. The instrument I play is russian is called Gusli.
I used to be the nerdiest Tolkien fan ever... especially as an early teenager (way before the movies) I even was challenged by Tolkien society to spend the night in the cemetery by his grave and I have a funny story about it...I still love Lord of the Rings, more the book than the movies and Tolkien was framed like grandpa portrait in my room for years... I love fantasy, well I paint and sing and compose fantasy... and I grew up playing rolegames, cards and comics...
I usually have the help of my partner in the edition of the music videos, in this one he still helped me film but I made the edition myself, I tried to follow the rythm of the music though I may have made a few newbie mistakes.. :) My partner has more experience than I have.
no all it's fine, just some shots are great so i would love to have more time to see them. but in other hand i know how hard is to make longer shots, how much equipment and dedication is needed to make it good.
Thanks for the feedback, guess in edition it also goes down to personal taste, though I'm sure there are many mistakes in editing I'm no professional but try my best
or etherealstar :) :)
I would say maybe a star sounds like such a big word
but then dim stars are dim cos they are far... maybe not because they are small
thanks for making me feel bright!
He is the true starlet of the video... look, he's in and we made it to trending... I can't even say it's my credit LOL hahah because he's the star!!!
Thanks for your lovely comment :) Andrea. lots of love to you!
I usually share videos of my original songs here but this one is a folk traditional from a country that is not my own... I am from Spain!! :) but it was kind of a challenge as I befriended a fellow Latvian steemian and fell in love with the tradition and well, tried to do my own version. Thanks for the kind wishes! :)
Oh she finally did listen and watch it :) and I'm really happy she could understand me :) in fact I've been overwhelmed with lots of Latvian love from fellow latvian steemians
Aww thanks so much!
This has been my Summer so far, my neighbouring fields, the critters, the birds, the little groves...And Summer hasn't ended yet... so I hope you all felt it warm and peaceful. Production is just me on all acoustic instruments and my partner on the frame drum and it was a challenge to sing in a language that it is not my own, but it was my fellow steemian @Lindahas from Latvia who introduced me to the folk music of her country, fell in love and felt like giving it a go as it was her name day a few days ago.
Thanks so much for stopping by and listening :) mean watch!
I’m a bit lost for words... which let’s be honest, is unusual for me. You bring so much talent and value to this platform in so many ways. This is just stunning.
@Ned, this is what your trending page should look like. When you get serious about wanting to bring in new readers and investors.. let me know.
Justine, thanks so much for your words, they mean so much to me... I kind of felt unsure, I don't know why. And well there you see my surrounding locations if you ever want to come to visit... with cake, cookies (or Tiramisu to lure Pechi to come). Thanks always for your kind and constant support as a fellow Steemian friend, and for providing yourself my dose of beauty to keep me reading myself the platform (aka I love your feed but you know that) :)
Oh my dear friend, your talent is out of this world and you don’t even know it. Your huge heart can be seen by all, you are one in a million girl! Take that to heart and believe it.. you are special.
Annnnnddd I’m always in for cake and cookies, let’s do it! ❤️
And you and everyone made me teary eyed again :). Catching up today, as I told you somewhere else, yesterday I got literally lost in the woods :) trying to send the love back to you all. Thanks so much.
This is one of the most beautiful expressions of music and nature imaginable. I feel immersed and one with the universe now. A thousand thank you's for this gift you shared. You're so beautiful I want to marry you right now.
Awww blush thank you so much Luzcypher and also to my @openmic family for the encouragement and support. So many signs of love I woke up with. I have been fighting my not video editing friendly computer but it was worth and I am overwhelmed and grateful with all the love and will try to address everyone with thanks. I have shared other videos one, Grow, I mentioned I would like to share with you because I think it connects with one of your songs so I may dare share with you if you do not mind.
Dunno what else to say
I feel encouraged and loved and wanting to share more including open mic. ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you 🐀
"I kind of felt unsure" <--- always so humble @yidneth... once again, beautifully performed, magically orchestrated, and the imagery swiftly takes you away to a lovely dreamy place where one can float away on a bed of clouds! 😊
Aww Alex thanks always for your constant support since day zero, and you always have the sweetest reviews your comment is so pretty that I am going to dare ask you to post it on youtube? Linda commented on ig ♥️ so hopefully make her feel special and well, see all this little army of love. Dtube has not upvoted, at least yet, still you all sent me briefly to trend. The community. Thanks ♥️♥️♥️
well, it seems dtube really missed the curation boat on this one, given all the whales you managed to attract this time around! lol
... and on a sidenote, I also commented on your youtube channel as well! 😁
@dtube finally showed up to the party :) Now where is @ned ?!? :)
Let me know when the echo bounces back.
