Internationally acclaimed vocal band Windborne specializes in close harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between drastically different styles of traditional music within the same concert. Their musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures, but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions.
They have toured as cultural ambassadors with the US State Department through American Music Abroad, and their latest project is to bring together songs from four hundred years of movements for people’s rights and sing them for the struggles of today. They were catapulted to new heights in 2017 when clip of them singing a protest song from the 1840s outside Trump Tower went viral.

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

Windborne: Breathing new life into old songs Since we haven't been able to work on new arrangements much during the pandemic, we've decided to go in a different direction: fresh takes on our old repertoire, like this 1640s protest anthem, The Diggers' Song.

Understood nothing, felt everything
I follow Windborne on other platforms and when im listening to them so are the cars next to meh 😊
Beautiful harmony!❤😊
This would give me chills in 40 degree heat
I beg You - sing in classical, german latin. It sounds more accurate.
stabat mater is the suffering of the mother. it's about the agony mary felt watching her son die. whether you're a believer or not, jesus of nazareth was a person, and he had a mother who loved him. that's really what draws christians to jesus: his humanity.
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.
Mary heard this and smiled
Merci pour ce magnifique chant dans l'entre de notre magnifique Mont Saint Michel Que dieu et sa belle terre qu'est la France soit avec vous ❤
Great!!! 💫🙏
It goes well 🌟
Thank you for singing for our Lady of Sorrows, may God bless you
Can't stop playing this! 😮
Send them back, but no rooms at the inn. Every comment has housed an immigrant. Said no one. Put up shut up.
That's so beautifully done, it brought tears to my eyes. Please come back to the Freight & Salvage soon.
Breathtaking. Simple as that. Greetings from still catholic Poland
❤❤❤
Just wonderful, great to hear the voices of our ancestors…well done!
great job...
👏 👏 👏 Wow, just wow!
Reminiscent of Rough Draft by Einstein's Little Homunculus, wherein the last two lines are: "Just to show folks it's over, the last line's gotta repeat; just to show folks it's over, the last line's gotta repeat."
Seeing my late grandfather drifting away from the docks in Bayfield and slowly drifting into they sky.
Amazing, and so beautiful! Am guessing there was a bit of processing in the audio mix? A more live and impromptu feel, with or without artefacts, would also sound great I would imagine!
Anyone know if this is their arrangement? Never heard this version of Stabat Mater, tis divine 🫠
It’s a traditional setting of the text from the village of Nebbiu in Corsica, passed on by oral tradition. We learned it from Frederic Vesperini who directs the group Spartimu
Dang im just 32 and german and stupid beyond my ears. Where are the fighting age folks that get "it"? I only see seasoned vets there. Iv we dont get this our times global challanges right it will all have been in vain.
written in 1931 by activist Florence Reece, who was the wife of Sam Reece, a union organizer for the United Mine Workers. It was made popular through a Pete Seeger recording in 1967.
Just saw you In canberra and this was one of my favourite moments of the whole festival,
LOL "The Chartist Anthem", "Wich side are you on?" along with this one are my favourite songs performed by Windbourne Singers
Sending love!
Thank you for your soulful, courageous music 🌟💛🌟
@speedfolk Wär das nicht was für euch? :)
Great, but take off your cap while in a church.
I am a new fan. I have all the Noelle Sing We Clear albums your dad made, Ms. Breunig. Great big fan of John and Tony. I just finished listening to Recollections/revolutions CD borrowed from a friend who got to go to the Berkeley concert recently. I couldn't go as I no longer can drive at night. I love that you included "Few Days" from the CA gold rush and "Which side are you on?" one of the early union songs and the tune to Johnny O Braideslee with new words. It is originally pretty radical about a poacher in the king's forest. Those songs were highly political in the 18rh century-where poachers were hanged, transported to the colonies or imprisoned. Ewan Mccall recorded some ofthese songs on one of his many ballad albums. I would like the lyrics and liner notes for Recollctions/Revolutions but they are not available on the website yet.
Stunning.
Nice song. Well sung. But it’s socialist propaganda at its heart.
I assume Finest Kind had some influence?
Definitely inspired by them!!
Angelic beautiful
Is there a score for this? Its so gorgeous
This traditional Corsican music is learned by ear - no score.
This is a bigoted bunch of Jew-haters.
France daughter of the mother church
Beautiful ❤
Stabat Mater dolorosa iuxta crucem lacrimosa dum pendebat Filius = At the cross her station keeping, stood the mournful mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last
I heard them for the first time last night. I'm still gobsmacked! Amazing, soulful sound. Corsican harmonies? Who knew?
Beautiful …uplifting and emotional
Where?
The Terror Time is my favourite Ewan Maccoll song. This is a beautiful rendition. Thankyou.
I return to this masterpiece at regular intervals I've had a rough couple of weeks, and this puts my pieces back right in the soul Thank you for your performance and that you shared it with us Truly thank you
Truly levelled and digger-pilled
Fabulous. Can you post the words?
They’re in the video description!
