True

Can’t remember anything at all…

Sublime. Thank you for putting a much needed full stop after all the quackery

Classic comment!

100% agree man, this song doesn't relate to me personally but a good song isn't about the music all the time.

Well-put

So trueee

or if you look the birthday party era compared to this, needles to say i love them both

What make you think this isn't a murder ballad? It's all the same iconography. I saw the Tender Prey tour, and if he'd played this as the encore, it would've felt like the resolution in the battle for his soul.

@@ThePwebb its an album title, not a musical description...

@@ThePwebb I mean, this abstract song writing is definitely a different style than the more straightfoward storytelling on Murder Ballads. Both great in their own way.

Yep see New Dawn Fades

An artist becomes the art. Its not just an artist, its encountable number of partictles thats feeds and helps your soul growing, both, the wrong and the right way... In this case, its Nick fucking Cave, pure art n artist in its origins...

​@@mv3482aaaaa🎉ąąl

pity about the bad hair dye, but yes he great

+Tracey Redmond Jelly!

My envy is real.

Should have grabbed Nick's hand and reverse the scene!

Was that you from the movie "20,000 days on Earth" then?

.

I now have chills, bless you. I recognize this loss.

May he rest in peace. Stay strong!!

I hope you are doing well and know you have love coming your way x

Sometimes someone can be in such pain. That even the reasening from a best friend can be infain. Leaving the ones behind feeling from time to time almost insane.

damn

Saw them last night and I absolutely agree. I've seen hundreds of gigs but Nick Cave's intensity and presence is totally next level stuff. If anyone is thinking of seeing them live, please do!

@@Nikoych Same here.

Agree, just saw him at Hanging Rock last Friday..

Try going to church. Number 2 . . . Nick Cave.

I wish it was When I went to see him live everyone had LGBT flags everywhere, felt like I was in Sodom. Never went to any live concerts after that one, that really discouraged me.

Just learned

And it’s the best version, they’re all great, but this is the first one I heard, and it’s in my top ten songs ever

That's what I thought!

Rain, wine and Nick Cave...

Rain, the sea, and Nick Cave. . .

Night, Tullamore drew... e Nick Cave

Cold syberian night, Bacardi Black & Nick Cave)))

A dog end from the garden( #quit smoking fails ) coffee , existential sorrow and Nick Cave

As a massive U2 fan who has seen them live 11 times (including in Dublin... twice), I couldn’t agree more. Nick Cave & Co. have not only accepted their being older, they have done so with the kind of grace and class that can only best be described as confidence. That is how they are still able to keep cranking out quality music, from Dig Lazarus Dig down to Skeleton Tree (with some Grinderman thrown in for good measure). While some of U2’s latter music hasn’t been bad, it’s a far cry from their artistic peaks of, say, Achtung Baby (their best, imo), though it’s obvious that, with each recording period, they’re desperately striving to hold onto their relevance. Sad thing is, judging by their ability to still sell out arenas and stadiums, they’re more than relevant; it’s sad, because U2 seems to judge their relevance by how popular their newer music is. The net result is a constant attempt at trying to write music that speaks to the crappy quality zeitgeist of today that’s so popular on the airwaves. If U2 simply focused on writing quality music, regardless if it lands on the radio, I’m more than confident that we could get another Zooropa (their last real edgy album, along with Pop).

U2 aren't a proper band.

I do not agree. U2 still make great artistic pieces that would never be played on mainstream radios.

@@GuadalupePicasso Totally agree with everything you write here. Still follow U2, and suspect that will never change, but their insistence on measuring the value of their music in economic terms (chart placings, sales) has put them on a path where it seems highly unlikely that they will ever achieve anything close to what they did.

well Bono got himself into the Pedo group. his wife even divorced him. Greed and owned is what he is. I tossed all my US in the trash. him and Willem Dafoe.

Sure I listen to his music... but it is obvious this song is a joke ..the guitarist tuning is off, on purpose...everything is wrong about and in this song! as a musician myself I do not share your experience. But I am very curious about what kind of books do you read?

@@MarekMirocha have another listen to his music and think about what jokes are, there might be more to life than correctly tuned guitars. you are not a musician if that's all you care about.

@@glypto-vision8401 you are clearly missing the clue.

Agreed 100%

That's exactly what makes him so amazing, isn't it? He's a storyteller. I listen to Red Right Hand and I am transported to a postapocalyptic and devious world more than when I am playing Fallout.

το ηξερα οτι υπαρχουν πολλοι αλλοι ελληνες που ακουνε μουσικαρες.

