"You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now."
Nick Cave's words still cut like a knife.
yea even the most faithfull person has moments of solace and despair
This song feels a lil bit like a thunderstorm coming from a far distance, slowly coming closer, getting more and more threatening with every breath that you take, with every second that passes. Beautiful. This is poetry. This is art.
Had you heard Carnage before you wrote that?
This song is like a rain cloud
That keeps circling overhead
Here it comes around again
And it’s only love
With a little bit of rain
And I hope to see you again
He's never made music to please the critics or address a market. Pure, unadulterated artistic expression. Breathtaking.
Yet he is one of the most critically aclaimed artist of all time. Genius.
Terry Lee this was Gary lightbody's inspiration to their song a youth written in fire. Go watch it truly amazing.
It's pure BS. And very dark.
You are fucking dead on there. If you haven't seen him live yet, do yourself a favor and go see him and the bad seeds. Religious is what I felt about it
Been listening since Birthday party days, always vibrating and transforming
Sitting alone in the dark this album takes me away thank you Nick Cave
I think people who say this is boring are TOTALLY missing the point, this is 6 minutes of emotional catharsis. It isn't meant to 'entertain you', it's meant to depict an emotion entirely at the behest of the songwriter. Cave is clearly broken and I think this record will be a challenging listen. The man is a true artist who seeks solace in his own art, whether you enjoy it or not isn't his concern and never has been.
Fuck him -- If he doesn't care if anyone likes what he does, what is the problem then? He's not Leonard Cohen and never will be. Leonard Cohen has a better sense of humor for one thing. He's also a better poet. Cave's better off when he's doing things like Grinderman and not trying to be Leonard Cohen Jr. Even Warren Ellis told him to stop writing songs with the name "Jesus" in them. But he can't stop. Any criticism of this album will be shaded by the fact that Cave's kid died, so if you don't like the album it will be said you're a heartless, terrible person. But as even you admit, that shouldn't be the criterion for judging a work of art. If Cave doesn't have to care, neither do we.......
Not really sure what your point is. I love Nick's music (since I was a kid in the 80s) and I don't need him to care about me or what I like for that.
The problem is people listening to this with a sense of entitlement. I'm a huge Nick Cave fan, do I expect to like everything he puts out? Of course not and I don't! But his integrity is why I love him. Also everything you've said about Leonard Cohen is a subjective matter of opinion, I don't think Cohen and Cave are even comparable in a lot of ways despite being a fan of both. I don't want an artist/singer that gives a shit about listenability in order to sell records, I'd rather something honest, regardless of how unenjoyable or badly reviewed it is. Do I think it should be shielded from criticism because it's about his bereavement? Also no, but to expect him not to create a concept album that may be a challenging or even arduous listen is incredibly naive and misinformed, you only have to look at his back catalogue which has spanned nearly 30 years. Nick Cave does what the fuck he wants, this is why I like him.
Fans often have a sense of entitlement, is my point. The fact you've taken it personally is your problem.
People are acting surprised that this song is like a 6 minute funeral dirge, what do you honestly expect? This is Nick Cave, where have you even been?! It was hardly gonna be Dig Lazarus Dig.
Ouch! When I red Arthur's last words being "Where am I, where am I", many sentences in the lyrics makes sense, a sense that hard to bear. "I'm calling" for example. like a guiding father. All characters he's describing, like seeing him in everything, like possible lives he wished his son could have (even the most miserable ones, rather than him passing away). and "jesus alone" title.... he feels like lousy God that didn't protect his own son and now calls for him. sort of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar, but with a character twist (from dad to son) ouch! maybe it's my dramatic side. but all these came to me, and came too strong. A strength that I wish for my dearest Nick Cave. I love this man so much, and I'm so sorry.
this song was actually written before Arthurs passing ): "Some songs, such as brooding opener Jesus Alone, were written before events changed the album irrevocably, which makes the song’s sledgehammer first line - “You fell from the sky, crash-landed in a field near the River Adur” - shockingly prophetic. "

This is brilliant. He's the poet that exposes the fears and frailty of humanity.
Wow, the few Nick Cave songs I’ve heard so far have been real trips. Glad to have found such a compelling artist.
