This is a duet nobody ever expected but is very highly regarded. Nick wrote this song with Kylie in mind. He had told his friend Michael Hutchence from INXS, who Kylie dated, that he wanted to work with her. Eventually he called Kylie's home and left a message with her mother. Kylie returned the call and left a message with Nick's mother. They met for the first time in the studio and have been friends ever since. Both adore one another and forever speak highly of the other
And that explains all the bodies in these two songs you've listened to so far, they're both from this album. Also, I believe it's called "Unaliving Ballads".
@@ingobordewick6480 I know, man, I was just making fun of this whole "unaliving" thing. But true story: back in the 90s when this album came out, I was browsing through CDs in a store one day and a woman next to me asked the guy if they had "an album called 'Crime Stories' by Kylie Minogue and a guy called Nick Something". A part of me died that day and it's haunting that woman.

Song is based on an old urban legend Back during the medieval times, there was a lovely woman named Elisa Day from Ireland. It was said that her beauty was like that of the wild roses that grew down the river, all bloody and red. One day, a man came to the small town where Elisa lived. He instantly fell in love with her. On the first day, he visited her where she lived. The next day he brought to her a single red rose. After this, he asked Elisa to meet him where the wild roses grow. They ended up dating for just three days. Upon the last day, he took her down by the river where he killed her. This evil soul waited until her back was turned, before striking her with a large rock in the back of the head. He then whispered, “All beauty must die” - and with one swift blow, he killed her instantly. After she died, this man placed a single red rose between her teeth and pushed her body into the river below. Since her untimely death, many folks who have wandered here have seen the ghost of Elisa aimlessly wandering the riverside. She has been described as a beautiful young woman, with blood running down one side of her face, with a single rose in her hand.
Although I was never a huge fan of Nick and the bad seeds, this is one of my favorite songs (I'm a proper metal head). I bought tickets to go see him while drunk one night with mate.. And every track live gave me goosebumps, he and band are incredible live, he's also really funny, but mixes in sad and thoughtful too when chatting.. That comes across in his writing. He's had a lot of tragedy in his life, he releases that in his music. I'm now a big fan, how can you not be after seeing them live
Minogue had already throw those little girl pop chains off after she got involved with Mike Hutchins from INXS. She was really looking to just expand musically to try different genres. Really interesting on the BBC. There’s a show where Shane McGowan, Dave Stewart, Nick Cave, and Kylie Minogue sing together. It’s wild.
"Henry Lee" is another great duet between Nick Cave & PJ Harvey. The song's from the very same album. "Curse of Millhaven" & "Kindness of Strangers" are some other great songs. :)
Both this song and O'Malley's Bar are from the same album "Murder Ballads"- both the album itself and the duet with Kylie in particular caused a moral panic at the time (1996), with Cave having to defend the subject matter from press attacks, noting that his lyrics were no more macabre than the content of a murder mystery novel, or a movie such as Silence of the Lambs. This album was the closing act of the second phase of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, where he was summing up the music and concepts that he had delved into up until this point. He had held the (unofficial) title of Alternative Rock's "Prince of Darkness" through the "80's and early '90's first with The Birthday Party and later with The Bad Seeds and he wanted to move onto other things lyrically and musically. Murder Ballads, summed up all his musical and lyrical themes up until that point and his next album The Boatman's Call was a more introspective set of piano ballads, leaving behind the more extreme Post Punk elements that were throughout his albums to that point. He turned 40 and was wanting to make more mellow and thoughtful songs for a more mature audience. Where the Wild Roses Grow was an indication of his future musical direction. For a good example of his previous, more extreme side, check out The Mercy Seat or I Had A Dream Joe or Release The Bats by The Birthday Party.
Wow was my first reaction when I first watched this video back when it came out. It was introduction to Nick Cave and his brilliant artistry. Kylie has always been great.
I’m not a great fan of Nick Cave’s music but he does do a good duet. Another one of his to try is the duet with PJ Harvey called ‘Henry Lee’. The music video is notable for the onscreen chemistry between two artists who had just started what was to be a short lived relationship. And on the subject of duets you will have received numerous requests in comments to your recent Kate Bush ‘Rocket’s Tail’ reaction for the duet Kate did with Peter Gabriel with his song ‘Don’t Give Up’.
You guys should absolutely check out Henry Lee, Nick's duet with PJ Harvey off this same album. If this song is up your alley, you're gonna love that one Hollywood. 💜
Favorite Nick Cave song. I found out about Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds through the Metallica cover on "Garage Inc., "Loverman." It isworth checking out both versions.
