Notes
Martin Gore explained in the May 2003 issue of D-Side magazine (translated from French):
"I definitely wanted to cover a Nick Cave song, simply because I think that he has proven to be a very talented composer in the last twenty years. Furthermore, I really liked some of the tricks in the Birthday Party era. There were other tracks from them that I would have loved to cover but this was the one that was chosen. I thought I could make an interesting and different version of his song and I think I succeeded. My version has nothing to do with Nick Cave's."
Gore continued in the April 2003 issue of Jalouse magazine (translated from French):
"'Loverman' seemed to be a great song to cover, because it was really very difficult to reinterpret it, since a cover is only interesting if you preserve the original essence of the whole track while reinterpreting it. I hope to get to know his opinion on this cover one day..."
Gore explained how he approached 'Loverman' in the April 2003 issue of Rolling Stone France (translated from French):
"I'm a great fan of Nick Cave since The Birthday Party. At first I wanted to take one of his B-sides, 'Cassiel's Song', but I did not like what we did with it. 'Loverman' is a song that addresses the themes of lust and fate, and I tried to make it a more sensual version than the original. I think I've never sung so loud in my life. I had to bark, really, because Nick Cave does that for me."
