It makes me so sad to see McGowan lose his battle with a demon I know so well,it takes all that you have and leaves you so broken and alone even in a room full of people.
I love Nick's music and particularly his take on covers immensely but I think he missed the mark on this. Listen to Shane MacGowan and it feels like he's singing from the heart. I don't get the same feeling from this version.
English dirge version of a song that works a million times better with Shane's touch of wildness and sheer joy over its bittersweet soul. Sorry Nick, but this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and you killed it.
Nick Cave does a fine job, but I don't see what makes this better than the original. The only thing I can do without on the original version is when the female singers do the "ahhhhhs." The horn and string parts are very pretty
@meab12 Well shucks, then I must have misinterpreted the comment further down the page that said it was "better than the original, as I find the Pogues version a little over arranged." That is who my remarks were directed towards.
NO WAY..its good. but the original is just that. cant be done better. this is very nice though would love to hear Jeff Buckley do this as well. But......

I think the original could have done without the horns to be honest.
And I dunno about Jeff Buckley... Too commercial, this needs the honesty that only Shane and Nick can give it

i dunno why this song keep making me feel down.. this is one of my favo cave's song for a long while..
I will choose this song as the last song i want to listen if there is only a few minutes for my life to live on.
I had decided this song .. Until today.. More than 5 years above. Still couldn't found a substitute.

This is a great version, but it isn't a Nick Cave song, it's by the great Shane McGowan and the Pogues.
Love Nick Cave, but ya have to acknowledge Shane!!!
zafrornn 2 years ago
I have acknowledged him - in the video comments and tags. Plus, it's pretty obvious that it's a Shane song - Nick does mention it at the beginning.
