“And I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die”. So beautiful, disturbing and emotional line. Nick Cave have to be the greatest lyricist of the past 30 years.
So many years since I heard this song and I still listen to it enraptured very often. So terrible and tragic and still poetic, perfectly balanced and haunting. One of the masterpieces that will never grow old.
I love the juxtaposition of the last verse "On the third he took me to the river/On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow." Shows how much she trusted him and what he had planned to do all along.
Yes, I love the distinction between the third day and the last day. Every time I listen to the song it is one of the things that sticks out to me most.
I like that in all verses Nick is singing the first part .. but in the last one Kylie begins, because after the murder she could not have sung it after Nick
Konstantinos Papacharalampos ...the very thin edge where the best art is raising. But also another one version of the tale about Red Hood Girl with a fatal hispanic-like inevitable disaster instead of happy ending.
I find those 2 songs show us the quality of her voice which a lot of her popier ones don't manage as well. She's not the best singer in the world but she does have talent. Her sister Dani actually has the better voice.
I know this song since I was a little kid and I had only the TV with MTV and even though at that time I didn't knew English I felt the sadness of this song and now, after all those years I searched and found the meaning of this song. It's a great thing to discover and rediscover a song after years and years. If you feel the same as me I hope you will have a great life ahead!
This song is a true masterpiece. There is nothing that could be changed to make it better. Kylie is supporting Nick's singing while never showing off, or trying to take lead, which shows her true skills as a singer. Nick manages to sing amazingly throughout the whole song. Their voices fit together perfectly. The lyrics and the video are together truely more than either alone. True art that ascends music.
Наверняка, многие помнят клип с Ником Кейвом и Кайли Миноуг на песню Where the Wild Roses Grow (Там, где дикие розы растут)., но мало, кто знает, что в песне отражена настоящая, жуткая легенда. ЭЛИЗА ДЭЙ Жила когда-то молодая женщина по имени Элиза Дэй, чья красота была схожа с красотой диких, кроваво-красных роз, которые росли неподалёку у реки. Однажды в её городе появился молодой человек и сразу же влюбился в Элизу. У них было три свидания. В первый день он пришёл к ней домой. Во второй день он принёс ей одну красную розу и попросил встретиться с ним в том месте, где растут дикие розы. На третий день они пошли к реке, где молодой человек убил её. В руке он спрятал камень, и когда она повернулась к нему спиной, молодой человек прошептал: “Красота должна умереть!” и ударил её по голове. Она умерла на месте. Он вложил ей в рот розу и опустил её тело в реку, наблюдая, как оно погружается в хрустальную воду. Её тело так и не нашли. Прошло много лет, и люди забыли имя девушки, и стали называть её Дикой Розой. Некоторые люди утверждают, что видели ее призрак, который бродит по берегу реки. Голова призрака испачкана в крови, а в руке девушка держит розу.
The lines “they call me the wild rose. But my name was Elisa Day” just makes me think all of those victims who became nothing but a name in the media that people would recognize only because of their horrific murders. The one that comes to mind immediately is the Black Dahlia. Another flower name. A woman who was the victim of a horrendous crime and is now only known through that dehumanizing title
Her name was Elizabeth Short. She was given the moniker “Black Dahlia” to sell newspapers. Honestly, she was exploited even in death. Sadly, “If it bleeds, it leads.”
Elizabeth Short was The Black Dahlia. Sad. Three main suspects, still seems a mystery. Hopefully one day it, is solved. As for Jack the Ripper, some believe it is an American that was kicked out of medical school. His habits included collecting parts for study. He worked as a "Quacksolver" - the medical term Quack Doctor or simply Quack comes from it. He travelled to France, and was in England during the time of the killings. They stopped the week He had left England, never to be seen again.
Such a horrific, tragic scenario woven into an incredibly beautiful song. It makes me think of all the women who lost their lives to disturbed individuals throughout history.
Always makes me think of the Dahlia murder. In the song she doesn't get why they call her the rose as if she has no name and that's basically what the media did in that case.
If it's any consolation, Nick plays the character of a sweet and innocent boy called Henry Lee who gets stabbed and thrown down a well by a scorned woman in the song of the same name :p
@@АннаПресноваВладимировна В озере плыла мертвая принцесса. Она была молода и красива. Тут откуда не возьмись поя вился Ник Кейв и ухватил бабу за сиську. Принцесса ожила и поцеловала своего спасителя....
