[BaradielS]

PIĘKNE !

da brividi!!!!

[2ndnickthegreek992]

This girl must be over 20 years old nowadays... She says to her friends: "I'm in an old music video". Then, they enter Youtube and play this video to see their friend. Thus, they meet the world of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in an awkward and magical way. I'm kind of jealous.

[TheJustgreg]

Yep, remarkably trite and cliched lyrics and an obvious chord progression and yet still this song is something great and beautiful.

[gegemec]

heard this a few nights back sung by Martha Wainwright, live on TV. It was staggering!

[Goonthurr]

Why is this so quiet?

[FreyaAndAsher]

The dislikes are those who categorise music with any emotion as 'cheese'. Too bad.

[smullendoremusic]

6 people are total dicks

[seckinism]

ümit besen terk. şaka lan şaka that's an amazing song..12 points from Greece..

[spkenn36]

I know Ill be pilloried for this but I think NC is THE most overrated performer EVER! I find him so transparent and utterly repellent...

Having said that I think this is a beautiful and well crafted song, but best sung by other people...

[Sagalla1]

I Love, therefore I am... I look into the future, with my glass clear and my cup full

[TheCarbondioxcide]

who else can get away with using kids as props and not come across cheesy

[chavrecycling]

@TheCarbondioxcide I love the swinging legs on the piano stool at .30. You see them before the little girl is noticeable.

[TheSuendenfall]

yes.how many times asked me people to play this song......?millions.a classic and the lyrics.....an outstanding,great artist.

[MSROCKINTT]

@ItsTheTransmission thank you.

[NylaScotia3239]

The Holy Trinity of Songwriting.

[gijoel]

One person in this world has never known love.

[p1xelz]

this song makes me feel like obama

[markoVTX]

@ hamsagrl sorry to hear of your loss, remember all the good times you shared....music can evoke so many memories and this particular track will always be so poignant for you.

Take care and look after yourself,

Mark,

England.

[jdabel1]

One person gets sea sick!

[hamsagrl]

to my fiance/husband John, who died saturday 7/23/2011, our song, the song we were going to dance to at our official wedding, I hear this and as always cry. But now I cry and think of you and our love. My soulmate is gone. A large part of my soul died when you did. Wait for me..............Ill be with you soon, time means nothing to you now, but I must endure at least 50 years walking this earth alone now.

[dziegler333]

@hamsagrl Your story is heart breaking. I hope you are able to find some sort of peace and that you have friends and family to support you in this difficult time. People out in this big hard world hope the best for you.

[richiescaff]

@hamsagrl nick means a lot to me but even more now xx

[lewislane]

hope this is the encore when i next see the nick

[jjnippleman]

beautiful...



[jesuscat29]

I always think of the ending of Edward Scissorhands when I hear this song. Love it <3!!!!

[robgets180]

It just could not be better.

[musesong]

you're the mystery to me... sir. Haunting song. Always been my favourite of yours, next to- people just ain't no good. Thanks for posting.

[agiov77]

Listen to this song, sing it, dedicate it, give it to your loved one. It's one of the most beautiful and sensitive love calls I've ever heard. Everyone who's felt this way is blessed and cursed. Thank you, Mr. Cave.

[1993katherineg]

i struggle to find one word to describe how this song makes me feel, i have never heard such a profound and passionate song such as this

"we talk about it all night long, we define our moral ground, but when i crawl into your arms, everything comes tumbling down"

[brew667]

Just another one of those Nick Cave ballads that sticks you to the floor and makes the hair stand on the back of your neck

[lottechatjes]

Great song :)

[elsaelsa1970]

Brilliant....<3

[diezrosales]

My husband introduced me to this song when we first met in April 1992: It's been our anthem ever since and I couldn't love it more if I tried: Just magnificent!

[drakonimetal]

@diezrosales Beautiful history! =)

"There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person." - G. K. Chesterton

[alys789]

brings tears to my eyes, it's so beautiful and moving

[TheJohndoe63]

fkin lov it

[ashdown1981]

which loser disliked this song.

[dalifreak]

@ashdown1981 someone who pressed the wrong button? x) It's the only reason I can find for that

[PeshwariNaan]

An interesting collection of molecules.

[oYoYebutu]

@PeshwariNaan Odd.

[PeshwariNaan]

@oYoYebutu Sorry, an 'odd' collection of molecules.

[oYoYebutu]

@PeshwariNaan Oh, not necessarily (but why not?). To me, the comment was odd. As in "interesting".

[dozenofdozens]

at last...first video that hasnt got comment: x people are stupid for not liking this video

[alipali93]

@dozenofdozens Because as far as I know, Nick Cave isn't particulary well known amongst todays teenage population. The majority of them I know wouldn't know what good music was if it slapped them in the face.

[maeesha11]

@alipali93 You're probably right. But look, I'm 16 and I'm proudly passionately in love with Nick Cave and this song in particular. It's one of the most profound things I could've ever come across. It's rather sad that more of us can't appreciate such wonderful and deep music because THIS is magic!

[draleon7]

cry

[stjulienlepauvre]

ballerinas, snow, nick & blixa--the only thing that could make this better is a paris cafe

[siemvandenberg]

At first when i saw it ay about 0:30 i thought nick cave was a midget

[burakgurel]

Brandon from Vancouver,thank you.

Burak from Kaş Boheme Bar...

[ilanitnahum]

amazing i love it

[MLichtwardt]

Love love love it.

[Lurvy1963]

I'm delighted they remastered this video version of Nick Cave's Ship Song. I have been looking for it for well over a year on You Tube. To me, this video version truly brings out the best in this melody Mr. Cave has created. The angelic little girls, the backup singers and Nick dressed in his best suit playing the piano.

[Bifrons]

Beautifully shreds my soul then gathers it back up. I wish I could pull off a suit like that. :(

[blackie67]

And he's always been so well dressed, he's got a good tailor!

[trollfinger]

@blackie67

The suits in the weeping song video are sweet too.

[garywoof]

A staggeringly beautiful song delivered by a supremely talented and charismatic front man supported by one of the best and tightest sounding outfits around in The Bad Seeds. Majestic.

[undreadSP]

brilliance!

[brendonlover4ever]

those little girls are adorable =] they add the innocence to the video

[marybkingston1]

My favourite song of all time thank you Nick Cave