Well, I didn’t expect him to see it.. but hey.. had to try 🤷♀️
Maybe he just needs someone to offer to help haha
Haha so far aiming for dtube to see it... But honestly happy and encouraged and the cuddly warm feeling of so much love, the effort of many small and manual curations and the people. Thank you all
Haha so far hope dtube sees it... Ned is aiming too high. Still I woke up to all this overwhelming love, even brief trending, on the merit of you all, the community. I have hurting cheeks.
Well I got kind of a little miracle anyway, thanks to you all.
It would certainly be awesome if @ned would occasionally use his stake to upvote AMAZING content like this, but shoot - we should be calling out @dtube here as well. If the @dtube curation effort can't figure it out to upvote this they should just quit already. Come on @dtube!
So true! I just assumed they would be by shortly.. shocked they didn’t...
I'm totally blown away by this amazing piece of art and would upvote it 1000 times if I could. Resteemed on my account and Open Mic. Stunningly beautiful. Truly stunning.
Aww thank you so much. I think I replied other comment up there. I feel overwhelmed and happy bybeveryones support and those best wishes back to you and all my open mic family.
Aww Carl thanks, Llfarms maybe triggered something there... Well so far no @dtube, I confess that doing the post so well and organically just thanks to the community should give them a clue to support back. I think they already take part of the post wether they do or not. I still trust they might more even with all the lovely shout outs it is having from friends. But I learned once it is bettee not to expect and just be grateful if things happen. See all the little curation teams together manually... All the lovely comments. It means a lot to me. I saw curie gave me a small vote even if I was not eligible due to payout, that small curie has been the biggest to me. We all fear to echo on silent halls when we go through the "long way" yet I have felt seen, and cuddled. And it is Sunday so I will be replying all as my vp allows but today is Nature day, out we go!!!
Thank you, Carl.
Yeah come on @dtube. How many times do we need to tag @dtube for the @dtube curation effort to drop a 100% @dtube vote on this wonderful @dtube video. Come on guys, use your delegation as it was intended.
Carl, I was lost in the woods yesterday (literally) butvstumbling upon your many efforts and shoutouts to help me. Thanks so much. Writing proper thanks to you and all later. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
I totally agree with you there and somehow sounds funny in a GOOD way! :D and Oh my god! @yidneth This is a real deal!!!! You put sooooo much into it and I love the nature and how beautiful the scenes are! One of the best! on Steem blockchain for sure!!!!!
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Been around active since February and I do honestly try my best in my feed. To see the community coming up together to lift my spirits and confidence this way, thanks so much
@ned please see above comment and this post to shape the future of STEEM..
Can I just say how great it is to see so many curation efforts come together to make sure this amazing work is rewarded. It shows steemit isnt so broken after all, maybe it just needs alittle help, and coming together is the first step. ❤️
@ned hear what users of your platform has to say
I totally concur @llfarms
Incredible content that SHOULD be top of trending!
Unfortunately, Bidbots are ripe in the top flight!
Damn that's entrancing. Love it. Pretty impressive the wild deer coming up to you. Shows the harmony in your soul.
Actually there is a little trick for other deer (not this one) that appeared in grow and will appear in forthcoming video, I befriended a family of deer stag included bringing carrots twice a month, and they come to me like pets now. But this one was in another place and random deer, it was juvenile and actually I wasn't even feeding him there, so it was really sweet, kind of empathy!
Amazing Yid. Just so amazing. You put the bar so high for all of us. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Marica, it's my first upload to dtube in a while, I cannot get to play it from firefox, does it work for you? And well this is me, this Summer and the place I live in, :) I edited this one myself though @hedac was an attentive teacher
hmmm I'm thinking of plotting something... will tell you soon!
Ok, so if Curie doesn't show up here... i would be blown away...
this was just beautiful, actually the word beautiful falls short...
Stunning nature, stunning video.... loved it...
Dropped her a little curie direct follow love. That's all we can really give as the post went above the maximum pending payout :)
@markangeltrueman thanks heartily, because I have been working so hard in this one, I welcome the encouragement it means even if it's a symbolic one. It means a lot to me, thanks. I have grown this account organically I have never used a bot, I usually rely on random votes that curiously always come from different users... but the meaning of it really does encourage me. It tells me, means you see me and tell me you've made a bigger effort and encourages me to do more, plus I see fellow curators leaving their feedback which for me is the true reward. thanks to Curie team!
