Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Where The Wild Roses Grow (Official Audio)

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are no ordinary group of musicians. Across four decades and 17 studio albums they have established themselves as one of the most exciting, influential and progressive bands on the planet. Albums including The Boatman's Call (1997), No More Shall We Part (2001), Push the Sky Away (2013) and their most recent Ghosteen (2019) have firmly cemented Cave’s position as one of the most acclaimed and sophisticated songwriters of his generation. Over the years, the Bad Seeds have harboured some of alternative music’s most celebrated and idiosyncratic musicians including Mick Harvey, Blixa Bargeld, Kid Congo Powers, Barry Adamson and the late, great Conway Savage. The current line-up of the group features the vital presence of shamanic multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis alongside Martyn Casey (bass), Thomas Wydler (drums), Jim Sclavunos (percussion) and George Vjestica (guitar). A band apart, right from the very beginning, the Bad Seeds have always sounded like nobody else on earth.

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me that I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me that I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And I lent down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me that I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
My name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day

Я недостаточно хорошо знаю репертуар Кайли Миноуг, но в дуэте с Ником слушаю постоянно. Удивительная, композиция!!! Иногда хорошо то, что не знаешь содержание ее...
