Song of the Day

"Straight to You" by Nick Cave.

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and a cranky mood. And I thought, "no, this is like one of Nick Cave's happiest songs, this won't do at all." So I fired up youtube and listened to all the Nick Cave sad ones. "Weeping Song", "Nobody's Baby", "Henry Lee", "Where the wild roses grow". But I kept coming back to this one. Straight to him, as it were. On a separate note, how did things not work out with him and PJ Harvey? Does the world have a more perfect couple?

I never thought of Where The Wild Roses Grow as sad before, but I suppose it is. It's creepy, in a sort of Jane Eyre-ish way, but so pretty.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.

You do know he kills her at the end, right?

And in Henry Lee she kills him.

Not bad, he's no Robin Thicke though...

I thought Spike Jonze and Sophia Coppola were the perfect couple, too. That didn't work out either.

Yeah, I liked them a lot too. But this is more like Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese.

Sure, that's what makes it creepy. I guess it's just, if she's been dead long enough for the town to have given her ghost a name (that isn't hers), the sad part has passed?

Hahahahaha. Good point.
