@jotacalvo -- so was mine. I probably should have included a ": - )" at the end. I wasn't taking a cheap shot at you. No offense meant. My apology if it translated poorly.
@siegel4743 haha thanx. I have since almost completely stopped posting comments bcuz of all the obnoxious people who have even wished me to die of painful diseases for expressing my opinion. I guess I was a little gun-shy :)
@mbrinton -- You may have missed my point. I was commenting on how Elvis' advanced age (if he were still alive) would likely be a hinderance to his awareness of the state of affairs in popular music. I wasn't commenting on Nick Cave's talent. As noted in my reply to jotacalvo (below), it was just meant as a light-hearted poke at being old.
@nobodyimporification I have Into My Arms as a '45; B-Side being Little Empty Boat. I'm honestly not very fond of his newer work; Grinderman is, although full of energy is not the cup of tea that I'd like to drink from on an uxorious level. I'm a sucker for Henry's Dream; Boatman's Call, Kicking Against The Pricks. I have Henry's Dream on an LP, and haven't found it on disc for a few years. I play Henry's Dream, and this old Teddy Edwards cassette of mine all the time.
Yonder on the ho-RI-ZON! Yonder on the ho-RI-ZON! Stopped at the mighty ri'ver! Sucked the damn thing dry! Distant thunder thunder rumble! Rumble Hungry like the Beast!
did he quote the bible, as in jesus went to the crossroads in tupelo, made a pact withj satan, became elvis, and was reborn as THE KING, at SUN studios?
@theangryhands The song (as well as the album title) is a tribute to Elvis, born in Tupelo, Mississippi and the 2nd twin born. The first was still-born.
Has no one mentioned Jesse Garon? Elvis' stillborn twin was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave since the Presleys were so destitute at the time...
This song may have been based on a real, tragic, event. In 1936, well over 200 people were killed by a tornado that struck the residential section of Tupelo, Mississippi. An often quoted story (yet one that is not quite honest) states that an infant Elvis Presley survived the tornado (however, there is no actual evidence that Elvis or his family were even involved with that storm.)
@Ellionart He has many best songs, but Green Eyes is definitely not one of them, even though it's in one of his best albums, although his every album is his best album. :)
i think it is sort of a reference to his novel "and the ass saw the angel"........if you have not read it then i suggest you drop what you are doing right this second and go out and buy it.........it's that good.
Um, the song is about a historical flood in Tupelo, Alabama that killed many people, with biblical references to the virgin birth, Cain & Abel, and the return of christ. Elvis figures into the lyrics, too, since the "king" who walks on Tupelo could be either Elvis or Jesus, or both. Nick's fucking with our perceptions, as usual.
Wha?!! I don't care who does it! A remake will never carry the weight that the original does! Maybe they are great artists, but the emotions coming thru from the genius that IS Nick cannot be replicated. Remember...he's the original. They COPIED! And yes, this (and the title of the album) is about the birth of Elvis.
I agree 100%. Certainly not with a song of this kind, how can you hope to capture the spirit and intensity of something like this? Vocally you cant even dream of coming close to what Nick does here, even if you were technically a better singer.
True that. Case in point - Bob Dylan. Why do people think that because somebody can sing (Mariah Carey?) or play guitar (Yngwie Malmsteen) that they make good music? Oh and by the way, I jumped over and listened to SikTh's version: not impressed. All they did is copied Nick. Sorry boys but that doesn't make you good. And Nick did it better with 1984 studio technology.
Thats just mechanical music, speaking as a fan of heavy music I do think that some people have both technical ability and soul, which does impress, but having an individual voice, soul, and great material is what counts. By the standards of anal retentitive internet fanboys how many true greats would get a look in? As for covers, there is no point in trying to do a straight copy of the original, if you must do it, do your own take, something Mr Cave has done rather well in the past I think!
but unlike dylan or cohen or waits, nick is a great singer. his voice is stunning and he does have a singing background. he was a choir boy as a child.
i think both versions are great. i actually do prefer the SikTh version though cause i love Mikee Gooman's vocals, not to say i dont like Nick Cave's but Mikee Goodman is probably my all time favorite singer
I'm told this song is about Elvis Presleys stillborn twin brother, great song either way. Had a look at the othe version, seemed a bit artsy and contrived, i'll stick with the original myself.
Only Nick Cave cover iv'e heard so far that really grabbed me was Johnny Cash's take on Mercy Seat. It takes a special kinda bloke to carry off the emothion that Nick seems to be able to throw about like chook pellets!
I think you're sort of right about the cover... I actually prefer it, but it might seem very arty, maybe a little contrived. It's a very experimental cover, but it REALLY works in the album. And this is an album that includes one song of a man shouting "HATE IS IN THE AIR!", and one spoken-word poem alongside crazy metal.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, SikTh were flipping geniuses... You can't expect everyone to be as good as them. Can't wait to hear what the ex-members do next, except the bassist, ho's just a bas teacher...
The Bad Seeds were so good at realizing these songs. On paper these songs suck. In their realization, they're great. Nick Cave was a genius for conceiving them, and the band was great for bringing them to life.
I am an avid metal head and love Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave..I went to his concert in Toronto back in October and among the older crowd and pretentious artsy types there was quite an abundance of metal fans.
I was at a party and Mercy Seat played, and someone commented "This sounds like a combination of Nick Cave and metal band." and I let him know "Actually, this is just Nick Cave combined with Nick Cave."
@RoberTastic Because of Music Row. The suits and lovers of shiny simple and stupid pop "country" would never embrace a real artist. Yet in the case of this song, for all of their Elvis Presley worshiping, you would think they would appreciate such a track.
This is song is one of my favorites by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I think it is an absolutely stunning track in terms of its intensity, dramatic vocals, and poetic, story-like lyrics.
this song ist so great, the video is great, nick is great, blixa too and also mick and mr.dreher and of course barry :D god bless these guys for this music, really soul-shaking, i agree and i cant stop watching and hearing their stuff.
He's so unbelievebly versatile! From touching ballads to these kinds of soul shaking pieces. Not to mention he's lyrical skills in poems, novels and screenplays. Seems like everything Nick touches turns to gold.
No, i can't say I have. Yeah, I love it too. Very shaking and disturbing. The proposition is also a masterpiece. The monologues and the poems whispered by the wind... Amazing.
I didn't love it, but it's good. Night of the lotus eaters and More news from nowhere for example are greate tracks as usual, but it's not in my top 5 or anything.
They're coming to Finland this summer... looking forward to that!

