  • Chris Martin covered this <3

  • @MyManxer The violence is gone? Um, Grinderman? And also remember that nick was 20, high as a mutherfuck and living in Berlin in the 80s with the birthday party! Jesus. If you think your going to write the same music or be as angry in your 50s with 3 kids and a nice house in Sussex, as you were when you were 20 and off your head your sorely mistaken. Its not selling out, or becoming a balladeer. Its getting older. And your own musical tastes changing. And dude, there is nothing wrong with that.

  • Emerging from under my rock - I'm attempting to educate myself a little more about this very captivating man by the name Nick Cave. Great song!

  • @TheMadPrideBand You won`t regret!

  • Very nice. Got hooked on Nick after seeing him on a live Video with other music artists paying tribute to the Great Leonard Cohen. Yeah, what's with the dis-likes. What is there not to like? Thanks for sharing.

  • 5*****!

  • Pj Harvey first sung: "Won't you send those angels to watch over me?"

    Then, Nick answered:

    " And I don't believe in the existence of angels

    But looking at you I wonder if that's true

    But if I did I would summon them together

    And ask them to watch over you "

  • HEY NICK CAVE FANS..IM PUPSKI FROM AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND...PLEASE CHECK OUT MY MUSIC, I COULD REALLY USE SOME FEEDBACK :) THANKS HEAPS X

  • prekrasno

  • @thevicar - at the @vicar (?) = contract note (?) : I know no youtube user vicar or thevicar.

  • Nick has written many a lovely tune but this is stupendously wondrous.

  • at My Manxer--- I'm from Sydney ( now live in the USA )and have loved the man for decades. What is more grave that murder? What is your birdseyes view? P Calculator, i think he was drunk

  • @cozalcoatl Are you saying I was drunk?

    Cave believes there are crimes graver than murder. 'Birds eye view'

    was the wrong way to put it. I am so sick of everyone in this city claiming him as some sort of alternative God and as someone near and dear, that all ("I saw him in the Caulfield Bakery OMG!!"). The violence of the Birthday Party is gone (it was hollow anyway - only Tracey Pew could have gone toe to toe) and now Cave can rank aside Humperdinck, Boone and Walter as great balladeers.

  • Before you jump on me, yes I know it's Rowland S HOWARD. Or was. He died didn't he?

  • Being from Melbourne I've had a birdseye view to the fawning of this elitist for decades now.

    This is a guy who has; said does not want those from outer suburbia populating Bad Seeds concerts; suggested there are crimes more grave than that of murder; and yes, met the Queen of England!! Beloved of the yuppie arts' nomad ("yesterday Berlin, tommorow Dubrovnik !!") his former band (including that scrawny Rowland S Howland) were brilliantly mocked by the great P. Calculators on ABC recently.

  • what i was needed for this morning...Shine Up !!!

  • Great voice... this might be art.

  • I can't listen to this song without thinking of you...

  • my grandma is deying and i love her

    she is dead

  • perfect words to describe such an emotion

  • hes a very great musikan but its not musik art ....

  • @HardcoreKingZockerxP what do you consider musik art?

  • Trying to find the cover version of this song that was done about 2001 by Embrace....not on YouTube yet...maybe I'll have to do a montage for it and upload it myself from the mp3 I have of it!?

  • 122 people have their sound off.

  • @johncerams 2 more have their sound still off... !!!

  • I don't understand any of the above 2 comments! Good song though alot of his work is great.

  • this is the best version <3

  • Whenever I hear his voice I fall for this charming bastard.

  • Geweldig in mijn armen mijn liesjes

  • I love his solo piano songs the best. Thrilling.

  • Brings tears!

  • beautiful song, thank you Nick.

  • If someone told me he is Jim Carrey's secret big brother, I would believe it.

  • @maartenvanderheijden

    Wow... of all posts i've ever read... this one simply makes no sense to me. I'm thinking a trip to an ophthalmologist should be in your near future.

  • If you like Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen or Johhny Cash, come and check my new stuff on my channel. I hope you like it.

  • This song just gets better every time I here it and links perfectly to the one I love :)

  • Sublime.

  • This is pure brilliance

  • Apparently he performed this song at Michael Hutchence's funeral. Must have been nice.

  • soundtrack to a lonely college dormroom

  • beautiful...

  • Great song by one of my favourite artists.

    If you enjoy this you might (just might) like my song "Sea of Time", which I wrote & recorded after playing this song about 23 times on the piano. Quite crappy sound but this is only a demo

  • This reminds me of one of the most wonderful ladies i know

  • Transcendental!

  • Aku cinta kamu...selalu

  • I realise that people listen to their favourite music on Youtube and always abuse those people who "dislike" it. But seriously, how could anybody listen to this and actually not love it. I'm flabbergasted!

  • coke

  • evrytime i hear this i think the world is gonna end.....

  • such an amazing vocalist nick

  • Hans Teeuwen! =)

  • @Henryvdv the morning after drechige daisy........

