GreenWood - Elegia o Latach Minionych

The choice of host entry was a very deliberate one.
This entry had a personal meaning to me. It often played at my old workplace, to the point it'll always remind me of it. It was a job I loved, but left some time ago, a decision I'd come to regret later, after my plans failed. The song's title aptly means "Elegy of the Years Gone By". For a long time I couldn't bear to listen to it, as it brought back the memories and the feeling of regret. Today, as my life moves on, and I have a positive outlook on future, I can finally listen to it and cherish the memories of the years gone by.

Luna Santa - Bruja

After a strenuous hosting, we brought witches to heal our souls and ease our minds. Bruja is a song of magic of the Earth, and its sound is strong with feminine spirit.

Versengold - Hoch die Kruge

We'd sometimes bring all the tropes most commonly associated with Rumia in one entry. Cheerful folk, an old tavern, guitar, beer and fiddle, catchy chorus and German language.

Gareth Coker - Ori, Lost in the Storm

As we were invited to Vylkuzeme to unravel the secrets of the forest, Ori got lost in it. Don't worry, we found him! The short track presented in the Vylkuzeme woods is an intro to an enchanting soundtrack to a game with equally enchanting visuals.

Borislav Slavov - Weeping Dawn

We're staying in the videogame territory. Weeping Dawn is a bard's song from the upcoming sequel to an old classic, performed in-game by a tiefling bard named Alfira (who apparently has the power to summon an invisible orchestra in the wild) as a eulogy for her late teacher. Borislav Slavov joined Larian Studios after their previous composer, Kirill Pokrovsky, passed away in 2015. Kirill, whose music Borislav was also a fan of, represented Rumia on home turf in NSC 123. Therefore, we dedicate this entry to memory of Kirill Pokrovsky.

Skáld - Jólanótt

Our penultimate entry of the 2nd century is fitting both for the time of the year and time in NSC. It's about Yule - old Germanic festival (as well as important holiday to modern neopagans) set around the winter solstice. In the middle of the longest night of the year, we're bracing the cold, awaiting the Sun to reappear again. We're hopeful for the new year to be good, just as we are hopeful for the new century in NSC.

For me it happened the first time... when I tried to send an entry but it was already sent by someone else to the same edition. Not just artist but the same song! This song. xlove

I had Fluga on my to-send list for a long time. Then I saw they had a new song and I instantly decided to go for it. I was actually wondering if you'd try to send it too. I remember you sent them some time ago (with a good result).

Astrid S - Når Snøen Smelter

We continue the theme of finding light in winter darkness. The song comes from a Griffin film adaptation of the classic Cinderella tale. It's about finding home that's not a place. NSC is one such home and with this message we'd like to conclude the 2nd century.

Still looking for an entry to start new century with. In the meanwhile, looking back at the 190s. Were there any entries of ::rum that you remembered in particular and would be a fitting Congrats entry? Feel free to comment! I will not listen to y'all anyway.