I am an avid metal head and love Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave..I went to his concert in Toronto back in October and among the older crowd and pretentious artsy types there was quite an abundance of metal fans.

I was at a party and Mercy Seat played, and someone commented "This sounds like a combination of Nick Cave and metal band." and I let him know "Actually, this is just Nick Cave combined with Nick Cave."

Same here. A metalhead in my teens, now with broader range of musical interest. Cave is a really good artist and performer.

Why hasn't he been embraced by country music more?
RoberTastic 2 years ago
@RoberTastic Because of Music Row. The suits and lovers of shiny simple and stupid pop "country" would never embrace a real artist. Yet in the case of this song, for all of their Elvis Presley worshiping, you would think they would appreciate such a track.
Nashville can eat bag of dicks.

This is song is one of my favorites by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I think it is an absolutely stunning track in terms of its intensity, dramatic vocals, and poetic, story-like lyrics.

Even though Nick Cave has expressed his
dislike for the music video format and how
at the start he looks so uninterested, the
music and Nick's showman ship takes over
making a eye gluing and interesting music
video.

He's so unbelievebly versatile! From touching ballads to these kinds of soul shaking pieces. Not to mention he's lyrical skills in poems, novels and screenplays. Seems like everything Nick touches turns to gold.

"and the ass saw the angel" is possibly the best book i've read!
have you heard any of his early stuff?
Boys next door was his first band before the birthday party.

No, i can't say I have. Yeah, I love it too. Very shaking and disturbing. The proposition is also a masterpiece. The monologues and the poems whispered by the wind... Amazing.
Lefaikone 2 years ago
the proposition was amazing!!! i actually just watched it again the other day.
And the ass saw the angel is soooo beautifully amazing!! it has a lot of the same aspects as the proposition.
What do you think of the new album?
looshkin66 2 years ago 2
I didn't love it, but it's good. Night of the lotus eaters and More news from nowhere for example are greate tracks as usual, but it's not in my top 5 or anything.
They're coming to Finland this summer... looking forward to that!
