8. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – The Mercy Seat [Acoustic Version]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mercy_Seat_(song)
„The Mercy Seat“ is a song written by Nick Cave (lyrics and music) and Mick Harvey (music), originally performed by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on the 1988 album Tender Prey. The song has been covered by others, including Johnny Cash and Camille O’Sullivan. Rolling Stone editor Toby Creswell lists it as one of the 1001 greatest songs.[1]
On the original album version, Cave’s vocals are delivered over a thick backing of guitars, organ, and strings. As Ronald Boer notes, much of the text is in fact nearly inaudible.[2] An acoustic version was also released as part of a bonus CD for the album The Good Son entitled Acoustic Versions from Tender Prey. This version was later reissued to appear on both the Stripped EP and B-Sides & Rarities. The song is a live standard of Cave’s, and has been performed at almost every concert since 1988; an acoustic live version, performed in the United States in 1989, appears in the documentary The Road to God Knows Where.[4] A much louder version appears as the opening track of the 1993 album Live Seeds.
