The Beautiful South - Woman In The Wall

Live 2005 in Dalby Forest

[@garethedwards1926]

The juxtaposition between the macabre lyrics and incongruously buoyant instrumentation blows my very tiny mind. I first heard the entire album - Welcome to the Beautiful South - on the way home to Pietermaritzburg from an Elton John concert in Johannesburg in 1993, and it made everything Elton had done seem rather mediocre. I'll be thinking about that night all day now and I'm already miserably happy.

Darkest song ever ... and the crowd knows every word

[@jorgbuchs2151]

That brings tears to my eyes. Thank God there are more people like me. Great music and very black humor.

[@msmacker13]

I love how they make the most cruesome morbid lyrics sound so upbeat

You just can’t beat a good murder ballad.🤣

One of my all time faves. Thanks TBS

[@famousgrouse1966]

Brianna had a beautiful voice to go with Pauls. I thought it could never be bettered, then along came Jacqui. We have been spoilt with the music and lyrics produced by the BS over the years.

[@ruthbond9860]

A great song, really tells a story.

[@larrywalsh7606]

Cleverest song of all time

[@drazenbabich]

That chorus is symphony choir worthy. Absolutelly unf*ckable!

[@TheScunneredMan]

An 11 out of 10 number.