I used to hear this song sometimes when I was a little girl, I had no idea that it was a murder song, because English is not my native language and didn't know the translation. However, I always had chills whenever I heard it. I'm almost 20 now, but the feeling I used to have still remains with me. Amazing song with disturbing lyrics - always gives me chills.
This is a really dark song about a murder but it an amazin piece of work. Sends shivers down my spine Love when music has this effect on me. Great stuff ❤️
I love their voices so much. Just the two totally different types and ,, colours '' of voices. Nick's is so so so deep. Like he is confessing to us what he did to the most beautifull woman he ever saw. Just like a dark movie narrator. And Kylie's is like a gost's echo, because she portrayed a victim. And it's beautifull how they dressed up in white, showing that white color symbolises youth and innocence because he didn't want to see her beauty grow old, and dissappear.
well, It's definitely one of the best songs about a man bludgeoning a woman to death with a rock LOL, it is an absolute classic though!. it's a masterclass in creative songwriting.
I remember seeing this music video when it first came out, I must have been around 10 or 11. I was sitting on the floor in our living room, eyes glued to the TV screen. I was amazed. I had never seen any thing quite like it... That incredible beauty and eeriness of the video stayed with me for years. It wasn't until later, as a teen, I started listening to Cave, and realizing that I'd always had a thing for the macabre.
TheLovelyCreature The same here. I think I could easily relate with the way you feel. Remember how I fell in love (well, 'got infatuated' fits better I guess) first time ever. I was like 13 or so and 'he' was my classmate. Needless to say it was one of those numerous, early, unrequited platonic 'loves'. I remember me having concocted a long, mawkish poem, inspired/influenced by the story of Ophelia or so, as I believe, in that I identified myself with a virgin girl that commited suicide throwing herself to the river after being brutally raped and 'corrupted' by her prospective lover (must be I desperately wanted someone to 'treat' me like this, but good, these times, lol). Well, childish enough yet I think I have been 'infected'/'afflicted' with this 'macabre thing' since forever as you reported to be. The exaltation and morbidity is kinda intricincly, inevitable part of my imagination I just can't escape. I used to literally hate and avoid tales with happy endings, relished exalted (to the extent of being mawkish and kitschy) stories involving suicide and/or bloody murders, and still hang on this nasty vice to 'torment' my characters/protagonists as I'm writting tales and, of course, while letting my imagination running wild and fantasing. My heroes needs to be 'aesthetical flawless'(not to confuse with aethical) and suffer a whole lot (definitely way way more than an average hunan being is able to make through/endure) before I let them die finally. Oddly enough, now the 'cyrcle' seems to be about to get completed... I was turning 40 and and 'met'/'discovered' Nick Cave whos work seems to embody all my cheap thrills and obsessions perfectly. Plus, I ran across this song that I do really regret not to know as I've been through all this 'early love episodes' and wonder how it's possible it left unrevealed/undisclosed for so long to me or rather how I was able to omitt it... Slap the palm, all you romantics that are not afraid to cross boundaries and move one step further than average Valentines, so said...
lyrics: 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 color 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've 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, "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 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 between her teeth 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 My name was Elisa Day For my name was Elisa Day
It's funny, the way some songs by groups like Rammstein may sound as if they're going to kill somebody and when you read and translate the lyrics it turns out that the song is about love and peace etc., while a song with a nice soothing melody like this one is about a murderous maniac, no matter how romantic all this stuff about wild roses may seem.
2022 just randomly came into my head to play it. Beautiful duet! Who would have thought of these two doing a duet? Bizzare like the.song but it i love it and the video. Great song!
I believe, Zhang Yimou's ''House of flying daggers'' was inspired by this great song. If not, than I tie them together. I love both of these works of art
Gulliermo del Toro should be its director!! I still remember the genius work of make up artists in his "Devil's boneback" and "Crimson peak"! Really creepy but fascinating-looking ghosts of Santi and Tom from Crimson Peak, the blood from their wounds floating in the air.... The same make-up artists should do Elisa Day's ghost, same atmosphere, died hit by a blunt object on the skull as well, would fit perfectly.