Nick and the seeds are just incredible, top tier songwriting and the seeds are one of the greatest rock super groups ever all members past and present. Live they are simply staggering plus his original post punk band the birthday party were one of the nastiest sleazy badass rock n roll bands ever, the funny thing is that out of a 40 year discography both the tracks you reacted to are from the same album Murder ballads which is very popular but one of my least favourite, still very good but aoart from Nocturama the one i go back to the least. Would suggest the carny as someone else fid for one of my favourite tracks from the earlier years and conversion from his lastest album wild god, but you can't really go wrong with anything, and if you are feeling adventurous check out Mutiny in heaven or Nick the stripper by the birthday party
"Where the Wild Roses Grow" was released on October 2, 1995, as the lead single from Murder Ballads, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' ninth studio album. The song is a dark, romantic ballad that explores themes of love, obsession, and murder, inspired by traditional murder ballads and poetry. Origins and Inspiration Nick Cave wrote the song with Kylie Minogue in mind for the female role. He was drawn to Minogue's persona, viewing her as an ideal contrast to the dark and gothic tone of the track. The story reflects classic murder ballad tropes, where beauty and tragedy intertwine. Cave has mentioned that the song was partially inspired by the traditional Appalachian song "Down in the Willow Garden," which also tells the story of a man murdering his lover. Narrative The lyrics alternate between the perspectives of the man and the woman. The man describes meeting a beautiful woman named Elisa by the river, where he admires her beauty and promises her love. The woman's verses reflect her fascination with him and the wild roses he gives her. However, the story takes a dark turn when the man reveals his true intentions: he kills her and lays her body in the river with the wild roses. Collaboration The collaboration between Cave and Minogue was surprising to many, as Minogue was primarily known for her pop music career. However, their contrasting styles created a striking dynamic, with Minogue's ethereal vocals adding an eerie beauty to the song. Reception and Legacy The song received critical acclaim for its haunting melody, poetic lyrics, and the chemistry between Cave and Minogue. It became one of Nick Cave's most commercially successful songs, earning awards and recognition worldwide. The accompanying music video, directed by Rocky Schenck, features imagery inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite art movement, adding to its timeless and tragic atmosphere. - The meaning of "Where the Wild Roses Grow" is layered, exploring themes of love, obsession, beauty, and tragedy. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects: 1. The Narrative The song tells the story of a man and a woman-Elisa Day-whose relationship ends in tragedy. Told from both perspectives, the man falls in love with Elisa's beauty and compares her to a wild rose, symbolizing her allure, fragility, and untamed nature. However, his love turns destructive, and he ultimately kills her, laying her body where the wild roses grow. This mirrors traditional murder ballads, where love and violence are intertwined. 2. The Symbolism of Wild Roses Wild roses symbolize beauty and passion, but they also carry connotations of transience and danger. By placing the roses at the center of the story, Nick Cave evokes the fleeting nature of life and love, as well as the darker impulses that can accompany obsession. 3. Dual Perspectives The alternating verses highlight how love can be experienced differently by each person. Elisa's verses convey her innocence and trust, while the man's verses reveal his growing obsession and eventual betrayal. This duality emphasizes the contrast between love's idealized beauty and its potential for destruction. 4. Themes of Innocence and Betrayal Elisa Day's character embodies innocence and purity, which are ultimately betrayed by the man she trusts. Her fate serves as a commentary on how vulnerability can be exploited, particularly in relationships where one person holds more power or harbors darker intentions. 5. Tragic Beauty The song’s haunting melody and poetic lyrics amplify the tragic tone. It portrays the destructive side of love as both heartbreaking and inevitable, creating a melancholic beauty that resonates deeply with listeners. The story is timeless, drawing on folkloric and literary traditions, but its emotional depth and ambiguity keeps it fresh.
Kylie Minogue's 1997 album Impossible Princess is considered her "indie Kylie" album Kylie was looking just to experiment with different genres of music. She was very friendly with Nick Cave who introduced her to Shane McGowan and Dave Stewart. London was happening back in the 90s musically. Unfortunately, that album released coincided with the unfortunate death of Princess Diana, and they change the name of of the album. It was a disaster for a PR reasons. It actually got good reviews, but it didn’t sell very well.
There are some really quirky, dark and very eclectic aussie song writers. Nick Cave is one of them. And his murder album. I believe the song is partly influenced by the story of Ophelia described in a scene from Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The rest is Nick was a very enamoured of Kylie and tried to write several songs for her but he thought none were worthy until he finally wrote this one. He finally contacted her and the rest is history.
