  • is it just me or is this guy one of the few cool singers/writers that's actually good..

  • This song for some reason reminds me of soldiers in Afghanistan. "I'm a prisoner here, I can never go home

    There is nothing here to win or to lose

    There are no choices needing to be made at all

    Not even the choice of having to choose"

  • I could go for a cup of hot opium tea, if you please, there's fifteen feet of pure white snow

  • one of cooolest song ever made :)))))))

    opium teaaaaaaa aghrrrrrrrr :)))))

  • Koknar!

    

  • I like drinking tea, while listening to this :)

  • Are we closet hipsters? Or is it just that most people are deprived of the talents of Nick Cave? Whenever I mention him to anyone the only reaction I get is, "Who?"

  • @AwkwardTurtle002 I know right? It takes a little epiphany to get his music I think.. You also meet a lot of people that "like" nick, because it's the cool thing to do, but they don't get it at all, lol.:! Well, it's only music after all, it's not a competition. To each ones own!

  • @spritsengiggle I don't know what it is about his music, it just grabs you by all senses and never lets go. Well, if it was a competition, Cave would probably sip his opium tea and scoff it away

  • @AwkwardTurtle002 it makes me sad

    i know the feeling :/

  • Rest in peace Sebastian Horsley

  • wow, occupied lands by arabs and turks!

  • also great slideshow gothgod!

  • this is what happiness and relaxation sounds like :)

  • Great song, this version is slightly different from the one I have on the b-side collection box. Where did you get it?

  • Slucham tego, prawie codziennie...

  • what a great song for a rainy afternoon at work.... off to brew some tea...

  • Thanks.

  • Look, YouTube, just disable "dislike" button for this song.

  • com on guys, where's the button for infinite loop

  • This song is a cure for headache.

  • GrOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo­Ovy.

  • ..I could use a pot myself..I tell Ya !....

  • Never thought to mix dilaudid in my tea. Good idea.

  • wspaniały utwor

  • i want some

  • water ( for various uses) should never reach boiling only a simmer otherwise dorthy will never fall asleep, you waste the wizzards magic with to high heat.

    its just science watson.... here sip this...

  • @1andycody Nice laymans conversion.

    

  • Album is a B sides and rarities, dont know if its the only one, though.

  • Was not refering to heroin use (or other opiates/opiods), there chief. If you read the earlier posts, you will notice the discussion about opium tea. Now you're question is answered as well, and you can rest easy also....

    unless you actually are talking about IVing poppy tea, then you're just a moron.

  • @ncav81 opium tea contains morphene codiene papavarine and thebane chief.....

    those are opiates....

  • Id rather shoot it thanks Nick

  • what album is this from?

  • relax kiddies, i have the answers to all your problems... Boiling WILL BREAK DOWN THE MORPHINE (and other opiates) present in the poppy. You will end up with garbage. 1) Boil water. 2) REMOVE FROM HEAT. 3) Add "tea". 4) Steep, for 20 mins., or more. 5) Strain, a french press is an excellent method.

    ...and there you have it, the purely hypothetical, for research purposes only, Do NOT ATTEMPT AT HOME blah blah, foolproof recipe (only recipe ,realy)...

  • @ncav81

    Why do the opiates not break down when you melt herion power?

  • @rollokb2

    why should/would they?

  • rollokb2

    because actuly it takes a fairly low temp to do so and they do if you get it to hot. but for such a short duration that litle is lost and from a large amount of such a strong opioid such a small amount lost is infintessimal.

  • u should put thumbnail picture for whole song cuz its beautiful

  • my Egypt song...Luxor west bank =paradise

  • @ 0:28 nice Channels Nick.

  • Kaleidoscope vision may occur when listening to this song and playing tetris.

  • @KrackheadKandice He is a true individual, KK but one thing I was taken by yesterday, was the similarity between his style and Leonard Cohen. (ducking for cover now) They're both brilliant songwriters and are so full of insight and emotion. When we're bombarded with such dross, the Beyonce's, the Britney's et al, it makes me truely thankful for the genius that is Nick Cave.

