#koh edit

months later, i finally finished this—i was editing angeleyes by abba at the same time but that one isnt done yet. I wanted to add animated doodles of a sword, a quill, a crown of thorns on his head etc, but it was too much work 😅

Look at this edit I made!!

will upload it on YouTube bc TikTok age restricted it 🙄

this version is by Elthin, and it is my favorite cover of the song. The lyrics are in Middle French, which is after Baldwin’s era, and I left them like that in the captions, but I have previously translated/transcribed them into older Ancien Français for a scene for one of my books, where he is singing it. I sometimes take this kind of creative liberty with some anachronisms. I don’t think it’s such a big deal with a song like this.

“The poem was composed following the fall of Jerusalem in October 1187 (see lines 37-39) to the forces of Saladin (see line 52) and while conflict (30-32) and fighting (43) between the kings (32) of England and France (who had taken the cross in the period late September 1187 to January 1188) were delaying their departure for the Holy Land.” - rialto.unina.it

I was 6 🤗 I remember the big ahh posters at the shopping center. One hanging outside on the building wall, of Baldwin in his battle mask all silvery with the beautiful typography of the title—what I remember is it being half of his mask, but it might have been his entire “face”, I can’t recall w total certainty; I was very little and had just moved from Africa to the Mainland so I was shook and displaced and my lil mind wasn’t right 😂😭 but the marketing was cool here in Spain because of the filming in Sevilla 💕

beautiful boy indeed ⚜️✨💛
