Lyrics:
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

2 people , an empty room no special effects. Just their chemistry
❤ sempre...
Simply a Masterpiece.
You forgot the script, director, cameramen and remaining crew
every time I watch this video I feel like I'm third-wheeling so hard
LOL
Lmao very that !
Really? Cuz it makes me feel like they were spying on us and our passionate fantasies while in true love......and....kinda...stealing it for profit..LOL..
@Rafaella Fabiani
You never know what might happen if you didn't keep an eye on them, heh. (They did it all and even more, in a hotel room, right after the record session though, at least this is how I like to think about it. Any ideas as for details? 😉)
annony most They spy us and vice versa and this is how it goes....
These two make me feel like a perv.. specially since I keep coming back to watch them over and over again
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him.
That's funny and very accurate! 😂
Everybody should find someone that looks at them they way they look at each other. I get chills every time I listen this
she kills him in the song.....? So maybe not.
@@GJ-py4xy ...and a less love?
Это точно . Они мощно отразили эту страсть ❤️🔥
Me too
Everybody should, not everyone can
There needs to be a support group for those of us who can't stop watching this
yup. admiration, jealousy, envy. what a video.
Yes, and for those who hate an idea of NC getting old and having settled down with Susie Bick.
I second that 😍
True
I’ll be the president. Not saying I watched it a lot but out of the 17 million views 16 million are mine.
One camera, one cheap set, and a thousand fucking kilotons of charisma, chemistry, and sexual tension.
Jup and we love it
the best comment i ever read in you tube.....
When the product is good, you don't need stuff like dancers, pyros, twerking or the other crap that we see these days..........
Ага а потом как всегда расстались наверное,жалко людей,так быстротечна любовь
and the polish on her nails is scratched. and it's still perfect. real music. not like now. now everything is licked till shine, but freaking plastic in comparison to this gem 💎
The original poster deleted the greatest comment ever made on youtube: "get a crypt you two"
I proudly claim that 24 million of these views are me
Haha underrated comment 😅
i wondered how, dreary
😂❤
And the rest are mine
Charisma is something conventional beauty will always fail to replace.
Well said
They’re pretty introverted which is crazy
True
Friends, this is how the courtship of two vampires begins: they see each other directly in the eyes, dance and sing about murderous love.
Okaaay, that's enough Twighlight for today.
But its TRUE
See the movie ‘ Only lovers left alive’ van Jim Jarmusch
In perfect sight on you
'That girl you have in that merry green land can wait forever you to come home' is such an incredible line
It's the chorus that gets me. When they sing "and the wind did howl, and the wind did moan..." the perfect blend of their voices actually sounds like howling wind.
Why aren't they teaching this in chemistry class?
nice one brother
Because they need to bring there one woman who knows to be a woman!!! Not one unfuckebell lord of war!
@@mafteiovidiu7446 assuming ur a man, a guy or a little boy, what do you think you know about women more than her?
@@keiabnormal I do not know what kind of chemistry teachers do you have it! But I know mine...
Because they teach it in SEX ED classes
you are watching two people falling in love while singing about murder
They were already in love before they ever sang about murder.
Yes, and it is majestic.
The same way, I'm falled in love with a my ex boyfriend in a mortuary
Still a better love-story than Twilight.
All jokes aside, it really is a wonderful love-story. I read about how these two fell in love during/after making this video, their relationship and how the break-up inspired Nick to make another album.
@@ab4845
I read they had never met in person before shooting this video.
Everyone: Look at that cute couple!
The song: He rejects her and she stabs him to death.
Expect anything different from Nick Cave? 🤣
@@MrSwitchblade327couldn't agree more xD
I believe in PJ Harvey supremacy
Y E S.
tell em queen
Best comment I’ve ever seen
It's a fact
Me too
Relationship goals... Both Nick Cave and PJ Harvey are brilliant musicians and they did look absolutely perfect together, the chemistry in this video is astonishing...
that's exactly what I think. Some people think the clip is really poor, but it's not, I mean it doesn't need to be better.
