Alse Young - The Grimm Generation by The Grimm Generation

It's expected that at this time of the season where the veil is thinnest and the wifi strongest that we would get ghosts in The House of Windsor. We heard from author and scholar, Beth M. Caruso with news of her book, One of Windsor (http://www.oneofwindsor.com), a narrative theory about the events leading to the hanging of Alse Young on May 26, 1647.
Being from Windsor ourselves, we took this up in song in as close to protest music as we are capable. This appropriately haunting version of Alse Young was produced by Carmen Champagne, vocals, Jason P. Krug, acoustic guitar, Lys Guillorn, mandola, Eric Bloomquist, bass and Julie Kay, cello.
On certain nights in October when the House gets quiet, you can hear the walls sing.

Its a pretty town, Its a scary one
and the sisters watch it all go down
Not really here but always near
Their blood got soaked into the ground
Their blood got soaked into the ground

These are Yankee lands found by puritans
Survivors, thinkers, hard men
Secret sharing, God fearing
They judged by the weight of their hand
They judged by the weight of their hand.

One of Windsor’s, Hung in Hartford
Charged with keeping comfort with the dark
The second town clerk confirmed ‘Alse Young Was Hanged’

History is a trick, all the things we omit
Bells toll, but we cant get away from it
Mother and child charged with the same crime
Suffer not a witch.
Suffer not a witch.

The buses whisper about the city fathers going down
Some thing never change in this town
The Old State House is a bus stop now
But there’s blood in the ground

One of Windsor’s, Hung in Hartford
Charged with keeping comfort with the dark
The second town clerk confirmed ‘Alse Young Was Hanged’
