yeah that's more like it nick. much better than the one on 'from her to eternity' - that version was complete ass.

[47viviane]

wow! This is AWESOME! Talking about soulmates......... NC really knows what this song is about - I guess & btw I prefer this to the album version too seems like he sort of grew into it

[akakonjstip]

Oh my god, the accordion!

[akedwards76]

This doesnt hold a candle to the version on From Her to Eternity- its like comparing a desexed poodle to an angry doberman.

[GyntherMeyer]

@akedwards76 I fully agree!!! The intensity of the original cover was around 6 billion times more powerful than this.

Nick cave mades in 1984 an excellent cover. I like more Nick cave's version than the original. Sorry..

[rinbar70]

He made a mistake in the fourth verse. It should be: "You who wish to conquer pain / you must learn what makes me kind." Other than that it's a great performance.

@livingxdisaster

Blaspheme!

[Tehcarp]

@livingxdisaster This is more true to the original. However his first cover was also excellent.

[RedLeftFist]

Great.
