This culminates, when, after all that’s happened, Kate can be seen on TV in the dead Sal’s bar. Jack switches off the image, and turns, transfixed, to see an indigenous singer stand behind the mike on stage, doing a kind of karaoke version. To emphasise how far out of it Jack is, he sees the singer’s shape through a shot of whiskey. Eventually her out of tune singing, with a few mangled or missed lyrics, gives way to Scott Walker’s version of the song, while Jack’s face, though he’s now a genuine killer, takes on a kind of beatific glow: Lyrics: Lyrics heard during this scene are as follows, beginning with the karaoke version being heard: Once I held her in my arms, She said that she would always stay. But I was cruel, I treated her like a fool, I threw it all away. (The song grows fuller in texture, as Jack cradles and gestures, with a shot of drink) Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand, And rivers that ran through ev'ry day. I must have been mad, I never knew what I had, Until I threw it all away. (Scott Walker’s version begins to take over) Love is all there is, and it makes the world go 'round, Love and only love, can't be denied. No matter what you think about it You just won't be able to do without it. Take a tip from one who's tried. (The last shot is of Jack beaming at the camera in ECU. Cut to black, and after a slight delay end credits begin. The final verse runs over the end credits. It’s now full Scott Walker). So if you find someone that gives you all of her love, Take it to your heart, don't let it stray, For one thing is for certain, You will surely be hurt, If you throw it all away… I threw it all away ... The music then transitions into an orchestral end theme which runs almost to the end of the credits, until indigenous drumming takes over, and then abruptly stops, leaving the last 0’15” of credits to run in silence until the final copyright notice appears.

Co-composers Blixa Bargeld, Nick Cave and Mick Harvey: This team had previously worked with director John Hillcoat on his first feature Ghosts … of the Civil Dead, and they appeared on and discussed their work for that film, on the DVD release. (Below: Nick Cave, Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld as they appeared in the DVD for John Hillcoat’s Ghosts …of the Civil Dead release - see below for career details) The Ghosts … of the Civil Dead DVD release also provided some details in relation to the composing team: Nick Cave: Nick Cave is too well known to dwell on at length here. He and his co- composers Blixa Bargeld and Mick Harvey are well represented on the internet, with wiki listings, their own sites and many pieces of work available on YouTube and other sites. No one who googles will go short of information. Cave has a wiki here and at time of writing an eponymous site here. He was also active on Twitter, had a Facebook page, and for nostalgia lovers, a MySpace page, as well as numerous fan sites. The ‘Ghosts’ DVD provided this brief overview of his career: Blixa Bargeld: The ‘Ghosts’ DVD listing for co-composer Blixa Bargeld was relatively short and more details can be found at his wiki here, while at time of writing his website listing now forms part of the Einstürzende Neubauten site, with his personal biography here. Bargeld’s site CV: Blixa Bargeld was born in West Berlin on January 12, 1959. He grew up in Friedenau, a quarter in the Schöneberg district that was in the American sector. Berlin was divided into four sectors. The Berlin Wall was built around the three western sectors in the summer of 1961 and West Berlin became a walled city, an island city. Cold War: “There was a noise around my generation that aroused fear, a noise which could cut through the sky.” KALTE STERNE (COLD STARS) is the title of a single released by the EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN in 1981. “We are cold stars – you can see us sparkling – after us there will be nothing”. Blixa Bargeld made his debut with the group he founded in April 1980. Among the original band members, only N. U. Unruh and Blixa Bargeld are still involved. Bargeld’s work with the EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN constitutes an essential part of his life. “We can’t play” is the first rule of the game that Blixa Bargeld initiated, begun with a tape recorder, steel and vocals under a West Berlin freeway bridge and developed twelve times over into TWELVE CITIES, which has spread throughout the continents and into the third millennium: Studios, clubs, concerts and theater stages; a HAMLET(-MASCHINE) over the radio microphone; a ½ MAN for Sogho Ishii's camera; site specific performances on Hitler’s Reichsparteitagsgelände (Nazi Party Rally Grounds), in the Mojave Desert, on the roof of an automobile factory in Turin and in the asbestos-free Palast der Republik shortly before its demolition; and through GRUNDSTÜCK and MUSTERHAUS 1-7 on the Internet worldwide. Berlin remained the basic topographical model for the four-story West Berlin HOUSE OF LIES with basement and attic, after the Fall of the Wall the SHAFT OF BABEL in the new center: ISLAND TO GIVE AWAY and ENDING NEW. Scene change. In a hotel room in The Hague in 1982, Nick Cave saw a television recording of an EINSTÜRZENDEN NEUBAUTEN concert: “He was the most beautiful man in the world. He stood there in a black leotard and black rubber pants, black rubber boots. Around his neck hung a thoroughly fucked guitar. His skin cleared to his bones, his skull was an utter disaster, scabbed and hacked […] Blixa Bargeld.” Blixa Bargeld played guitar in THE BAD SEEDS until 2003, the band he founded in West Berlin in 1984, together with Nick Cave, Mick Harvey and Barry Adamson. Blixa Bargeld’s countless tours and trips around the world doubled, multiplied and became entwined. For more than two decades restless passages mounted into contrapuntal dynamics. Changing media. Since the 1980s Blixa Bargeld has expanded his oeuvre as an artist in numerous collaborations, as well as repeated solo events, within all branches of the performing arts. He appears in changing roles and functions in films, radio plays and audio books, theater productions, performances and installations. He is a singer, narrator, actor, director and author, musician, poet and experimenter.