They fit together so perfectly in this video !
Lombard Lou this is one of the best music videos that ever existed
Nick is such a strong character and you barely see him next to her, brilliant video
Murder Ballads is a high water mark for western music. Bravo Nick. This duet and the one with Kylie Minogue are outstanding.
i dont know which one i pick! love where the wild roses grow too
Yes. Kylie's lyrics her insisting on her name are chilling, sad ... this is spine tingling...pleasure.
So many people close to him die young. Anita Lane and Dommartin the French actor, his 2 sons ,father age 53, Howard, Pew etc. Nick is cursed.
@@lucylovicand now sadly his great friend and mischief maker Shane McGowan😢😢
Nick cave has a duet with Kylie minogue? 🧐 And it is a murder valid no less you say??
This song is so beautiful, the mix of their voices is just so heavenly. And the lyrics are so elegant, atmospherical.
Ben GentlySpoken if you listen to the lyrics it's more disturbing then beautiful
Hermetic Kitten It's on a track listing for manic depressives. This is horrible!
Por donde te veo!! Saludos! Disfruta de la canción😊
Qniba Khan a real depressive masks their issues by listening to happy-go-lucky escapism. I don't find this depressing in the slightest.
It's musically beautiful, but I assume you know the song is about murder, the whole album is. Lovely dark album.
Wow. The intimacy between them is mesmerising. It's like watching them fall in love as they sing the song
They Did
That’s exactly what happened
i read somewhere that they were a couple back in the nineties.
Yes, after this video shoot.
she was a girlfriend of Nick Cave for short time
Polly Jean is more than a match for Nick here. Perfection
Yeah! ...
Thank you, I was going to search her
@@danrhodes6910she’s amazing. Many albums. All
Good.
After this song my cat started smoking cigars.
Jesus, they had an undeniable chemistry.
they were having an affair while they were doing this album. and the boatman's call was his album about her.('black hair' and 'green eyes')
darkmistress1980
It wasn't an affair it was a relationship. They actually met on this album and if what I have heard is true the kiss in the video was their first.
It wasn’t an affair as it wasn’t a relationship yet. It’s becoming a relationship... they’ve said in interviews about this video that they don’t me had one meeting before and then this happened.. And then the relationship
two melodic black crows joined their singing for the night's bliss
There are no two performers who are more creatively attuned. I love how they are both beautiful and sexy, but "only In a certain angle and in certain light." The both possess incredible charisma though they themselves are quite introverted.
i love how they caress one another as they sing to each other, creating intimacy, not being afraid of it
Man, it is like the two most beautiful Dark Angels of Hell performing a song together. Fucking beauty!
Hell? No.
“She so beautiful and he’s…there”
If you saw a real Holy Angel you would freak out.
@@stever507 Nah, I would ask them why they let us wreck the world with cars and planes when they had the wings to fly us around the world all along.
. Yeh cost him his 2 sons.
You can almost feel their love
and then you think of the lyrics....
Never has murder sounded so romantic!!!
Two voices one soul. MASTERPIECE
Perfect.
Шедевр, до мурашек по коже!
I always found Nick Cave a intimidating person but I love how vulnerable he gets when PJ is next to him.
perfect couples are never meant to stay together
but they know
The truth was spoken. Thank you.
🌈
Sad but true :'(
They actually had a short love relstionship.
What a load of bullcrap. :D
You just didn't perform well enough in bed, matey, hence her affair. Be a man and get over it!
@@TheFunkloft
Well, you speak the truth also. But! If you're uncertain about love, just speak to your grandma ;)
2023 who's is still listening? What an artist 🎨 👏
2024, ja joku on vieläkin kuuntelemassa.
I sing this at work, it startles the customers (I work in a coffee shop!!!)
2024, just've discovered this pearl
2024 I watch this video monthly 😊❤ 🔪
2024⭐️
The best collaboration ever… for a multitude of reasons. They even taught me harmonies 😀
I almost cried when I saw this the first time. Back then I never really was in love, and I now realise this is what love feels like, this video. Desire, emotions, constant crave for a touch, being close... Just beautiful

Beautifully said. Just beautifully said.
