7. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Where The Wild Roses Grow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Wild_Roses_Grow

„Where the Wild Roses Grow“ is a duet by Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and pop singer Kylie Minogue. It is the fifth song and lead single from the band’s ninth studio album, Murder Ballads (1996), released on Mute Records. Written by the band’s frontman Nick Cave and produced by Tony Cohen and Victor Van Vugt.
The song received a positive reception from music critics and became the band’s most successful single worldwide reaching No. 3 in Norway, the top five in Australia, and the top twenty in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and New Zealand. It also received a limited promotional release in the United States. The song was certified Gold in Germany in 1996 for 250,000 copies sold,[1] despite never reaching the top ten in that country. It charted again at the bottom of the German Top 100 in 2008 because of digital downloads after it was used in a soap opera. „Where the Wild Roses Grow“ was also certified Gold in Australia for selling 50,000 copies.[2]
Cave was inspired to write „Where the Wild Roses Grow“ after listening to the traditional song, „Down in the Willow Garden“,[citation needed] a tale of a man courting a woman and killing her while they are out together. Cave arranged this tale as second of two B-sides, „The Ballad of Robert Moore & Betty Coltrane“ / „The Willow Garden“, released on the CD-Maxi single version.
Although the song does not feature on a Minogue studio album, it can be found on her compilations Hits+, Greatest Hits 1987-1999, Ultimate Kylie and The Abbey Road Sessions. Minogue performed a chorus of the song during her Showgirl and Homecoming tours.

NesDu hältst das für Jazz?:lol:

Wieso? Hat doch nichts mit Jazz zu tun. War nur ein bischen müde.:-)

sparchNaja, Kylie war zumindest in diesem Fall dann doch die bessere Wahl.

Sicher? Icvh hab das immer gerne live mit Blixa gesehen und gehört. Eines meiner Faves.

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.
