wish there was a better video, but at least I can hear the song...

[RedLeftFist]

Yeah my first video, made in a night, just for trial. Enjoy the brilliant song.

God, this is beautiful; I heard almost everything from Cave & Bad seeds and never heard this one... And now I can't stop listening I'm enchanted.

[RedLeftFist]

Yes, I agree hdagelic. It's a beautiful song with all the meaning of the word :) Well, it's from the disc B-sides and Rarities ( in case you don't know ) ...

If you try to imagine the scene... I mean... This is such a clear expression of love for someone, if she left You'll forever remember everything of that moment; what did she wear, how many coachers did the train have and when did she tie her hair. No, this is fantastic.

I like the way the Bad Seeds try to create a train-like sound. Before the first verse, we even hear the train's whistle. Because of the rhythm and the 'puffing', dragging sound of the instruments, it's almost as if we hear the train moving, moving away from him, carrying her. Either or not with a tie in her hair. The song fades out, just as the memory.

Again, I think this is a very good, haunting Nick Cave song. It shows the man's ability to unite text and music into a perfect composition.

@nxsus6 It is "How many coaches long..." "Not cultures"

[nxsus6]

Thank you for posting this. I heard it years ago on the 7 inch vinyl single of the Ship Song... stayed with me all these years and it is wonderful to rediscover it.
