Hi,
I'm swiss and impassioned by the Celtic cultures and languages too.

I have a question on (Do)minion, it's a song told by Diviciacos? He betrayed the Gauls and his brother, Dumnorix.

Thanks

Edit: My girlfriend offered the album to me today. I saw the DVDbonus with the explanations on (do)minion. Nice

I liked you're point of view on the Bagaudae (Bagaudas in Gaulish), the Gallic armies of the end of LaTène are mainly made up of warrior-peasants. In the De Bello Gallico, Caesar wrote that the Britons returned their warriors to the fields after the truce and that Uercingetorix recruted several exiled and outlaws to compose his army.

hey there


yes, (do)minion is about Diviciacus.
It's written out of "his" point of view.

When I wrote the lyrics, I tried to "put myself into his place" and imagine, how he felt, what he thought, what his motives could have been, ect.
And in the end... I could imagine, that he was quite a disjointed/shattered personality. At least, the situation he was in (and probably he brought himself into... at least partly), was everything but an easy situation.


Cheers
Chrigel
