I’m a big fan of Nick Cave and the bad seeds, Boys next door, The Birthday Party and Grinderman. I just did a review on The Birthday Party’s first album. It would mean a lot if you all checked it out. thenewmusiccollective.blogspot.com/
Everything from this double album is genius, but this just about tops it all (although O Children is incredible). Nick Cave really is a master at his craft
the other worldly presence and baritone of jim morrisson, the lyrics like leonard cohen, the cool strangeness of tom waits, the bad-ass rock n' roll image of lou reed and johnny cash. nick cave has it all.
I thought I knew the best of the best Nick Cave, having haunted You Tube for two years and then purchased what I believed was the best Nick I could get. I love what I have -- but now (out of nowhere really I find this song) Every time it is new. His words always make me cry.
You race naked through the wilderness You torment the birds and the bees You leapt into the abyss, but find It only goes up to your knees I move stealthily from tree to tree I shadow you for hours I make like I'm a little deer Grazing on the flowers Everything is collapsing, dear All moral sense has gone It's just history repeating itself And babe, you turn me on
Like an idea Like an Atom bomb We stand awed inside a clearing We do not make a sound The crimson snow falls all about Carpeting the ground Everything is falling, dear All rhyme and reason gone It's just history repeating itself And, babe, you turn me on Like an idea Like an Atom bomb
So wonderful <3

Am I grateful that I discovered Nick Cave. He's not big where I live. So annoying to think I might never have stumbled upon him at all.

Stay by me, stay by me
You are the one, my only true love
The butcher bird makes it's noise
And asks you to agree
With it's brutal nesting habits
And it's pointless savagery
Now, the nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
And the other down your panties