учитывая, что песня иллюстрирует полинезийский ритуал подготовки девушки к съедению людоедами, всё верно! только тут не показали, что ей предварительно ломают кости и рёбра, чтобы она не могла пошевелиться и сбежать, а то видос популярность бы не набрал среди обывателей. ну и в конце Ник сжалился над зрителями и не показал, зачем он принёс булыжник. ваш уютный воображаемый мирок - совсем не то, чем кажется.
Вы не правы, это про маньяком, убийц которые убивают женщин, молодых девушек. Одна из версий что у девушек обычно в голове и что у маньяков когда они из заманивают к себе. Я читала книгу, “Serial Killers”, не по своей воле а во время учебы, брала психологию. Узнала столько всего и каждый раз когда читала, думала как всё-таки повезло что не наткнулась на такого. Плакала когда читала, хотела бросить но дочитала все таки.
Funnily enough her fans dropped her when she entered her "indie" phase which includes this song. Irony being she topped the indie charts as PWL was classed as an indie record company.
@@Dermacrosis Not all her fans. I've never been enough into her stuff to go to a gig, too expensive, but I have always enjoyed it, and this in no way put me off. Though to be fair, I *was* only nine when this came out.
@@Trialia I didn't say all, though I should have been more specific in my wording so that is my fault. However all her "fans" that I knew personally dropped her when she went into her indie phase.
@@Dermacrosis it's understandable honestly. Most fans will do that when an artist changes genre. They liked a certain kind of music. 🤷🏻♀️ I personally grew up with The Loco-motion and then loved everything she released in her later come-back but this collab with Nick Cave?! To me it was next level for her. So I can't relate to fans who dropped her but I can still understand, honestly it sucks for them to not be able to appreciate an artist's growth. I respect her for doing what she wanted because she surely knew it was not gonna be where the money was. Sorry that was a rant, I probably just feel elite for appreciating Kylie in all her incarnations but I actually just grew up with more diverse music than most people so it's more luck.
@@Dermacrosis also I'll just add that my experience was the same, I remember showing this to people I knew liked her, thinking they were going to be mind blown but they were like, "uh... creepy." 😐
The music is so soothing. The lyrics are so poetic but the meaning is so dark and sorrowful. This music video is a true example that many a times the beautiful things are not filled with happiness.
I first saw this clip and the song when I was 16y old, now, 25y later at 41 it still gives me shivers, and I shared it with my 13y son. Beautiful song and atmosphere, although it's a murder...
Ever since The Birthday Party, I knew this man has it. He is a master of words whose skill reflects all that is haunting, primal and beautiful. It is great to see how new generations have discovered You. Love You Nick, always have, always will❤
First time listening to Nick Cave and the bad seeds ever.. I was introduced by the song in Harry Potter deathly hollows part I (O children). Then i kept listening and listening.. really great work. Great music all around. Im in Pensacola Florida, USA.
It is a lovesong in my book, it isn't about a murder it is only a methaphorik if it make you feel better about the song. Actually I find the message very important in our time.
@Myrslokstok i personally feel it is a murder ballad. And its message isn't really metaphorical. Its on the album titled "murder ballads" And it seems to draw a slight inspiration from the black dahlia murder.
@@letsrock12345 It is the murdering of his old idolising of women, its is about a man looking beyoond womens cheep trixs and his own uncontroled lust fot physical beuty in a woman. Selfpleacing etc Alizaday is "As light as the day". It is nomoore done in isolation, darkness and fantasy. There are different kind of death, and for the self to evolve some parts of a man have to consiusly be murdured! The rose 🌹 symbolizes the union (true) of the female (flower) and masculin (torns).
@@letsrock12345 I think the title "murder ballads" are methaphorical, on a superficial level its about murders ofcourse, but these wordly things has no deeper meaning. The song is moore a kind of metha level lovesong. Its about a deeper dive into ones selfconsiusness. The girls name is something like Alizaday, wich stands for "as light as the day" to bring to your consius. She is this kind of entety that lives for free in your consius, and he becomes selfaware about his shadow self and worshiping of a iconic objectifying view on woman wish trapps him. Hard to explain this when I don't speak English that well! The wild rose 🌹 stands for the unification of yin and yang forces or (intercorse), the flower part is the female (vag*a) but also beuty part, the stem with its torn (stiff erection fallos) and maskulin part in this story!
