[PUPSKIMUSIC]

Hey Nick C fans, im PUPSKI from Auckland, NZ please check my music im just starting out..could use the feedback! thanks heaps!

[lmorgan1974]

what a voice

[easty71]

Best version I've heard him sing.......beautiful song.......sad memories with it tho........still a superb song!!

[saxophongo]

Ohh...shiiit...this song ;(((

make me cry....

great perfomance

[jensmusicfaves]

I really loved this song... until I realized it ripped off the beginning of Brian Eno's 'Taking Tiger Mountain.' I mean, I still love it, it's just like I found out a boyfriend I was really into cheated on me or something.

[Sobansky]

Its the best song from Nick for me.I love it

[yenjey]

ehmm, ehhmm, ehmm

[yenjey]

Done.

[pedrofred555]

lisa mitchell's version of this song is amazing.

[tezhowes]

Amazing song. A great 'partial' cover by Boo Hewerdine: Search for 'I Remember - The Ship Song'.

[NothingFanboy]

This song is so beautiful. I love The Good Son, one of his best.

[lukehopely7]

Just appreciate the beauty of the lyrics, no need to analyze.

[yenjey]

@lukehopely7

cmon, yourent a budda

[ex0ja]

@lukehopely7 thank you.

[OneLayer]

Been listening to it for almost 20 years. It never gets old.

[Tan3l6]

Really sounds harmonical.

[Tan3l6]

If Nick Cave is under alternative category, then what the heck is mainstream a.t.m?

[jeremyboulton]

beautiful

[ccraines]

This was the song me and my wife had our first dance at our wedding in 93. T

[33Sake]

Колек молодец,заводит.

[shakarel]

Deep Love, thats this song is about!

[EMKTTHL]

This song is about deep-throating dick. Actually, it's not. This comment is awful.

[katrinktoes]

If it's not about an affair, then what does he mean by moral ground comes tumbling down? You people DO have an overly romantic view of it. "Loose your dogs upon me"? This is clearly a metaphor for the ravaging love that tears someone apart.

[asiswhereis31]

fucking fine song 

[Aniuka]

better then album version....

[Tyereskova30]

It' beautyful....His voice is similar to the singer of a hungarian alternative rock band: their name is QUIMBY, and the singer name is KISS TIBOR..

[StvanjaI]

SHIP SONG NAPREDUJE

[pixefeet]

@hamsagirl may this keep him ever closer, his heart beating in time with yours...

[TheRestlesswind1]

Time for me to plant this seed in a nice garden bed : )

From first hearing many moons ago...this song just tended to grow and grow!

[diecherfan1979]

Gänsehaut pur.



[TheIvulina]

how the girls like me find their nick....lokk like barbie and have soul like nick

[TheIvulina]

it is soo nice

[jdvhunt]

i just did a giant shit

[eggiwegsi]

this musik is gay

[RudaPunk]

@eggiwegsi But gays can love too. ;)

[Widdinho]

a brilliant, brilliant man.... if you ever thought of writing a song, listen to Nick for how a real genius does it....

[vmaluuuka]

"come sail your ships around me".......... :')

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[FirstEmily1973]

This song makes me cry every time I´m listening to it. I don´t know why, but it touches my soul deeper than any other song...

[eggiwegsi]

@FirstEmily1973 gay

[FirstEmily1973]

@eggiwegsi And what do you want to say with your sophisticated comment, egg? That I am gay? That Nick Cave is gay? That you are gay? If you are able to write a full sentence it would be so nice to read more of your brilliant thoughts. No, wait.... that was a lie.

[eggiwegsi]

@FirstEmily1973 cool story bro

[byMamasPlace]

Wonderful...love Nick Cave!

[RDubU2beChunnel]

this is how you write a song

[djeeedah]

This song is actually about a ship

[easty71]

What a fuckin tune....

[thessalonikiachick]

Come sail your ships around me... once again.... and please burn the bridges of your ego down.... *.*

[AlbinoGhandi]

what a faggot

[omgsomanynamestaken]

Perfect - Nick at his best!



[Hokowhitu76]

This song reminds me of a break up I went through in 98

[ancagabriela007]

"We make a little history baby, every time you come around!"

[waxarlequin]

How is this song sad, you idiots? Shut the fuck up telling each other to die, what's with the hatred? You don't belong in a Nick Cave video, CLEAR OFF.