I used a bot once but I didn't inhale. I didn't like the way it made me feel and have never tried it again.
ninja points for you!
Curie is searching for new and/or undiscovered authors. As we all know Yidneth is great, but she is already discovered and earning well in her last 7 days (3 posts including this one) she has payout equal to two curie upvotes. :)
And I don't doubt she will be rewarded on this one too, and we (curie) rewarded her when she started and made path to her publicity here.
Cheers! :)
Curie is awesome and one of the reasons I stayed on Steemit when I first started. Love you guys.
@svemirac I was not really asking for it, though this is a new video and this is a two months effort post, so if ever needed encouragement on one, this is the one, the first in almost a year of the kind. I've been curied three times and already grateful. I never lose hope though as it's also stated that sometimes rules are overlooked when there is a significant breakthrough or advance, so I won't expect it but I don't lose hope of it either. Thanks and all the team, I know it goes anyway to needed places and I trust manual curation and everything you do. And Meno for the good wishes.
well you are here... your comment has value too... honestly more than upvotes... I want a standing ovation, this is just beautiful!
Thank you Meno so much. See my cookie monsters friends... Summer has not ended. Happy Lammas
Meno I left a little thank you helpie video on the discord :)
Such an enchanting and mystical music. You never disappoint @yidneth. Not only do you provide top notch vocals, you also add pictures and writing. Your beauty tops it all of course 😘😘😘
That's what quality posts should look like. I wish I could upvote you with more than 100% voting power.
Aye Aye, my Captain @drakos! Thanks always for stopping by and for the constant encouraging you provide... believe me it's not unnoticed and It's very appreciated. I try my best and well that's my region This late Spring and Summer so far :) because Summer has not ended and we are still "harvesting" the seeds we planted.
Thanks always for the support
your ratty steemian fellow friend! :)
As a latvian I'm surprised by your work here.
You must be in Latvia at Līgo celebration. It's totally worth it- songs,dance, Līgo cumin cheese, and a lot of beer :)
But about this song- You nailed it. Top noch!!!! Thank you so much, if more people would be like you.
Greetings from Riga :)
Yay, the third Latvian fellow that joins me here :) Can I make a question?
Can you understand me? It was done with lots of respect but I speak no Latvian, I am in fact from Spain, so I hope I do not have the funniest accent, so I was a bit concerned about that. Well the thing is that as a tradition I've been wearing garlands and bathing in rivers in Summer Solstice XD but your country were celebrating this all time alone :). I play the kantele/kokle and well my original music is more film-music fantasy, but I do enjoy traditional music if it has that "fantasy" nostalgic element to it. I befriended a Latvian friend @lindahas and she encouraged me, so I took it as a challenge and well, for all my friends and followers it was unexpected too XD. And yes it's now in my bucket list to do things in life... Celebrate Līgo
Greetings back from Spain, where this was filmed, though I tried to look locations that I thought looked like rural Europe, something I think the celebration has in common. In fact I'm now inclined to make a little version of another Latvian traditional but I can't make the words out clearly yet. I found a version but no lyrics online yet, but well there might be another ;-)
Answer to your question- Yes of course I can understand you very well.
There is a thing- In Latvia living loads of people who can't say a single word in Latvian language, and those people living here already for many years...this makes me respect your work even more, cause I think our language is not the easy to pronounce. I guess it's all about practice. :)
And I thought that video is filmed here in Latvia, that was dope!!! For sure looking forward to see more of your masterpieces.
This was so beautiful - entrancing. Your work is always such amazing quality!!! It looks like something i would see on TV! :) I am so glad to always see you thriving here :)
Your music is so calming and beautiful <3 I love that you take the time to film all the little insects and everything.... that is so time-consuming! You can see how seriously you take your work! Every little bit is perfect!! :)
Wonderful job and congratulations on your huge success on this post, my friend! :)
This video is fantastic! The singing, the video editing, all blends together seamlessly with the rhythms.
I also like the glowing sunflower.
Thank you, plus as you can see all the animal friends were well paid in cookies :) thanks for your support always!
it is a lovely video indeed :) Will you be celebrating lammas ?The whole town is empty what is the story ? BTW your video missed one protagonist ...
Oh but for me it has many protagonists, all my animal friends, it's a celebration of the Sun and how we must be grateful for what Nature provides to us, to me and to the smallest ones too. And i'm sure the vulture is in the sky but unseen from the plane of the movie, it's there, sure!
