Tender Prey est le cinquième album de Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, paru en 1988. Bon nombre de fans le considèrent comme l'un des albums les plus puissants du groupe. Au moment de son enregistrement, Nick Cave traversait une période difficile de sa vie.

Tender Prey contient le titre fétiche de Nick Cave, The Mercy Seat, qu'il joue lors de 99 % de ses concerts depuis 1988, et qui a été repris par Johnny Cash. Il s'agit du monologue d'un condamné à mort. The Mercy Seat, le "siège de la miséricorde", est dans la chanson à la fois une allusion au trône de Dieu dans l'Ancien Testament, et à la chaise électrique sur laquelle il va monter; la chanson est pleine d'allusions religieuses.

Paroles : Nick Cave - Musique : Nick Cave / Mick Harvey

  • An Orouborous tress making zephyr love stories on the edge of Hades, twining about the neck of Cerebus, a songwriter one can always trust to pen a good one son.

  • C'est gainsbourg le pianiste ?

  • I have only one dream- to see Them live. Even without Mick and Blixa... The best fucking rock in suit smashing my mind.

  • @drumgold23 It sure is a master piece. I think one can twist it and turn and look at it in many different ways, still not being certain of one true answer to the question "did he do it?". I get the feeling he did have something to do with it,but he's protecting someone, like a friend, or a brother... Maybe someone else did it, and now he has to take the fall, consumed by guilt.... Or maybe he did it as a favour for a loved one. Lol, I'm rambeling, I just think it's really iteresting...
