Draven's Night. The Cure & The Crow. Wish Sessions (Edited Cure/Crow Tribute Video)

An Edited Tribute Video for the 1994 film The Crow, starring the late Brandon Lee, which has become a dark classic. I felt that it was time to make another mashup video, featuring both The Cure, and footage from The Crow. The Cure contributed to the film's original soundtrack, by making the song entitled "Burn" which was on the original soundtrack release.

The Crow is a 1994 American action film based on the 1989 comic book of the same name by James O'Barr. The film was written by David J. Schow and John Shirley, and directed by Alex Proyas. The original score was written by Graeme Revell. The Crow stars Brandon Lee, in his final film, as Eric Draven, a rock musician who is revived from the dead by a crow, to avenge his own murder, as well as that of his fiancée, Shelley Webster.

While filming during the last weeks of production, Lee was fatally wounded when a dummy bullet, which had become lodged in one of the prop guns, was shot into his abdomen by a blank cartridge. The film was a critical and commercial success after its release, opening at the top of the box office.

The film starts as a murder scene, when detectives carry out a homicide investigation into the murders of Rock Musician, Eric Draven and his young fiancée, Shelley Webster at the hands of local gangsters. One year after they are both buried, A very large black crow, is seen perched on Eric's headstone. Draven comes back out of his grave in fits of convulsions, and adopts the guise of a dark figure with a white painted harlequin face & black eyeliner, and brutally avenges the murder of himself and his fiancee, by hunting down and killing the men who killed him. Already being dead, Eric is immune from physical pain and injury & is hence unstoppable.

The original soundtrack album for The Crow features songs from the film, and was a chart-topping album. It included work by The Cure (their song, "Burn", became the film's main theme), The Jesus and Mary Chain, Rage Against the Machine, Helmet and Stone Temple Pilots.

Several groups performed covers. Nine Inch Nails covered the late Ian Curtis/Joy Division's "Dead Souls".
Rollins Band covered Suicide's "Ghost Rider"; and Pantera performed Poison Idea's "The Badge". The Stone Temple Pilots song "Big Empty" won an MTV Movie Award in 1995.

This track by The Cure, is one of their rare instrumental tracks, "The Three Sisters" from the "Lost Wishes" limited-edition tape, recorded in 1991 and released in November 1993 during 1991's "Wish Sessions". The tape was available only through special order through Fiction Records offices in London. "The Three Sisters" shows how The Cure's pioneering usage of guitar-effects are what makes them a cut above the rest. This track was written by Perry Bamonte and was part of a collection of four instrumental Cure tracks from the tape...

"Uyea Sound" (Porl Thompson)
"Cloudberry" (Robert Smith)
"Off To Sleep" (Simon Gallup)
"The Three Sisters" (Perry Bamonte)

This cassette was also the subject of a charity donation, as all profits from this release were donated to the Portsmouth Down's Syndrome Trust.

I hope this one is ok for you. I have made another Cure/Crow Tribute in colour, but I felt this track was more intense for the film's content, and also it needed to be in black & white. Many thanks for stopping by.

Tribute Video only. All material belongs to its relevant owners. Please support The Cure & purchase official material. In respectful memory of Brandon Lee.
