Dominique Issermann – the most mystical and tender eye – The Vampire's Wife

Dominique has worked with Susie for many years and taken the most beautiful and iconic pictures of her in existence.

She took the extraordinary photo for Nick Cave’s Push The Sky Away album, but we all agree here at The Vampire’s Wife that her most transcendent shot of Susie was called Susie In The Mirror. No set-up, in natural light, curlers still in her hair – a momentary but eternal glance into the mirror.

DOES THE SNOW LOVE THE TREES?

I’m sitting at the window and watching the sun spill across the courtyard and things seem suddenly full of potential and hope and good cheer. Goodbye Winter, Sweet Spring is here as I remember the beautiful words of Lewis Carroll.

GOD WALKS THESE DARK HILLS

Here is a beautiful, stripped back version of the old Gospel standard God Walks the Dark Hills sung by singer-songwriter Iris DeMent. Both comforting and strangely haunting in its imagery, this song was suggested by Edward from Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Thank you, Edward and thank you, Iris, for this gorgeous rendition.

SAUDADE FROM CARLOS PAREDES

This song came through to us from a man called Ricardo from Coimbra in Portugal. This gorgeous song by Carlos Paredes is full of saudade and longing for home. Carlos Paredes is considered to be the greatest Portuguese guitar player of all time. Such a deep and lovely instrument, such a wonderful song, so beautiful rendered. Thank you, Ricardo for sending this wonderful song.
