This song just has the strangest impact on me. I want to read the book. Is he a serial killer, he does take the ribbon, he poses the body, yet he touches her so gently almost a sweetness. Has he killed before? Is this the first kill? Is he preserving her beauty. Is it another story of Eden with the serpent in there? It's good that a song makes you thing about the possible stories.
I like how a good 1/3 of his songs involve him murdering either his girlfriend, his wife or an anonymous beautiful woman. Pretty hard core, yet somehow poetically fitting. Nick Cave is bad ass.
@nikithecho It's exactly what it sounds like. It's the story of how a man killed his lover by a river where the wild roses grow [The song is from an album aptly named Murder Ballads]. It was inspired by the traditional Irish song "Down in the Willow Garden".
Not understanding the Nick haters...he is a genius! Although my criticism of the video is i wish they hadn't given away the fact he kills her so quickly in the video. One of the things i love about the song is the way it starts off like a love story...and then spirals out of control. And Kylie looks incredibly well in the video considering she's just had her head bashed in with a rock!
Holy shit, you people are morons. Nick Cave has one of the greatest voices in all of rock music, and no one else (not even Cohen or Waits) could pull this song off.
The song overall is good! Kylie does a good job, but Nick Cave's voice cant handle the song. Mark Laneghan would be an ideal duo with Kylie, with his bass voice
@XxboVodxX:I take the general consensus of wanting to hear Khan with Kylie. Chanty is too harsh and Janis Joplin-esque. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it doesn't fit the song. And Nick Cave clearly doesn't know what singing is. Great writer though.
Such a haunting yet beautiful song. When it begins, you think that it is a sensual love song... and it turns out to be of murder.
The chorus is the most haunting part. It hints that either her ghost states that people refer to her found body as the 'Wild rose,' or her ghost lingers at the place of her murder, where the wild roses grow, and when people speak of the roses they speak to or about her (at least, this is Wikipedia's explanation.)
I dunno why but probably bec. I studied it this year in college, this reminds me so much of Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning;which has a similar story about the personae who kills his beloved to preserve her beauty,...etc
@barontang That comment made me laugh out loud. For a few minutes actually. Found this song from some comment somebody left on an Apocalyptica video regarding Bittersweet. I see the comparison, but this song is..meh and that guy is super creepy.
I remember this song was one of my absolute favourites when i was younger (6 or 7yo) my parents didnt like me listening to it and i remember my mum turning the tv off when the video clip came on.. i never got why but, now i suppose it is a weird song for a 6yo to like lol
@MiKKA335 Nick is a different sort of vocalist to Kylie though, she's a Pop singer, where as Nick is a Alternative Rock singer. They're both great at what they do, I don't like Kylie but I can't say she's a shit singer.
A weird duo from 2 artists you really wouldn't expect to go together..but it's brilliant..I love this video - thank you so much for posting a version we can enjoy without that annoying green box ad!
The video is really good quality for being from 1995.
