This song is from Nick Caves album "Murder Ballads". Its actually a conversation between the victim and her murderer. Interestingly, that what a massive hit in Europe in the 90ties. Nick Cave is Australian just like Kylie..I especially love his "Weeping Song" with him and Blixa Bargeld, his German guitarist, on vocals..
Kylie was a muse for so many Australian musicians, not only nick cave but her one time boyfriend Michael Hutchence (RIP) lead singer of Australian band INXS. Michael wrote a hit song about Kylie called “suicide blonde” supposedly about the name of Kylie’s hair dye 😊 Also Kylie is a true ICON and a cancer survivor who is considered Australian royalty This song was nominated for an award by MTV but Nick cave does not make music for awards etc he is a true musician.. there is a clip on YT of Nick Cave reading out a letter he wrote MTV, if you get a chance to watch it, I recommend you do as it is fantastic. There is also a clip of Kylie reading what Nick wrote
This was no accident or someone coming to their senses. This song is about a serial killer who kills beautiful women and then leaves them with a red rose between their teeth, told from the point of view of one of his victims; hence, “And I kissed her goodbye / said, ‘All beauty must die’ / and I leant down and planted a rose ’tween her teeth”. The whole album is called _Murder Ballads_ which should also tell you something about the context.
This song was based on an old Irish folklore tale. A woman named Eliza Day was found murdered floating in a creek, with a red rose laid between her lips.
im a gay man who has always wondered how intoxicating she must be to straight men, I mean she's done some really really sexy stuff, but, I want to be her in those moments, its no wonder she's his muse
SOMEBODY get these boys into learning about Nick Cave!!! "then it seems he came to his senses" did we listen to the same lyrics? No but it feels like a crime that they don't know about Nick Cave. Not just Murder Ballads and Let Love in but not even knowing him, his voice the dark, the beauty. Give them lots of lists and info.
Ophelia is an 1851-52 painting by British artist Sir John Everett Millais in the collection of Tate Britain, London. It depicts Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river. The work encountered a mixed response when first exhibited at the Royal Academy, but has since come to be admired as one of the most important works of the mid-nineteenth century for its beauty, its accurate depiction of a natural landscape, and its influence on artists from John William Waterhouse and Salvador Dalí to Peter Blake, Ed Ruscha and Friedrich Heyser.
Whatever you do, GO SEE NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS LIVE. Promise you, you won't regret it. It's a spiritual experience. Get into their discography as well. It goes deep. Nick Cave is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He's written about death a lot in his career, as well as religion. One of his signature songs is The Mercy Seat written about a man about to be executed. It was covered by Johnny Cash.
Murder Ballads is a fantastic album. Nick drew on folk ballads and added his mown twist. Particular faves are his duet with Polly Jean Harvey: Henry Lee, the jaunty blood-lust of Stagger Lee, and the gleeful spite of The Curse of Millhaven.
The Wild Rose is a scary urban legend about a girl named Elisa Day (or Eliza Day) who was murdered by her boyfriend many years ago. The story inspired the Nick Cave song “Where the Wild Roses Grow”.
Nick Cave is an incredible writer and composer. I recommend reading his two novels, "The Death of Bunny Munro" (in which Kylie figures prominently) and "And the Ass Saw the Angel," as well as listening to the relatively recent single "Bright Horses" and an old favorite of mine, "The Ship Song." As for his screenplays, feast your eyes on 2005's "The Proposition," for which he also penned the score.
Not a glowing endorsement then..🙂...she sang this song live with Nick Cave during her Legends slot at Glastonbury a few years back. I think it shows the interesting turns her career has taken over the last 35 plus years shes been performing. Love her! I just hope she adds Dublin to her World Tour next year!
