The Jane Brooks Project - Don't Blame Me

[TheKrevez]

<33

[98abbygail]

I sung this song and Second Hand Faith at my school in front of everyone XD. It's my way of being a Plague Rat!!! ;D :P

[MissFixit1]

"You weren't as good at dancing as you evidently thought."

That made me giggle. As much as I feel like a total bitch for it, this entire song reminds me of a guy I used to be friends with xD He's a jerk now..so I think he deserves it :P

[BritneyFan4eva]

You swear you charming once, I promise you were not

[JBfanforlife]

HA! Love Emilie

[chickapac]

Yep!...don't blame me :D

[missrowanb2009]

I hate how she was brutally murdered because she was supposedly a Witch. Part of this song makes me think that it's almost she saying to her executioners not to blame her for WitchCraft, aswell as possibly a lover or husband who wanted to divorce her because of it, and this is her reply.

[OoKatieFierceRawroO]

<33 Oh, how I Love Miss Emilie

[RobinTeenTitansGO1]

YES! Thank you, Winged Zephyr! Someone spelled grey right! :D :D :D

[lps5ajessica]

@RobinTeenTitansGO1 are you saying that gray isn't the right spelling? :/

[RobinTeenTitansGO1]

@lps5ajessica Yes. Grey is how it was initially spelled in Europe but then Americans decided to put an 'a' in there instead. ^^

[SpottyBlueSheep]

When I had this on a few minutes ago, my mum asked me why I was listening to Kate Bush....wtf?

[Nachtmahrgirl13]

@SpottyBlueSheep my mum too :D

[meldeniseparfitt]

this is my favourite XD <3

[scrufflezz]

i know who to blame

these 6 dimwitted dimwits

who live...

[liddie15]

this kinda makes me wanna get up snd dance(: lol

[chibiplease]

This reminds me so much of my exbestfriend.

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

Full Statement Part 3- She was no more and no less witch than all women are, and I adopted her years ago with the intention to let her live a full life through these different scenarios. One day she's a 1940s songwriter representing oppressed women, another she's a poet contemplating prostitution, it goes on forever.

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

Full Statement Part 2-

Why am I doing this? Well, it's such a long story, but it involves this very real woman, Jane Brooks, who was alive in the 16th century and who was murdered as a witch for nothing more than giving a boy an apple from her garden.

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

Full statement Part 1-

The Jane Brooks Project is very close to my heart in a way that's difficult to describe in one interview. Yet another personality, it's more than that. The music sounds like some warped version of what came out of the forties. The songs are styled in that way, they are sung in that way, but something is wrong, and you can't tell what until you realize that they are not from the forties, they are brand new and original.

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

"The Jane Brooks Project, which she dedicated to the real-life, 16th-century Jane Brooks—a woman executed for witchcraft."

Emilie Autumn stated this in an interview back during the Enchant Era.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

My mom doesn't like much Emilie (she likes Enchant and Laced/Unlaced, but only Shallot from Opheliac because she doesn't like the way Emilie does her victorian voice) but she heard this song and thought it was amazing. We talked about how epic and passive aggressive. (well maybe not passive aggressive, but close!)

Best song evar!

[amaloli1]

what is the Jane Brooks project?

[himurakenshinfan19]

hey,that's the same cloths that she wore for "miss lucy had some leeches" and btw,can anyone tell me what the jane Brooks project is?

[LokiiTouchx]

@himurakenshinfan19 The Jane brooks project is just one of the many alter ego's she has ... its amazing the way she can rebuild herself. <3

[himurakenshinfan19]

@LokiiTouchx awesome!! what are her other ones?

[LokiiTouchx]

@himurakenshinfan19 just compare "Opheliac" and "Enchant", both are different aspects of the same person.

[himurakenshinfan19]

@LokiiTouchx okay.

[G0thkitt3n]

@himurakenshinfan19 the jane brookes project is like....emilie autumns alter-ego.

[himurakenshinfan19]

@G0thkitt3n i see.

[Black333Nightshade]

The Queen of irony covering her elder counterpart. The only true way to give the song justice.

