- Chelsea Wolfe sticks to her guns with her reverberated, hazy, and distant cover of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 1994 song "I Let Love In." But while the recording style and aesthetic is very much Wolfe's, the melody sticks with Cave's original, creating a compelling listen.

*THE IDEA OF HER AND NICK CAVE SINGING THIS TOGETHER :')*
Needs to happen!
She always sounds like I was sitting alone in a prison cell in a wasteland and someone plays wonderful music somewhere outside half a mile away. Gives me the creeps, in a very good way.
Desolate and distant fragments of something originally beautiful, but the beauty is left completely to my imagination.
An asylum Murphy ranch asylum we don’t Leave but choose to stay here!!
I'm so happy that this exists
Lyrics:
Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in
Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door
and the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned
I let love in
The best part about this cover is that it doesn't just ape the original, it takes that inspiration in a different direction. It would be a mistake to attempt to one-up Nick Cave, and she doesn't. She takes the spirit of the song and retells it in her own voice. Bravo.
100% spot on!
True .She doesnt just try to do Nick.
Absolutely. Imitation is the weakest form of flattery but homage is powerful praise. When blueunicorn does a cover blueunicorn makes it blueunicorn's own. The playlist is still labeled "imitation is the weakest form of flattery" though. I doo goofy stuff though.
There's no one in this universe who can get close to what Chelsea Wolfe does, she's a genius, she's beyond my reach and I love her for that.
I wish I could see her play this live
Her voice doesn't need to be 'clean' in the mix to sound really phenomenal
I love it don't get me wrong but i like it when her voice sounds cleaner, less distorted and with less after effects. I love hearing her voice.
CW introduced me to NC when she did this cover. I still love it and have grown to love NC too.
I could get behind Chelsea Wolfe & the Bad Seeds.
Profound cover. I like her vocal melody more than Nick's in original.
punches me in the gut everytime. I don’t know what it is about this song. It’s an over reverberated mess of a thing that defies much reason. Its the opposite of a clear production, but its not lo-fi. Its messy, but I think the landscape and vision read really clearly.
I think it’s successful at being transformative while respectfully building on Cave’s idea.
Here on the wiser side of a decade later, i still think it’s brilliant.
...I love this woman
Please release a compilation of all these covers
What a great job.
i let LOOOOOOVVVVVVE in! So good!

I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door

Bella
OK Nick and his crew have done some covers that transcend the original...just as Chelsea Wolfe does here...
This is such a gorgeous cover, of a great NCATBS song!
y cant you buy any of these amazing covers she does ?!
oh man,I feel your pain.
anyone know if this is officially distributed? I'd love to buy a copy. no luck finding it anywhere but here on UA-cam
thanks!
CHELSEA IS SO PERFECT
... *subscribed* Wow.
This is zillion times cooler than Nick Cave. Bravo!
I love you.
Has the fan-made music video been taken down? 😢
I LOVE THE VAMPIRE VERSION VIDEO of her singing this song. I watched it every day and suddenly its gone. Please let it be on the Tube again o great U Tube god !!!
Am I the only one who can see this song on a quintin tarantino movie?
Feels like I’m on a bomb one
banda brittanica deveria fazer um cover dessa música
just a one little memento from u
cool
Kind of foggy sounding. I want to fuddle with the radio dials to get it to come in clearer.
Janice Sunseri, I think that “lo-fi” effect was purposeful. CW is usually heavy on the fuzz and reverb, and I think it gives it an oddly timeless nostalgic flavor tbh.
But I would definitely love to hear a clearer live version. Still a 10/10 in my book.
stylistic choice. heavy reverb and a filter (hi pass) EQ.
too gangster
In this picture Chelsea looks a lot like Cave's wife.
Chelsea Wolfe-Cave
She wishes I'm sure
and alice coopers sister
Remenbering Nico
!!!!!!!!
I thank G-d for You
this sounds like the roadburn festival all mixed up in a blender
cave's version still best
On record perhaps. But since Blixa and Mick left that song's genius will never be repeated.
Deeply sad
too saturated for me to enjoy it, 2 bad, love Chelsea
Love sucks it's all a lie to me... self love is true to me
Muito ducaralho. Kkk
Nick Cave WHO??
Blasphemy! :D
How dare you?
sry, no
Horrible!
La bande son ???
Horribly good
