Nick cave and the bad seeds : New morning

One morn I awakened
A new sun was rising.
The sky was a Kingdom
All covered in blood
The moon and the stars
Where troops that
lay conquered
Like fruit left to wither
Poor spiritual food
And the spears of the bright sun
All brave with its conquest
Did hover unearthly
In banners of fire
I knelt in the garden
Awash with the dawning
And a voice came so brightly
I covered my eyes
Thank you for giving
This bright new morning
So steeped seemed the evening
In darkness and blood
let there be no sadness
no sorrow
there'll be no road too narrow
There'll be a new day
And it's today
For us

I read in the back of the album that this record is dedicated to the memory of Pixote, murdered by Sao Paulo police forces.

@manicbabyshambles123 I miss him so very much.I have had the privilage to have been at several Gun Club concerts,and later on a few solo ones(during the blues periode,just before his death).I even got to know him personally,he stayed at our home for a weekend.He died shortly after.Still;how many of your all time fav heroes do you get to play with on your own piano and watch sleeping on your couch?I tucked him in with a kiss!He was a sweet man.And the worstest bestest singer of all time.

@manicbabyshambles123 Maybe Secret Fires is a close second thinking about it.

@hildaatje Actually I can't think of an example as good as My Man's Gone Now, it's amazing, good choice. x

@manicbabyshambles123 haha!Great example,and how about My man,s gone now?So out of tune,but so very haunting.Maybe even because of that.
