This is pure musical GENIUS at work. 4 cunts should be lined up against a wall and shot dead. Fact! Regardless of you liking this or not, this is clearly above most musicians' capacities.
weird that i choose to watch this video for the millionth time and only notice that this was played august 15th 1987, my birthday! just two years before i was born ha! amazing
God damn! Nick is my hero. I hnow he could give a shit. He's just that kinda guy. Saw him at that shit fest Lallapalooza back in the 90's. I was already a big fan. Always have been. He seemed so out of place. In the hot sun wearing apolyester suit. He ran out of cigarettes. In the middle of a song...I started whatever I had at him one at a time from the front row. Unitl he flipped me the bird. Fucking genius.
@TgirlThelmaANDLouise Its a sign of a young or unsophisticated person to like the cover more than the original, because they never heard the original the first time around.
that seems to be a staple in the lives of the great, no control over the simple events, no control of one self, no control of the habits that create addictions...
Still, thanks to that giving in, they can manage to seep the true essence of the human spirit, until they have nothing left and simply fade away. I feel alive Nick, there is no need to give in.
I've never heard about Nick Cave, I also thought this was a Fever Ray's song. Altough I preffer their version, this Nick Cave has an amazing and unique voice.
fever ray's cover was nice, i liked it, but the original sticks with you more. i think the original of any song usually sticks with your more than most covers though. especially when the original is something by cave. but i appreciate both versions.
@Derdeinemutter I think it's awesome. keeps the scary atmosphere but with a totally different genre. now someone should do an atmospheric-doom metal cover of this...
what the hell? cave isnt growing old disgracefully thats so mean. Hes just continuing to create and it just so happens that society is so bothered by age and it seems so have bothered you too. forget the age and see just how clever he was and still is.
Who said Blixa is growing old gracefully? and WTF does that mean anyway, Grow old disgracefully and be happy - dont conform to anal bastards like the comment below!!
OH MY GOD. Thank you so much for this. I have tears in my eyes...this is aaaaaaaaahhhhhh...so great, one of my favourite songs...this performance is perfect and the quality of the video is amazing :D
