O Willow Waly (The Innocents) ~ Ashley Serena
Музыка
I received a lovely email back in February requesting I make a cover of this enchanting song from the 1961 classic "The Innocents". Off I went to borrow it from the local library and instantly fell in love. This is a story I've seen on stage ("The Turn of the Screw") and it translates beautifully on-screen.
Mind you, I had every intention of making this feel really scary for Halloween - as it's quite spooky in the film - but the more I sang it, the sadder I felt. Even though the story is chilling, it's also steeped in incredible tragedy. ♥ Happy Halloween, friends!

The gardener said the words she'd heard those years ago, she willed it with everything she had. You, me, us. Us. "Take me with you," she cried in her heart. "Take me, drag me down like you did the other," but the lady in the lake was different now, the lady in the lake was also Dani, and Dani wouldn't, Dani would never. In fact, no one would ever be taken again, and no one has been taken to this day. For the rest of her days, the gardener would gaze into reflections, hoping to see her face. Her own lady in the lake. She'd leave her door open at night, just a crack, should she ever come back. Waiting for her lover to return. This is an amazing song for the haunting of Bly Manor, and it's a great song anyone else think's so.

This song sounds like the beginning of a Witcher quest. "A Tree within the forest kills anything that goes near it. The Witcher hears a tale, of how two lovers lay beneath the tree until they both fall silent. So going into the woods the Witcher finds the tree, but entangled within its roots is a lone Maiden. But no lover. Geralt deduced that the man ran away, heart broken the spirit inhabits the tree, looking for the lover."

I'm happy more are going to uncover both this brilliant song (the cover here and the original), as well as may prompt more to check out the 1961 The Innocents film (which is where this song is from, which was a film adaption of The Turn of the Screw, the same book that The Haunting of Bly Manor is loosely adapting). The theme was very important to the film, and I'm delighted that Bly Manor seems to be retaining the melody in their own adaption.

Okay, when I first heard the song from the Bly Manor teaser, it sounds so eerie, so ghostly. But when I read the lyrics, suddenly it so different now. *_"It's not a ghost story. It's a love story."_* Indeed.
Just found out yesterday that a friend passed away a few days ago and I come to this. My heart is aching now. This song is the perfect manifestation of what I feel in my heart right now.

Even if it's originally sang for halloween.. I find it more... sad rather than scary, everytime I hear the notes it's just the feeling of sadness, loneliness and deep thinking stage that reaches me again and again. I found the song today, and I'm really happy for it :D
Here i am in 2024 about to watch Bly for the third time in its entirety, I cant explain , this show did made me feel so many emotions, not to big to admit i cried like a baby to some parts, i think when youve experienced love & indeed loss though that is to be expected.
The song is really beautiful, it both relieves and emotional.
"to truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them."
Hi, I'm a softie and now I'm crying because of how beautifully you sing. Thank you 🖤

When I hit the play button I did not imagine that I'd now sit here, sunken in memories, tears running down, and with a mixture of loneliness and pain in my heart, but a splinter of hope as well. Besides, your voice is absolutely incredible. Thank you.
Here we appreciate that Ashley Serena found and beautifully covered this song YEARS before some Netflix made TV series adaptation of 1961 "The Innocents".
Perfectly splendid song
Very pretty and haunting
Shatteringly sweet and heartbreaking altogether . How else I can describe this beautiful voice and music. Certain things like death, love, beautiful things coming to an end never be explained by plain words. Words cannot express the tragedy of life.
I love hauntingly beautiful songs like this, especially during fall
Perfect splendid 😊
“She would wake. She would walk. She would sleep.”
I think this song brings back so many memories for me, and I weep when the music plays with your sweet voice. This song made me think of my grandparents who has been death for 4 years counting 2018, so if you count this year five years. Bitter sweet memories is all I take to heart when I hear this song. Good work and blessings for your future in cover songs and singing.
I cannot imagine what kind of person one has become to dislike such a song...
