I just discovered this track myself. Being a fan of both Misfits and Hole's earlier material, I had to hear this. The song kind of makes me think of Nick Cave a bit -- who I also love. I just read an interview about it with Melissa explaining the build up to their meeting. Melissa's story is actually really nice. She apparently used to live near him and would occasionally drive passed his house and wish he was her friend. She stated that throughout the majority of her time in Hole, she wore a sweatband that was a Danzig patch; she considered it to be her lucky band. When she sent him a demo of this song, she did both parts in different vocals styles. However, no one was sure that he would accept the offer since he doesn't really do vocals for other people's music, but he personally called her back, and they met up to record together. She stated that he was the least disappointing hero she ever met.
your story made this find even better. i used to stalk danzig and once saw him walking home from gelsons arms full of groceries (during the fucking supermarket workers strike) danzig went on foot and shopped alone and walked a mile or two home to his haunted munsters house near the library. i never bothered him but always took that route just for fun, saw him lots actually
Story is sorta sorta. But Glenn aided her in writing her second album and cowrote "out of our mind" that she put out as the lead single of said album before this song was recorded.
Danzig is my all time favorite singer this song is awesome l wish there was a full album of this. Hearing this song makes me think of Red Dead Redemption
Yes - definitely... Less than zero is also one of his best... probably the best of all... but he of course did many great ones... but those two are definitely outstanding...
Amazing tune ...Glenn Danzig is the master of the gothic tone ....Melissa Auf der Maur is so underrated as a songwriter and musician it's criminal .....
Ruckus Dean I wonder if hole went full mainstream would there sound have gotten softer over the years and would Courtney not make new hard hitting songs for this decade
Father's Grave Melissa Auf der Maur Listen, sweet little girl, Your father's gone below I know, I'm trying hard, Trying to let go Just let me lead you, To the ground where lies his heart With all these tears inside, I'll surely fall apart It's time to face your loss, Let your father go He's gone, girl, Down below Walk along this dirty path, Enjoy the failling rain I'm scared to say goodbye, To face his hidden pain It's time to free your loss, Let your father go But I need your help, sweet sir, You put him six feet below Woooooo, woooo I dug your father's grave Woooooo, woooo I dug your father's grave Got to find your fire, girl, Survival of your soul Please, friend, show me how, I don't know where to start It's time to face your loss, Let your father go But I need help, dear sir, You put him six feet below Woooooo, woooo I dug your father's grave Woooooo, woooo You dug my father's grave Woooooo, woooo I dug your father's grave (You dug my father's grave) Woooooo, woooo I dug your father's grave Now we stand at your father's feet Please, little girl, be brave Hold me, I'll say goodbye, I'll be better off this way Let me hear your heart and soul, I'll put him in his grave I feel the sorrow lifting, As I kiss your lips in the rain I dug your father's grave Wooooooo (You dug my father's grave) Wooooooo Please little girl, be brave Wooooooo (You dug my father's grave) I dug your father's grave Wooooooo (You dug my father's grave) I dug your father's grave Traducir al español
I know this comment is old as fuck. But this mindset always bothers me because Courtney's voice was more suited for the grunge genre with her rawness and tone. Melissa is the technically better singer, but that's not the only metric in choosing a lead vocalist.
This song stays with you. She got his early Danzig style down. It would be wise for Glenn to have her write more for him. Stripped down and S-L-O-W! I'm buying this song for sure!
I've thought for awhile that Glenn needs to sing over softer music and this just confirms it. He has to push too hard to get over the heavy stuff but if it's not exactly metal he's able to use the tones that benefit him more in his old age.
Once again DANZIG kills it and she sings murder as well they play this song at my fennel..when I Die ..love this song so much ..the power in the voice just hits me Deep down in my soul.
His VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uuuuffffffff. TOP of his game here. I love the idea of the song, words, and music. Not really digging her singing however. I do like her "whoa's" in the chorus though. and respect to anyone who got to do this with him!
