Im pushing the sky away beacuse I have my beautiful daughter, the smartest I would ever imagine, I'm pushing the sky away everyday I feel weak. She is my best gift, I feel precious every day. Every time I ask her what is she thankful for and loved for I hear "YOU MOMMY, every time you hugs me, showers me, give me food, read me a book" I'm dying. Cannot beleve. Its the time I spend with her, the time Im carrying with her, playing with her. It is my quality time. The meaning of life.

It’s hard to believe that such a simple, lyrically sparse song can bring me to tears, thinking of loved ones I’ve lost, while also giving me the hope and strength to face another day. This may be the most perfect song, and this may be the most perfect performance of it. He even reminds me of the power of gratitude, when he thanks the other musicians near the end. To borrow a couple lines, this song is everything I came for and it gets me right down to my soul.

I could listen to Nick Cave forever - then he adds the orchestra and choir - mesmerizing performance!

Great comment, great Nick Cave and his musicians and great your picture, David Bowie and his masterpiece Blackstar

What is ecstasy? Perfection? The ability to touch deeply with the voice? What is catharsis? When comes a moment in time when you think for a short moment, "there can't be anything more beautiful"? I believe this piece in this version can be all of that.

The emotion and beauty of this performance is almost unreal, I'm not even trying to describe it with words. It's beyond that.

In my life, I've almost never cried listening to a song... This time I cried. This time, that was not just a song... And this performance is not from our world. Bravo

Nick Cave is a brilliant songwriter and performer. Always. I cannot think of one song he created that failed .... A magical evoker of deep emotion.

@wolfil8019 4 жыл бұрын

I don't know if you will see this, but, NIck, thank you for the depth of emotion that you have, from the beginning put into all you do. I have listened to you since discovering, sometime in the early 1980s, the first Birthday Party album appeared in the US. That was brilliant, and you have continued to offer brilliant, dark, deeply emotional music that I find beautiful. And you have shared much of it with beautiful videos as well. So I thank you, Nick Cave, for all of the dark beauty you have shared, including this lovely song.
