SATURDAY NIGHT DAVID MCCOMB, MOBY, PATTI SMITH.

David McComb with Setting you free, from the album Love of Will (1994).




He was the front man of famous Aussie band The Triffids. Died in 99 as a result of complications following both a car crash and drug abuse.


Moby. That's when I reach for my revolver (1996). It's actually a cover from a 1981 Mission of Burma song.





You can see that from the early days Moby was some kind of nutter.


Patti Smith with Frederick.




I seem to recall there's something tragic with this song (as a non-native English speaker, haven't paid much attention to the actual lyrics, weird though that may sound. Non-native English speakers are always first struck by the musical arrangements, then the text). Anyroad, IIRC the Frederick Smith is singing about was her friend or husband who tragically died. I think so. RIP.
