Nick Cave + Kylie Minogue - Death is not the end

[peteragain]

Good to see Brian Ferry , quite unexpected!

[drysift]

Am I the only one that thinks Nick Cave is overrated garbage? Everything he touches reminds me of a crusty nursing home.

[TalonsOfFire]

was Shane doing that on purpose, or was he actually that high/drunk?

[binarystar21]

@TalonsOfFire

Dude....it's Shane.....he WAS that drunk.

[SupineServant]

God bless this motley farrago of savants and their desultory, musically metaphysical shamblings.

[laineystevens]

If I died and they played this tune at my funeral, I would trun in my grave and come back to haunt the people who chose to play it. This AWFUL in my opinion.

[keil92]

They all look stoned/drunk out of their mind.

[bristolcityifcation]

what a fucking tune and what a line up !!! when i die please kylie will you be there singing for me !! you look so fucking sexyyyyyyyyyy

[sheepgate1]

Death is not an ending but a transition. Mistaken we believe we are physical beings on this earth having an occasional spiritual experience . I believe we are spiritual beings, we enter this gift called life through birth and we leave it through death to continue our spiritual journey,we don't know exactly what that journey will look like, but we trust God.

[Hockeyvalley]

@sheepgate1

I am an atheist, but I simply love the song because its so catchy :))

[Friedegger]

Snot the end! Snot the end!

[adamasso]

NICK, KYLIE, BLIXA, SHANE I MICK HARVEY... CHCIALBYM BY TO PUSCILI NA MOIM POGRZEBIE, GENIALNE...

[happyjessus]

who are all these guys?

[haveyounoshamemate]

Nick Cave looks a lot like Vincent by Tim Burton.

[MrGiratina999]

If death is not the end, why all the long fucking faces?

[madblunted]

Kylie minogue looks like she should not be hanging around these bums. Lol

[matavino]

blixa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[supar2100]

the soundtrack of a zombie apocalypse

[roberreesq]

Beauty and the beast

[selenanguyen89]

@roberreesq you are so funny ;)

[kiedisisgreat]

@roberreesq that is one charmingly poetic beast.

[alos1451]

blixa b.

[steveascension1]

Kylie was a perfect singing choice by nick.

Well done

[xXneleTHEkreleXx]

Who's the guy who starts singing after Shane?

[RobbNL]

@xXneleTHEkreleXx Blixa Bargeld, former with Einsturzende Neubauten

[xXneleTHEkreleXx]

@RobbNL Cant believe i didnt reckognize him.

[undeadrising2]

what happend to pj harvy

[elem101]

there's a really similar song written in hungary in the 60's:

watch?v=6NbXt9ubrUU

It's a bit eerie, i doubt Dylan knew about it, and still it seams really similar to Death is not the end.

[nonsenseamigo]

Kylie is awful in this song - I like her, but she can't sing songs like this one. Shane MacGowan rules!!!

[TheEmpress666]

YEAH Shane McGowan! Amazed he's still alive!

Mind you, same can be said of Nick Cave.

:D Great trio!

[MultiFartattack]

notice at the very end how kylie almost nose dives off the stage to get away from shane mc gowan, brilliant!! :D

[PinkGuitarWoman]

Fucken awesome 

[Billyontheroad]

Most Bob-Dylan-songs are best performed by the greatest of all songwriters himself. But this one's an exeption: It's just amazing how this odd couple fills it with its brilliant art.

[cdpiotr]

When you're sad and when you're lonely And you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end

[cdpiotr]

When you're sad and when you're lonely And you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end And all that you held sacred Falls down and does not mend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end

[metalkeith13]

holy fuck shane macgowan that bloody auld drunk this is awsome

[pdenman]

thanks for uploading this, not seen it before... it sent mega goose-pimples down my arms! great version of a great song :)

[FugazStar]

my only complain about this song is that it's too short. Just like life :|

[HelmstanMinor]

god save shane mc gowan - keep em away from alcohol

[Luisaaaaa1996]

I love Kylie!!!!

[stockpickeraem]

I love this damn song somebody should download and post Dax Riggs (ex-Acid Bath) version. Its just as powerful and chilling.

[sannys75]

shane is never drunk, he is always prepared

[Mazurka1001]

Shane indeed: was this some benefit concert? A random jamboree? Pretty cool shit.

[vocotadyde]

Can´t get this song outta my head!.......sssnot the end...

[miguelcontrol]

just remember death is not the end...