But most of all it's a tribute to my steemian friend @lindahas who encouraged me to sing in Latvian when I have no idea hahah XD
Lol i meant one protagonist was missing this one >
It's hovering in the sky, didn't you see it?
Yes just reread it lol old woman just woke up lol ....<3
p.s what did your latvian friend say did you do it justice :) and who knows if reincarnation really is a thing you might have lived there once :)
I think she hasn't still listened to it quite yet... she is @lindahas here on steemit absolutely adorable girl!
nods
I'm biting my nails, this is when she comes and say... Pris what are you saying I don't understand hahaha!
LOL thats when you change latvian to was speaking in tongues ;)
she told me over instagram and also another fellow latvian friend here told me they can understand me weee!
Yay :D
Ow dear @yidneth what have you done again this time that is even more fantastic that the last ones. This payout it totally how it should be because you deserve all the recognition in the world! <3
The fact that it is entirely organic and itbis the community who came together to make it trend. I have no words
Absolutely stunning performance, Priscilla – not sure I have more words than that; you've taken them with your magical voice. <3 Thank you for sharing your brilliance with all of us. I hope to see more video-edits from you. ;) xo
I started one I left pending a while back and starting to plot a welcome of Autumn. Thanks do much. I know Hector knows best and has more wizardry but it was fun and I got in my animal friends because O am sure the x factor here was Pikku the duck
Thanks Zippy, I know you handle this as a job so your compliment means tons to me ♥️🐀
How is the baby possum? Just came home and collapsed in bed, we got a bit lost in our hike lol
Absolutely stunning, this is a multimedia experience of joy on an epic level. The quality of your work is always exemplary, and you must be at the top of Steemit's quality content producers - if anyone wanted a blog post to share around the internet that says come to Steemit and enjoy amazing content - this is certainly the post.
#thealliance #witness
Wow, never expected something, anything Latvia-related from you, let alone a huge post like this with your amazing rendition of this folk song! I am Latvian myself and I thank @lindahas for showing it to you.
And, of course - thank you for making this and spreading the word about the mythical wonder that is the Latvian pagan tradition.
Awww are you Latvian? weee.... Well I love all folklore from all countries but I have a soft spot for traditional music, all across European countries. I am myself quite on the "go to the woods like an elf full time" LOL and when I joined steemit I immediately befriended Linda and we both talked about wearing garlands and the traditions of MidSummer. Then Lammas (Harvest) is all August and well been plotting this a while because it was her name day a few days ago.
So yes I have on my bucket list now a celebrating Ligo in Latvia one of these years :)
pd. expect the unexpected... see what little miracle has happened too with this post :)
Just one question, could you understand a word of what I say? I don't speak your language, so my excuses if I mispronounce it. Tried my best :)
Sorry, I forgot to mention - your Latvian pronunciation is spot on! That was one of the things that struck me most - it sounds as if this is performed by a Latvian folklore band and I love it all the more for it :)
Awww you just made my day... it was my biggest concern to mispronounce, because I have done it with utter respect. I fell in love with this song (and another one I found that I can't really make the words out so I may knock knock to you and Linda for assistance). Actually I do wear garlands and I've spend a few solstices soaking in freezing ponds and rivers, so I found sweet I was celebrating Ligo, just on my own anyway.
You are the sweetest sunflower Queen!! This is so beautiful and your harp playing is just perfecto! I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning playing with some wonderful musicians under the bright big Full Moon...... slowly made some coffee this morning, opened my Steem to this what an epic way to wake up and see your sunflower sunshine... !! Keep inspiring us! Love and Huggies....
Awww Kimmy, so this is me and my neighbouring fields and groves Summer 2018. So a bit of mybpresent self that always misses you sonmuch and long one day we can build new lovelybmemories together. Btw got lost hiking just returned from the forest under the full moon. Huuuuugggggggs. Collapsing now but catching up with you tomorrow
Beautiful, no more no less. Landscapes remind me my hometown area in Poland... and make me homesick but in a good way. Thanks for sharing!
Awww It's kind of a call a quieter life maybe... the joys of the rural life... I hope one year I can rent a van and tour Europe, countries and traditions, Northern Lights in Norway, countryside in Poland, Ligo celebrations in Latvia, it would be lovely, thanks always for stopping by and showing your support. You know yours is one my my favourite feeds all over steemit. I know I have told you before. Then I insist because I do do mean it :)
This post is of epic proportions!
