Cymraeg yw iaeth yr ysgol hon
I was listening to 'Yr Atal Genhedlaeth' today for the first time in yonks. Yeh, it's still pretty good. Forget Stereophonics, MSP - SFA and Gorky's are, for me, the only succesful Welsh bands who both sound good and undeniably Welsh. Not just in accent; but in the very roots of their music. You listen to Gruff Rhys, and you get the feeling that he has been to Llangranog.
Anyway, the album is also in Welsh. I don't get to hear or speak much Welsh anymore - it's more like some coherent dream.
There's no doubting though that Welsh sounds great in songs. Welsh is so much fun - so camp.
In any language, there are words that make you smile just by saying or hearing them. I would like to collect all of them, Pokemon style. I'm gonna start with some Welsh ones - feel free to add to the list.
I'm gonna cheat and use some phrases too.