  • @Henryvdv

    Haha je bent niet de enige die dat ook vindt :D

  • such a great song... awsome....

    i love it

  • I went searching for this when I heard about Gary Speed's death. Cos I couldn't believe he died, and I wanted something to sing to.

  • his voice is just amaazing!!! :)

  • Best love song  ever

  • uf :)

  • Someone sent me this song. As a message to me. I listened carefully and Wow!

  • J. Groban don't even dare make a cover of this one

  • wasn't hip to this gem.

  • Did he said in Sarajevo ?

  • @mansoldworld he said surrey, likely to somewhere in melbourne

  • @mobe7 Thanx man ...

  • @mobe7 Well, it was recorded in London, and he has a history of being in the UK. My wager is the county Surrey

  • @mansoldworld yes (da)

  • Don't Band Members feel bored when the Lead Singer writes a song with just one instrument in it? Time for a fag during the concert I guess

  • jebena.

  • @djapanaa da bi riječ rekao :)

  • Love it... What a rad song

  • Isn´t that john cale on the left?

  • Edit out the guy with the tongue., please! YUK! lol

    

  • Doesn't get much better than this folks...no it certainly does not!

  • Kada god slusam Nick-a..mislim na tebe..nekako..zaglavis mi tako u mislima..

  • chciałbym znowu czuć Twoje pełne ufności ciało ,w moich ramionach ...chociaż wiem że na zaufanie Twe już nie zasługuje.

  • Eins der schönsten Lieder für mich. Perfekt, Melodie, Text und Stimme suuuuper!

  • I don't often post YT comments, but I'll make an exception for this song.

    Together with Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (and Jeff Buckley's excelent cover) this is one of my favourive ballads of all time. I get a little teary every time I hear either of them.

  • @MrSmurfyDog

    Were u aware that Nick and Leonard co-wrote a song - "Where the Wild Roses Grow"

  • Oh My God! INCREDIBLE

  • This song is just perfect and beautiful from the lyrics alone, but Nick singing it makes it a million times better.

  • I frikin luv that Song. It's magical

  • Just beautiful!

  • Sheer genius!

  • What a great love song!

  • Comment removed

  • almost similar voice as Tom Smith from the Editors!! I just can´t believe it ...

  • Wow, for such a deep singing voice, Nick Cave's speaking voice is surprisingly...normal :-)

  • @sanftify and no ears

  • love

  • The influence of Richard Clayderman is undeniable!

  • Makes me think of beautiful Russian girl I liked so much...!

  • ONE of my favorites, I love to dance by myself listening to it, so beautiful.

  • WOW.....xxxxx

  • This is for my sister :)

  • guys its one of my fav songs....i sent this song to my girlfriend who now is away,but she will be back again.....the thing is that in the beginning of the song nick says ' this song i wrote in a little country church in Surrey' and my girlfriend is leaving in surrey and i didnt know it was called like that....we share something special and i love her so much...i would give everything to take her into my arms...love y babe am w8ing for y <3

  • ευτυχως που το τραγουδησε και Σαββοπουλος (αδεια μου αγκαλια) στα ελληνικα γιατι το ακουγαμε τοσο καιρο και δεν καταλαβαιναμε τι ελεγε,,,,χαχαχαχαχαχα

  • Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

  • This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever performed.

  • @gabetracey yes you're very disappointing. now fuck off somwhere else with your pidgeon english shite points of view. campy my fucking arse

  • baska bir sekilde olabilecegini askin sevginin insanın guzelliginin tanrısallıginin ifadesi

    nick cok inanmış bir insan onu seviyorum.

  • Love this song.

  • This is genious. Thank god there is great song writers out there.

  • γιατοί έχει τόσους έλληνες εδω ρε παιδια?

  • Εδώ είμαστε όλοι ρε παιδιά... πως δε βρισκόμαστε έξω. Μη κοιτάτε κάτω ρε γαμώτο όταν περπάτε στο δρόμο

  • this song has changed my life ... i think !

  • I had such a perilous time finding The Boatman's Call and finally I went to the bohemian record shop and there weren't any new ones in stock nor was it possible to order. I think it was difficult because Australia is a far away land from where I'm located. But the shop owner was so sweet. He told me that they have one not for resale because it was the store's. I was psyched and played it like a broken record. And then it was stolen from me. Which I was in the FBI and a ninja.

  • I from Russia and I don't understand about what he sings, but its voice - excellent

  • 88888588888

  • fookin class!!

  • holy shit

  • this is really campy for nick. im disappointing.

  • OMG BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I BELIEVE IN LOVE AND I KNOW THAT YOU DO TOO! <3 <3 INTO MY ARMS OH LORD!

  • this was our wedding song. It can mean anything you want it to. To me it is a love song, it says exactly why and how feel in love with my wife

  • absolutely stunning, moved me to tears xx

  • i love you nick cave...thank you

  • My favorite song of all time. Love letter second. I want to learn piano for this very reason. My pubes straightened when i heard this song.

  • I first heard this song at my nephew's wedding. Absoultely gorgeous...transcendent really. I couldn't wait to get the CD!

  • beautiful! His voice is surprisingly high when he talks.