It sucks that Glen haven't done more colaborations like this wich kick ass, I ain't killing you Glenn but it would be a shame not to appreciate the little time we have left and leave a bigger legacy and kick ass, hard knock ass songs to us
As soon as Danzig hears " ex - Hole bassist " downstairs - * pops some apomorphine * ... keeps her waiting for 20 minutes ... here comes Danzig down the stairs feeling like Dalkiel from his Satanika comic books ... " Oh sure , Mrs. Der Maur , rest assured we´ll work out a truly solid tune ... :-) "
Danzig para mi es y sera una de las mejores bandas en la escena del heavy metal. Excelente combinación de voces en esta canción. Pero pudo ser mejor si la guitarra la hubiera tocado jhon Christ.
Great tune , of course - even Melissa´s solo stuff ain´t that bad and she´s pretty open - minded , I mean , who the fuck in Hollywood would dig "Blackjazz" and collaborate with them ? Go girl !!!!!
What are talking about? 90% of his fans would say the complete opposite. Especially if we are solely talking about Danzig(band). The first 4 albums are his untouchable. I still listen to songs he made after 4p but the only album i can listen to in its entirety is DRS.
Haunting voices gathered for such song... ASCAP should point your ears to godlike songwriting like this ...not buttmoving crap like Bad Bunny being prized as composer of the year hahaha ....is a total joke.
i love glenn but damn this is awful, all the timings are off and too many syllable beats jammed and forced into every measure, plus, wtf is this album cover even of?!

This does remind me of Nick Cave.

+Billy Beane Are you perhaps a conspiracy theory supporter guy ?
Glenn's voice...there's just something to it. Melissa sings really well too. And the song is unbelievably great.
It's like tenor baritone
This was the first duet Danzig ever did. Melissa was such a fan and he agreed. His second was with Cheri Currie for a cover of Some Velvet Morning.
The vocal performances of both artists are beyond perfection.
How could it even be possible to not fall in love with this song no matter what your music tastes are?
perfect duet for Danzig and Melissa to do ! it fits them both so well!
Danzig is my all time favorite singer this song is awesome l wish there was a full album of this. Hearing this song makes me think of Red Dead Redemption
And it was written by Melissa for this duet...
first time hearing this and I immediately thought of red dead too! lolll
Hell yeah
If there is a continuation of "Mother" there you are... Awesome hidden gem
What a gem! So glad I found this track. Glenn and Melissa rock.
Forgot all about Auf Der Maur sW them open for HIM once. Was a good show.
That's flipping amazingly good! How did I miss this at the time?! Glenn sounds incredible!
+Julian Shakespeare The album was published by an indie label (Roadrunner Records) in Europe and her label PHI-MAdM in North America...
I’m six years behind ya dude.
probably one of the best songs/vocals glenn ever recorded...
For me, It's You and Me Less than Zero. His Vocals are Amazing. 🤘
This is a good Tune also
Yes - definitely... Less than zero is also one of his best... probably the best of all... but he of course did many great ones... but those two are definitely outstanding...
I guess you haven't listened to his four first albums. Danzig I - IV were solid though. I miss Chuck Biscuits and John Christ.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Not.
better than Blood and Tears??? no way
What a haunting track! Awesome chemistry between them!
enchanting like a mortuary ballad
This is amazing, I love the combination of their voices.
Holy shit hi mom. Ist it the best..
I just discovered this a few months ago. Not sure how I missed it, it's glorious.
there needs to be more of this!!!
One of my favourite songs.
26 dislikes obviously they don't know what real music is they must be close minded this is real music way better than alot of music they make now days
All from Courtney Love mad that Danzig didn't do a duet with her...😂
Amazing tune ...Glenn Danzig is the master of the gothic tone ....Melissa Auf der Maur is so underrated as a songwriter and musician it's criminal .....
Ruckus Dean I wonder if hole went full mainstream would there sound have gotten softer over the years and would Courtney not make new hard hitting songs for this decade
This song fing blows lol
@@googlewantstoknowyourlocat1115 you must be an R-Kelly fan. Of course you have no taste.