[Siste4366]

52 people got no heart!!! Surely you cannot compare Nicks work, especially the GENIOUS album "From her to eternity" or the second one.Not to speek of THE BIRTHDAY PARTY albums with Kylies work, because theres a BIG, BIG DIFFERENCE!!! But THIS track is such a wonderful, heartwarming piece of a precious gem. And to blame Kylie,Mac Gowan or Blixa is a sin, BECAUSE you all BLAME Nicks work , TOO!!! It"s exactly this SELDOM TALENT, to create songs like this one and for example "KING INK" or "TUPELO"!

[touchandgod]

Poor Shane.

[luhyx]

i dont think that this song is ment to be uplifting...think of it that way : life sucks and death is not the end of it :D

[TheJonface]

McGowan can't sing at all.

If there is a God, which there probably isn't, it's Nick Cave.

[Ghostak24]

1:10 thats guy is on drugs? :D

[LeCommandantDeBord]

@Ghostak24 Shane McGowan means Drunk in Gaelic.

[GoingToPasalacqua12]

@Ghostak24 quite possibly, he is most definitely drunk. still by far a greater talent than the other 2.

[robertjusher]

Get Paul Kelly on stage too and the world as we know it might stop...

[mdwo01]

Man NICK , BLIXA ,KYLIE, SHANE Just Fantastic

[Ghostak24]

Thanks for thinking im holy but i dont feel that :D ... the song awsome!!! Kylie got great color of voice

[conspiratordrew]

only cave could make such an uplifting song sound so dark

[elgintv]

FU Holey ghost-

The three tenors:

Cohen, Waits and Cave.

Zimmerman is in another class.

[cindyandrob]

Shit is that Sarah Palin singing!

[checkit0303]

Wunderbares Lied! Habe es heute im Radio (WDR5) gehört und musste es unbedingt noch einmal hören. Just music!

[samsudin100]

just remember the death is not the end...

[jippyjester]

surprisingly, their voices are quite compatible.....stange combo but works somehow....not bad at all

[Whitewolf1337]

Er is leven, er is leven na de dood.

[mirekkuzniar]

a great song!!!

[LordOfTheBored]

wasn´t blixa bargeld supposed to sing the third vocals?

[dangerranger323]

Holy Crap! That's Shane MacGowan!

[rrtodd95]

@dangerranger323 And he's VERY drunk. VERY VERY VERY drunk.

I don't know how this guy can perform that drunk.

[saminkie]

Death is the end dumb fucks. sad smiley face... denial cunts



[Choefoe]

Love "where the wild roses grow" goood song and beautifull video with Nick+Kylie

[setialphasix]

To all you people dissing Kylie Minogue: Do you question Nick Cave's artistic judgment? Come on, guys, do you think Nick would have done this song with ANYONE he didn't want to? If Nick Cave can see the artistic value in Kylie for the use of the song, who are we to question him? Nick Cave is awesome, and has had the sense to do duets with Johnette Napolitano, Shane McGowan, PJ Harvey, and a plethora of other brilliant artists, so I don't question this at all! Great performance, both of you!

[ladyinfinity82]

@setialphasix: So true!!

[HeirOfEnoch]

Great song to commit suicide too.

[severfire]

@HeirOfEnoch indeed

[rbtsps]

Ppl need to stop dissin Kylie....if pop music isn't your bag then so be it. But truth be told she is accomplished in her own right, no matter how you slice it. Personally, I would love to see more crossovers between pop and "indie" musicians.

[Singingbear]

I love Dylan's music but have always disliked Bob's own version of this. After listening to this, I now appreciate Bob's a lot more. Enough said.

[kubabu1981]

Buahahaha, thank you hemet and all my respect to the divine Kylie.

[hutzguri]

never mind, but it IS the end, so do something in your may be proud of when you have to go - nice song though

[footscraysteve]

If death is not the end it sure must be a pretty close second.

[rifliflih]

yes i believe

[ushojedi]

talk about beauty and the beasts!

[pixilixy]

@ushojedi Nah, beast is a bit much, I always thought Kylie was kinda cute :-p

[tomek74ful]

that song reminds me about past time ,about people which gone,friends,what is already ended on that beautifull Word

[joebstarsurfer]

i should be so lucky lol

[demeter506]

Kylie doesn't fit into that picture..

[karadcd]

@demeter506 ....i supposed u r not informed that she was the lover of Cave that period!

great performance

[demeter506]

@karadcd Well well didn't know but somehow i thought so..strange.. i wonder for what reasons..I mean a man so bloody offmarket like Nick Cave..and a woman so much of a mainstream doll..It's just strange but sometimes opposites pull..But then again men of thought and intelligence don't find intelligent women atractive either but prefer dolls.. Some strange law rules men about women and i really truly believe physical attractiveness over rides all the other things..

