WHEN I'M GONE
Phil Ochs, arr. Windborne
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
You won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
I won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
I won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
The evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
The sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
Can't add my name into the fight when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
You won't find me singing on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

Definitely a unique take on what is one of my favorite songs. You all managed to hit the emotional threads as well as Ochs did while bringing your own voices and style as a group to the fore. All said, a powerful and well sung performance which I will be continuing to share with others. Thank you as always for another solid performance.

That's so beautifully done, it brought tears to my eyes. Please come back to the Freight & Salvage soon.

One of my Windborne (and Ochs) favorites and I can't wait to see you at the Parlor Room on May 14th.

Bravo, Winbourne! Beautifully sung and arranged, but more importantly, the video captures the simplicity and power of the connections that make the song, and life itself, so moving and meaningful. Love to you all!

Seeing the connection you maintain with each other while amidst all the recording stuff this is beautiful and *the* reason you four sing so well together. 💚

I just LOVE your harmonies ... the writing and singing. I actually like this better than Ochs' original (which is high praise).

[@nicolemaunsell8179]

The harmonies! ❤️

[@metermorphose]

Love that syncopations! The bass is so brilliantly effective, your clear voices melt and sometimes rub and all the harmoni(es) are so present. I was, I am deeply touched and moved! What a gorgeous quartet you are ❤.
Love from Germany.
