The coolest/creepiest music video I've seen in a while

I came across this great music video earlier today, and thought it was probably among the best I'd seen recently. The song is "Where the Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue. (Seeing Kylie's name on this was somewhat of a surprise; this isn't really a song you'd expect her to do.)

The only thing about this video is that it's one of the CREEPIEST ones you'll ever see. Here it is:



Basically, the story is that a man has obsessive romantic feelings towards a woman. He finally goes out with her but partway through, he realizes that her beauty won't last forever. He decides to preserve her beauty by killing her with a rock and laying her down in the water (in the same manner as the Ophelia painting by Millais).

Very creepy stuff, but very cool at the same time.

  1. Apparently my copy-and-paste function was on the fritz and pasted the wrong title for the song. It had a rather embarrassing result. Whoops!