You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
With my voice
I am calling you
You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
Let us sit together until the moment comes
With my voice
I am calling you
Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
One of the great artists of our time. Mesmerising song. Looking forward to the album.
It must take unimaginable strength to remain creative after the death of a child. Nick Cave, I am in awe of your spirit's power.
Perhaps that catharsis provides a bit of sanity...
Pretty sure this song was one of the songs he wrote BEFORE his son died during the Skeleton Tree sessions. He mentions in the documentary how his recent music was almost prophetic for his own life and the tragedy that was to come.
2 sons now... Fucking tragic
@@nicknickson3650 yep, it was the first I believe that he wrote for this album, back in 2014
the music, the words, the voice, the emotion... a true original our Nick Cave...
I'm shocked...how "beautifull" can a father express the devastating pain of losing his son...Speechless : 6 minutes of pure art
I feel for you, losing a child is devastating. Nick Cave is much closer to God than he realises, for God is in him as in you too. Most beautiful, haunting music and lyrics.
The goosebumps come in waves, sometimes in order, other times irrepressible. Thank you Nick. Always.
God I love Nick Cave. He's beautifully talented.
Good God the sound of pure grief captured and it's terrifying and beautiful...
Slazem se...
Potpuno :D
Ovo je genijalno!
I agree. A definition of 'grief' in the dictionary should be this song.
Indeed...
The experience of rapture through spiritual sublimity... He reaches into the æther and brings back the Boone, this gift for us all.
"We are not here to save the world. But to save ourselves. But in saving ourselves, we save the world." -Joseph Campbell
Your work has been a part of my life since I was 18, I'm now 55. Thank you Nick, you have always been there, you have never disappointed me. Love, peace and strength to you.
So many times have I drowned myself in the despair of death coming through this song... I heard it live on the Ejekt Festival in Athens, Greece 2 years exactly ago. I remember myself feeling like melting when he performed this. I remembered my mother who left us 7 years ago in such young age. I remembered each single time that I wished I was dead and not feeling anymore. This song was an emotional catharsis for me. I felt loads of pain and relief after that. But now I know that I don't care when death will find me, the whole story is to die happy enough. I'm surely not happy, but I'm exprerienced and that is a whole motive to have.
Hey what’s up… hope ur better.
Great expression ❤
What makes this album different is that NC doesn't care about the reception. It is creativity spawned purely by grief, pain and suffering. That's the motivation.
I never get tired of listening to this masterpiece. Every time I listen I hear something new.
No words for this masterpiece of grief..... RIP Arthur...
Greece loves you mr. Nick and you know it
What we wouldn't do ,to ease your heavy and closing in ,shutting down soul ..............There is one more to go Dearest Nick μας.......and then you are free to choose...............................my eternal love and gratitude for all that you are ................
So hauntingly beautiful. Arthur is present in every word. "With my voice, I am calling you." I too, have lost a son. I have always loved his music, but it speaks to me even more now.
So sorry for your loss. Hope you're doing okay.
@@michelecrostsmitherdon3864 Time does not cure at all (((( it becomes even harder. i miss my daughter so much...
@@djlulu79 I'm sorry for your loss.
Only few can take such tremendous pain and turn it into beauty.
He fell from the sky , crash landed in a field by the river Adur ....
Love it. You can see the grief in his eyes, poor bloke.
A haunting song made all the more powerful, by the image of Mr Cave's grief stricken
face.
No one has been there throughout my life as Nick has been. I cannot even count how many times I saw him perform in Detroit. Once even when he was involved in a scandal for being mugged trying to score. I remember the early 80s and the ‘From Her to Eternity’ tour, watching a Wim Wender’s film and there was Nick: a powerful player. Smoking weed with Belxia and now Warren. Nick always raises standards. He is that intense. He never ceases to marvel. Yet words of praise only humble him. That is his genius he remains humbled and simple, only trying to say something meaningful-a humble observer rather than a judgmental crucifier. A
wise man, a loving father and husband. Nick is Breathless.
I've just watched this back-to-back seven times. I'm on the eighth time through now. I just cannot tear myself away.
Music from another time, from another planet, from another dimension. Universal poetry of pain and sorrow. Thank you, Nick and The Bad Seeds. Looking forward to see you in October in NY.