@Myrslokstok well, while i personally feel it is about murder. I love your deeper view of it all and the way you find symbolism in it. That is why art is amazing. Because we can all find different messages within. Thank you for sharing your views of the song. I like it!
5 years ago: My mom showed me this. Best pre-first date warning. EDIT (2022): Yeah 4 years into therapy and mom traumatised me enough with her fear mongering that I don't have any kind of healthy relationship with men nor do I date. So.... stop praising her
Сегодня ехала в аэропорт, услышала по радио трек и буквально зависла. И,несмотря на то, что клип видела лет 20 назад-прокрутила в голове почти полностью. Специально в аэропорту вышла в сеть и снова посмотрела. Что сказать-гениальная Музыка и гениальный клип. Можно смотреть и вглядываться в детали, слушать и слышать неуслышанные нюансы. А ведь подзабыла про неё. Клип-в любимые и слушать и смотреть!
I remember when I was about 9-10 years old and we had this old hifi system in the living room for vinyls, CDs, cassettes etc. and my dad had this hobby of collecting music albums. One day he called me and put these enormous headphones on my head and played this song and tried to translate the lyrics from English for me and explain me how beautiful and powerful this song/poem is. Back then I didn't understand it and just went back to my room play with my toys but today, 12 years after I understand why he was always listening privately this song in the corner, with these enormous headphones on his head on every party they had with their friends and ignored everybody.
This a maniac's song, absolutely! He finished her life so easely, even if he would be her "first man" (but it didn't happen)… Brrrrr… Nick Cave has not only sang the song perfectly, but also played the role above all the praises! Bravissimo! The beauty of this song transcends music, it is a poetic beauty framed in a horror tale, we will never have more songs of this type, today the authors and performers are judged and punished for the literal interpretation of their works, as a society we have lost all poetic sensitivity.
This is one of the best duet songs. Kylie's sweet voice and Nick's rough voice work very well in this beautiful song. I've already seen a concert by Nick in Portugal, but I'd like to see both of them singing this song live. I remember hearing the song the moment it came out and it's been 28 years. It was only a few years ago that I learned that the song's lyrics tell a crime story. The music video is masterful and seems influenced by John Everett Millais' painting Ophelia (1852).
Such a sad story and tragic end to the life of the prettiest girl in Ireland at the time. So 😊beautifully retold by the talented wonderful gorgeous Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.
Is this a real story? I know tne song since it came out, but never had paid attention to the lyrics (I am Bulgarian, so English is not my first language). Few months ago I read an article about it on a website named Webcafe and it made me listen to it again. I was like: OMG, that is so creepy! But the article said, that this is just a legend, created to teach the young girls to not trust a strange men. So which is the truth?
“And I kissed her goodbye, said all beauty must die”. So beautiful, disturbing and emotional line. Nick Cave have to be the greatest lyricist of the past 30 years.
Death chant indeed
Indeed
I cried so hard at “All beauty, must die”
Morrissey, mark E smith, Alex turner all streets ahead of him.
But he's still sensational
*Jeffrey Lee Piece* was better imo, & a great inspiration for Cave - & gave him the idea for a murder ballad LP!
Nick Cave is just absolutely brilliant. One of the best story tellers of our time
Heard this today for the first time in years and it’s a still a beautiful song in 2024. The melody is to die for.

@@БейкаКосая аналогично, коллега. что еще переосмыслим?

I used to hear this song sometimes when I was a little girl, I had no idea that it was a murder song, because English is not my native language and didn't know the translation. However, I always had chills whenever I heard it. I'm almost 20 now, but the feeling I used to have still remains with me. Amazing song with disturbing lyrics - always gives me chills.

Same here
From an album titled "Murder Ballads". It's the theme for all songs.

This is a really dark song about a murder but it an amazin piece of work. Sends shivers down my spine Love when music has this effect on me. Great stuff ❤️
Hauntingly beautiful
Ok, if it wasn't for Nick Cave, I probably never heard of this song but I must admit Kylie Minogue did an absolute great job on this
Best song she’s done ……
@@frozennubblets9005 I think "Confide in Me" might disagree.
