Το νέο άλμπουμ των Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, με τίτλο «Ghosteen», που κυκλοφόρησε την Παρασκευή 4 Οκτωβρίου είναι χωρισμένο σε δύο μέρη.
Όπως είπε ο ίδιος «τα τραγούδια του πρώτου άλμπουμ είναι τα παιδιά, ενώ τα τραγούδια του δεύτερου άλμπουμ είναι οι γονείς». Ήταν γνωστό εδώ και καιρό ότι το συγκρότημα δούλευε πάνω σε καινούργιο υλικό μετά το τελευταίο τους άλμπουμ, «Skeleton Tree» που είχε βγει το 2016.

Ο Cave εμπνεύστηκε να γράψει το “Where The Wild Roses Grow” όταν άκουσε ένα παραδοσιακό τραγούδι με τίτλο “"Down in the Willow Garden”. Το όνομα Elisa Day αναφέρεται σε μια γυναίκα που, σύμφωνα με τον θρύλο, ζούσε στην Ευρώπη την εποχή του Μεσαίωνα και όλοι έλεγαν πως η ομορφιά της συγκρίνεται με τα άγρια κόκκινα τριαντάφυλλα που φυτρώνουν στις όχθες του ποταμού. Σύμφωνα με τον μεσαιωνικό θρύλο, που έχει χαρακτηριστικά των δημοτικών τραγουδιών, την κοπέλα ερωτεύθηκε ένας άνδρας που έφτασε στην πόλη. Τρελός από την ομορφιά της ο άνδρας αυτός φτάνει στο σημείο να αφαιρέσει τη ζωή της, για να διατηρήσει την ομορφιά της σταματημένη για πάντα στο χρόνο

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[Chorus]
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
[Chorus]
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
I left by the back door
With my wife's lover's smoking gun
I don't know what I was hoping for
I hit the road at a run
I was your lover
I was your man
There never was no other
I was your friend
Till we came along this road
Till we came along this road
Till we came along this road

 I ain't sent you no letters, Ma
But I'm looking quite a trip
The world spinning beneath me, Ma
Guns blazing at my hip
You were my lover
You were my friend

There never was no other
I hope you understand
Till we came along this road
Till We came along this road
Till We came along this road

 No More Shall We Part is the eleventh studio album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Μας αρέσει να καθόμαστε τις νύχτες να ταιριάζουμε τις νότες στη σειρά

 I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words. We live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

 Love Letter Love Letter 
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love Letter
Go tell her Go tell her

A wicked wind whips up the hill 
A handful of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way

 Love Letter Love letter 
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love letter
Go tell her Go tell her

 Rain your kisses down upon me 
Rain your kisses down in storms
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in
The rain with a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind

 Come back to me 
Come back to me
O baby please come back to me
