Rasputina – "Sweet Water Kill (The Ocean Song)" (2002)

2009/05/13


For some reason I was drawn to this song this morning, like the Sirens.

I've been a fan of Rasputina since "Thanks for the Ether" came out in 1996. Their twisted elegance and Victorian themes expressed via cellos in a rock band is very appealing. I studied the cello, so I am biased. Anyone who appreciates anything gothic should definitely check them out. Their sound is unique as are their songs and I have to believe they might have had some influence over some of the Baroque Pop groups of today. (Arcade Fire, I'm looking at you.)

PS: As far as I know this song has no actual connection to Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was the only complete copy of the song I could find.