@dani cali she didn't actually get murdered during the making of this video, she's still alive and well. #themoreyouknow
Strange and magnificent song.
+Philip HENRY Странная и завораживающая. Мне нравится.

Ja jestem!
I love their voices so much. Just the two totally different types and ,, colours '' of voices. Nick's is so so so deep. Like he is confessing to us what he did to the most beautifull woman he ever saw. Just like a dark movie narrator. And Kylie's is like a gost's echo, because she portrayed a victim. And it's beautifull how they dressed up in white, showing that white color symbolises youth and innocence because he didn't want to see her beauty grow old, and dissappear.
Best duet ever! When I first heard this, I was blown away in the most amazing way! 2022; and still loving it! ❤️ from 🇨🇦!
This has to be one of the best songs ever. They both have amazing voices.
well, It's definitely one of the best songs about a man bludgeoning a woman to death with a rock LOL, it is an absolute classic though!. it's a masterclass in creative songwriting.
It's so southern gothic. The music, the visuals, the lyrics
Обожаю Ника. Вдвоем с Кайли они великолепны!!!
Согласна!❤❤❤
I remember seeing this music video when it first came out, I must have been around 10 or 11. I was sitting on the floor in our living room, eyes glued to the TV screen. I was amazed. I had never seen any thing quite like it... That incredible beauty and eeriness of the video stayed with me for years. It wasn't until later, as a teen, I started listening to Cave, and realizing that I'd always had a thing for the macabre.
I worked on this video - I did the online edit (back in the 1990s). It was probably the most beautifully-shot thing I've ever worked on.
and religious.
mate thats amazing
ME TOO! I REMEMBERED THIS JUST 5 MINUTES AGO AND SEARCHED FOR IT. I HAD A HAZY MEMORY OF WATCHING THIS AS A KID TOO, AND IT NEVER LEFT ME
TheLovelyCreature The same here. I think I could easily relate with the way you feel. Remember how I fell in love (well, 'got infatuated' fits better I guess) first time ever. I was like 13 or so and 'he' was my classmate. Needless to say it was one of those numerous, early, unrequited platonic 'loves'. I remember me having concocted a long, mawkish poem, inspired/influenced by the story of Ophelia or so, as I believe, in that I identified myself with a virgin girl that commited suicide throwing herself to the river after being brutally raped and 'corrupted' by her prospective lover (must be I desperately wanted someone to 'treat' me like this, but good, these times, lol). Well, childish enough yet I think I have been 'infected'/'afflicted' with this 'macabre thing' since forever as you reported to be. The exaltation and morbidity is kinda intricincly, inevitable part of my imagination I just can't escape. I used to literally hate and avoid tales with happy endings, relished exalted (to the extent of being mawkish and kitschy) stories involving suicide and/or bloody murders, and still hang on this nasty vice to 'torment' my characters/protagonists as I'm writting tales and, of course, while letting my imagination running wild and fantasing. My heroes needs to be 'aesthetical flawless'(not to confuse with aethical) and suffer a whole lot (definitely way way more than an average hunan being is able to make through/endure) before I let them die finally. Oddly enough, now the 'cyrcle' seems to be about to get completed... I was turning 40 and and 'met'/'discovered' Nick Cave whos work seems to embody all my cheap thrills and obsessions perfectly. Plus, I ran across this song that I do really regret not to know as I've been through all this 'early love episodes' and wonder how it's possible it left unrevealed/undisclosed for so long to me or rather how I was able to omitt it... Slap the palm, all you romantics that are not afraid to cross boundaries and move one step further than average Valentines, so said...
lyrics:
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 color 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've 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, "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
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 between her teeth
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
My name was Elisa Day
For my name was Elisa Day
You who post lyrics in comments are the real MVP.
Отличный перевод
Is this song about necrophilia ?
Thanks!
thanks
It's funny, the way some songs by groups like Rammstein may sound as if they're going to kill somebody and when you read and translate the lyrics it turns out that the song is about love and peace etc., while a song with a nice soothing melody like this one is about a murderous maniac, no matter how romantic all this stuff about wild roses may seem.
thats art
Рина Скарамуш I love that. the fact that you can assume something just by how it sounds, but then it turns out to be so different.
baneoftheoblivion yes me too
ameroffsky I read somewhere that Cave had a crush on her and wanted to kill her in a song.
ameroffsky the vid was inspired in the paint "Ophelia" by John Everett Millais.