@@iliastakidis5771 15 Ιουνίου όλοι εκεί

@@iliastakidis5771 yahsoo, been following Cave and the seeds for 30 years. This song and clip still blows me away when iI see it. Rumour has it that Nick could not be on stage during the intro. The reason he walks onto the set. Dont know why, best ask him. He is the best frontman in the Business.

Επ

Αγαπάμε Nick Cave :)

As always. The bad seeds deliver. Widler the drummer.

Jim Sclavunos is the drummer on this rendition, Wydler was unable to tour this album due to ill health. This is a completely new recording cut live in the studio when filming this video.

But Thomas is perfect, too...

As is the bass, as always. Casey is a minor deity.

100% daccord avec toi!

Wine is only getting better when it's not opened, 'm happy Mr Cave hasn't locked himself up...

I don't agree i VE SEEN the BP. 6 x times. And there was 5 People and a dog. And the bad SEEDS. NEVER where as good. Listen please. Yes i love this song. BUT honestly. Listen. He sounds 90 +. Horrific

No. His voice is terrible

Indeed

So true. He and I seem to have evolved our thinking in similar ways.

Same here, Natalia. I discovered him in 1987 in the film "Wings of Desire."

@@scottcurrie oh. That's late. It was in Johnny suede with brad Pitt. Should check out his book. The ass saw the angel. And the bday party.

Nick cave told me you were a dumbass

so jealous right now

You're so f...lucky. I'm drooling of envying you for that show!!!

Me too in Toronto.

Saw the BP two nights running in Brisbane. Second night was in a disco Nick walked across people's table's in the booths 😂

@@ted-hitchcock lo

Vaughn Abbott every member of Bad Seeds is incredible in their own right.

Look at anything Warren Ellis is involved in and it'll be good. Nick's a bit of an old whaler with a decent turn of phrase but he's never had that really clear spark of brilliance.

What planet am I on where people can write, apparently in all seriousness, that Nick Cave "never had that really clear spark of brilliance" ????? Don't get me wrong, I've loved Warren since 1994 with Dirty Three but get the fuck out of here man. A bit of an old whaler? Does that make you a bit of an old dipshit, or is Nick hunting whales now? A "decent turn of phrase" !!!!! It gets worse every time I look at it, please delete your shame.

@@truefunksoul8638 Oath! Hard to think of another artist with such a numinous eccentricity quite like Nick Cave. His voice, his lyrics, everything... brilliant. Transcendent.

Look at me now is the stunning lyric more !

underrated comment

Yes, me and my dad both love his songs, I don't relate to every lyric fully but the feeling hits me harder than few other artists.

What's he singing about?

Yep they are that good Mate see Glastonbury

@@leebutton1062 will do

probably

Probably one of the darkest days in his life. I really hope he is surrounded by love and support.

Yeah, its so sad, that poor child :( It does sound like Nick's starting to come back, but it was always gonna be a long journey back from the desert of grief, especially with a man as emotionally. sensitive as Mr Cave.

for that distant sky...

The Sun shines only as often as it does Not! that's just a fact... also what I am hearing. Nick Cave is a fundamentalist, and he is not!

Have you ever walked in the sun and feel cold and grey?

i would start pirating if i was you, could get expensive. Just make sure to be at their show when they come that's my motto if i respect and enjoy an artist

Green_Mind You don`t pirate Nick Cave.

that's always how it works. the man is a musical god

Theresa Leclair i still remember that one festival when i had the oportunity to see him on stage. the feeling when he steped out, i remember thinking "man, that's nick cave right there." the memory feels good even tho it was a festival, it was the only time i saw him.

he is electric that's for sure, I loose all when I listen, joe cocker, as well

I can't stop listening to it either. You still listening?

I follow Nick Cave since the middle of the"80 es when people didn't really understand his melody but it takes some years to get in your brain.Thank you Nick

He has never heard of you

Saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on stage for the first time in London in October 1988, three days after he was released from a rehab drug clinic...What a concert !!! After 3 songs, he started to play some "BIRHTDAY PARTY songs...Won't never forget this gig...Saw him again in April 2008 in Marseille...Different times, different music, but still very poweful...Cave was playing the guitar at that time, and he was sporting a moustache as well. The band and him played "Dig Lazarus Dig" album plus some classics...Wasn't so impressed compared to the concert I saw in 88 in London. Would like to see him playing the songs from the last album "Push the Sky Away"...

