I Never Thought My Love Would Leave Me—Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and The Cairo Gang

Please support my Kickstarter campaign for the The Royal Dutch Tour Documentary, an 84-minute film on Bonnie Prince Billy and The Cairo Gang's week-long tour in the Netherlands which happened in September 2014. The film touches both cultural/geographical aspects of the Netherlands, and also the musical side of the tour.
It's a fusion film, which features an episode for each town visited during the tour, with an interview with one local and one song from the concert that was played in that town.

Please donate and help spread the news.

Born, torn from unity, we spend our lives alone, all connections fleeting, an illusionary distraction, merely to die in our own arms only.

I wish my father had never whistled
I wish my mother had never sung
I wish the cradle had never rocked me
I wish I'd died, love, when I was young

Well if that isn't one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.

Great job!! I watched the film at Doc'N Roll film festival in London a while back. Really enjoyed it! I hope you're keeping well!

I’m still amazed how Will was able to suddenly transition from a creaky, cracky, everyman voice to something so warm, comforting and controlled. It’s like as soon as he dropped the “Palace” moniker, he somehow figured out how to play to the strengths of his voice and make it work perfectly for him.

[karlsmith]

I've been listening to this nonstop lately, so good!

[goodboyconformist]

This is as I would always love my bonnie to be.

[dylanlucius]

I can tell he's very tuned in to the songs he's singing, serious, focused.

[crismlo]

The images on this video are outstanding. Nice production! Nice photography. All very romantic.

[skinworm]

As a songwriter that touches the soul, he can't be beat.

[Admidd]

Looks more like Amsterdam and the Waterlands than Cairo. Nice song though.

[daskleinegluck]

Perfect song for the voice - perfect voice for the song.

I never thought that my love would leave me
Until that morning when he came in
He sat down and I sat beside him
'Twas then our troubles they did begin

…

Oh love is pleasing and love is teasing
And love is a pleasure when first it's new
But love grows older and grows quite colder
And fades away like the morning dew

…

There is a tavern in yon town
And there my love goes and he sits down
He takes a dark girl on his knee
And tells her what he once told me

…

There is a blackbird sits on yon tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
Some say he's blind and cannot see
And so is my false love to me

…

I wish my father had never whistled
I wish my mother had never sung
I wish the cradle had never rocked me
I wish I'd died, love, when I was young
