I have listened to Nick Cave’s music for over 12 years, and it is a source of comfort and familiarity for me, but when I lost my grandparents to COVID a few years ago, his music took on a source of grounding sanity for me. I miss my grandparents dearly, and my grandfather would usually get Nick Cave confused with the actor Nicholas Cage. I always thought that was funny. I will always listen to his music, and if I go astray from it, I will always come back to it eventually. Thank you, Nick

I’m currently going through a really tough time in my life, I was lucky enough to to see Nick Cave live a couple of weeks ago in Dallas and bought his book right after the concert. I’m currently reading it and it has helped me comprehend my internal monologue in a clearer way, it made me feel like the suffering was not meaningless. God Bless Nick Cave

I've always admired the way Nick articulates thoughts and ideas. It's so outworldly poetic and beautiful. On another note, I've seen several interviews with this interviewer and I must say, for a MSM reporter, I really like the way he conducts interviews with his subjects. They're very empathetic and lack any agenda or narrative. He just hears their stories and let's them talk, rather, than force his points of views onto to them. Unfortunately, most interviews are about the interviewer jibbering their thoughts and ideas, as to make themselves sound "smart."

"saved me from a life of internal thinking" Thank you Nick Cave for turning your pain into love and giving it to the world and receiving it in return. Here is an excerpt from Steps to Knowledge about dealing with pain and suffering. "The body will have physical pain...but that is merely a sensory response. It is not the true pain that hurts you. The pain that hurts you is the crown of thorns of your own ideas and assumptions, your own misgivings and misinformation and your own unforgiveness towards yourself and the world... It is this pain We wish to alleviate this day... There is no remedy for pain if its cause is beyond you... Therefore all pain must be recognized as the result of your own decision... your own interpretation... You must look beyond [the pain in your mind] to its source... This will give you great strength... Without condemnation, the world is so relieved that it can begin to recover itself... for without condemnation upon the world and upon yourself, the mind is at peace already. (Marshall Vian Summers, STK)

Having lost two children in the last decade, I can really identify with Nick's journey. I applaud him for putting his angst out there for people to feel. I had to do that with my first album. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pspkkqSd2tqUeas.html Now that I am down the healing journey road, the next album is more about seeking the qualities of life that remain to be discovered.

Music has been a huge part of my life since I was a child. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, King Crimson, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and many many others. I cannot for the love of God understand how this guy became famous. I'd leave if he was singing in a local coffee shop. His music is unlistenable.

@margo3367 9 ай бұрын

I’ve never heard him before. I immediately thought of David Byrne of ‘The Talking Heads’ fame. He’s sort of a performance artist, they said he was also an actor. In other words, not a musical genius, but a highly successful artist from the looks of it.

@Edmond347 9 ай бұрын

@@margo3367 Good music grips you, draws you in, makes you want to come back to it, changes you in that moment, or sometimes permanently, always for the better. Cave’s music has none of those qualities, at least for me. Given how broad my musical taste is, hard not to reach the conclusion it’s garbage. Makes me scratch my head wtf people hear that I don’t. Oh well. I am sorry for his losses, however. No parent should experience the death of their child, let alone two.

@nevar23 9 ай бұрын

I felt the same about Leonard Cohen when I first heard him, as well as Tom Waits. But I kept listening, and as I got older something just clicked. Now, they along with Cave (who I immediately loved when I first heard him) are my favorite singer songwriters. So it's all subjective, I suppose. I'm not a big fan of Dire Straits or Miles Davis, but I wouldn't say they're "unlistenable." I recognize that there's genius there, but for whatever reason it just doesn't resonate with me. Maybe it will someday, who knows? Music is magical like that.

@@Edmond347 That reminds me of a story. A world famous violinist went to a train station and played anonymously as a busker. “Nobody stopped to hear him, though he played so sweet and high”, as Joni Mitchell said in one of her songs (one of my favorite singers/songwriters). In other words I think most people have a tin ear, he’s famous so he must be good. Having said that, I think there’s room for performance artists like David Byrne, like Madonna, like Taylor Swift etc. etc.