Same except I did cry. Maybe because I was falling in love then. We literally can see them falling, just like what you said. Beautiful song and video.
Fun Fact: This video was shot in one take and they barely knew each other back then! Shows you just how natural is their affection for each other.
hmm i didnt know that
shows how easy it is to act for some !
Is that true?, werent they a couple yet ?
they were a couple i hope it was something beatufull for them.
Google foo says the were an on and off couple for more than a decade and this recording was near the end of them finally breaking up.
So it's 2023.... and this track has everything that modern music has lost... heart soul honesty talent and it's fucking brilliant
Everything about this is just so beautiful. They way they interact and look at each other is insane, not to mention their voices.
PJ's eyes are so beautiful, deep and sad like her voice
Iv'e got to admit that Iv'e become slightly obsessed with this video since first seeing it several months ago
The whole thing is so stunning and beautiful, the music and the presentation
It blows me away every time!!...
It is very awesome
Me too ❤️❤️❤️
It's such a raw video. Here they have such undeniable smoking off the charts chemistry for each other, singing a macabre song, that you forget the topic of the song, just the sound of their voices and are memorized by their passion and admiration for each other in these moments in time and their brief relationship being on the road and the intensity was too much I surmise...
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'Daisy' is a good song by him.
@@SteveMorris-zb1ug i checked out your brother's music pretty cool. I enjoyed "Daisy", I loved "She has a Car" punk sound. He has a tapestry of sound. Nice.
cheers@@Sogonrei
Невероятная химия на фоне простоты картинки и великолепного вокала! ❤
How can jealousy and sadness become so beautiful? 🖤🔪🩸

Killer comment, made me laugh out loud on a train.

Wth 😂
The chemistry between these two in this video is insane.
🖤
Аж мороз по коже. Эту песню я знаю не то что бы с детства, но наверное со студенческих лет, в общем, давно. А вот клип увидел почему-то только пару недель назад, и с тех пор постоянно пересматриваю. Это просто невероятно.
The songwriting talents of Leonard Cohen with a voice that is unique in its depth and beauty, I stumbled across him late, and I went straight down the proverbial rabbit hole.into 40 years of great music that no one I knew had ever heard of. Pure genius.
I just love PJ Harvey. Always have. Her voice is just so rhythmic and calming. Nick reminds of Johnny Cash so much. Just the way he carries the notes in a darkness, but there is a door of escape bathed in light.
Johnny Cash? You absolutely have to be joking!
He reminds me of Herman Munster!
@@quinnsbeach I agree with her. Not the same kind of music but a certain deep soulfulness.
also a bit of cohen i feel
@@johnmacdonald4955 Halleluyah !!!
It's impossible to take the eyes off of her!
This is how great artists fall in love
What a fantastic video! ❤❤
Their voices work so well together.
I love Nick's baritone voice and Polly's voice is soooo sweet 🌹
This music video is one of the most beautiful that I've ever seen. How tragic the lyrics, how brilliant the acting and how poetic the whole. This song makes me wanna fall in love like this.
Some of it might not be acting. They fell in love around this time, possibly in front of our eyes!
Magnetism.
Acting? This is literally where they hooked up. As Nick has said.
Heh, NC is good enough in confusing/intermingling reality and fiction.
there is no nude scenes not even kiss and still the best romantic and sexy video of all time, and this song makes it just Perfect !!!
@Frycek Picek ^ **THIS** ^
Foi a mesma coisa que eu pensei quando vi esse vídeo. E fiquei com tesão ainda por cima.
I had the same impression.. And I besides i got horny
აი ზუსტად რა!!!
Not to be a contrarian but they do kiss at the end
ხელთუპყრელი
Это шедевр о котором будут вспоминать ещё лет через 10...20...в детсве как увидел по телику клип..так и влюбился в песню..
Nick Cave is one of the most deep and moving performers I have witnessed , we are late bloomers to his beauty, his soul, his voice. WOW!!!!!