You should do a reaction to Kylie doing this live at her record viewing Glastonbury headline set on the pyramid stage in 2019.nice cave comes on as a surprise guest to sing it with her. She was supposed to do the headline spot in 2005 but got breast cancer so it was quite a moving set for her and her fans the lovers.
I think this is a commentary on how the victims of murderers can be identified by the name the media gives them / the murderer, and who they actually were gets lost. She was left near the wild roses with a rose in her mouth - so was only remembered as 'the wild rose' and not as Eliza Day, a real person.
It also displays how the female victim is dubbed “the wild rose” almost slvt shamed, and although they know her name, she was forever linked with her killer.
I'm surprised you hadn't heard of Nick Cave. You might know his "Red Right Hand" theme song from the "Scream" movies. I have an appreciation for his music now, but didn't when I first heard him. My animation professor used to play it during our classes. I just thought it was weird music for a class where we all sat in a dim or dark room. But he's standard on my playlists now.
Yes is a morbid story a murder Balad. The video is inspired in the painting Ophelia. Check the painting. Kylie is so Camaleonic. Amazing. This is like a dark movie.
While I don't listen to him all the time - I do have Nick Cave phases and he has written some incredible songs. From this album, 'Murder Ballads' - the song 'Stagger Lee' is certainly a talking point, but my favourite is 'As I Sat Sadly By Her Side' (album version, ideally - not the edit - although the video is quite nice) from 'No More Shall We Part' - a few years later.
This is a murder ballad modeled after the traditional ballad, murder ballads illustrate a narrative that hashes out the events of a murder. Often inspired by real events (“Omie Wise”), these ballads typically involve the murder of a woman by her lover . Today we would know these as serial killers. But many ballads is the way news traveled the singer would go from town to town. Murder ballads would be a sub genre of other ballads
If you ever have any doubt if it's Kylie or not, just look at her nose. She's the only woman I know with triangular nostrils :) it's Kylie an all scenes. The bad seeds are the other members of the rock band formed together with Nick Cave.
If you’re ready for the next scene….also listen to the song that almost naturally follows this murder ballad story, also written by Nick Cave, called - ‘Little Water Song’. Listen to Ute Lemper’s version. You experience what the character Elisa Dane experiences once she is below the water’s surface, moving and chilling….
I still remember people thinking this was romantic, the mv , the song😂😂😂 I was in my teenage years, and I did liked the imagery of the mv, the song, their voices together... But couldn't see the romance even tho I didn't understood all the lyrics at the time...
Some great music but I never understood why Nick Cave was one of Australia's handful of representatives at the King's coronation (with Adam Hills). That was just weird.
Let's be clear: this romanticizes violence against women. Especially messed up that you don't feel any rage from the victim. Quite the contrary: it comes across loving, which is very sick.
Ok, so this might not be popular opinion given what's been said so far, so, sorry all, I tend to describe this song as the song that non Kylie fans tend to enjoy and for Kylie fans, not so much. Again, sorry all, tis just what i've found over the years 🤷
lets do some more kylie songs, still "on a night like this"," slow", "chocolate". and her live version of "lightyears/i feel love" did you already listen to "GBI", Did it again"
I don't like this version of the song to be honest. I love the Bad Seeds and Nick's earlier bands, like The Birthday Party, but this version is boringly slow but what's worse is that Kylie is very pretty and she does have a good voice but she has NO expression? She sings it all the same. I then prefer the version where Nick sings this with his former bandmate Blixa live. Blixa sounds confused as to why they call him The Wild Rose, and not Eliza Day. He sounds betrayed when Nick has killed Eliza with the rock in his fist. I wished Kylie had used some more feelings in her singing, then maybe this could have been really good...