Using beautiful women as fertilizer for his roses. Bringing them to the field "to see the flowers". Neat. And the ambiguity of "planting" a rose between her teeth? Priceless.
I'm pretty sure this was my first time ever hearing Nick Cave. I've always heard his name just never took the time to listen. I did enjoy this though. I never heard of an urban legend or anything but the story sounds interesting. I'm gonna have to look into it
A song needed to be heard "loud" ... crazy great! :) Don't remember when it came out - long time ago, though - ... but, wow! I first saw this video on MTV or something like that. Wow!
I recommend you listen to Nick Cave & the bad Seeds Jubliee Street (Live in Copenhagen) I respect Nick as an Artist but I wouldn't know many of his songs...however after listening to this I have started to pay attention to him more
These unalive songs both come from the album’Murder Ballads’. Nick Cave has a much bigger discography and I don’t know of many artists I’ve heard who have such variation in the sound/ style/ genre/ persona etc that they produce. Even if I don’t love all his songs I’m always interested in the stories he’s telling (even with foregone conclusions like in Murder Ballads).
The images on the video are a reference to the Pre-Raphaelite art movement from later19th century England Also, Kylie had an experimental period in the 90's, best exemplified with the creepy "Confide in Me"
Great song. But it has also been critizised lately for romantizising femicides. There is some truth to that although I think Nick Cave had no bad intentions but do some good creepy storytelling....
You gotta check out early Nick Cave - back to "the mercy seat". So good. My friends got married to "the ship song" & "the weeping song" is with checking out as well.
Nick Cave has a lot of awesome songs to look into. My favorites include "Do You Love Me?" (part 2 as well), "Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore", "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow", "Jack the Ripper" and "O Children".
Kylie was dating Micheal Hutchison, the lead singer of INXS, who eventually turned out to be a bit creepy and weird in a deceptive erotic fashion, at the time that this song was first released. Just shows that even the seemingly quiet innocent ones can have dark tastes in lovers and songs. Kylie certainly had that even with her original sweet, innocent, girl next door image.
They shouldn't go together, but they do! They're both Australian so maybe there's a mindset that works together. Awesome song. Highly recommend "into my arms" or "red right hand" by Nick Cave and the bad seeds. *Fun fact* Nick Cave buys his shirts from my wife's Uncle, who is a tailor.
This one is from the same album as O'Malley's Bar - Murder Ballads. In each song, *someone* dies. But that's just the theme of that album. Try something like Mercy Seat, Red Right Hand, or Up Jumped the Devil (my personal favourite). It's essentially blues-rock.
Have you guys ever checked out Kasey Chambers (another Aussie) do her differently styled cover of Lose Yourself? It's fantastic. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/S70xek3x4ro/v-deo.htmlsi=sI_kJ6S3kXBK4vZa
I like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I could be more of a fan. My favorite song from them is _Red Right Hand,_ and I know it from The X-Files soundtrack - Songs in the Key of X - I think. A Gen-X metalhead has his cognition issues, you know.
The song is based on an Irish urban legend about a 3 day affair between Elisa Day and a roaming traveller. It was made into a movie of which this song was written for.
This is a duet nobody ever expected but is very highly regarded.
Nick wrote this song with Kylie in mind.
He had told his friend Michael Hutchence from INXS, who Kylie dated, that he wanted to work with her.
Eventually he called Kylie's home and left a message with her mother.
Kylie returned the call and left a message with Nick's mother.
They met for the first time in the studio and have been friends ever since.
Both adore one another and forever speak highly of the other
An amazing duet, video and song. Utterly brilliant. Thanks for the great reaction and thank you Australia for these great artists.
2 amazing songs to recommend - 'Confide in me' by Kylie and 'Into my arms' by Nick. Underrated classics
Good call with Confide in me, if I had to choose a best Kylie song it'd be that one
The Album it came off was called Murder Ballads.
And that explains all the bodies in these two songs you've listened to so far, they're both from this album. Also, I believe it's called "Unaliving Ballads".
@@weebzam6487 Nope, the album is "Murder Ballads".
One of my faves, love murder ballads,

From a fellow metalhead; try Dar Williams. Start with "Are you out there" and "If I wrote you."
Absolute 🔥🔥🔥 duet.
The song is so dark and yet, beautiful
This duet was Kylie Minogue's way to escape her 'Girlie Pop' image from the 80s.
Minogue had already throw those little girl pop chains off after she got involved with Mike Hutchins from INXS.
