possibly the greatest love song ever written, if any woman is stupid enough to marry me this will be the first dance this or "kiss me, i'm shitfaced" its 1 of the 2
nick cave is over rated, its not difficult to understand, silverchair, as 14 year olds had a proper soul and definition - this, in my opinion, is weak and bullshit. And im not one to conflict, believe it or not..
@willzer808 I don't believe it...... if u weren't for conflict, why would you compare silverchair and nick cave on a page where ppl wanna hear nick cave :D
@willzer808 maybe i've just become a bitter old soul. But i didnt think i had. I thought i was being genuine, oh well, the comment is out there now, i just dont get nick cave the way others do, and i doubt i ever will, but a comparison with silverchair is a tad unusual i guess, it still stands though.. i ain't retracting it.. :)
Just spent the last 20 minuets crying thinking of my little brother. I will love you forever whenever i hear this song i think of you Wherever you are I hope you are happy. I wish you had a chance to live your life.
Thank you nick, havin had 3 deaths in the last 5 years,put paid to our music, momentarily,your living on the edge,reinforces our beliefs, but i believe in love, and it's nice to listen to an honest songwriter, even if we wouldn't always agree...Thank you Nick Cave !!! and your Bad Seeds.!!! Thanks..........W..............tvg
The video shows ppl from different races, chinese, white and black persons. He does not care if you are christian, muslim, jewish or a communist. Not if you are gay, straight, bisexual or just love yourself. Everybody needs a pair of arms to stand by him.
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 it's only a demo
this is one of the most astonishing songs ever!!! Brings back so many memories and makes me so sad. I know I've hurt some people and I want to tell all of them "I'm sorry". And I really am, and I wish God or something could bring you back into my arms... And I wish I had the guts to talk to you and explain everything instead of being commenting on a video. But Girls, I'll always suck.
@relacser You're listening to this great song, hearing the voice of Nick Cave, hearing him declare his love and the only thing you can say is seriously 'fuck vevo'.
@DjStagG Maybe it is you who should do the pre-talk thinking, considering my comment was supporting your own sentiments and you still somehow found a reason to bitch at me because I also expressed my hatred for Vevo, did you not hear the first part of my comment saying that its a great video?.
So basically what im saying good sir is suck a fat dick straight up and have a pleasant day.
@relacser Yeah!!! Why the @ is it not possible to share the video with a capture??? And no other decent version... those guys are monopolizing youtube!!!
This reminds me of Godley & Creme's 'Cry' video... which also shows a lot of sad people, crying and getting angry... everybody watch Godley & Creme's 'Cry'... it's a real tear-jerker. :-(
@80eladio It need somebody with something terrible wrong with them,,,,,,,,,,who dies and a dog.................lol to make it the best song ever written.
This might be one of the only songs that touches perfection. His voice seems to be made for the images. Pure honesty in a song. I believe him when he sings this song.
@ConvertAllStar Listen to the lyrics, the song is essentially about the Author’s belief that spirituality is not the defining influence in his life and it can in no way compare to what is most important to him i.e. the women he loves. That’s just my interpretation, I guess different people will find different meanings in the song for themselves, that’s the beauty of music.
@333joemc well, I agree that different ppl will provide different interpretations, but if "spirituality" isn't relevant in the author's life (as you put it), why does he repeat the word Lord, then?
did you mean women in plural? thanks for taking the time to reply
@ConvertAllStar I'm sure you'll have your own interpretation but to me it’s an extension of the hypothetical narrative “if he (God/ Lord) were to direct you then direct you into my arms”, the important word in that line being IF puts it in the context of a hypothetical scenario. So in essence it’s a reference to the “interventionist God” that he stated he didn’t believe in the first line of the song.
PS I meant 2 say woman in d last comment, but you never know with Nick, he was a busy man lol!
@333joemc This song isn't written from the point of view of atheism..... you are so wide of the mark it’s laughable (and 69 other morons). In fact, Nick Cave has publically acknowledged that he is a Christian. The lyrics challenge the traditional teachings of religion (i.e. divine intervention, guardian angels) but rationalise and except them within the context of love of another human being….. vis a vi - God is love. Let me guess, you don’t believe that we landed on the moon?
@bgudge3555 I find it amusing that people are getting so worked up about that comment I made, to my mind and the lots of people that do agree with me the lyrics are suitably vague as to be interpreted in more than a one dimensional, as for the absolute literal meaning of the song and Mr Cave's religious beliefs and yours for that matter, they don't concern me I just like the song.
@333joemc .......no, you made a bullshit comment and people are calling you for it. if you ‘just liked the song’ you would have said 'nice song'. If you get things so utterly wrong you've got to expect a reaction.
@bgudge3555 what about your bullshit comment? Nick cave has acknowledged in interviews with the guardian and the LA Times that he is not a christian and he does not believe in a personal god. Read the lyrics, the song doesn't accept religion in the context of love it accepts love instead of it.
@333joemc......neither you or i know the exact meaning of the lyrics or why he wrote the song. the only thing that we do know is that this isn't a song about atheism and that you are an idiot.
@bgudge3555 I see now instead of using a reasoned argument you are resorting to personal insults, the last refuge of a puerile mind. The song is not about atheism it’s a love song but even someone with the most modest capacities of observation can discern that there is another subtext there.
@SuperZepto you went with her for 16 months and you didnt know she was a bitch. Yep you were what is commonly refered to as cunt struck!! Glad you learnt ur lesson lad!!