It's hard for me to comprehend how you can perceive Kylie's performance as lacking emotion or expression... she's playing the character Eliza Day as tentative, innocent, naive, soft, vulnerable, and ultimately, lost, confused, and broken. Yes, it's not a melodramatic and passionately emotive performance, but that's completely intentional, as that's not who the character Eliza Day is. As the lyrics state repeatedly through to the very end of the song, she still has no real comprehension of what happened to her... which all just reinforces how innocent and naive she was and how confused and lost she remains. It's devastating and perfect. I've heard a few covers of "Where The Wild Roses Grow" by other performers, and they've all been much more melodramatic and passionate, and they all come across as performative to me and leave me feeling cold. Kylie's restrained, delicate, innocent approach, instead feels so much more raw and visceral and gut-wrenching.
This song is from Nick Caves album "Murder Ballads". Its actually a conversation between the victim and her murderer. Interestingly, that what a massive hit in Europe in the 90ties. Nick Cave is Australian just like Kylie..I especially love his "Weeping Song" with him and Blixa Bargeld, his German guitarist, on vocals..
And Henry Lee, a duet with PJ Harvey ❤️
Excellent album by the way. Really, really good.
It is shit. 💩
Kylie was a muse for so many Australian musicians, not only nick cave but her one time boyfriend Michael Hutchence (RIP) lead singer of Australian band INXS. Michael wrote a hit song about Kylie called “suicide blonde” supposedly about the name of Kylie’s hair dye 😊
Also Kylie is a true ICON and a cancer survivor who is considered Australian royalty
This song was nominated for an award by MTV but Nick cave does not make music for awards etc he is a true musician.. there is a clip on YT of Nick Cave reading out a letter he wrote MTV, if you get a chance to watch it, I recommend you do as it is fantastic. There is also a clip of Kylie reading what Nick wrote
This was a huge hit in Europe. Still hauntingly beautiful.
Id forgotten about this song, and how damn good it is. I think this is one of Cave's murder ballads. Kylie was perfect for this.
This was no accident or someone coming to their senses. This song is about a serial killer who kills beautiful women and then leaves them with a red rose between their teeth, told from the point of view of one of his victims; hence, “And I kissed her goodbye / said, ‘All beauty must die’ / and I leant down and planted a rose ’tween her teeth”. The whole album is called _Murder Ballads_ which should also tell you something about the context.
The words you may be looking for are "A murder ballad". Great song and great musical talent all throughout ♥
I've always loved the storytelling within this song. Brilliant duet.
This song was based on an old Irish folklore tale. A woman named Eliza Day was found murdered floating in a creek, with a red rose laid between her lips.
MASTERPIECE song and video.❤❤❤❤❤this is ART and Art is made to disturb
You’ve never heard of NICK CAVE. Wowsers!!!
Kylie had been a muse for nick Cave for years. They are very close friends to this day. Incredible song
im a gay man who has always wondered how intoxicating she must be to straight men, I mean she's done some really really sexy stuff, but, I want to be her in those moments, its no wonder she's his muse
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds live is an experience you don't want to miss.
Aussie here. I would go see Nick Cave and the bad seeds in a heartbeat. Red Right Hand is another great song, and Into My Arms.
Into my arms was played at my wedding. I'm proud to be an American who knows beyond the murder ballads.
You guys gotta learn about Nick Cave. He's in the middle of a major renaissance.
It was all over the radio and MTV in the 90s. This was the first music video that really captivated me, the story, the music, everything.
SOMEBODY get these boys into learning about Nick Cave!!!
"then it seems he came to his senses" did we listen to the same lyrics?
No but it feels like a crime that they don't know about Nick Cave. Not just Murder Ballads and Let Love in but not even knowing him, his voice the dark, the beauty.

