From the depths (of my external hard drive) - The Pastels - Nothing to be done

"When I was young
I used to sing
I didn't care for anything
When I was young I used to sing
I didn't care for anything
Simply nothing to be done
Tell me I'm the only one..."  
  

The Pastels - Nothing To Be Done 

The Hanged Man

by Dave McKean

Last week I saw Batman Begins
which reminded me I have a borrowed copy of Arkham Asylum somewhere on a shelf
which has beautiful albeit creepy illustrations by Dave Mckean
which brought to memory the picture above
which in turn made me think of this song.

Nirvana - They Hung Him On a Cross (Demo Version 1989)
*I don't know if we can call it a Leadbelly cover, but it's an American folk song and the first recorded version that exists of it (1945) belongs to Leadbelly; in fact, Cobain apparently planned to record this for a Leadbelly tribute album
