Compared to various bands that sing in other languages, Welsh bands don't seem to be much interested in doing " words videos" for their songs.
It's odd, considering how we're constantly being told that "they" "need" more Welsh speakers.
Whenever I get to talk with people for whom English is a foreign language, they always mention how important it was for them to learn English songs, watch English films etc.
And "words videos" are a tremendous help in doing just that.
You'd think that one of those "bodies" who want all this growth in the uptake of Welsh might see if they could encourage/finance/insist upon simple initiatives which would encourage words videos, and, maybe, it's mad I know, I'm expecting far too much, but here we go ... the inclusion of the bloody words with all Welsh-language music. I know it's a stupid idea, but hey, it could be , you know, a good move. Just saying.
Anyhow, one singer who has got a lot of words videos for her songs is Gwyneth Glyn ... and I thought it might be a good idea to collect lots of them in one place ... like, er, here .... so here we go ... I'll add more as I find them ..
Oh ... by the way ... the idea is ... you sing along with them ...and you learn the words.
First up is "Adra" ...
