  • 2:37 orgasmic!!!!

  • years after years this song seem more "truthly"...

  • Does anyone else think his face looks like a TESIV: Oblivion character...?

  • what the hell's this song to do with harry friggin' potter?

  • @TerryCraig23 it's on the same album as the song oh children. and in order the song that plays directly before oh children :O

  • I'm here from Harry Potter! :)

  • afieromeno... 

  • Daniel Radcliffe has this song on his ipod.

  • @TheGraVideo who cares

  • Nick cave is a creative mastadon! his output over the years is amazing. He tries his hand at all forms of artisitc expression. Does anyone know if he paints?? The guy will go down as a legend in the same breath as dylan and john martyn. AWESOME!!!

  • This has got to be my favorite song off The Lyre of Orpheus. The sense of urgency and immediacy the song conveys is absolutely sublime. The song even sounds like a river ebbing and flowing, building from soft rifles into a turbulent torrent finally spilling and misting over the edge. One of his best written songs, up there with The Carny, The Mercy Seat, and Do You Love Me (Part 2).

  • I never liked Nick Cave. Then I heard this genius "O Children" song which blew me away. I got the album and was very anxious to find out what this guy got. It turned out that apart from "O Children" and "Easy Money" this song was the only song really worth listening. The other ones might be good for someone but definitely not for me. Sorry, Nick, still not a fan.

  • @kustomkure i recently found this album and feel quite the opposite -- each song beautifully shifts and evokes the style and grace that this one so effortlessly hits. give it another listen, i'm sure you'll find another you like [I suggest "Spell", which is right before this track on Lyre of Orpheus] that hits the same height as this one.

    btw, i can't believe i hadn't heard these albums before. inspiring stuff, i've had it on repeat for days.

  • @legendaryconguerist I hear you. But still the other songs are dead to me and I can tell you why. While the three best ones have that trip-hop flavor to it, they move slowly and effortlessly and sound deep and touching, all the other songs have some kind of a rockabilly flavor to them. It's like those 90' songs of him with PJ Harvey and Kylie Minogue which I still hate with all my heart. We all are different, I am just saying that maybe they really are good, but not for me.

  • I just bought the live CD and DVD to this, wow, this one is very beautiful

  • there's a river in my eyes.....

  • This is the best album they've done after Blixa left. And I love how he implements back up singers throughout the album. Beautiful song.

  • @jvpanameno Best since Mick left, too. Never gave Abbatoir Blues a proper listen, though.

  • @ellasar777 Abattoir.. Oops!

  • What's that great photo of them all leaving the cinema from? Anyone know?

  • This song confirms for me that Nick Cave is almost as good as Justin Bieber ... For real yo.

  • @rmsturges247 ...How can you even put the two in the same sentence?

  • @alipali93 Justin Beiber is so cute with his hair and stuff... he totally rocks

  • @rmsturges247 I know opinions differ, and what you like is a matter of opinion, but the day Justin Beiber gains even the slightest bit of talent I will eat my collection of hats. And I have many.

  • @alipali93 good grief I'm joking around, relax.

  • @rmsturges247

    even better than Justin Bieber

  • and people listen to justin bieber... sad but true :))

  • This song is should be 17+ minutes ..

  • but seriously... what's up with the stash, Nick? So glad you got rid of it.

  • @karenchristine9 I think it was so we didn't notice he was balding XD

  • @karenchristine9 He looked so badass with the tache, not a lot of men who could pull it off, but he could

  • hahahaahhahhahahhahahahahahhah­ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha­hahahhaahahahahahahhahahahahah­ahhahahahahahahahahhahahahaha.­..justin biber / lady gagga / all the mtv bullshit XD

  • When I DJed at WRAS-Atlanta, this was one of my favorite tracks off this double disc when it was in rotation. Absolutely beautiful. I have spent hours listening closely to the orchestral arrangements, especially the frenetic piano playing.
