Henry Lee - Nick Cave & PJ Harvey (White Room)

This song was performed after Stagger Lee (see my channel) on Mark Radcliffe's "White Room" in 1996. (Notice the "pink and chipped" nail polish on Nick's fingernails.)

[@vidaltriano1599]

I would give to them a chemistry nobel prize for this way to look each other

[@gonzalezfernandezmercedesg1968]

i love them, i love you now jajaj

[@stephaniepace3176]

They actually dated pretty much sure he married her

[@ziggy.stardust]

he didnt, but yes they dated

[@davidgriffiths7215]

They were an item at the time this was recorded.

[@harmonichighways]

They actually was intensely in love here. They locked them self inside Nicks house for months, probably takikng drugs. It ended.

They look like a couple of human ravens. I love them.

Cave and Harvey make a gothic murder ballad sound like a touching love song as only they can!!

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

Also, this is one of the all-time best male-female duets ever recorded and performed!

[@eliflokman7016]

the chemistry between them was undeniably strong ..

[@brianwilliams9462]

They were together for a bit but fell apart largely because of Cave's drug problems. The Boatman's Call was largely about her. Maybe the most musically brilliant couple ever while it lasted

[@GuardaGuada]

I wish they had a kid. If they had that kid would be the most talented kid ever

[@PolarBear-rc4ks]

[@Sir_William_Marshal]

It all worked out for Nick in the end because he met and fell in love with Susie shortly after the breakup with PJ and they are still married today

[@jimmcilwaine7081]

i dont think i,ve seen two more people more suited than them great voices excellent beyond words

[@powerkat3]

yea me too, every time i watch the video! but the one that really gets me is the studio version. i think it's because they were really into each other when they made the video, and you can tell, and deep down, don't we all want to love, and be loved, by someone that much?!

[@Subraumdings]

After the official Video, this was the second time I fell in love with PJ Harvey 😍

This is very old traditional British (and American) Ballad. Dylan, Peggy Seeger, NLCR and many others have recorded it, too. Nice to hear timeless music still being performed in the "modern" age. They do a creditable job on their arrangement.

"You won't find a girl in this damm world".......and the wind did blow..... Oh that Henry Lee.....

[@elizabethhann4028]

[I'm paraphrasing Lee Hazlewood's gloss on "Jackson" here]: Q: Is "Henry Lee" really a love song? A: If love rides a white horse and votes the straight pacifist ticket, the answer is no...but if love is death and death is love and agony is ecstasy and melancholy's sweet...then yeah!

[@katscy]

Any chance you remember the source? No luck googling it of course because you paraphrased it but I'd love to hear/read it!

[@elizabethhann4028]

@@katscy Thanks so much for writing to me. The original source was something that Lee Hazlewood said, semi-facetiously, on the back cover of the famous NANCY & LEE album, from 1968. In response to the hypothetical question, 'Is "Jackson" really a love song?', Lee wrote, 'If love rides a white horse and votes the straight pacifist ticket, the answer is no...but if love is an everyday thing...good and bad...up and down...sad and happy...warm and warmer...then yeah!!!" I was just doing a little riff on that. You can see a picture of the album-cover with Hazlewood's original comment here: images.45worlds.com/f/ab/nancy-sinatra-and-lee-hazlewood-reprise-ab.jpg I love Lee Hazlewood. I don't really know if Nick Cave considers Hazlewood to be an inspiration, but I do know that Blixa Bargeld and Rowland S. Howard loved Lee Hazlewood too. Blixa Bargeld covered Hazlewood's "Sand" (see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ_Yk3p-f9Jol8k), and Rowland S. Howard and Lydia Lunch covered Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning" (see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHPHfGqGj7h2rtk&spfreload=10). Do you like Blixa? Or Rowland? Or do you just like Nick? I love them all.
