Nell & The Flaming Lips - The Ship Song by Nick Cave Oh yeah, wacko. You know there are many covers of the ridiculously mellifluous and beautifully-crafted original, a genuine heartstring-puller if you ain't on your guard. I'd not heard this version. Looking at her before she sang a line I was expecting the deliberately fragile, clipped Sprechstimme mumblings of so many of today's so-called singers her age. She actually gets the complete words out, pronounces, emphasizes - qualities lost on so many others. I didn't find it particularly exciting - that would take something exceptional from any cover version of this number - but I get the idea this is how she used to sing it in the shower or while out walking her dog; it's got that 'for my own use only' vibe to it. Yes, sir, I like it.

Yes, sir, I like it. Nell Smith is a 13 year old Canadian. She did a cover of Cave's song The Girl In Amber with the Flaming Lips and then they decided to do a whole album of Cave covers, it was released today. Nick Cave heard the cover of Girl In Amber and had this to say about it.

Oh hey, it's coming back to me. I read something a while ago, and in my memory the band's name now rings a bell. There are just so many NC covers released you get a bit cynical. But this is good. Aged 13, you say? That's something. ...Yes, just checked...'Where The Viaduct Looms' album, the title a line of lyric from Red Right Hand, which is perhaps expectedly included on the album. I kind of got sick of that song. But I'd like to hear The Kindness of Strangers and O Children. I just heard the version of No More Shall We Part, a very good choice of cover indeed. I dig.

Bought a crappy album a couple of years after its release because one song on it endeared itself to you in the meantime? Me too. Here's a cracking version of it, performed very recently. They're very good live these days, you have to say.
