John Jacob Niles singing Go 'Way From My Window Go away from my window Go away from my door Go away way from my bedside And bother me no more And bother me no more I'll go tell all of my brothers I'll go tell my shipmates too The reason that my heart is broke Is on account of you Is on account of you I'll give you back your letter I'll give you back you ring And I won't forget my own true love As long as song birds sing As long as song birds sing Go away from my window Go away from my door Go away way from my bedside And bother me no more And bother me no more I'll tell all of my brothers I'll tell my shipmates too The reason that my heart is broke Is on account of you Is on account of you. + Informações

John Jacob Niles - The Maid Freed From The Gallows - I decided to do a video for this song as I noticed there's no video for it anywhere. The concept it's unconventional and is pretty much trying to approach the idea of the song, on what kind of thoughts can go thru someone's mind if they somehow know they will die or they're soon be executed, I've mixed several footage from the 1920's and some footage from sea storms and tornados, stuff like that. The video was edited using several layers so there's a lot of experimenting with transparency on it, I don't think the final result was perfect but I am ok with it and I hope you enjoy it - about the song, personally this is my favorite version of it, I love John Jacob Niles vocals and songs and there's just one glimpse of him during the video as I didn't found any other footage from him. If you own some of this footage please let me know. Thank you.

Folksinger and musicologist, John Jacob Niles claimed to have composed this song when he was 16 years old, but did not perform it until 1930. It has been recorded by many singers, including Harry Belafonte, Marlene Dietrich and Linda Ronstadt. Niles was one of the many influences on Bob Dylan, as can be seen in this extract from Chronicles: "I listened a lot to a John Jacob Niles record, too. Niles was nontraditional, but he sang traditional songs. A Mephistophelean character out of Carolina, he hammered away at some harplike instrument and sang in a bone chilling soprano voice. Niles was eerie and illogical, terrifically intense and gave you goosebumps. Definitely a switched-on character, almost like a sorcerer. Niles was otherworldly and his voice raged with strange incantations. I listened to 'Maid Freed from the Gallows' and 'Go Away From My Window' plenty of times." Dylan refers to this song in the first line of his song, "It Ain't Me, Babe". I try to sing it here something like the way Niles did it. Some people will find it a bit too weird!. + Informações