Haunting voices and lyrics. 🥀
2022 just randomly came into my head to play it. Beautiful duet! Who would have thought of these two doing a duet? Bizzare like the.song but it i love it and the video. Great song!
This song should be made into a feature length film.
I believe, Zhang Yimou's ''House of flying daggers'' was inspired by this great song. If not, than I tie them together. I love both of these works of art
Gulliermo del Toro should be its director!! I still remember the genius work of make up artists in his "Devil's boneback" and "Crimson peak"! Really creepy but fascinating-looking ghosts of Santi and Tom from Crimson Peak, the blood from their wounds floating in the air.... The same make-up artists should do Elisa Day's ghost, same atmosphere, died hit by a blunt object on the skull as well, would fit perfectly.
definitely, but instead the white rose, should be called black dahlia instead

учитывая, что песня иллюстрирует полинезийский ритуал подготовки девушки к съедению людоедами, всё верно! только тут не показали, что ей предварительно ломают кости и рёбра, чтобы она не могла пошевелиться и сбежать, а то видос популярность бы не набрал среди обывателей. ну и в конце Ник сжалился над зрителями и не показал, зачем он принёс булыжник.

Вы не правы, это про маньяком, убийц которые убивают женщин, молодых девушек. Одна из версий что у девушек обычно в голове и что у маньяков когда они из заманивают к себе. Я читала книгу, “Serial Killers”, не по своей воле а во время учебы, брала психологию. Узнала столько всего и каждый раз когда читала, думала как всё-таки повезло что не наткнулась на такого. Плакала когда читала, хотела бросить но дочитала все таки.

the moment when you realize you've heard that song long long ago and really loved it. and then the moment your read the lyrics ... :)
Great great song and, Kylie is like an angel. She's so beautiful.
Funnily enough her fans dropped her when she entered her "indie" phase which includes this song. Irony being she topped the indie charts as PWL was classed as an indie record company.
@@Dermacrosis Not all her fans. I've never been enough into her stuff to go to a gig, too expensive, but I have always enjoyed it, and this in no way put me off. Though to be fair, I *was* only nine when this came out.
@@Trialia I didn't say all, though I should have been more specific in my wording so that is my fault.
However all her "fans" that I knew personally dropped her when she went into her indie phase.
@@Dermacrosis it's understandable honestly. Most fans will do that when an artist changes genre. They liked a certain kind of music. 🤷🏻♀️ I personally grew up with The Loco-motion and then loved everything she released in her later come-back but this collab with Nick Cave?! To me it was next level for her. So I can't relate to fans who dropped her but I can still understand, honestly it sucks for them to not be able to appreciate an artist's growth. I respect her for doing what she wanted because she surely knew it was not gonna be where the money was.
Sorry that was a rant, I probably just feel elite for appreciating Kylie in all her incarnations but I actually just grew up with more diverse music than most people so it's more luck.
@@Dermacrosis also I'll just add that my experience was the same, I remember showing this to people I knew liked her, thinking they were going to be mind blown but they were like, "uh... creepy." 😐
What a haunting and beautiful masterpiece
The music is so soothing. The lyrics are so poetic but the meaning is so dark and sorrowful. This music video is a true example that many a times the beautiful things are not filled with happiness.
Kylie really looks beautiful in this video.
Yes😅
Is there one she doesn’t!
I first saw this clip and the song when I was 16y old, now, 25y later at 41 it still gives me shivers, and I shared it with my 13y son. Beautiful song and atmosphere, although it's a murder...
Ever since The Birthday Party, I knew this man has it. He is a master of words whose skill reflects all that is haunting, primal and beautiful. It is great to see how new generations have discovered You. Love You Nick, always have, always will❤

First time listening to Nick Cave and the bad seeds ever.. I was introduced by the song in Harry Potter deathly hollows part I (O children). Then i kept listening and listening.. really great work. Great music all around. Im in Pensacola Florida, USA.
