I've been listening to different versions of The Wife of Usher's Well for a project I've been working on. I really like the contrast between Karine Polwart's or Martin Carthy's versions, which emphasise the sorrow of the song and Bellowhead's recent version which brings out a wrathful, destructive grief.
The Bellowhead version puts me in mind of the myth of the Rape of Proserpina and how her mother, Ceres, ravaged the earth in her despair. It's interesting how the expression of certain emotions hasn't really changed in two and half thousand years.
