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.
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.
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.
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
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 let love in 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
2:27 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...
PERFECT FOR MY SATURDAY NIGHT..IM STRESSED AND A LIL SAD BUT THIS SONG WHICH I ADORE BECAUSE ITS MR. CAVES AND YOUR VOICE IS A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION...
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 !!!
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.

An asylum Murphy ranch asylum we don’t Leave but choose to stay here!!
I'm so happy that this exists

100% spot on!
True .She doesnt just try to do Nick.

*THE IDEA OF HER AND NICK CAVE SINGING THIS TOGETHER :')*
Needs to happen!
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
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
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.
Her voice doesn't need to be 'clean' in the mix to sound really phenomenal
Please release a compilation of all these covers
...I love this woman
if you haveny cried to that song, you havent felt it
Profound cover. I like her vocal melody more than Nick's in original.

What a great job.
I could get behind Chelsea Wolfe & the Bad Seeds.
maybe that's why SHE'S SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOD
I let love in
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
2:27
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...

PERFECT FOR MY SATURDAY NIGHT..IM STRESSED AND A LIL SAD BUT THIS SONG WHICH I ADORE BECAUSE ITS MR. CAVES AND YOUR VOICE IS A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION...
OK Nick and his crew have done some covers that transcend the original...just as Chelsea Wolfe does here...
CHELSEA IS SO PERFECT
This is such a gorgeous cover, of a great NCATBS song!
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 !!!
I love you.
banda brittanica deveria fazer um cover dessa música
cool
Kind of foggy sounding. I want to fuddle with the radio dials to get it to come in clearer.

... *subscribed* Wow.
stylistic choice. heavy reverb and a filter (hi pass) EQ.
too gangster
Love sucks it's all a lie to me... self love is true to me
In this picture Chelsea looks a lot like Cave's wife.
Chelsea Wolfe-Cave
She wishes I'm sure
and alice coopers sister
just a one little memento from u
!!!!!!!!
Feels like I’m on a bomb one
Am I the only one who can see this song on a quintin tarantino movie?
This is zillion times cooler than Nick Cave. Bravo!
Remenbering Nico
Muito ducaralho. Kkk
I thank G-d for You
cave's version still best
On record perhaps. But since Blixa and Mick left that song's genius will never be repeated.
Deeply sad
this sounds like the roadburn festival all mixed up in a blender
too saturated for me to enjoy it, 2 bad, love Chelsea
Nick Cave WHO??
Blasphemy! :D
How dare you?
sry, no
Horrible!
La bande son ???
Horribly good