  • Got me ! Goosebumps very touching song he reminds me of the late Jeff Buckley who also sung with a real passion

  • my generation is missing the music that nick cave sheds upon the world, so powerful and meaningful, i wish they only knew good music

  • @2620productions do not worry friend, i will lead the revolution of nick cave upon our pitiful generation. And if they can not see the beauty we will simply chuckle from our mountaintops, looking down on the poor slaves of the top 100

  • what I love about this song apart from the very awesome talents of Nick Cave, is that everyone gains different meanings and interpretations, depending on their own perspective and journey in life. For me this is a love song. I bow down to Nick Cave's talents. Beautifully sung, with so much feeling, beautifully played. One day I'd love to see Nick perfrom live. That would be wonderful

  • @ButterflyHearts27 Nice words... I have been lucky enough so see him in The Birthday Party, as Nick Cave, and in Grinderman.... he truly is amazing....

  • I've gotta say, I never gave God a chance until I started listening to Nick. He convinced me that good can be found in things you thought you'd abandoned forever.

  • Why does every other love song sound like shit compared to Cave's? I guess Cave just has genuine passion and is gifted in his ability to put his feelings into words without sounding like sap.

  • There is NO such thing as too much Nick Cave...I could NEVER get enough...Please God, send him "into my arms"...

  • Perfect...

  • The best song ever.. can't stop listen it... so moving... Thank you, Nick!

  • faggots i money

  • we dont gelioeve you Darling

    

  • The most beautiful song...

  • great song....i named this video "kakadu woman"

  • How can anybody dislike a song like this? Not even possible.

  • I'm pretty sure, having just heard this song for the first time, that this is the closest a ballad will ever get to perfect. And they say hymns are beautiful and inspirational. Heh.

  • the most beautiful agnostic-lovesong

  • 'Gettin' Square'. brilliant film fantastic score. Nick Cave fu*king ACE.

    David Wenham, makes Sir Larry' look like a to**er.

    I kneel at their feet.

  • Wtf's going on in the background when he first starts talking, lol. Sounds like someone throwing glasses.

  • ρε σπηλια! ΡΕ ΣΠΗΛΙΑ!!!!

  • τα δυο πρωτα σχολια ειναι απλως κορυφαια.. τα καλυτερα και πιο ουσιαστικα σχολια που εχω διαβασει στην περιηγηση μου σε αρκετα βιντεακια εδω στο youtube.. ευτυχως που υπαρχει και αυτη η μεριδα των ανθρωπων που σε βοηθουν να σκεφτεις κατι παραπανω ρε γαμωτο.. πραγματικα χαρηκα.. και παρεπιπτωντος ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΟ κομματι.. απο αλλη γη

  • @vilianna93 Είναι πολύ ωραίο να βλέπεις ελληνικό σχόλιο στα τοπ εδώ ! :) Τελικά μερικοί Έλληνες ξέρουν να ακούν μουσική!

  • @ele5sunny Imaste ligi,ala imaste poli...

  • @kotezi1 :) Ευτυχώς....γιατί είχα αρχίσει να ανησυχώ!

  • @ele5sunny καλά κάνεις και ανησυχείς! βρίσκεις μαγαζιά να παίζουν τέτοια μουσική?

  • @TheAlzabel Νομίζω ότι χρησιμοποίησες λάθος όρους. Μαγαζιά και παίζουν δεν ταιριάζουν με αυτή την ποιότητα μουσικής! Επομένως σαφώς και δεν υπάρχουν! Αφού η ιδεολογία των "μαγαζιών" όπως λες αφορά άλλο είδος τραγουδιών (δεν αφορά καν τη μουσική βασικά )

  • @ele5sunny Κοίτα... Για τα δεδομένα της Ελλάδας με τις ανατολίτικες επιρροές και τους αμανέδες αυτό το είδος μουσικής είναι κάτι σαν υποκουλτούρα. Στην Αγγλία πχ είναι η κομμάτι της μουσικής τους παράδοσης. Και ακούς στις pub να παίζει τέτοια μουσική ενώ εδώ αντίστοιχα ακούς Πανταζή. Αναλογικά με τον κόσμο που ακούει ροκ συνολικά (από Nick Cave μέχρι Archive και Madrugada) δεν έχει πολλά μαγαζιά (το κέντρα διασκέδασης μου φάνηκε χειρότερη επιλογή λέξης;) ) που να την υποστηρίζουν.

  • @TheAlzabel Ναι ρε συ δε διαφωνώ. Απλά σου λέω ότι συνήθως η ποιοτική μουσική, δε ακούγεται. Δεν είναι εμπορική. Δεν την παίζουν μαγαζιά ή οτιδήποτε τελοσπάντων. Γιατί είναι αυτή που ακούν οι λίγοι. Και οι λίγοι δε συχνάζουν σε "κέντρα διασκέδασης" ή οτιδήποτε. Πιστεύω καταλαβαίνεις τι εννοώ. Ας μην κολλάμε στις λέξεις...

  • 105 people have no arms