[rsclutch1990]

@demeter506 You don't find it ignorant to say that because Kylie Minogue is attractive that she must be dumb? Isn't it possible that she is in fact intelligent? She strikes me as a very well educated person and Nick Cave doesn't strike me as the type who would tolerate an idiot being so close to him. So pull your head in.

[demeter506]

@rsclutch1990 I don't remember writing anything to you so I am a bit surprised to see someone defending her like her solicitor or something.. Well we just think different.. I don't find Kylie dump, That's your interpretation of what I said, but I don't think she is very intelligent and sophisticated either. I said mainstream and mainstream means avarage and majority a bit..

[demeter506]

@rsclutch1990 I think she was under the influence of Nick Cave because of her infatutation in those years and sang songs different than her own style..She is a pop star isn't she? I don't have that prejiduce towards attractive women but I tend to think that people who have something that helps them a lot in getting what they want do not feel the need or the urge to improve in other areas and this aplies to so many things not only beauty in my mind..

[rukovodstvo]

@demeter506 well, Nick Cave is attractive as well

[demeter506]

@rsclutch1990 And besides I really don't find Kylie so beautiful or attractive..I think even our concept of someone's beauty now depends on how sucsessfully the media, their image makers and their PR manages to sell them so In my view Kylie is more of a succesfully sold product than an artist like most of the celebrities of today are. Nick Cave is an artist not a businessman and that's how I exactly feel about these two..

[demeter506]

@karadcd But I must say It's disappointing to hear that a man whom i admired so much for his music and intelligence is ruled by that primitive rule as well..I had match him with PJ Harvey more than Kylie Minoque in my mind somehow..

[karadcd]

@demeter506 i tottaly agree with what u said ...but all these happened during the period '96-97 where Kylie was off market too....Believe me I don t like either....but those 2 performances put a glimpse of glam ...Those two songs that she partcipated with Cave are great

[ch3rrycoke]

shane mcgowan's dentist disliked this video 49 times

[tibic]

What a woman....oh Kylie...what a woman....

[Nittacci]

Who are the other two male singers? Is one Jacob Dylan?

[PedroL1974]

@Nittacci

The other two are Shane MacGowan and Blixa Bargeld

[yonloner67]

Who are you? talking to?:-? I didnt say anything, and even if i did, you can't possibly hear me! get this album from downloadmusic.im

[aramchek]

The contrast of this meant as being an uplifting song,and the way it comes off as suicidal in this rendition,is just wonderful.

[TheAnxiousMan]

AND Shane MacGowan

[yaron957]

מקסים!

[gerald22macoolit]

whats up with 1:36? cookie monster?

[moosh2107]

i would give anything to sing with him 

[moosh2107]

i would give anything to sing with him

[elizium777]

Happy new year folks... but just remember!...the death is not the end!

[bangaroodong]

sounds like a nice christmas song :)

[damienlucifuge]

I like how no one acknowledges that Shane MacGowen, Blixa Bargeld, and Mick Harvey are also singing.

[Lieu3C4]

The nose knows they say, but such grave matters must weight another day. How delightful and what a wonderful team born of Bad Seeds made. Or should I say maden?

[Nagneto]

Murder Ballads FTW

[DonOfTheDead6]

Nick definitely owned this song!

Much better! (In my opinion)

[halojaner]

What a song ...!!! =)

[HandsOfMystack]

I think Blixa Bargeld should be mentioned in the headline to. He is also an amazing artist!

[ismise14]

shite song crap combination of singers

[tomek74ful]

zajebiste ,super, great song the death is not the end that is true right now I know it....

[aa7111]

what a trio, love it

[speaksintongues]

Is the guy at 1:43 Johnny from the Cobra Kai Dojo? Just saying...

[jazzmastaj]

Just cant get into Nick Cave... Been told hes amazing so so many times, but he just dont do it for me :S

[timspencer1]

@jazzmastaj Give Tindersticks a try - much more musically interesting !!

[yochanan12]

Cohen, Cave and Dylan - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

[timspencer1]

@yochanan12 and Tindersticks are the second coming....

[Zagi300]

@yochanan12 ... Ma kakav holy ghost  Cohen, Cave i Dylan???...Stari moj nisi ti čuo za Štulića, Mladenovića, Divljana, Rundeka i ostalu ekipu.... e da si to ikad čuo onda bi znao tko su Fatheri, Soni i Holy Ghostsi......

[hiddeninromance]

@yochanan12

And Waits! I agree wholeheartedly.



[elloco775]

@yochanan12

and what is with Tom Waits? the devil? ^^

[elloco775]

@yochanan12

and P.J. Harvey play s the Maria...

[djmarionette]

@yochanan12 - and then there's Tom Waits - the Devil...

[hiddeninromance]

@yochanan12 and tom waits as the "mysterious stranger"?

