Random Track of the Day
Wednesday, August 17 2011
Something very weird is happening. After the original eclectic and downright weird choices thrown up by the Random-o-meter during the first week and part of the second, this week has seen tracks come up by artists whose albums I have already reviewed, some from those actual albums. Spooky! Today is another case of this, with a track from Nick Cave's “No more shall we part”, in fact the title track.
And no more shall we part --- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds --- from “No more shall we part” on Mute
Okay, it's not actually the title track, but it's as close as dammit. There's just an “and” missing, you pedants! As I said, I reviewed this album not too long ago, so if you like this and haven't read that review haste ye to the writeup afterwards! A nice slow but essentially melancholic song, carried mostly on piano but with some lovely mournful violin coming in and really changing the mood of the song.
I couldn't find a YT of the studio version, so we'll have to make do with this live recording.