Are you available to help me produce a video, if, I fly myself and guitar over to you?
Your photography and artwork are also immense!
The song speaks for itself Pris, I've been transported back to early medieval Europe, and the enchanted forest pixies that follow me into the water nymphs domain!
They are the kind of images you create in my mind with your magical sounds and visuals.
It's a real pleasure to have met you here and I treasure these amazing posts of yours.
I just have to echo what @luzcypher and everyone else has said!
A true work of art Pris!
Much love
DC
PS. How I wish I had the time and resources to produce such amazing video footage! (I fear I'm not even in your league)
Darren, I was leaving love at your last
Yes, it got lots of love, still overwhelmed, I think it was a community effort. I use no promotions so any post can range from one dollar to this lol I still need to brace to resume on normality next.
Well believe it or not this video was filmed around my house except the big lake in a hike.
I made this one, Hector helped me filming but I edited the whole thing during Summer and that is the duck I bring cookies too, and the bird on my blackberry bush. So I filmed details of Summer around me. As hector is busy (production is mine too exceot for frame drum) I selected all clips and edited it all myself with his supervision, so this one was a learning process for me. It has no fancy fx or transitions, it is not filmed with the best camera... It just had lots of tine while I learned (only took me two months lol while fields changed colours). You livevin UK close to countryside. My recommendation is film footages when you see pretty things, and aim for simple elegant videos. If I were there we would be likely dueting a celtic one on a beautiful moor. Hmmm you never know ;) you bring tea and I Spanish ommelette.
Thanks for stopping by...
Start filming, you got good looks, good music and pretty countryside. Go for it!
Thanks hun! Sending big musical hugs to you!
♥
ahh and thanks for the rat meme, from my cafeteria it did not load, saw it now ;-) wink!
Absolutely breathtaking! You are truly rad & immensely inspiring my sweet, adorable friend ❤️
Thank you for bring YOU, for bringing so much class & style 💕
I am blessed to call you my friend 💞
That has been my Summer so far, the cookie monster duck, the corn bunting in the blackberry bush, the deer encounters... So glad to share it with you all
And now 🐀
Let me tell you something, girl
I am proud of being your friend too 🌱🌱🌱
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Summer with us <3
That makes so super happy sweet, sweet soul <3
Beautiful , the music , the audio , the scenery , the photography , colors.. and PIKKU!! This was sooo pretty Pris ! loved every second of it :) .. Makes me wanna go visit and have some cookies with Pikku.. can I come over??
Much love
Pechi <3
Pikku made it to trending... Pechi... I can't even say it's my credit cos he's the true star in this... yes come over... @LLfarms is gonna bring cake and Tiramisu hahhaha
@hedac went yesterday to the pond to gift Pikku some cookies for his good work, but he wasn't there... but he's been part of my Summer and I hope we will cross paths again. Here he is forever :)
little starlet...
bit demanding on cookie payment but it was worth...
such feathers, such glistening eyes, such gliding on pond ease! :)
Ohh, Priscilla. I know now why this has taken so long and I am so enchanted with your voice, as always, but also the videography is stunning! And it's such a beautiful thing to witness how well all of your spring and summer travels have meshed together into this one great journey of the living. I love itAnd yiu are so beautiful. The sunflowers are my favorite besides the beautiful animals! And what is that little critter at 2:33?
So much admiration for you, Pris, and Hector clearly did an amazing job too!
Well done, big cheers and lots of love!
❤️-Serena
There is a beetle and then a dragonfly
Awww I told you about Pikku, and the corn bunting bird and its chick haha do I guess you recognize my fellow friends from recent conversations.
Thanks do much for the encouragement Serena, always
So next time in the fields pick some flowers for your hair, a warm sunny kiss from this side of the pond
What a wonderful song and what a great post again!
You do bring so much here and it always blows me away!
The time and effort that you put in shows!
wow wow wow and some more wow!
You rock woman
best wishes
Your snekky friend
Sneeeeeekkkyyyyyy!! Thanks so much...
Look at the little miracle that has happened...! Thanks to all the community, to all the manual curation teams like yours...
No bid bots, not even the dtube vote so far (hoping still they see me) but just the love of the whole community sent me to trending!!
I want to say thanks to you always for your kindness and your constant support and for doing what you do, precisely this, curating people and making their day
This was my rat Ritva, she's looking at you with loving starry filled eyes... ![ritva-birchbranch.jpg]
)
(
Lots of apples!
