The folklore that lasts is always the kind where the monster was made, not born. You can feel the weight of every stanza before the lake. That's what makes the ending land the way it does.
Her taking him by the hair..? After all the horror, that one grip had centuries of rage in it. I hate how fairytale-simple it is, just hand, hair, water, done.
The choice to begin with her humanity changes the entire reading of the poem. She enters the story as a mother and a widow long before she becomes something feared. That makes the tragedy feel personal rather than mythical.
By the end, the haunting felt less connected to magic and more connected to grief. The supernatural elements may drive the story, but loss is what gives it its weight.
Ohhh. This ballad is one of your most atmospheric songs I'd say, I love it.
Thank you so much, Kasu!! ❤️
i need it on spotifyy❤️🔥
I should figure out how to put it on there!!
Beautiful ballad. It had a hint of Viking vibes with the drums.
Thank you!!
Fuck. You never cease to blow my mind! Your talent is so beautiful to witness.
🥺🤗 Thank you, that really means a lot!!!
I'm glad I checked this one out. It's sad how there are so many stories about "monstrous" women who were victims. Love the song!
It is very sad. But I'm glad to at least give them a voice! ❤️
As a mother this breaks my heart. 😭 Not the children!
Also very well done! 10/10.
Thank you! ❤️
I adored this, please please look up Daughters of Donbas, they have a beautiful interpretation of Rusalka!

Phenomenal. Wave upon wave of full-body, spine-tingling goosebumps with every listen. Thank you.

It makes me dizzy. Again, thank you.

Thank you. I have several more of them if you are interested!

An old way of justice. One should not disturb the Powers lightly.
Precisely.