@@machinegun3133 Nah. I have a twelve-inch-across Danzig skull tattoo on my back.
@jen hilla 98 lets see it then
Ya aint gawn find a more Danzigonian dude than I.
But this...was new for me.
Wow.
feels like i woke up and the world was interesting, again!
Fantastic song!!!! It’s not on iTunes though…
Father's Grave
Melissa Auf der Maur
Listen, sweet little girl,
Your father's gone below
I know, I'm trying hard,
Trying to let go
Just let me lead you,
To the ground where lies his heart
With all these tears inside,
I'll surely fall apart
It's time to face your loss,
Let your father go
He's gone, girl,
Down below
Walk along this dirty path,
Enjoy the failling rain
I'm scared to say goodbye,
To face his hidden pain
It's time to free your loss,
Let your father go
But I need your help, sweet sir,
You put him six feet below
Woooooo, woooo
I dug your father's grave
Woooooo, woooo
I dug your father's grave
Got to find your fire, girl,
Survival of your soul
Please, friend, show me how,
I don't know where to start
It's time to face your loss,
Let your father go
But I need help, dear sir,
You put him six feet below
Woooooo, woooo
I dug your father's grave
Woooooo, woooo
You dug my father's grave
Woooooo, woooo
I dug your father's grave
(You dug my father's grave)
Woooooo, woooo
I dug your father's grave
Now we stand at your father's feet
Please, little girl, be brave
Hold me, I'll say goodbye,
I'll be better off this way
Let me hear your heart and soul,
I'll put him in his grave
I feel the sorrow lifting,
As I kiss your lips in the rain
I dug your father's grave
Wooooooo
(You dug my father's grave)
Wooooooo
Please little girl, be brave
Wooooooo
(You dug my father's grave)
I dug your father's grave
Wooooooo
(You dug my father's grave)
I dug your father's grave

Thank you for putting the words here ... Muchos gracias. Xx.
thrilled i found this, can't believe it don't have more views
Whoa. This is good.
Amazing.
How she wasn’t the lead singer for Hole I’ll never understand. I’m absolutely in love.
I know this comment is old as fuck. But this mindset always bothers me because Courtney's voice was more suited for the grunge genre with her rawness and tone. Melissa is the technically better singer, but that's not the only metric in choosing a lead vocalist.
My god, this is a great song! So happy to discover it.
This song stays with you. She got his early Danzig style down. It would be wise for Glenn to have her write more for him. Stripped down and S-L-O-W! I'm buying this song for sure!
Some truth right there. This woman gets him much more than the male collaborators seem to.
I've thought for awhile that Glenn needs to sing over softer music and this just confirms it. He has to push too hard to get over the heavy stuff but if it's not exactly metal he's able to use the tones that benefit him more in his old age.
Glenny D has his Elvis tone in beautiful affect in this beauty - and Melissa is effectively vulnerable and spooky cool.
They need a video for this
Superb
Glenn Danzig, Josh Freese, Mike Garson and auf..ACES!!!
So good! Not good...amazing. a gem. Love it
Mike Garson on piano...
Very good audio quality, thanks for sharing !
awesome duet
I agree🙌
Beyond cool.
This is a good 2nd part to "mother" for some reason
Wow, this is actually pretty damn good.
I´m here in 2019 loving this
Powerful!
Once again DANZIG kills it and she sings murder as well they play this song at my fennel..when I Die ..love this song so much ..the power in the voice just hits me Deep down in my soul.
We need on spotify! Real bad!
Buy it instead.
Awesome stuff.
this is beautiful
It sucks i think
This is perfect. I love it.
Wow! I’ve never heard this! Good stuff😁
Amazing!
His VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uuuuffffffff. TOP of his game here. I love the idea of the song, words, and music. Not really digging her singing however. I do like her "whoa's" in the chorus though. and respect to anyone who got to do this with him!
It was just odd hearing someone else with Danzig, but I like her voice and the "whoa's"
I dig it. Patiently waiting for the classic Danzig lineup to tour so I can die happy.
very good
I love it....