This gave me the chills. Just so good, the footage / video work is just perfect, the magical accompaniment to your pure voice. Wow!!!!! I love, love, love it!!!
Aww thanks so much, the arrangements are mostly acoustic, I actually play that Latvian instrument though I'm from Spain and I speak no Latvian. It was kind of the challenge of a fellow steemian and I made my own twist. All locations are around my area, as I've seen the fields going from green to gold this Summer and well the little critters and such... Pikku the duck, and the corn bunting on that blackberry bush, they have been the companions of my daily strolls and I wanted them to be there part of something... this season, this Summer, that has not ended yet
and well you see the little miracle that has happened... all I can say is thank you all
So hit the trending this once just because of the people (not even dtube yet)
I was undergoing a kind of you know, a big of down time... not leaving, I'm here but I only have time to post a few times a week and I try at least that those posts are worth, so you always fear to echo on silent halls... but yesterday I found myself being nominee for MAM by my fellow friends and then this...
And I need now my vp to recover to reply and do proper thanks cos I think I fried it hahaha for good!
thanks so much...
pd. playing the harp on the floor (I think I told you in your post) looks easy... but the ticks, the hard floor hahaha ... it's like the river poses hahaha LOL
Stilll that's a true part of myself, I'm actually wearing greens and carrying my harp to the woods
for no reason :) hahah just because I love to play outdoors
OH! That was delightful! My kids and I watched it twice, and I'm still humming the tune. Thank you so much for sharing this here, and for being you. The beauty you make inspires so many. Much love!
Aww thanks sweet princess.. Yes, I am no Latvian but I fell in love with the tune and in fact I'm tempted to do still another traditional one from that country I fell in love with... I just hope my pronunciation is good enough... these are all my neighbouring fields as they have shifted during Summer :) I know you appreciate the simple beauty of Nature.
This is super fantastic ,im latvian ,trully love your version. Keep it amazing always 👌👌💓💓
Aww what a compliment and you're the fourth Latvian coming to comment to the post... and all with a lovely word... It was done with utter respect for your tradition, though my pronunciation might not be perfect, was done with great love. Thanks for stopping by!
OMG! This is just stunning, this post is beautiful in so many ways, really I wasn't pending of your work outside the OpenMic but now I'll be more closer to you. I LOVE this! I feel happy after meeting this work, you give so much value to the platform, really thank you a lot Priscilla, you're showing us what Steemit should be, good vibes and blessings always.
hahhah awww thanks so much, oh my don't worry, we are making connections, not hurrying the speed of them :)
well there have been quite a few videos shared already, some a bit more ambitious than this one :) though I'm happy I edited this one entirely on my own.
I recommend you "In the Mist", "Grow" and if you want to understand my love for rats "No Matter what they say"
http://youtube.com/yidneth
But this time I premiered on blockchain... :)
And all blessings back to you
A very nice song in my opinion, produced very well, cool sound architecture, beautiful video. My daughter liked it too, what means a thing.
Congratulations and good luck.
Thank you for making music.
you amaze me with every new post! Congrats to all involved, lovely video and song
Awww thanks so much, this was just late spring and all Summer so far, all in the fields around me and some local groves, so I guess that's been my Summer so far :). Thanks so much for listening/ watching and always for your support as well as the sma community :)
this was very very beautiful!! what a gorgeous place and you fit into it so well. i loved when you touched the deer. blessings.
Awww, thanks to everyone :) I have befriended a family of deer feeding them with carrots for a year and I'm doing a videoclip with them, but this was another grove and another deer, he just came :) aww
amazing video and beautiful song! the vocals and the photography are incredible on this. I loved the shots of the swaying grass and the secluded glens, especially the 6th shot in and the special affect shot with the sunflower! and all the aminals and insects!!! just love all of it to bits :) gonna listen again!
Thank you, it's all filmed in my surroundings and I never like to miss the little bug or the little butterfly. That duck and the corn bunting bird have been my true friends this summer (cookie devourers too)... guess it's a call to pastoral quieter life nostalgia... Enjoy the rest of the Summer
the warm long days
and above all
be grateful of what you harvest
:)
In the crops... or in life
Esto es una belleza. Siempre logras transportarnos a otro mundo con tus obras. Se siente la paz, tu amor y respeto hacia la naturaleza. ¡Felicidades!
Awww gracias chicos, de corazón chicos. Me alegra que os haya transmitido eso y todos vuestros buenos deseos para vosotros de vuelta por dos.
