I used to do a live acoustic cover of this using an old classical guitar with super high tension strings and the whole thing dropped to C standard tuning. The bass and brassy top notes rattle out. Good to hear the original again.

We must not look at goblin men,

We must not buy their fruits:

Who knows upon what soil they fed

Their hungry thirsty roots?

(Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market)

Yes, dark can be fun when you’re all snuggled up and warm and all you love are safe.

Edit:
I do wonder about those “invisible gifts” the dwarves spent all year toiling at for the children of the world. A child is defenceless and needs all the help he or she can get, so I like to imagine it’s worth all the toil. I shudder to think what heinous crime Nicholas is being punished for.

Does anyone know how to make the sound that rises and falls in pitch you can hear in this video from about t=2493 ? Man oh man, in a large room with some powerful speakers that must ‘feel’ great!

This one is very dark and very funny. The poem is translated (as good as possible) to english in the 2nd link.