  • @Oilisdeathtomany I agree! I heard this song on the radio and thought it was Cohen

  • its not about drug use some people use opium for spiritual gain they feel closer to god and read prophecies.

  • @67DieHardPatriot454 - hahahahahhahahahaahahaahahah

  • @trazeebarb telll me, is it fuck to recover from it? fight like a brave . ive done IT! IS IT JUST THE METTER OF WILL. keep the faith

  • Nick Cave AND THE BAD SEEDS

  • Happy Birthday Nick ♥

  • I think he's just telling a story of a dude away from in the middle east

  • I wish I heard this song when I was snorting Sta-Dol with next door female friend in 2002. No sex, Just watching Little House on the Prairie on Halmark. Completely oblivious to time and the outside world. Sta-Dol is a hell of a drug.

  • Picture at 0:19 is a different Nick Cave. Get it right.

  • @tinofpop90

    Glad someone pointed that out... your absolutely right.

  • @EinsteinsFrozenBrain I am always right.

  • @tinofpop90 0.19 is that weird thing with wings, which photo do you mean ?

  • @tinofpop90 It may have been done as a joke. Food for thought.

  • I never realized till watching your video that all those Muslim classic architectural details, domes, arches, traditional tile patterns were opium pod motifs, opium pod inspired. I had just somehow blindly assumed they were abstract not nature derived. Thank you for that insight.

  • good match between song and images, thanks :-)

  • opiym vsegda horosh

  • I listen to the song with degenerate glee

    And though it's not PC

    I want meeee-e,

    One of those cups of Opium Tea

    First it was Opium. Cure for Opium addiction? Codeine. It's cure was Morphine. Cure for that? Heroin. Cure for Heroin? Methadone. It continues with each "cure" worse.

    See Soros and Lindsmith organization. Yes, the World Bank guy. He has done more for drug legalization. Worthwhile to check into.

  • @TamarZucker Yes, NZ = New Zealand. Glaxo is a multi-national corporation that is, amongst other products, maker of various poppy based drugs. Thebane is one of the many alkaloids in opium but, alone, is not psychoactive but through manipulation can product a number of very useful drugs. Methadone and buprenorphine are not great but they do have their place. Also, thebane is attractive to drug companies because there's potential for big dollars being made with the invention of new products.

  • well some of the comments on here are just a fantastic use of the medium....well done guys real responsible...fucking idiots

  • Nicely done!

  • Nick The Great (:

  • The world would be a better place - if everyone had this tea in space

  • Q alguen le diga a Nick q venga!!!!!!!

  • love dem pods, use safely.

  • Why is it that everytime I listen to this song, I imagine it being sung by Tracy Morgan?

  • Just the coolest mother fucker known to man.

  • i take tramadol every day an opiate against the pain there isn't much fun in that

    stil a great song legalise mary jane

  • 5 stars...

  • wow amazing song! i love nick cave a lot, i can't beleive i havents noticed a lot of his songs i keep finding :D

  • "..correct seeds?" If you want seeds to grow opium poppies, go to the grocery store to the spice isle and get a bottle of standard black (they're really dark blue) poppy seeds. Plant them everywhere. Even the seeds themselves contain trace amounts of morphine, codiene, theibaine, etc..hence why people test positive for morphine when they eat a poppyseed bagle. Get a few pounds of seed, wash in water and drink the water. Or just grow your own poppies. Think how many seeds you get 4 a few bucks

  • Actually, the seeds do not contain any psychoactive component. It is the tiny coating on each seed that does, You are correct that you can rinse them and catch a buzz (1kg yields approximately 100mg morphine) or used too. Now, the Tasmanian one's are thebaine yielding only which is not psychoactive in itself.

  • I know, it's just a coating on the outside of them since they were sitting in the sap in the pods. Interesting about the thebaine yeilds only. Thebaine isn't psychoactive, but it can definately give certain people a desired effect. I have to say though, no matter what, the tasmanian ones are extremely weak now, thebaine or not. Oh well, there's the drug war for you...the war on our souls and right to choose.