[Newto77721]

@yochanan12 :D

[tonatiuhnitor]

@yochanan12 Tom Waits should also be included.

[vars666]

@tonatiuhnitor  agreed

[vars666]

@yochanan12 your a idiot

[wayneubs]

snot the end snot the end haha

[bullnbarley]

I see this song more as a love song when you lose someone you love more than life itself & their departing leaves the one left behind to forever mourn their loss, & as a way to get through one has to believe that death is not the end, if that''s all there was to life then it would be even harder to say goodbye & let them go. I love the song & I think that both Kylie & Nick compliment each others voices very well. Thank you for sharing this clip for those of us who really appreciate great music

[tiloundana]

cool oder?? das lied zum ersten tanz bei meiner hochzeit

[wayneubs]

mint song

[Nullpunkt1985]

Nick Cave - Wim Wenders - Godlike

Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about check out "Himmel über Berlin" a.k.a. "Wings of Desire"

[kevinrby1982]

kylie is an incredibly beautiful woman!

[vitacit]

nick cave reminds me stephen king))))

[hemet92544]

when its the end, me hopes Kylie is there

[LordOfTheBored]

@hemet92544 and I hope she´s wearing a dress that is as hot as the one in that video then

[mikedesekilibrio]

who is the four singer?

[mrmonkeyknife]

@mikedesekilibrio Blixa Bargeld he is one of the guitarists for the bad seeds

[ExUSSailor]

Wow, Shane McGowan actually sounds slightly sober.

[dbx42dot1]

@ExUSSailor no, he does not, and he never will, understand?

[ExUSSailor]

@dbx42dot1 No reason to be a prick, friend.

[dbx42dot1]

@ExUSSailor ...and...his name is macgowan, not mcgowan, as far as i know.

[debzpoet]

come on sing along now ...just remember death is not the end lol..priceless

[rogerzoom]

@stjulien ... first up is Shane McGowan from the Pogues - next guy looks like Hugh Jackman..

Great version - what a combination! Dylan must be pleased..

[rp85]

Why can't both Nick and Kylie be respected as great artists in their own right? Both have had their success commercially and non-commercially, or else they still wouldn't be here today! Kudos to them both.

[stjulienlepauvre]

does anyone know who the backing singers are?  the 1st is maybe ringo starr?

[ihugtheworld]

very heart-warming performance

[asthemorningfalls]

i love how kylie says "burning"

[Madmike1311992]

Demon Souls :D

[ASTRUBAL1334]

The bad seeds, The Pogues and Einsturzende Neubauten souls together ..what else you want to see before the end¿¿

[StainBoyjw]

cave, kylie, mcgowen, but who's singer number 4?

[JennyCide]

@StainBoyjw - Blixa Bargeld ~(from Einstürzende Neubauten/Bad Seeds etc)

[MourningCandle]

Is that Shane McGowen who sings directly after Kylie? LOVE his voice

[puckduim]

And Shane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soundvisionary13]

DavidBookless: I agree,It's a corny song. Nick was going w PJ Harvey at the time so there was no romance between him and Kylie. Notice at the end how she tries to cosy up to Nick but he professionally rebuffs her like the macho he is(No cuddling in public!) to which Shane leaps into his place. ("Hey Kylie,I'm here!) Once after a gig at the Forum in 92' I was sitting in the backstage near the girls loo and a girl opened the door and Shane & Nick were in the loo greeting women coming in. MMM Nice!

[Exeunt26]

This is a Dylan song, isn't it?

[Exeunt26]

Actually Shane's pretty coherent in this clip, I've seen him far worse.

[phisex]

you never seems to get it

[memm1686]

Dig Lazarus Dig



[weirdcitykid]

Wow..what a line up!!! McGowen is out of it totally...but I can totally see why Nick wanted him on this track.

[CHIDIRTY]

DOES THIS MEAN ALL THE BAD STUFF FOLLOWS US EVEN IN DEATH

[maddiejoensen]

A very good song, but for me a sad song - that reminds me of my dad who was/is an alcoholic which for him makes sense........ :-(

[DavidBookless]

I love Nick Cave but this is awful.

[enavas13]

a killer video, increible esta reunión...

[hemet92544]

then after death, every knew shall bow

[MrGILCORTO]

Shane McGowan, welcome...

[millicentbistander]

Shane MacGowan, Shane MacGowan, Shane MacGowan. That's all.

[NolanBryanLynch]

SHANE!

[russ9356]

kiliie and nick are very under estermated

[chuckles222]

I know Nick, Kylie and shane, but who's the other guy?

[PaniacThrilla]

@chuckles222 My god...I hope you're joking...