I completely agree with you for the first comment ... regarding the second comment, I can only envy you for the concert of '88...i was only seven year... I also loved the Birthday Party and in the year 1988, there were just come out my favorite albums of the Bad Seeds ... Tender Pray, From Her to Eternity, Kicking Against the Pricks, The Frirstborn Is Dead and Your Funeral ... My trial (perhaps two of my favorites of all?) ... I also really like the rest of their discography, although there was the period from 2000 until recently that I loved only a few pieces present in those albums. The Grinderman was better for that period! But with Push The Sky Away, where I saw them live for the first time after 17 years of unconditioned love, in my opinion are back to the time that I told you at the beginning ... a total blow to the heart, for me .. .

I actually discovered Nick Cave with the Wim Wenders's movie :"Wings over Desire"...He sang "From Her to Eternity" and I was very impressed. Then I listened "Kicking Against the Pricks", but I wasn't probably ready for that kind of music at that time. The big break came with "Tender Prey", and then I became a fan. This concert in London in 88 was something. I got all Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds records and the 2 Grinderman as well. I am not too fond of "Nocturama", "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Morpheus". At that time, he was a bit stuck with a sort of formula PIANO/VOICE. I don't know if you saw the movies "The propositon" and "Lawless" directed by John Hillcoat, both scripts were written by Nick Cave.

I have also found out Nick when I saw Wings of Desire (I soon realized that he was one of the two guys that I saw a little girl on MTV, when it passed the video of the Weeping Song, but I was 10 years old and those two attracted me and disturbed in the same time, but I could not wait to see them again ...), but I was 14/15 years in '95 / '96 and then when I started listening to his discography the album that I had available are more than you, and initially I felt even closer to albums like Let Love In or Murder Ballads or The Boatman's Call .... then, perhaps also due to the facts that have happened to my life and to my ear for music that changed and grew, I got closer more to the period of '80s...

I have just listened to the tracks he did at "LIVE FROM KCRW", just love it...You also wrote a comment about "Stranger than Kindness" (in my top 5 for sure), written by Anita Lane. So, what is the difference of this version of "Higgs Boson Blues" compared to the one on the album? This one is bit longer (9 min 15 sec), the one from the studio album being 7 min 50 sec. Recently, he has opened his music field by doing collaboration with "The Flaming Lips" and "U.N.K.L.E", 2 bands I am absolutely fond of...

You Too? I cant believe I never heard of this guy either. Love the darkness reminds me of my poetry.

You should listen to all The Bad Seeds' albums. They are all great. Nic Cave is an real artist. In my country Poland Nick Cave has a special unit in a school books of modern art for high schools.

You're American! Yes, that is living under a rock, my friend

Nope Canadian, and living under the good old Canadian shield rock :-).. Just bought the new Nick Cave CD/DVD "Push The Sky Away"and is really good.

He's an Australian national treasure

Agree

IAN CURTIS..!

Leonard? Bob?

Yes. His beautiful boy. RIP.

It's a toss up! Jubliee Street edges it out for me... the finale of that song... "look at me now...I'm flying... look at me now" as the crescendo swirls around - when I heard it live, I nearly wept.

I hear ya! "Jubilee Street" has the classic line "I got a foetus on the leash" which just cracks me up!! While Higgs has: "Mama ate the pygmy, the pygmy ate the monkey, The monkey has a gift that keeps sending back to you"

best nick cave ever?! your crazy, listen to the album let love in, nearly every song on that is amazing. My fav on this new album is We no Who u r

Loverman is definitely in my top ten!

and I have EVERY album thanks!

Same.

I remember the exact scene. Stoned and amazed by this masterpiece.

Well he was a heroin addict

***** good music has nothing to do with addiction

Penny Lane he makes sure His Inspiration Muse never leaves him. and the natural gift talent was just within... since the start. year and years and years ago. Song after songs after songs... A SIMPLE THING really.

The only still unexplored, man's soul..

As an entity, they are healers in the truest sense

let God out of any drugs please .....

no , keep drugs in .. let him show you the way out of drugs

Damn.

+davidallenroth welcome to the deep dark glory of Nick.

+The Mudpit That's fuckin tasteless man.

Benjamin Smith Tasteless? Hmmm.... Was it unintended innuendo?

Love comments like this. I don't even necessarily disagree, I can't rule it out!

And feeling made music

Yes, no doubt you are among the few who 'have a clue'.

Didge no doubt indeed.

I concur

+Igy St. Igy I'm an atheist, yet this song was magical... spiritual, even.