A beautiful murder ballad. So emotional and full of love. Crime passionel. Nick Cave is a great artist. Kylie at her best!
Nick Cave is the biggest living music legend man...
Nick is a brilliant poet
His written pieces on grief are a must
Nick Cave’s song “Into My Arms” is another song of his that is hauntingly sad. Never fails to make me cry.

This was considered mainstream in Australia during the 90s.
Based on an urban legend from Ireland. Great interpretation
Murder Ballads is a fantastic album. Nick drew on folk ballads and added his mown twist. Particular faves are his duet with Polly Jean Harvey: Henry Lee, the jaunty blood-lust of Stagger Lee, and the gleeful spite of The Curse of Millhaven.
Really memorable album, full crude and engaging.
This song is a diamond. Little Kylie is a goddess.
Outstanding song. The subject matter might be sensitive but it is masterfully written and beautifully performed. A veritable masterpiece!
Kylie’s best era.
You guys need to get into Nick Cave
He's an amazing artist

Umm yes, it’s all Kylie throughout the video. It‘s a beautiful song and video, even though it’s dark and terryfing. It’s art in its purest form.
Thank you recommender!
It's been ages since I saw and listened to this masterpiece.
I love this song. Such a sad and scary story. Kylie in the water in this music video reminds me of the painting called Ophelia.
I love the mesmerized look of you both…😅
One of my favorite songs as a teenager 😂
Hah, this was my favourite song at 10 years old. 😄
Not a glowing endorsement then..🙂...she sang this song live with Nick Cave during her Legends slot at Glastonbury a few years back. I think it shows the interesting turns her career has taken over the last 35 plus years shes been performing. Love her! I just hope she adds Dublin to her World Tour next year!
This song blow me away ❤

This. A thousand times this.
Murder ballads was an epic album. But they have so much more music. Love this band!
Love this song. It's been on my playlist for years.
Omg I havent heard this song since it came out. What a throwback.
You have never heard of Nick Cave??? I am in shock!! Stagger Lee? Into my arms? Next you will probably tell me that you have not heard of PJ Harvey?
Murder Ballads which this track comes from is an outstanding album.
It also displays how the female victim is dubbed “the wild rose” almost slvt shamed, and although they know her name, she was forever linked with her killer.

Balad. The video is inspired in the painting Ophelia. Check the painting. Kylie is so Camaleonic. Amazing. This is like a dark movie.

it's Kylie an all scenes. The bad seeds are the other members of the rock band formed together with Nick Cave.
Absolutely amazing tune ❤
Murder ballad! You should definitely go see Nick Cave in SF if you have the chance!!!!
Brilliant song. 🔥🔥🔥
If you have ever watched Peaky Blinders- the music first played is Nick Cave- Red Right Hand...
If you’re ready for the next scene….also listen to the song that almost naturally follows this murder ballad story, also written by Nick Cave, called - ‘Little Water Song’. Listen to Ute Lemper’s version. You experience what the character Elisa Dane experiences once she is below the water’s surface, moving and chilling….
What the f... how have you never hears of Nick Cave. Jesus
They call me the Wild Rose (her ghost), as seen wandering through the roses, but her name was Eliza Day. 🥀
I always interpreted it like how they called the black dhalia, the black dhalia and not her real name.
Finally. A NCBS. Reaction vid.
Ty
More Nick Cave please!!!!
No one deserves a break for killing Kylie Minogue
He's an absolute legend!
"Nick Cannon does the opposite" LOL
Was waiting for this reaction!
Nick Cave is iconic!!! Just do your homework boys ^^ don't die stupid pls ^^
Obsession and stalking and murder
im a kylie fan. my friends and i call this song 'i killed her with a rock'
I prefer the Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave version on her Abbey Road Sessions album.
I still remember people thinking this was romantic, the mv , the song😂😂😂 I was in my teenage years, and I did liked the imagery of the mv, the song, their voices together... But couldn't see the romance even tho I didn't understood all the lyrics at the time...
❣

did you already listen to "GBI", Did it again"
Don't you realise how this channel works? 😂
this song is amazing and was a huge hit and controversy in the late 80ies
Pretty sure this came out in mid 90s.
1995
There is nothing 80s about this!
I don't like this version of the song to be honest. I love the Bad Seeds and Nick's earlier bands, like The Birthday Party, but this version is boringly slow but what's worse is that Kylie is very pretty and she does have a good voice but she has NO expression? She sings it all the same.

Kylie's restrained, delicate, innocent approach, instead feels so much more raw and visceral and gut-wrenching.
Maybe she sings like that because her character is dead.
You just don't realise you've heard Nick cave .... if have watched peaky blinders ,the theme from that show is a nick cave tune.
This is awful
Wrong.
Are you still waiting for that Phil Collins reaction Dave?