One More Time With Feeling has to be one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever watched, and this song here is probably the most essential part of it. His pain is so tangible that it almost feels too private to be watched...but still you're somehow glad to be able to share his feelings. I'm devastated, and I love him more than ever. And the music is excellent, though quite difficult.
dat Earth pan though. :P
really curious to hear some b sides. House Fly maybe
"you're a distant memory in the eyes of your creator, don't you see". "With my voice I'm calling you, let us sit together until the moment comes". "Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes". Gut wrenching. And the sound. Synthesizers and strings. wow.
this man never fails to grab your heart and squeeze it with his poetic ballads. then he can rock your world with nick the stripper or red right hand or palaces of Montezuma. he is truly talented in so many ways.
I've never tried to rank Nick's music, it's all a different work of art and stands alone. Yet now, after playing this song everyday (sometimes twice or more) since my first listen consumed my every emotion, I must say without question, it's the most remarkable piece he's ever created. I am in awe of this artist.
Mr Cave go on. I am amazed with this album. I understand that you don't have anything to prove to anybody time ago and even. I respect your way of grieving and thank you for being the man and artist that you are.
Haunting beyond belief. It takes so much strength to continue living after such a terrible tragedy, let alone be continuing as an artist. God bless Nick Cave.
A Moon Shaped Pool, Blackstar and now Skeleton Tree this year sad af
Don't forget Swans' The Glowing Man and PJ Harvey's Hope Six Demolition Project! Not sure I'd call those two albums sad really, but either way it's been a great year for music IMO.
Jeff Buckley You & I, just that Bob Dylan cover alone off it is sad shit
Matt Corby - "Telluric" aswell, another great Australian artist
yes but hey ! they made albums, maybe sad ones but yeah...
A Moon Shaped Pool isn't sad at all to me, it's uplifting if anything.
2016. There's still nothing in the world like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Profoundly beautiful
I admire this musician.
I just came back from watching One More Time With Feeling, and it was one of the most trippy, deeply haunting films I've ever seen. I'm still decompressing from the whole experience, which is what it really was, it was ....
One of the most deeply haunting movies I've ever seen. It was .... amazing.
it truly was...
i just saw it too!! such a deep movie
Managed to watch the film last night in the cinema. Unreal. I've never seen anything quite like it. 'Jesus Alone' and 'Magneto' stood out for me. The film really shows just how much of a rock Warren is for Nick.
wow, it is einstuerzende walker trip... luv it
A true personal story
I've been a fan of Nick Cave since I was 10 years old
Incidentally, the admiration here in this country for this singer is unparalleled in the world
One day a fine in 1996 Nick in the passed front of my in middle of Jerusalem ... I tried to talk to him, but I could not say a word (I was 18), I was shocked from the depths of my soul
Dreams come true, and we create our reality
I can not wait to see him live in Tel Aviv in November
Ido Sasson
israel
Hope you're coping as well as you can Mr. Cave.
What happened to him ?
His teenage son fell off a cliff and died last year.
Just saw that… so that's the catastrophic event he's talking about in the trailer
I would think so.
Yes, it is. The director of the new movie said that the whole movie is basically about Nick dealing with his grief.
This will be seen in time as some of if not his greatest work.We are blessed that he can still write and sing and that he finds solice if possible in his work.Our love and prayers are with you Nick.Blessed be
"With my voice, I am calling you."
I get the chills every time I hear that line.
Dont ever dis Nick Cave .Been Loving His Music and Mind for many years .
Thanks Nick Cave for your music. I love it 💖💖💖
Really beautiful Nick, hypnotic. Can feel the pain of your grief in the sound. When Peter died I dreamt he came and took me up to the Milky Way, he held my hand as we were sliding blissfully through the galaxy...then I saw myself on the bed and my daughter trying to wake me up....and the next minute I was awake. It can be a strong pull when you lose someone you love, and you are lucky u still have some loved ones alive around u..for shelter and to love. There is so much hatred in this world and so much intolerance of people who are eccentric...so many lies and disinformation confusing everyone, its hard to know what is true, and who is true. Losing a child would have to be the hardest thing to live through, I hope you keep writing emotive gems like this.
