The Cold Song
There is surprisingly little information about The Cold Song.
Based on the What Power Art Thou? aria from the 17th-century opera King Arthur by Henry Purcell it has some incredible contemporary interpretations.
Here are the three best according to me.
#1 Nanette Scriba
In German.
See it on YouTube.
#2 Sting
Guitar, cello, voice.
See it on YouTube.
#3 Klaus Nomi
A very Nomi.
See it on YouTube.
w/ live orchestra
