Nick Cave and Debbie Harry have a new cover of On the Other Side, the first single from the new collection The Task Has Overwhelmed Us. It’s the fourth volume in the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project series, which presents new interpretations of songs by the late mind behind the Gun Club. They’re joined on the song by Cypress Grove, Warren Ellis, and Guido Benigni.

It’s the fourth duet from Cave and Harry for this series following Free to Walk on 2009’s We Are Only Riders, The Breaking Hands” from 2012’s The Journey Is Long, and Into the Fire from 2014’s Axels and Sockets.

“He genuinely cared about other people,” Cave said of Pierce in a recent interview . “He was very genuine. And you know, I loved him very much. And I think he was a great songwriter.”

Debbie Harry added, “He had a good heart… and, you know, it’s surprising how great his lyrics were, how original they were.”