Yidneth te has convertido en una inspiración para mi tengo mucho que agradecerte !
Awww muchísimas gracias, esta es una canción popular del norte de Europa pero en el feed y network verás también mis temas originales, muchísimas gracias de veras. Soy la primera sorprendida de ver todo el amor que está recibiendo este post de forma orgánica... Gracias, comunidad!
jejeje todavia hay seres humanos detras de el complejo hardware y software..! si escudrino tu web y feed en mis tiempos libres <3
hahah sí siempre somos más complejos de lo que muestra una pantalla, todos únicos :)
Absolutely beautiful! I am struggling to find the right words to you honey, this was a pure pleasure to listen and you look amazing as always! 💚💚💚
Thank you so much Petra, :) It was really the "right" post for me to get the encouraged in because I've been working on it for a couple of months. And thanks for the compliment as well. :) That's been my summer, my morning strolls to the pond, the duck I befriended, the corn bunting bird at the blackberry bush...
thanks!
me encanta tu trabajo, esta lleno de fantasia, se lo mostre al equipo de trabajo y lo disfrutaron, que lindo saber lo que se va construyendo por el mundo.
Muchísimas gracias, es una canción tradicional de Letonia, una celebración del verano y todas las localizaciones pues mi verano de este año a mi alrededor, me alegra mucho que te guste, no es mi idioma nativo y eso me preocupaba un poco. Gracias por ver y escuchar!
wooow Priscilla, beautiful! !!!! I'm speechless!
Thank you so much, I am very honoured you like it. Just back from foraging blackberries. Nomm
Wooooowwww @yidneth! I feel awful for missing this post, video and the whole trending thing! I watched the video just now and it's simply gorgeous. You've already been showered in compliments and I have nothing to add to them. It's breathtaking and shows your artist soul in a very true way <3
I've visited Latvia and hope you will do so too! It's a gorgeous place and clearly it inspires you :-)
Thank you so much and I am always gratefulfor the feedback both here and on youtube. Love was overwhelming. I am very encouraged. Thanks for watching it ♥️
Though I intend to write a proper thank you post, somehow I feel compelled to leave a comment on my own here as well... THANK YOU COMMUNITY, It was unexpected and it was encouraging... and yes we are surfing harsh times on Steemit yet you placed briefly in trending a humble minnow ORGANICALLY and most importantly I've been blessed with your lovely and amazing feedback. Thanks to all the curation teams for almost coordinate like a little army...
I have felt the love and I'm grateful
Steem on!
Here a pannel of selfies and phone pics while filming
.jpg)
This was incredible! The song and the music video edit. Great job! If you run out of ideas for songs, do some Lord of the Rings or Hobbit covers.....:) hehe my favorite movies.
Wow this was incredible! Loved it! :) Yeah fantasy is awesome. I grew up loving fantasy, movies like Legend, Willow, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, in my early years, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my brothers and friends. We even filmed a cheesy D&D Fantasy style feature length film, but we never finished it. Too many visual effects that needed to be done. This was back in 2002 thru 2004 haha. Then I posted the trailer on YouTube in 2010. haha it was a good experience, but wouldn't do it again like we did. We didn't have nearly enough crew, nor money, to do a movie like this. haha here it is if you want to see it.
I have some friends that also made their own attempts at fanmade movies and webseries, not one but two groups of friends, one work now for GoT costumes sometimes. I also grew with the same movies so I guess we're aroudn the same times. My favourites were The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, those were my icon fantasy movies. I actually know how to play most of those soundtracks, including Legend and others. Yes, visual effects are complex and my computer is old. I've had a few "subtle fantasy with subtle effects" like sometimes less is more, and I think some of them are elegant. I'd recommend "In the mist " at youtube.com/yidneth It's not heigh or epic fantasy but subtle. Yidneth in fact is not my artistic name but the name of my comic I make fantasy illustration as well, and that's my way to "make the movie" my albums became "illustrated projects" that serve the "story". Not this song, this is a traditional folk and actually not my native language :)
I liked the fairy! :) of course :)
Blessings!
hehehe yes! The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are awesome! I heard somewhere that Labyrinth was being remade, either as a movie or TV series. That would be so cool! haha my computer is very old too, and it gets tough to do complicated effects on it now days. Yidneth is a really cool fantasy name. :) My main fantasy name is Kain Ringthorn. haha
Yes "Yidneth" is now almost my alter-ego but it's really the name of my company and "story", the story is scattered in different formats, in both released albums (also third) in a old graphic novel here and there
Here a drawing I made in the mid nineties for that super super super old works :) hahaha but it grew (both in style and in complexity since)
By the way, it's The Dark Crystal which is getting a prequel series on Netflix :) I happen to be friend of the Frouds because we have coincided in conventions I've performed or as illustrators, they were the original designers of Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal (and Yoda) and they're back in so it's gonna be awesome :).
