“Where the Wild Rose Grow” Nick Cave ft. Kylie Minogue

Coming back with some artful music that is haunting and endearing.  This song is based off a legend of a beauty falling in love with a stranger.  Elisa Day was the name of the young beauty who everyone in her town called her, “The Wild Rose.”  The young girl met a stranger in town one day.  She became infatuated with him and felt deep feelings for him.  He too felt feelings for her but much darker.  He met with her for three days.  The first day they met and he told her she is as beautiful as a wild rose.  The second day he brought her a rose from the river and gave it to her.  He asked her to come with him to see where the wild roses grow.  She in her naivety agreed to follow him on the third day.  He took her to the river where she admired the beauty of the roses and river.  The young man laid her down kissing her he whispered, “All beauty must die.”  He than crushed her head in with a rock killing her.  Then he took a rose stuck it between her teeth and let the river swallow her body.