[dbDragonfly]

Haaahaaaa the selection of picture is EPIC :D:D:D:D:D

[xshotgunweddingpatdx]

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! :D

[narutoxfunny10]

Oh how I love this song~

It's funkier than the usual Emilie Autumn and it's sure something completely else and when I feel like a funny song I listen so this x3

And I absolutely love the picture you've put into this, wingedzephyr, darling! It's kinda saying "I'm better than you, I'm a lady, tcha!" xD

[UglyCrazyWorthless]

@CirqueDuN0ir that was her story that she made up for the project :)

[saragirl33]

Does anyone know where I could find the sheet music for this song?

<3

[DronningJade]

So many people from my past I would like to sing this song to.

Just go up to them and sing " You never thought of anything original before, so why should you be startled if you can't think any more?" or "If I ruined your life, I'd be filled with pride." in their face.

Well, I can dream ;)

[RetroSimplicity]

Reminds me so much of Enchant. I kinda miss her teenage music... it was so jazzy and wonderfully sarcastic. Not like she's not sarcastic but still! Nothing grander than sarcasm accompined by a piano... although violinss are just as good. :)

[kghp925]

@RetroSimplicity

Oh moe-chan, excactly like Marry Me xD Thank God I'm Pretty too :3

[RetroSimplicity]

@kghp925 Well Mary Me and Thank God I'm pretty are harpiscord, and a lot darker than this stuff. I mean I LOVE it and all, but I really miss when it was just piano.

[HangedHourai]

Call me crazy, but Jane Brooks to me sounds like a lovesick girl who is in denial about breaking up with her boyfriend, so she locked him up in her house/killed him.

[ploppybum]

omg! i never really listened to the Jane Brooks Project stuff before, i love it!

[FantasmaLuna]

This sounds like it should be playing for a silent film!

[UglyCrazyWorthless]

@FantasmaLuna Then it wouldn't be silent :)

[xSnowWhiteQueen13x]

Im in love with this song <3

[Opheliac666]

@TheLastZombieAlive

You're not alone in that...Though in a case such as this, I kinda wish we both were...

[BritneyFanFeva]

"You swear you were charming, I promise you were not." I could quote the whole fucking thing at people who have betrayed me and screwed me over in my life. This song is so high making.

[BritneyFanFeva]

*laughs evily*...Fucking TRUE...the best revenge

[ArmyofLittleGirls1]

i love the line "the opera was always an awful bore, so don't blame me

[Phobia58]

I've had this song stuck in my head all day! Love it though. :)))

[Ibenerkul]

This song makes me dance : oo

[ImiiNotOkay25]

i looooove it! <3

[Bananaflavours]

the way she says grey is really awesome :D

[gothicdeadbride]

INDEED

[perfectionofbeauty]

i love the jane brooks project i want her to release this before i die!!

[Opheliac666]

@perfectionofbeauty

If we're lucky...

[LillaBlueberry]

Love it.

[bowiesbabe]

I hope she releases The Jane Brooks Project one day. I love all her styles.

[MusicallySilent]

Inky says it will be released if it's the last thing he ever does.

[bowiesbabe]

Yes! Hooray for our Inky. :3

[xxGothicxxKittyxx]

@bowiesbabe if you want her music from the janes brooks project i can send it to you :)

[sesshypuppysbff]

@xxGothicxxKittyxx I would love it if you sent /me/ the music from the Jane Brooks Project. I adore the music but I can't find it on iTunes...

[xxGothicxxKittyxx]

@sesshypuppysbff send me a message with your email :)

[nightwishwolf999]

'if i ruined your life i'm filled with pride' : D Ha! :P

[Mejichiro]

Is there anyone who know the last song in The Jane Brooks Projekt?

As I've heard there's four, but I only know 'Be stilent, be still', 'Gentlemen aren't nice' and this one ...

[RandomRamenNoodle]

Hmm, there is The Ballad Of Mushroom Down, so it might be that one. Not sure, though!

[SpottyBlueSheep]

@RandomRamenNoodle,

The Ballad Of Mushroom Down is from "Your Sugar Sits Untouched" :P

[RandomRamenNoodle]

@SpottyBlueSheep Oh, well at least I tried =D

[Laytons2ndApprentice]

i love this one alot! emilie is the best!!