She was really looking to just expand musically to try different genres. Really interesting on the BBC. There’s a show where Shane McGowan, Dave Stewart, Nick Cave, and Kylie Minogue sing together. It’s wild.
@@jgog59
Well, it's what was said about this collab, that she sought it out for exactly that purpose.
The whole "Murder Ballads" album is wonderful but very dark. There's also a great version of old blues standard "Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee is the best of this album.
"Henry Lee" is another great duet between Nick Cave & PJ Harvey. The song's from the very same album. "Curse of Millhaven" & "Kindness of Strangers" are some other great songs. :)
Love the duet with Pj Harvey
Thanks guys for this beautiful song. This was a BIG HIT!!!!!
Love a bit of Nick Cave...& I'd die on any hill for Kylie Minogue ❤❤

The Carny is another great Nick Cave song, some of his best storytelling .
Wow was my first reaction when I first watched this video back when it came out. It was introduction to Nick Cave and his brilliant artistry. Kylie has always been great.
Best Australian Duett ever....a Natural Treasure....." All Beauty must Die".....who did NOT fall in Love with Kylie ?
Man, Hollywood had the stutterbug today XD
Also, what a song. Haven't heard it in years and it's still as beautiful.
Red Right Hand or The Mercy Seat are worth checking out too. I love Nick Cave and the Black Seeds, so many good songs.
I’m not a great fan of Nick Cave’s music but he does do a good duet. Another one of his to try is the duet with PJ Harvey called ‘Henry Lee’.

@@metalguru85 100% agree. I bet they would totally vibe with 'Henry Lee' too.
I was luckily enough to meet Nick Cave when he came to New Zealand. Bloody lovely guy. Bad seed for life!❤❤❤
Great tune, check out The Mercy Seat. Cave has a range of great stuff.
These are 2 big Australian artists. Thanks for reacting to them. 💕👍🦇

Kylie Minogue is a two time Grammy award winner you both should listen and react to Kylie minogue Grammy award winner song padam padam
Lots of great Nick Cave songs to check out. The Weeping Song, Loverman, Do You Love Me?, 15 Feet of Pure White Snow...
Love this song!
The song and video represent the story of Ophelia.

Best Australia song
There are some really quirky, dark and very eclectic aussie song writers.
Nick Cave is one of them. And his murder album.
I believe the song is partly influenced by the story of Ophelia described in a scene from Shakespeare's play Hamlet.
The rest is Nick was a very enamoured of Kylie and tried to write several songs for her but he thought none were worthy until he finally wrote this one.
He finally contacted her and the rest is history.
The whole album Murder ballads are crime stories from criminal perspective. Theres much more from Cave to discover.
Nick and Kylie have been friends for years and he regards her as his muse.
Kylies the QUEEN, her latest album Tension is soo good 💯 #PadamPadam
God I love this song
Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky [Abbey Road Live Session] is a must for 2025
Amazing collab
Using beautiful women as fertilizer for his roses. Bringing them to the field "to see the flowers". Neat. And the ambiguity of "planting" a rose between her teeth? Priceless.
Try Red Right Hand.... featured on the scream movie soundtrack!
And Dumb and Dumber
I'm pretty sure this was my first time ever hearing Nick Cave. I've always heard his name just never took the time to listen. I did enjoy this though. I never heard of an urban legend or anything but the story sounds interesting. I'm gonna have to look into it
Well they are both Australian!
still on my play list after all these years
❤️ Nick Cave . He continued a old style Murder Ballards from the past century but made it his own
Love this ballad since first saw it at MTV back then 😊
Nick's duet with PJ Harvey is a must
A song needed to be heard "loud" ... crazy great! :) Don't remember when it came out - long time ago, though - ... but, wow! I first saw this video on MTV or something like that. Wow!
Nick Cave does a lot of dark stuff.
Give Nick Cave's "The good son" a listen. Loved your reaction, and please keep listening to N.C.. I believe Kylie and Nick were an item for a while?
Top stuff.....check out The Kindness of Strangers by NIck.....something everyman needs his daughter to hear.
Oh and his garage rock side project grinderman is balls to the wall fun could check out No pussy blues for a laugh
im a gay fan of kylie. my friends and i call this song "i killed her with a rock"
I recommend you listen to Nick Cave & the bad Seeds Jubliee Street (Live in Copenhagen) I respect Nick as an Artist but I wouldn't know many of his songs...however after listening to this I have started to pay attention to him more
These unalive songs both come from the album’Murder Ballads’. Nick Cave has a much bigger discography and I don’t know of many artists I’ve heard who have such variation in the sound/ style/ genre/ persona etc that they produce. Even if I don’t love all his songs I’m always interested in the stories he’s telling (even with foregone conclusions like in Murder Ballads).