[will58]

Easy Tiger! It's just an opinion. I'm not overly familiar with Nick Cave's work and after listening to this dirge-like, self-indulgent, bad Leonard Cohen impersonation, I don't want to be. If Nick Cave is the 'soundtrack' of your life' you must be sadder than your comment. Cheer up!

[MrK9nny]

@will58 its not a lenoard cohen impression what the fuck is that about. nick cave is amazing you are an IDIOT

[tibs2403]

@will58 The two are quite similar, but this is 100% Nick Cave. This is his style, the song writing and the way he sings.He's got a lot of work and it's all top songwriting. Try it a little, you might change your opinion. I hated his guts at first too, then something clicked. Try on Mercy Seat, which Johnny Cash covered, or Stagger Lee, or Do you love me... it's some of the guy's best work, and I don't think any of those resemble Cohen at all. This one song, I guess does for some reason...

[fishman017]

Talent par excellence.

[will58]

Nick mate, do us a favour, take a Bridge Walk and throw your self off the top.

You've re-defined depressing. This would the first song on a compilation called "Music to open a vein by'. You make Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, Tracey Chapman and Anthony and The Johnsons, sound positively chirpy. 'JUMP!!!!'

[aust247]

@will58

The whole 'Nick Cave - music to cut your wrists by' cliche was old twenty years ago.

Why dont you do yourself a favour, fuck off and listen to one of the million other music videos on YouTube if you find Nick Cave's music so miserable.

Nickelback would probably be more up your alley.

[yenjey]

@aust247 ++++++++++++



[oshiemoto]

Most played Australian artist on JJJ ever. Well done.

Thanks Nick for selebrating my 21 st birthday at Brisbane's last ever concert at festival hall.

[apoptygma77]

really love this song..  sad and hopeful at the same time

[terryhink]

Beautiful music.

[FeelZeal]

I love this song! It is not a sad song. I think it is about a relationship that is about to be more serious where he is ready to step up and accept the good and bad and fight for what they have he also wants to clip her wings call her his and she must find her freedom without her wings as from then on they are committed. They have known each other for some time and just can't resist the energy/magic they have that makes them surrender to each other when they are in each others arms. Andrea

[misstanstar78]

@FeelZeal what a beautiful way to describe it. tanya

[katrinktoes]

@FeelZeal I disagree with that assessment, partially. I think it is about an affair. Otherwise, why would the "moral ground" that they "define" come "tumbling down" when they are together?

[devilgunner]

@katrinktoes i don't see it that way, maybe i have an overly romantic view of it, i don't see it as an affair, i see it as someone who is really in love and someone who's at the point that he feels this is it and they're meeting halfway, they put everything out there, and in spite of the differences, they're gonna move forward

[sausackable]

@FeelZeal Yes that´s what it´s all about.



[pressove]

@FeelZeal It's not sad, It's simply beautiful.

[shakarel]

@FeelZeal well said! you understood this song!

[mrsmudd2009]

@hamsagrl - so sorry for the loss of your husband. a beautiful song to remind you of him. Sending you love honey xx

[oldman231161]

I'm glad I missed a lot of Nick's music, probably due to him being so much bigger in Germany and Europe before Australia. I have so much material I have to go back through for him.

[thex2thaz]

I wish my husband could join yours... Beautiful song never the less.

[hamsagrl]

This was my husband and mines song, he died 8 days ago. We were going to dance to this at our official wedding. I love you, John. John Giakoumakis 1972-2011

[AlyssaGoesToItaly]

@hamsagrl I'm really sorry for your loss :( This is a beautiful song. I'm sure your husband is with you in spirit, especially when you think of him so lovingly.

[VICTORIANUMBER]

@hamsagrl i really sorry for your lost , he was very young . wish the best for your family . ζωη σε εσας. god bless

[dons4europe]

@hamsagrl So sad , Remember the good times. Take care.

[boyhollow]

@hamsagrl I'm a January of 1972 and my life feels short. I'm sorry for your loss. I'll be raising my drink to John Glakoumakis tomorrow night, and to the future he'd want you to have.

[cranej84]

@hamsagrl i'm sorry for your loss. but at least you have an amazing song to remember him buy..peace

[0lestria]

@hamsagrl Your words brought tears to my eyes...