The most romantic non-love song ever made
It is a lovesong in my book, it isn't about a murder it is only a methaphorik if it make you feel better about the song. Actually I find the message very important in our time.
@Myrslokstok i personally feel it is a murder ballad. And its message isn't really metaphorical.
Its on the album titled "murder ballads"
And it seems to draw a slight inspiration from the black dahlia murder.
@@letsrock12345
It is the murdering of his old idolising of women, its is about a man looking beyoond womens cheep trixs and his own uncontroled lust fot physical beuty in a woman. Selfpleacing etc
Alizaday is "As light as the day". It is nomoore done in isolation, darkness and fantasy.
There are different kind of death, and for the self to evolve some parts of a man have to consiusly be murdured!
The rose 🌹 symbolizes the union (true) of the female (flower) and masculin (torns).
@@letsrock12345
I think the title "murder ballads" are methaphorical, on a superficial level its about murders ofcourse, but these wordly things has no deeper meaning.
The song is moore a kind of metha level lovesong. Its about a deeper dive into ones selfconsiusness.
The girls name is something like Alizaday, wich stands for "as light as the day" to bring to your consius.
She is this kind of entety that lives for free in your consius, and he becomes selfaware about his shadow self and worshiping of a iconic objectifying view on woman wish trapps him.
Hard to explain this when I don't speak English that well!
The wild rose 🌹 stands for the unification of yin and yang forces or (intercorse), the flower part is the female (vag*a) but also beuty part, the stem with its torn (stiff erection fallos) and maskulin part in this story!
@Myrslokstok well, while i personally feel it is about murder. I love your deeper view of it all and the way you find symbolism in it.
That is why art is amazing. Because we can all find different messages within.
Thank you for sharing your views of the song. I like it!
I am planning to play this song at my funeral. Just for the craic. But unfortunately won't see the mourners faces. Love this.
the text is crazy and at the same time incredibly poetic ... a luxurious thing
What’s so poetic about a psycho murderous fruit loop?
What a gift to the world this song is.It just gets better with age.Hauntingly beautiful.thank you Kylie & Nick
можливо я вже писав це раніше, але: дякую за те, що я можу це слухати

I remember when I was about 9-10 years old and we had this old hifi system in the living room for vinyls, CDs, cassettes etc. and my dad had this hobby of collecting music albums. One day he called me and put these enormous headphones on my head and played this song and tried to translate the lyrics from English for me and explain me how beautiful and powerful this song/poem is.
Back then I didn't understand it and just went back to my room play with my toys but today, 12 years after I understand why he was always listening privately this song in the corner, with these enormous headphones on his head on every party they had with their friends and ignored everybody.

In this world,there is nothing,just nothing ,as beautiful as a Woman :)
Art try's, but ultimately fails.
Omg!! Dont belive! I found this song after 7 years! Finally! Such a explode for my ears! :)
This a maniac's song, absolutely! He finished her life so easely, even if he would be her "first man" (but it didn't happen)… Brrrrr… Nick Cave has not only sang the song perfectly, but also played the role above all the praises! Bravissimo!
The beauty of this song transcends music, it is a poetic beauty framed in a horror tale, we will never have more songs of this type, today the authors and performers are judged and punished for the literal interpretation of their works, as a society we have lost all poetic sensitivity.
You are aware this is based on a true story?
This is one of the best duet songs. Kylie's sweet voice and Nick's rough voice work very well in this beautiful song.
I've already seen a concert by Nick in Portugal, but I'd like to see both of them singing this song live.
I remember hearing the song the moment it came out and it's been 28 years.
It was only a few years ago that I learned that the song's lyrics tell a crime story.
The music video is masterful and seems influenced by John Everett Millais' painting Ophelia (1852).
O nome do album é "murder ballads" Todas as músicas são divinais! ❤

Such a sad story and tragic end to the life of the prettiest girl in Ireland at the time. So 😊beautifully retold by the talented wonderful gorgeous Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.
Is this a real story? I know tne song since it came out, but never had paid attention to the lyrics (I am Bulgarian, so English is not my first language). Few months ago I read an article about it on a website named Webcafe and it made me listen to it again. I was like: OMG, that is so creepy! But the article said, that this is just a legend, created to teach the young girls to not trust a strange men. So which is the truth?
