I was unaware of Karen till I saw an article in a paper today.Synchronicity struck when bands Mazzy Star&(pre-Mazzy)Opal were named among her fave artists(+Hank Williams,Fairport Convention,Vashti Bunyon).Because in the past mo.I've become(belatedly)completely enamoured of '90s band Mazzy Star&their fine singer Hope Sandoval,now my fave singer ever&I only just discovered her!

@Raquelin0 Sorry if that offended you anyway. I just have a hard time believing someone goes to a show to listen to song about some twisted dude who seduced a girl and stabbed her to death under the moonlight. The world is already sick without this stuff. That's just my opinion anyway.
@Raquelin0 I apologize if that offended you but I think the world is already sick enough without songs about a twisted dude who stabbed an innocent girl to death under the moonlight. That's a terrible stuff! It could be the same music and stuff with a happy end for a change. I can understand that as an expression of pain but it does not change the fact that it is a damn sad song. Maybe sh**ty was a bad way to put it, but it is my humble opinion.
@Theunderdogma It's a metaphore. It isn't meant to be taken as a literal story. It's of her life. It's why the album is titled the ghost who walks. It's about her.
@tycer18 I appreciated your explanation. I can understand some metaphore, but I still find it depressive. I guess 70's was awesomwe, 80's and 90's kind of...2000 and after...I feel sorry for my generation, standing between depressive, techno or totally obvious pop. I understand the world is different, but hey "Smoke on the water" is one example - among thousands - that old bands could get a bad situation and do something fantastic. Today, 90% of the lyrics rhyme with "itch", and it sells.
@Theunderdogma Yeah I agree with some of that. For instance how you say lots of stuff today is straight pop or straight techno, but there are still some good bands/musicians out there. They're just hard to find. Plus theres always been this, "10 years of good music, stagnation, then more good music". Great music mid to late 60's all over the place, 70's were good, but it was just a select few if you think about how long ten years is. In general, there will be great music again in large
@erikforburger1 I once heard the voice of one of my favorite musicians described as "pleasantly bland", and the phrase really struck me. I think she sort of has the same thing going on; her voice isn't distractingly unique and therefore allows the song to come through. Since this is a good song, that is a good thing. And yes, she is gorgeous.
I think either Jack or Karen would make amazing characters in a Tim Burton movie. Maybe even make me want see one again after the disappointment of Alice in Wonderland
I love you Karen! Always were My fav. supermodel and Im super picky as a model too, but now you truly have won my dark lil heart as I am a Gothic chick too. Us redheads must stick together, lol xoxo
@avsbmn7 True man! I guess everyone has the right to express themselves. I just have a hard time thinking that people leave their houses, buy a ticket and go to a show to watch something so down, it is kind of funny they do, though.
@Undercolorofficial no not exactly beacuse well the bass player is in a dress and well the drummers Marek fellis so yah no its Olivia Jean on bass (im not trying to be rude)
It's alright.... i expected much more from the hype given. The jazz organ is too much, and if it was true alt country. I'd be at my knees. Too sexy, not dark enough.
Karen Elson is definitely my favorite supermodel...and to know how amazing she is as a musician just makes her that much more amazing. Props to Jack White for helping this come out of her!!!! Absolutely stunning.
I'm hooked, I can't wait to see her grow more as a musician, still feels a wee bit contrived in someways. But what isn't? I also love the thought of dark country. Great feeling over all.
this is oodles better than the album version...she's so good live!!! <3