Legend.........
The images on the video are a reference to the Pre-Raphaelite art movement from later19th century England
Also, Kylie had an experimental period in the 90's, best exemplified with the creepy "Confide in Me"
Great song. But it has also been critizised lately for romantizising femicides. There is some truth to that although I think Nick Cave had no bad intentions but do some good creepy storytelling....
Missed opportunity she didn’t get to play Poison Ivy in a ‘Batman’, closest we got was “Bio-Dome”.
Lol
I've been looking to see who I could request to do this one, but y'all beat me to it
Did Nick Cave make a song called Sorrow's Child? I think that's a good one.
I always took it to be a reference to Elizabeth short who lost her identity when the press called her case the 'Black Dahlia'
You gotta check out early Nick Cave - back to "the mercy seat". So good. My friends got married to "the ship song" & "the weeping song" is with checking out as well.
Nick Cave has a lot of awesome songs to look into. My favorites include "Do You Love Me?" (part 2 as well), "Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore", "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow", "Jack the Ripper" and "O Children".
Weeping Song!!
Fantastic song!!
Nick Cave - overdue! Awesome! That guy has some depth, check out "Push the sky away! - Live"
Murder Ballads. Amazing album. Every single song worth listening.
Kylie was dating Micheal Hutchison, the lead singer of INXS, who eventually turned out to be a bit creepy and weird in a deceptive erotic fashion, at the time that this song was first released. Just shows that even the seemingly quiet innocent ones can have dark tastes in lovers and songs. Kylie certainly had that even with her original sweet, innocent, girl next door image.
Dark, huh? 😅
Something different for Kylie, definitely. It works well enough, doncha think? Not one I'd hurry back to, tbh.
✌🏼😉🎶🖤🍁🖤✨️🕊🥂
They shouldn't go together, but they do! They're both Australian so maybe there's a mindset that works together.
Awesome song. Highly recommend "into my arms" or "red right hand" by Nick Cave and the bad seeds.
*Fun fact* Nick Cave buys his shirts from my wife's Uncle, who is a tailor.
Do Black Jack Davey. A similar story. Bob Dylan did it.
Sorry, Blackjack, without the space. It's a folk song.
This song is very deep.
This one is from the same album as O'Malley's Bar - Murder Ballads. In each song, *someone* dies. But that's just the theme of that album. Try something like Mercy Seat, Red Right Hand, or Up Jumped the Devil (my personal favourite). It's essentially blues-rock.
Sticking with the theme:
Theraphy? - Diane.
Heather nova - The island.
man,i forgot this song existed.
I dont think they would get away with that today.
I just HAD to comment on this and tell you to also listen to Song Of Joy. From the same album. It's AMAZING
❤
You must do more Nick Cave AND more Kylie
YOU STILL HAVEN'T LISTENED TO A PERFECT CIRCLE "WHEN THE LEVY BREAKS!!!!!" LIVE AT RED ROCK!! DO IT NOW!!!!
So you guys haven’t watched Peaky Blinders - theme song is Nick Cave (Red right hand)
Red right hand is a banger from nick cave and the bad seeds
Spree is pronounced Shpraye
If you liked this please check out Ville Valo & Natalia Avelon - Summer wine!!!
If you've done 2 off this album...you really need to do Stagger Lee!!!
Gotta do the Metallica cover of Nick Cave’s ‘Lover Man’
Have you guys ever checked out Kasey Chambers (another Aussie) do her differently styled cover of Lose Yourself? It's fantastic. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/S70xek3x4ro/v-deo.htmlsi=sI_kJ6S3kXBK4vZa
I like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I could be more of a fan. My favorite song from them is _Red Right Hand,_ and I know it from The X-Files soundtrack - Songs in the Key of X - I think. A Gen-X metalhead has his cognition issues, you know.
They were together at one point. Both Australian
Ship song, people aint no good, into my arms.
Another side of Nick Cave- away from the schoolboy histrionics.
Please react to "Red Blooded Woman" by kylie minogue
Please react to Hiatus Kaiyote...Red Room
High as a kyte.
I'm sorry but I found this kinda funny
When this song was released, Nick Cave was the most hated person in Australia. How dare he do this with pure, innocent Kylie!
not that I remember
The song is based on an Irish urban legend about a 3 day affair between Elisa Day and a roaming traveller. It was made into a movie of which this song was written for.