Wow Priscilla that image looks amazing!! :) I didn't know that about The Dark Crystal. But Labyrinth is definitely getting a new movie too. At least according to this, haha https://movieweb.com/movie/labyrinth-2019/
It's awesome video and the music is amazing, what is the language ? ☺
latvian... do you recognize certain things? i don't :(
No, but I feel the Russian soul in the music anyway, it's really nice, I'm listening for the second time. ☺
It is Latvian, I am Spanish but fellow steemian @lindahas challenged or better encouraged to record this. The instrument I play is russian is called Gusli.
By the way half of my band (former) but still friends were from russia :)
Good, I've been living in Russia for more than 8 years. My mother and wife are Russians and my son now as well.☺
So far four Latvian steemians have popped in the post :) I'm happy

This wouldn't be out of place on something like the soundtrack to an Elder Scrolls game. Absolutely wonderful stuff.
You may want to check my video "In the Mist" on youtube it's more on LOTR vibe :) You can find it here youtube.com/yidneth
I'll check it out. Coincidentally im watching Return Of The King right now :)
I used to be the nerdiest Tolkien fan ever... especially as an early teenager (way before the movies) I even was challenged by Tolkien society to spend the night in the cemetery by his grave and I have a funny story about it...I still love Lord of the Rings, more the book than the movies and Tolkien was framed like grandpa portrait in my room for years... I love fantasy, well I paint and sing and compose fantasy... and I grew up playing rolegames, cards and comics...
Fav fantasy movie is The Dark Crystal though
cos
EPIC :)
That was stunningly beautiful Yidneth.... ;9) great job!
Aww thanks so much dor the encouragement and the listening
nice one. interesting music, nice shots. I would probably like some longer scenes, but that is an preference and it's from a total hobist in filming.
I usually have the help of my partner in the edition of the music videos, in this one he still helped me film but I made the edition myself, I tried to follow the rythm of the music though I may have made a few newbie mistakes.. :) My partner has more experience than I have.
no all it's fine, just some shots are great so i would love to have more time to see them. but in other hand i know how hard is to make longer shots, how much equipment and dedication is needed to make it good.
Thanks for the feedback, guess in edition it also goes down to personal taste, though I'm sure there are many mistakes in editing I'm no professional but try my best
i love it beautiful rockstar @yidneth
or etherealstar :) :)
I would say maybe a star sounds like such a big word
but then dim stars are dim cos they are far... maybe not because they are small
thanks for making me feel bright!
Gorgeous! 😍 And I was going; AHHHH! There's Pikku! 😂He's so sweet.🦆
Amazing job all over.
He is the true starlet of the video... look, he's in and we made it to trending... I can't even say it's my credit LOL hahah because he's the star!!!

Liked and resteemed
Thanks so much. Heartily appreciated.
This is such a brilliant video! I love the song! The nature there is breathtaking! Thank you for sharing and I wish you all the very best!
I usually share videos of my original songs here but this one is a folk traditional from a country that is not my own... I am from Spain!! :) but it was kind of a challenge as I befriended a fellow Latvian steemian and fell in love with the tradition and well, tried to do my own version. Thanks for the kind wishes! :)
I'm sure that your friend loved what you've done!
Oh she finally did listen and watch it :) and I'm really happy she could understand me :) in fact I've been overwhelmed with lots of Latvian love from fellow latvian steemians

STOPYou did a fantastic job, it was really good.
Thank you so much, all locations are around me as I've been observing their shift during the Summer
Wow, Priscilla... in a word...
Transformative!
Stunningly brilliant, girlfriend!
Aww thanks so much!
This has been my Summer so far, my neighbouring fields, the critters, the birds, the little groves...And Summer hasn't ended yet... so I hope you all felt it warm and peaceful. Production is just me on all acoustic instruments and my partner on the frame drum and it was a challenge to sing in a language that it is not my own, but it was my fellow steemian @Lindahas from Latvia who introduced me to the folk music of her country, fell in love and felt like giving it a go as it was her name day a few days ago.
Thanks so much for stopping by and listening :) mean watch!