This is amazing
Best thing Glenn's done since Danzig 4p.
Well done!
Pretty good Danzig needs to do more dark bluesy tunes like this and black hell
amazing!
CONGRATS
Love it!
This is perfect
...Please little girl be BRAVE!!
Epic!!!!!
I wish those two would just do a whole record together.
Agreed and agreed.
It sucks that Glen haven't done more colaborations like this wich kick ass, I ain't killing you Glenn but it would be a shame not to appreciate the little time we have left and leave a bigger legacy and kick ass, hard knock ass songs to us
You are so right///
Danzig rocks!
Roy Orbison, Power and Fury were duets also....
Gracias, H♥le, por los favores recibidos.
I wonder just HOW hard Melissa had to work for this collaboration :-) !
SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS A LABOR OF LOVE TO ME.
She took everything he had in her rear end. Danzig bragged about pounding her in her rear end. Said she couldn't take everything he had but he still g
esta genial, pero lo busque subtitulado al español y no lo encontré, me podrías ayudar?
As soon as Danzig hears " ex - Hole bassist " downstairs - * pops some apomorphine * ... keeps her waiting for 20 minutes ... here comes Danzig down the stairs feeling like Dalkiel from his Satanika comic books ... " Oh sure , Mrs. Der Maur , rest assured we´ll work out a truly solid tune ... :-) "
Made me laugh harder than it should xD
You dug his grave but not digging mine. And he's digging father Faheys grave
i can see this being a really good silent hill game opening song
You should read the story about how she got Danzig to participate
This is so good. i= used threeS's in this.
Love this 3 Sses.
fuckin great
❤
Danzig para mi es y sera una de las mejores bandas en la escena del heavy metal. Excelente combinación de voces en esta canción. Pero pudo ser mejor si la guitarra la hubiera tocado jhon Christ.
Damn straight....depending on the father.
Coni te amo washa qla
at first i thought the title was ''Graves' father'' lol
it's a sing sing with the great lord glenn danzig
Great tune , of course - even Melissa´s solo stuff ain´t that bad and she´s pretty open - minded , I mean , who the fuck in Hollywood would dig "Blackjazz" and collaborate with them ? Go girl !!!!!
🔥🔥💘
I'm shocked Danzig hasn't done more duets, this is great. I enjoy his old Misfits stuff, but his best work came after 1994 till present day
What are talking about? 90% of his fans would say the complete opposite. Especially if we are solely talking about Danzig(band). The first 4 albums are his untouchable. I still listen to songs he made after 4p but the only album i can listen to in its entirety is DRS.
DRS and COS and a few tracks about the ninth program off his latest aren't too bad :-)
no
Uh no. His best albums were 1988-1994. Your the only person that thinks that
I see Vajayjay in folds of her dress!!!
ah Melissa üzümlü kekim
Melisammm
One inch punch
Once upon a time
Misfits Forever!
Jep! :D Tinja&Markku
Did she write this song?
She did.
Ooof.
Cool.. Diff.. But meloncholy..right up dans alley 🤘
This is beautiful but the only person to have him on their record? Nu uh!!
RiversideRambo pretty sure this is the only duet he's done, or at least was when the song came out. that was quite a few years ago so who knows
zajebiste :)
Indeed.
i wish, i could sing this song on my fathers grave... but that asshole dont wanna die...
It doesn't quite sound like Danzig.Almost like the guy who sings the Danzig shopping list.Hmmm.
Haunting voices gathered for such song... ASCAP should point your ears to godlike songwriting like this ...not buttmoving crap like Bad Bunny being prized as composer of the year hahaha ....is a total joke.
i love glenn but damn this is awful, all the timings are off and too many syllable beats jammed and forced into every measure, plus, wtf is this album cover even of?!
You are a music snob... Perfection is about being imperfect.
Glenn sings awesome. She sings like crap.
Her voice is ….. 👎
I'm sorry but her part ruins it
That is just your view, she wrote this song yet...