I love Nick's music and I love the fact that he mentioned my hometown of Tijuana in this song. I wish I could meet him in person one day and hug him and tell him how his music has changed my life. There is a before and after listening to his music.
Fitting lyrics as expected
...it hurts to watch. It hurts to listen. I love you Nick.
This is a beautiful piece of music, God is with you.
I like his body movements when this song is performed, like theres a melody within it that only he can hear, that isn't what we're hearing. It just makes the song more enigmatic
. _"Between though and expression lies a lifetime"_ (Lou Reed). Your music gave a voice to my emotions. I wish you all the strength of the world.
Just watched the film and I'm speechless. After it ended nobody was talking, nobody wanted to leave the cinema. We were just sitting quietly.
I want to watch it but I live in Thailand. :(
same experience
which movie are you guys talking about here ?
One more time with feeling. it's about the death of his son and making the new album.
Yeah, which film..?
such suffering loss of a son
couldn't imagine the grief what
courage to continue the cause
We are all Jesus alone
Cage you are a minstrel ballads of our fears
Nietzsche discusses tragedy as a successful merging of Apollonian intellect and Dionysian abandon. Nick Cave gets it. Very few artists allow others into their Gethsemane, a place where anguish thrives on grief. At 65 , I've lived and loved life, the whole of it. Nick Cave goes beyond mere industry and offers answers for those who know what questions to ask.(The comments of the few WTF people herein will probably never get beyond WTF, more's the pity.) I'm all over the place with my musical likes. My love is reserved for the few: Joni Mitchell, Nick Cave, Laurie Anderson. Thank you for this treasure.
this is beyond music
Sounds haunting. Like he is in a ghost world looking for someone.
He is.
stranger things
umm you do know that his son died in an accident? This album was made after that.
I think they had started to write and record the album when it happended. And of course the whole thing stalled - and when they started to work on the album again it took a whole new direction than what was planned in the beginning.
Jim Jarmusch must use this sweet and powerful music in his next film ♥ Thank you NCATBS !
Nicks music matures like fine wine.
Ian Curtis up in the sky saluting Nick Cave for this one.
It may be too soon to make this call, but this could be on par with "The Eternal."
Joy Division= Most overrated post-punk band.
Lol good joke
because they are good lol not overrated just the t shirts are overrated but most people can't even name one song
Brilliant, haunting, beautiful, tragic..what an album!
One of his best songs. Hands down.
We all miss you Mr. Cave, you have an angel
Sang purely from his heart... RIP
Warren is like a sorcerour commanding something none of us simple humans understand.
greatest communicator of thought and feeling is Nick.
Oh this album is going to be so beautifully heart wrenching. Welcome back Mr. Cave.
God Bless Nick and his family
So sad that his son died :(
Welcome back Nick!
You were missed
Nick Cave and Warren
they just released a new album together called Carnage.
Feel guilty watching so much pain - beautiful and awful. A soundtrack to all the loss in this world. So sorry for your loss, Nick.
This song is almost too beautiful to exist. The pain is real though...
"You believe in God but you get no special dispensation for this belief now. You're an old man sitting by a fire. You're the mist rolling off the sea. You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?"
Wow
He paints such mind pictures.
\
KILLER lyric in arsenal of KILLER lyrics!!!
Yes
I especially noticed this part as well.
I don't comment if it's truth or what. some say it has darker tone but I think we are the believe maker of ourself. one way or another. we tell our self to believe before we realised.
Amazingly beautiful song. Thank you, Mr. Cave
True pain not fictional, this is what grief sounds like , not the biggest cave fan but respect a true musician .
I classify my sexuality as "Warren Ellis conducting string crescendos".
He is a brilliant madman. I loved seeing him live, it was like watching someone intimate with their instrument. Brilliant.
@@JennB331973 check out dirty three. warren was/is one of the three, somewhere in one of their videos,nick jams with them in a hotel room
Keeley Ross I cant like this post hard enough.
Those arms are eagles' wings
there are no words...........................
Mr. Cave put them all in these lyrics; no more needs to be said.
You got it wrong, there are a lot of words.. kind of expecting the unexpecting. I liked the other ''wrong' in the last album better, like Jubilee Street. What to do with this?
poo
and flush?