This is relationship goals.
they broke up
she killed him
O,this is the Dora's goals.
Yep, my relationship goal is totally to get killed by my partner and buried in the woods.
@Miss Yancey You are right, my mistake
they're just looking at each other but this is a masterpiece in chemistry and attraction
Watching this, knowing that Nick Cave & PJ Harvey had never (ever) met before makes it even more special. I envy him. I want her.
Naughty Johnford 🙃
me too😊
Stagger Lee was my introduction to Nick Cave, opened a whole new world of music.
College radio is where you find the best music
I'm only just discovering Nick Cave... damn i love his voice.
Lucky you, a ton of beautiful music to listen to. He's been around for a long time
I heard breathless yesterday and it blew me away , where have i been?.
This is the type of song you can not stop listening to.
The chemistry between them is crazy- good song by the way
Смотрю, как завороженная снова и снова. Смысл песни, сочетающийся с чувственностью картинки, просто вводит в транс какой-то ❤ Почему раньше не знала об этой композиции…
A girl brought me to her house in the French Quarter late one night in about 1996. She put this record on while she enjoyed my company. This incredible record has stayed with me all these years.
Did you get tossed down a well?
Masterpiece
I love this folksong! It's a perfect Un-Valentine's Day song.
1:45 immaculate timing by Polly. How she loves to set one powerful emotion against another.
This might be my favorite music video ever. The sexual tension between Cave and Harvey just oozes right through this.
At the time, it wasn't sexual tension, it was a relationship :D
According to Cave, he did not know Harvey well when they made this video. They had both recorded their parts of the song in different studios and the sexual tension developed during making this clip. That is what makes it so genuine. The relationship came afterwards.
So, did he bang her?
nitroflesh - Yes.
And wrote half an album of songs about her and how she left him . The Boatman's Call is the album.
Two of the most "unusual" looking people in Music, and two who encapsulate the word "Genius" more completely than almost anyone else
The chemistry between them is absolutely radiant. They ought to do another together...
Sort of like where u izzie cmnģ from 😷😃😃
I read this as "They ought to do each other".
@@pizzatime2001 They did!
I always wished they'd collaborated on a whole album together. Their musical styles are very complementary, particularly with their respective mid-to-late-90s material, eg "Murder Ballads" where this song is from, "Let Love In" and "The Boatsman's Call" in Nick's case; "Is this Desire?", "To Bring You My Love" and "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" in Polly Jean's case.
Together they would've created something truly special. I'm guessing their tumultuous relationship issues might have been a hindrance to such a project. I believe Nick was still using heroin and alcohol frequently at that point, and IIRC PJ had severely curtailed her drug use around the release of her third album "To Bring You My Love" in 1993 (which was dramatically different from her first two albums which were pure grunge, and reflected a permanent change in her sound).
@@zonesquestiloveunderworld Harvey was never a serious drug user, certainly not out of control and strung out on the needle like Nick was around this time. As a matter of fact, I have looked and looked yet I can't find a single shred of evidence to suggest she was even using drugs recreationally at any point in her career.
It is simply genius that they could perform at such a high level in a single cut video without any edits.
It’s so intimate and intense, there’s no any other music video like this
PJ Harvey should be in the title surely..credit where its due
I'm pretty sure she was at some point. It must have been changed since then...
@eden williams Couldn't possibly agree more. The song belongs as much to her as to Nick and the Seeds.
Yeah, I see pj Harvey and no credits at all.
YES!
Nick Cave wrote the music and the lyrics.. the Bad Seed played the music.. she was a guest vocalist who is credited as such on the album, single and this CZcams upload.. she has credit, when due.
They're so beautiful .. Magic was made that day 🩵
if there´s a definition of love, i know this is
Couldn't get much better than two heavenly voices in such perfect song
so true!!!!
Heeey
You all love this masterpiece, right?
How can you NOT love this??? And with SO MUCH electricity between them!
I can't get tired of this song...
Celebrating the macabre.... lovingly and beautifully celebrating.
