Camille O'Sullivan - Mercy Seat (Nick Cave)

[stfugtfofgt]

holy fuck! my favourite Cave song and I love her even more!

[AlcuinHimself]

She is awesome, magnificent, obviously not BETTER than Nick Cave's original but as good, definitely as good.

[ravynkat]

she does him justice. i love it!

Nick Cave does better renditions. But I must admit, she is amazing, very emotive.

[BlahGrumpy]

This woman is a goddess. I've never heard anyone do Nick Cave renditions better than her.

[boingophile]

Aside from Nick Cave himself, that is... Right?

[BlahGrumpy]

Dude, that's a given. ;) I should have been more specific, I suppose. No one COVERS Nick Cave songs better than her.

Personally, I've always felt that the Nick Cave (studio) version of 'The Mercy Seat' has so much going on musically that it's impossible to fully make out, and appreciate the lyrics.

I never fully 'got it' until I heard Johnny Cash's cover version, which is also worth hearing.

Anyway, on the general theme of Camille being fabulous, I thoroughly agree. Her interpretation of Cave's 'The Ship Song' is sensational.

@AbieLaughs Its a bit of a late reply but you should if you haven't already, watch nick's performance, (possibly in Dublin) of it recently. much slower, rawer. Fantastic song Anyway its served up though :P