[VIPER03100]

@hamsagrl IM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS I WISH YOU LIVE TO REMEMBER HIM IM GREEK TOO AND YES THATS INDEED A BEAUTY FULL SONG...

[kiedisisgreat]

@hamsagrl Loads of love your way sweetheart. Its a beautiful song, so special. Music is the best comforter, and Nick's made the best music.

[thorazine666]

@hamsagrl MAY HE REST IN PEACE,THAT JUST GAVE THIS SONG EVEN MORE MEANING

[timezoner]

@hamsagrl

I am so sorry to hear that, now this song is even more special. Bless you!

[TheCharlotte2000]

@timezoner ikr so sad :(

[tasos21]

@hamsagrl Im so sorry to hear that hamsa i have just 4 words for u WE LOVE YOU...God bless you....John den tha se ksexasoume pote R.I.P from greece....

[whitenoiseization]

@hamsagrl Im so sorry.

[kiratsi]

This song reminds me of a song I heard the other day

[siliconesister64]

seen nick live at the palace in melbourne 2 years ago, my daughter and i just loved the performance it was truely electrifying, call upon the author live was just the best, i have never seen a better performer live anywhere... and a true blue spunk

[benjaminbaldwin1984]

Delivers like a Boss.

[tinyteishy]

to me this is about opening up, taking risks, and truly loving someone.. l adore this song so much, still searching for the love, but this song says it all

[blungazz]

This is shit

[MrK9nny]

@blungazz are you serious?

[2620productions]

@blungazz fuck off u aborted troll

[Rocktopus]

@miscuser69 Do not watch them, then?

[fouroverfour]

Holy crap, is that Chrissie Hynde sitting to his right? WIN.

[Flowmotion1000]

Nick is talented but he owes nearly everything to John Cale and The Pop Group.

[troublesaway]

i normally hate live versions as well but nick cave and a chosen few other artists really can blow you away live with a song youve listened to a hundred times. Thats an art-music-poetry baby!!!

[paulbran100]

I really love this song

[audiohex]

10 out of 10 Nick.

[LieutenantBekker]

He really does like boats.

[c0wb0y2305]

my name is nick but on another account

[elgintv]

just thought of an idea! -

The new three tenors: Cohen, Waits and Cave.

[geoffwoade]

@elgintv nice idea, but god knows what waits is as a voice ;)

[HeronimusBlueMovies]

@elgintv

Curiously enough you just named the three artists that all the females in my singing class have to choose from for our assessment. Strange coincidence :O

[JohnSmithAprilMay]

@elgintv a tenor trio comprised entirely of baritones? that's pretty interesting.

[elgintv]

@elgintv Well, OK... So then, let's call them the three baritones?

Whatever.

They should perform together.

[paulbran100]

you are the man

[damat81]

O yeah! That's IT!!! Love this song so much...

[harrypalms1112]

the bob dylan of punk.

[themiraclejones]

[295terry1]

I'll always love you little strange girl that you turn my life as i believe i do too. tattooed lady , lost you a million miles away from me i want to weep like old women do .you lost control again ...for the last time sadly .I'll be always in love with you no matter what ...nothing like your warm hag, kiss and friendship can't be the same or replaced by any other women

[295terry1]

Our song ,and always be. R.I.P. And keep an eye for me ,you've owned a great part of my heart ,soul and mind.

[killgorebill]

79 reasons why abortian should be legal

[kingjojothegreat]

@killgorebill or abortion, I agree. Really though, don't kill the unborn fetus, kill the parents, it's their fault.

[xristinaki1985]

@kingjojothegreat this is technically difficult

[Whipplememartin]

@kingjojothegreat Or send the dead little fuckers to me :) I'll eat them

[killgorebill]

@kingjojothegreat even better, as long as there is some killing involved ;-)....

[101drift101]

just discovered Nick Cave. Wooooooooooow! What plant was I living on?? Love it!

[bethlovesjeffbuckley]

I always kick myself for not proclaiming my love to him that day I saw him at the shops. DAMN YOU LIFE!

[LeandroJesskint]

77 people only like shit songs



[jetjepower]

OMG, I had to fall in love with someone to discover how beautiful Nick Cave sings.............. wow what a genius!!

[mirekkuzniar]

a great song!!!