From the comments, this song is apparently quite popular in Russia. Who woulda thunk it? 🤔
What a gorgeous song though. Polly and Nick sound like they were made to sing together. Their voices intertwined is just pure bliss 🥰.
I think this is the most beautiful video I ever seen.
@@cocagnez why are you here?
Can’t we all just appreciate how beautiful and haunting both their voices sound?
Polly Jean Harvey's acting performance is just perfect
Nick Cave, among the most miserably underrated singers/musicians of all time. Period.
Underrated by whom? Be educated before you make such an ill-informed statement.

- Было так: я и Полли понятия не имели, что мы будем снимать. Мы просто решили исполнить эту песню вместе. И случилась такая вещь. До съемок мы были друзьями. После съемок мы стали больше, чем друзьями. И в клипе это заметно. Поэтому это мой любимый клип (из интервью Ника Кейва в Москве, июль 1998).
Пирожок 🤟🤪🌮
Love ♥️
One of the absolute peaks of a music video. One single continuous shot and a powerful chemistry between Nick and PJ. Three years ago, when i was 20, i heard this and Murder Ballads songs. "Henry Lee" turned to be my favorite of the album, and maybe the best song of Nick Cave. I purchased the CD almost a year ago, and it literally blew my mind. It became one of my favorite records of all time. From Argentina, i love Nick Cave.
Hello Argentina.
HOLAAA
Watching these two makes me blush❤
Ma, da bi reč rekel, da bi suzu pustil. Najbolji duet i balada definitivno za sva vremena. 5 za umjetnički dojam, isto za aranžman, isto za .........jednostavno, nenadjebivo! Blagoslovio ih svevišnji, a ja već jesam. Puštam si ih intravenozno.......
Genijalni :D
Milica, can you and do you want to be a my PJ Harvey? I'm old rocker in soul, little crasy academician, free & easy. I'm on my side! Follow me! Zg destination!
One of the greatest and deepest ballads in human history 💙
So painfull sweet. P.J. did Blixas Job great.
Oh my god!! This is so hypnotic!!!!!
One of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard!
What a chemistry!!!!!
We need to feel confondibile with someone than we can have this connection. Love this song❤
I can't stop watching this video, absolutely mesmerising, what talent and artistry.
We're together ❤️🌹❤️

This happens only because they are two beautifull people. May they live a long and still fruitfull life.❤❤
These TWO are such a match ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Nick Cave on break-up with PJ Harvey : "There I am, sitting on the floor of my flat in Notting Hill, sun streaming through the window (maybe), feeling good, with a talented and beautiful young singer for a girlfriend, when the phone rings. I pick up the phone and it’s Polly.
“Hi,” I say
“I want to break up with you.”
“Why?!” I ask.
“It’s just over,” she says.
I was so surprised I almost dropped my syringe."
Perfect.
My heart aches thinking of all the crimes they’ll never commit together now. Think of how mundane the lives of their would-be victims will be without the graceful, nimble fingers of evil reaching to snuff out their persistent flames. All the eyes in the house are dry and laconic now as we gaze upon those we’ll never get a chance to miss. The calls will never come. All units on the Vegas strip will sit idly. The news will become anything but.
Think of all that exotic fruit, now just rusting away on the vine, the banks of phones laying silent by reporters as the news becomes anything but. The WASPy crooked digits that ever so slightly caress the strings of pearl that might of been wrung to cloudy wisps if only there were an outrage to be had.
The civility is spreading to the hearth in every unbroken home, now without our lovers forbidden there to spoil us with their final number, dancing at the end of crusader’s rope.
He ALMOST dropped it.....and that was the reason she left...
@@SneedyKetler Evil? Victims? Maybe that's true for the characters of this song...and Nick and PJ are great taking on those personas...but even as hyperbole, even as a comment intended to be flippant and not serious, your comment is way off base about the essence of the personas of Nick and PJ...and if you knew much about them as people you would not make such a comment
Jan Noga dropped mine, too. Skinny skank. (Not really, I love her so much).
