Brandi Carlile and Marilyn Manson have crossed paths in matchmaker heaven, and have decided to work together on a new Judy Garland cover.

In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Carlile revealed the two artists are planning a duet of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" after Manson caught one of Carlile's recent performance.

"He's been texting me about it," she said. "I did a show where I did all of Blue, by Joni Mitchell, at Disney Hall in L.A. He came, and he cried so hard. He had all his makeup down his face, and turns out he's the biggest Joni Mitchell fan on the face of the planet."

Whether or not the song will appear on Manson's new "masterpiece" record remains unclear.