[Adiellefinisterrable]

vieni a prendermi mio signore come in un gospel andato a male salvami spezza le catene sputa via tutto il sale dalle mie ferite che sento dolore liberami dal male tutto intorno non vedo che maschere tendimi la mano mi sono perso non so nuotare l'acqua è fredda ho paura di morire ma dimmi una parola che io sappia ascoltare questo posto sia una culla per i figli del mondo quest'estate non è fatta per restare le onde le sabbie le nuvole sponde di un altrove di bariste di bicchieri divetroandflights

[Zungguzungguguzunggu]

@matthewsobored

tomorow i will be kissed by the girl i love? too bad she lives in spain

[Fodderstompfluff]

Better than the  album version

[Person1036]

@Fodderstompfluff Just asking, but is your username a Public Image Limited song?

[Fodderstompfluff]

@Person1036

[numberojedan]

A gargantuan tune!

[mikkitig]

LOVE <3



[NeonBoneyard]

this song is perfect for getting drunk and wallowing is self pity while painting >.< 

[SPLIMLETLET]

@NeonBoneyard I hear you

[buttscrilla]

@NeonBoneyard spoken like a true Nick Cave fan

[SteveC937]

@NeonBoneyard Hell yeah!!! Blood on the bathroom floor y'all! :D

[SteveC937]

@NeonBoneyard Hell yeah!!! Blood on the bathroom floor y'all! :D xx

[iEatBoneDust]

@NeonBoneyard That reminds me, when I first started listening to Nick Cave, I was about 16 living in Wilmington, NC. We were all out one night getting drunk and this painter asked if we wanted to go to his house. We did, he was drunk as well, we asked if we could add to this painting he was doing, he said sure, the next morning he woke up and freaked out. He said he already sold it and everything! lmfao.

[LocaLaura3000]

@NeonBoneyard

Works without painting as well. Approved.

[fecalinferno]

@NeonBoneyard i don't get drunk and paint, but i do light incense and draw. the self pity is the same though.

[Loentjepluk]

@NeonBoneyard whahahaa that's exactly what I'm doing. Except for the painting.

[A1exiLex]

I don't know how to define Nick , but all I can say is "thank you"

[goldenhopper]

@A1exiLex I can, he's the new Tom Waits.

[mdwo01]

@A1exiLex Damn Good Comment

[OMAREALUX]

A genius among the rare, true talent shame that few people know and buy their albums is a great lady, thank you for introduce me DEMONIX is part of my life

[BennyOhTool]

I love baritone singers and bands like Nick Cave, Interpol, Editors, The National. Beautiful :')

[TheKalamarko]

Come sail your ships around me

And burn your bridges down....

[oYoYebutu]

If I were a musician, I would wish I wrote this song myself.

[CoirNoirify]

talent and sexiness

[audiohex]

Very nice. Wish I was there.

[MaryBellows94]

seine stimme macht ihn zu einen der schönsten menschen auf der welt

[jotacalvo]

Such a beautiful song...but since it's Nick singing, I'm convinced there's gotta be something disturbing about it. Maybe he's singing to a dead girl?

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

The guy also wrote one of my favorite movies. The proposition is one of the best.

[AmishDoom]

71 people finna get cut.

[deluxe77777]

Yeah that was good= thank you

[ashdyf1]

bolerocrew- Nick is not lipsyching..are you nuts? This is just beautiful..

[ashdyf1]

bolerocrew- Nick is not lipsyching..are you nuts?

[bolerocrew]

@ashdyf1

Yes, you are right. I am sorry for my comment. And it is a great, moving song.

[73me4u]

Speechless



[bolerocrew]

beautiful. But tthere's talent and there's lip synching. And I, for one, am sick of seeing passed off as talent. If it's so talented, then give us the real thing, please!

[SleeperNO]

@bolerocrew If You're insinuating this is lipsync, I'd urge You to listen to the album version a few times and then listen to this. In general there's a lot of lamesync all in the business, but in 98% of the cases it takes 30 seconds or less to spot. The remaining 2% might take a few listenings.

[bolerocrew]

beautiful. But tthere's talents and there's lip synching. Which I'm sick of seeing passed off as talent. That''s "entertainment" . If it's so talented, then give us the real thing, please!

[DJPVO]

3001st thumb up...

[MrKenhall72]

How the hell did 71 people dislike this??

[winstonhallcomedy]

one of my favourite all time songs

[thebeautifulosers]

lo amo

[goddessvaala]

Does anyone know if you can get this particular version of this song anywhere?