  • taxavier---i could be wrong but i believe that thebaine is the chemical model for percocet/oxycodone...a very nice painkiller

  • I know you were responding to Taxavier but I'm chiming in regardless. Semantics aside, thebaine is the alkaloid that can be manipulated into all manner of other useful opium alkaloids, including oxycodone, of which percocet is a brand name of oxycodone/paracetemol(apap). You name it, including codeine, morphine and buprenorphine, thebaine can be the mother of them all.

  • What? No. Morphine and codeine are the 2 main naturally occuring opiates (as well as thebaine & papaverine) in opium. Codeine is a pro-drug btw, as it turns into morphine after 1st pass metabolism. Thebaine is a terrible opiate on it's own and relys mostly on kappa receptor agoniszation, which mostly just makes you nausious and possibly sick (like sick sick). Thebaine is the base chemical used to create various opiods like oxycodone, methadone, and many other pharmaceutical opiods.

  • @TAXavier That was true until around two years ago. (BTW, sorry for the late response). Thebaine is now the alkaloid of choice amongst drug companies due to its easy manipulation into all psychoactive and painkilling opioids, including most of those you list. Methadone is not (AFAIK) one of these. It is a pure synthetic, as opposed to semi-synethetic like oxycodone and buprenorphine. I'm very much "up with the play" where this particular product is concerned.

  • @TAXavier

    Have you tried growing P. Somniferum yourself? Its a lot more practical I figure

  • @TAXavier The tazzie strain is supposed to be damn potent. The thebaine only poppy isnt cultivated for spice rack seeds so dont worry. The issue of strength is how much of the alkoloids are washed off.

  • @TAXavier You would have to eat like a gallon of poppy seeds just to catch a buzz, your better off just buying a beer. They sell dried poppy pods on ebay and on the internet. it is legal to sell them becuase many people use them for arts and crafts. It's just illegal to extract the opium. They used to sell them in flower shops but many cops talked them out of it. but thanks to the internet, they are back on the market and its legal to buy and send them thru the post office.

  • @flubno Actually a gallon of seeds (use weight when you talk about a solid) like 2-4lbs would get you very high. Sure you're better buying beer, if you like an inferior high. You don't need the internet for poppy seed tea. PST is for when you are waiting for your pods in the mail! :)

  • @TAXavier poppy seeds cab be expencive. Poppy pods almost always have free seeds inside them. They are pretty cheap too. poppy seeds rest up against the inner walls that have opium in them. When you can crush up the pods and extract the opium and dicard all the junk.

  • @flubno Yea, you can't walk into a store and get cheap quality pods. That's the point. It's not like I'd rather do seeds. Seeds in bulk are way stronger than seeds in pods btw. I honestly don't know why either. The seeds in pods are almost completely useless accept for growing.

  • @TAXavier Sadly, for me at least, that is no longer true here in NZ. As I mentioned, they're high yielding thebaine poppies now, as opposed to once being high yield morphine. Grrr... Glaxo and their ilk. Not that they'd give a damn because although the seed were once a great cash bringing by-product (ostensibly sold as baking spice or additive), they have thebaine, which means all manner of semi-synthetic opioid. Morphine et al are scarcely of interest when they have fentanyl and oxycodone.

  • @Thinkbeforeyoureply Does NZ refer to New Zealand? If so, I am on other side of world from you in New York City and local conditions differ. Who is Glaxo? What is thebaine (the bane?) Sounds sinister. Educate me please. Big push on Buprenorphine by Methadone clinics here. I am suspicious given history of interest and involvement of government and corporations in drugs and the addiction treatment.business. Methadone is bad enough.

  • @flubno How do you extract opium from the pods, what is step by step process? Please explain. I have never tried this. I also had always been told and believed that poppy seeds were useless for ingesting to get buzz unless eating huge amount. After reading here it is obvious that I was wrong.

  • @flubno Any particular site(s) on net you can recommend for supplies for dried flower arrangement craft projects i. e. pods, and also quality seeds for baking? I love poppy filled Mohn Cakes and Purim Hamantaschen originally called.mohn tashen.. Hebrew word for poppy seed is mohn = manna
