Yellow Brit Road, 27 June 2021: Tributes, 90s History, Great Music

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we paid tribute to Datblygu frontman and Welsh music pioneer David R Edwards. Datblygu's first three albums, Wyau, Pyst and Libertino are must-listens. Dave did some English-language work under the name Dave Datblygu that you can find here. Continuing our exploration of queer music history, we explored the 1990s this week.

In case anyone wanted it, here are the lyrics to Datblygu's song Y Teimlad, along with an English translation. Y teimlad sy'n hala pobol i anghofio amser Y teimlad sy'n haloch chi i feddwl nad yw'r dyfodol mor fler Y teimlad sydd yn dod a cyn sbarduno gobaith Ti'n gweld y tywod llwch ond ti'n gweld fod yno flodau Y teimlad, beth yw'r teimlad? Y teimlad sydd heb esboniad Y teimlad, beth yw'r teimlad? Y teimlad sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad Cariad, cariad, y teimlad Mae hapusrwydd yn codi ac yn troi yn wir rhywbryd Ac mae'n dangos fod yno rhywbeth mewn hyd yn oed dim byd A pan mae'r teimlad yno mae bywyd yn werth parhau Ond yn ei absenoldeb mae'r diweddglo yn agosau Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad? Y teimlad, sydd heb esboniad? Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad? Y teimlad, sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad ---- The feeling that makes people forget time The feeling that makes you think the future isn't so bad The feeling that comes before sparking off hope You see the sand dust but you see that there's flowers The feeling, what is the feeling? The feeling that's inexplicable The feeling, what is the feeling? The feeling that is called love Love, love, the feeling Happiness rises and turns true sometimes And it shows that there's something even in nothing And when the feeling is there, life is worth continuing But in its absence the end approaches The feeling, what is the feeling? 
The feeling, which is inexplicable? The feeling, what is the feeling? 
The feeling that is called love R.I.P. Dave Datblygu
