"Where the Wild rosesGrow" is an alternative-rock song written by Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' ninth album Murder Ballads (1996), and features guest vocals by Australian pop-singer Kylie Minogue.
Minogue, as Elisa Day, is admired, then murdered by Nick Cave's character. The chorus of the song suggests she's come to be known as the "Wild Rose" rather than as Elisa Day by people who recall her murder (e.g., "Why they call me that, I do not know; for my name was Elisa Day"). Cave's character is entranced by Elisa's beauty and hates the idea of its fading, so he kills her in order to preserve the memory of her beauty forever. He visits her home, and becomes obsessed with her. The next day, he brings her a beautiful red rose, then asks her if she'd like to see where such beauty could come from. On the final day, he takes Elisa to the river, where he gives her a farewell kiss, then kills her with a rock. He then places her in the river where the wild roses grow, in the pose of Millais' painting Ophelia. He puts a rose in her mouth, and closes her eyes.