[TryNotToSmile]

I didn't know Emilie Autumn had an alter ego. O.e Interesting.

Great song tho!

[Wrakazama]

I love this song, and all the humor and sarcasm in it!

[Luismurderonthedance]

de que disco es?

[viictoriio]

This song has not been officially released on any CD. - Lo pone en más información y significa que no ha salido oficialmente en ningún CD (:

[xxJackiieHallows]

Funny... My last name is Brooks.. Lmfao.

[SorceressZila]

Quirky. Love it!

[MiracleofaSong]

This song is the definition of OWNED.

"Your dog was never your best friend, anyway..."

[DrottningHel]

so happy and yet sarcastic, love it

[sistaspooky1013]

HAHAHA :D Great song!

[FantasmaLuna]

Sounds like it should be played at an old burlesque bar. :)

[happysasuke11]

omg i absolutely ADORE how she rolls the r in grey @ 1:08

[CorianderBrooks]

I love her outfit in the picture

And the song of course, I sing it in he shower

[Sophykinzz]

Ahh, why is Emilie so amazing?! I'm obsessing over this song now, as well as all her others (= Love her!

[rebelmaiden]

wonderful!!!

[xXStargateAtlantisXx]

This song is addictive, I can listen to this over and over and *not* get sick of it!

[almafiina]

Nice song, I love her voice!:)

[numsegum]

i'm not very good at english, what does she mean by "your dog was never your best friend anyway"? i understand the words but?

[SupernudgeB]

"Your dog doesn't like you now, nor did he like you back then." :D

[numsegum]

oh I see haha thank you :D

[sexyemofruit]

Dogs are considered to be "man's best friend", so she's saying that the dog never really was his best friend.

[prinzdeath00X]

for me thats not scarcasm just being real!

[bloodtears1821]

love it

[GloomySophie]

i love this song

Your dog was never your best friend anyway

mouahhah

<3

[Jumpinjilz]

haha, i just realised what she meant by that xD

[8UchihaDragon8]

aww, this is such a fun song x3

[SpottyBlueSheep]

are there any other Jane Brooks Project songs apart from this and be silent be still?

[utahvamp83]

Gentlemen aren't nice :)

[nikkimouse85]

I thought that was from EA 'herself'? :o

[MickeyDeeDaPimp]

well, originally it was a Jane Brooks Project song. But EA felt that the song needed to be showcased off on the EP. Hopefully there will be an Album one day of just the Jane Brooks section. However, as of now only Don't Blame Me and Be Silent Be Still are part of the JBP.

[nikkimouse85]

Yes, I hope that too. :]

thanks for the information!

[slipknot66613]

here jane brooks project songs are awesome :D they make me want to sing along all the time especially this one!

[SufferingVana]

''grey''

she said that word PERFECT

[PrincessWormGuts]

I always laugh when she says

'Your dog wasn't your best friend anyways'

xD

[XxFrightfulxX]

This is now one of my favourite songs.

[Opheliac666]

I've been singing this song for months since I got engaged...Thats bad right???

[MsMuffinVonJolie]

This reminds me of "Marry Me"..I know the tune is nothing alike, but I mean the sarcasm and humour :)

I LOVE EMILIE SHE'S MY MUFFIN!

[BlueNeko1]

This mademe laugh. I love tha fact that she must be one of the only remaining singers to still use sarcasm in her songs. She's quite good at it. I hope she finishes the Jane Brooks Project. I love this sound for her voice.

[pasiphae9]

Its probably just the fact the piano is the main instrument like in faces like mine that makes me think that, actually

[pasiphae9]

The tune slightly reminds me of faces like mine. Am I the only one who thinks that?

Shes got such a beautiful voice, I wish I could sing like her.

[semeanduke4eva]

can anybody send this song to me?

please!

I tried to find it but I can't :(

[ElixirForExistence]

Lol, "Your dog was never your best friend anyway."

[Juliija]

Haha, "grrey"

She just blows me away with EVERY song she makes. :)

[MissAutumnMuffin]

I shall start a shrine to worship thou, Emilie.

[DerangedDolly]