*****
there is books on amazon buddy :)
Transcendent,unique,heartbreaking,emotive,poetic,painful,exquisite....Nick Cave encompasses all this and more.
Hypnotic and somber.
Wow. Even by Nick Cave standards this is an amazing track.
Everything he does is mesmeric. Fans, like me will worship it. Non fans will call it turgid shit.
I am often surrounded by charm of hummingbirds. Their medicine of joy healing me.
There is something hauntingly aquatic about this, from Warren conducting the strings reminiscent of a humpback breeching to the eerie cetacean-like sounds. I've had this song in my head since I saw it last night.
To this, my few elect friends, you listen with your guts and the marrow of your bones.
I hear your voice Mr Caveman and I salute you.
Sincerely,
a young girl full of forbidden energy flickering in the gloom
The music is really interesting. The more and more I listen to push the sky away the more appreciate it and I'm glad he's making more of these dark, atmospheric pieces.
Thank you for Everything Mister Cave! :)
Happy 60th birthday Nick Cave!!!
Holy shit this is brilliant. Sounds like we're going to get something more brooding and fiery than 'Push The Sky Away'. Love that fuzzy bass synth pervading the whole track
As a side note guys, I'll be putting up a guide to Nick Cave & TBS discography Thursday 8th in prep for the new album, so come and check it out if you fancy it!
Yes, what I listened of this album seems like an exploration of the eponimous track. Not very catchy, but definitely growing on me.
Maxime Teppe it isn't suppose to be catchy it is an album about the death of his son.
I meant it didn't trigger immediate and unconditional love like other cave songs that are more...conventional (like abbatoir blues and the lyre of orpheus).
It's great, but it gets some work to get into it, and that is all i meant.
Wow, sounds peachy.
This is truly splendid. I have been reluctant for some time to listen to Push The Sky Away because it was the first album without Mick Harvey nor Blixa Bargeld… Well when I finally listened to it I realised how stupid and a fool I had been. Now if the rest of Skeleton Tree offers the same shades of beauty and purity than Jesus Alone, we will be proven that Warren Ellis is maybe the most talented Cave's musical partner of the whole Bad Seeds history. Seeing him directing the strings section gave me intense goosebumps. I'm looking forward the 9th of september.
I agree. Warren Ellis is supremely talented.
I don't understand why certain Nick Cave fans have such a big problem with Warren Ellis. I love Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld but Nick Cave has moved in a different direction. He's not going to write From Her To Eternity over and over again so get over it. It's like complaining that Scott Walker won't sing ballads anymore. Besides, Warren Ellis is fantastic and anyone who saw One More Time With Feeling witnessed how vital he is to Cave right now, not only as a collaborator but as a friend.
Barnabé Gauci seeing them earlier this year confirmed to me that warren ellis has always been the real genius behind the unique sound.
He was incredible. At times stealing the spotlight from an electrifying nick cave.
The two of them feeding each other with no one else to interfere was nothing short of incredible
Beautiful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can’t get enough of this.
One of my favourite songs. So calm, so dark, so full of energy
This is a wall of sadness.
The whistling effect with the drone makes this song sound a little Scott Walker-ish.
People always said I'd like Scott Walker because I'm a huge Nick Fan. I'm embarrassed to say I've never gone there yet.
+dean mccaskill check out Pola X soundtrack, there are a lot of periods of Scott Walk, the parallels are certainly there, you may dig it
+dean mccaskill tilt
And the dirty three, howling wolf , john lee Hooker , Einstuzende Neubauten and Crime and the city solution
I watched the movie "One more time with feeling" at the première in Venice and it was the first time I did not do the jumps of happiness for something new of Nick . This is his only film that I would not have wanted to see. All my love to him and his family.
An ode to depression and a sonic delight, fecking excellent Cave
Hypnotic. So deceptively simple but rich and complex too. Cave really has started to use less to create more, and alot of this music is in the spaces, the parts left unspoken or unplayed, but hinted at and pushed up against throughout the song. Not exactly sure how many times I would listen to it - its not exactly an easy to repeat song - but very enchanting nevertheless.
thought the same but i found myself listening it on repeat
