  • Oba sta Dobra. Kdo je bil prej : Angel or God

  • at 1.56 he should sing shelter from a shower but i don't know what the hell he says

  • it doesnt get any better than this

  • 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.

  • @lynnsaoirse You do realise Cave isn't English, don't you?

  • Comment removed

  • fuck, i could cry with this.

    thanx.,..seriously

  • Very good. I have a huge amount of respect for both Shane MacGowan and Nick Cave

  • some kinda higher religeous meaning my ASS !good song writer. good song .good version. end off

  • wonderfull

  • the songs will be sung for a hundred years at least, they will stand the test of time, beutiful cover. Thank You Shane McGowen

  • i never heard it like this ,,,woooooow

  • Nick Cave is God. Shane McGowan is a fallen Angel.

  • Amen.

  • @Prenisonona He hasn't fell yet...saw him in DEcember he was on top form!

  • @Prenisonona ..they both are gods...you can have as many as you want...who's counting?. ..... :-)

  • 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

  • @bentrend nobody said it was better than the original. its just a different take on it

  • @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.

  • @bentrend my apologies. however theyre just giving their opinion. i would have to agree with you on the matter though

  • Allright,, Nick Cave knows what he´s doing.

  • This has got to be the most amazing, most beautiful thing i will ever hear.

    And dear I say it, better than the original, as I find the Pogues version a little over arranged

  • 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 really prefer that sond by the author: Bishi Adamo. RIP

  • a beautiful ballard, performed to perfection

  • thanks so much for posting this!

  • good job

  • Never be as good as shane Mcgowan

  • cave is leaps and bounds superior to McGowan, he's great, but cave is better in my modest opinion

  • thats cause you're a moron. Obviously.

  • oh, I was wondering why. Thanks for making my life so much clearer

  • Can't be compared... Even thought they both write about love, drinking and dying they have two totally different expessions...

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • Also it's a documentary about him ;) Whish I have to find :) Where did you find it?

  • Thanks for uploading this!

  • You're welcome. :-)

  • Thanks for uploading this video! :)

    I think I'm gonna buy the DVD :P

  • No worries. :-)
