Sometimes you don’t find music, it finds you
Nick Cave makes me feel less alone with my sadness. He makes it feel like the darkness is okay. I'm so grateful for his music.
Yes..me too🎉
it is the artist originally work. the use of an artist is to touch he s own pain for make the pain of some peoples else less heavy
Heart and Soul, Nick Cave rocks our world.
So true,here IS Windy Day and all things are outside of my head,just listening wind
So beautifully said ... less alone with sadness. That's Nick Cave's magic power.
Some people say that it's just rock and roll
but it gets you right down to your soul
Da vero
He is on the Leonard Cohen level
This guy is a genius he has literally saved my life with his music and that is no joke i have been in some very dark places and this guys music has more than helped
Same here. His songs have been sole companions and comforters in very rough times, each in a different way. I feel so personally grateful to him (and Warren, cause come on... the guy’s a magician)
Time he rised for his people!
I understand you because i
I see my life days non stop to go to Berlin i wanna.help.me i ad such i Big heart 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Music helped me too. Take care
@@wds525 Your not alone son!
I've got through of all my depressions with this man's music...thanks to him so much, for keeping me alive and now i finally understood that darkness eventually passes away and the sky gets bluer.I love him like he is my imaginary friend or my soulmate.he is just putting my feelings into words and bless them with music ❤❤❤
I think this is the most touching performance at all. It's like a whisper between life and death. Nick Cave is a world class artist, thank you King!
Touching performance...to the very bottom of my soul. I can't stop listening to it...truly..I can't...
A whisper between life and death!! So evocative
Beautifully expressed.
"It's like a whisper between life and death".
That was beautifully phrased.
This is bigger than nick cave itself.
Everyone should buy this.
Nick Cave Art is aging like a finest wine.

This is the last album I got into, not so much any the newer ones, I found other new music instead. I love this album, it’s my favourite, it’s my Nick Cave peak.
Yes he is... most definitely! Nick Cave never ceases to amaze me with his creativity... Yet at the same time he's still young enough to still keep going. God bless him!
I was riding, I was riding
And I got myself a gun
I’m gonna come back one day
Show you how it’s done
I got a feeling I just can’t shake
I got a feeling that it won’t go away
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Keep on pushing
Push the sky away
And if you think you got everything you came for
If you got everything and you don’t want no more
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Keep on pushing
Push the sky away
Some people say it’s just rock and roll
Oh but it gets you right down to your soul
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Keep on pushing
Push the sky away
Well, thank you for the lyrics..
I found out that having lyrics in the top comments is so practic and pleasant.. especually for for those whos mother language isnt english. Thank you! :)
😊
I’ve never heard such a touching description of grief
I've never heard this song. I'm 54 yr old Australian and I recall everyone raving about Nick Cave for years...now I understand why. This made me teary. Extremely moving. Stunning.
Really?
Watch the Ashes bro x

Ja,mich 😢
Ich bin verdammte 61 Jahre alt, ein Mann der voll im Leben steht…. Aber hier heule ich wie ein Schlosshund. Und es fühlt sich richtig an.
@@DerVogelsberg 🎵😘
I could just keep this on a loop forever...so so beautiful and melancholy, gentle and courageous... exactly what we need in this cruel world to heal us.
We found what IS in us
His last three albums Push The Sky Away, Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen are in credibly important to me and what has happened in my life. Nick Cave has been a constant and he'll never know just how important and deeply helpful his music has and still is to me.
Some people say it's just rock 'n' roll... ahh, but it gets you right down to your soul.
Much love, keep pushing...
This new "era" has hit me hard. These are three very moving albums. Happy new year
Same here.
Same
Same for me, it is vital
Gorgeous version of a gorgeous song.
And that finale embrace, and the happy look on Warren's face, his arms tightly around Nick's back...
Yes, I live for moments such as this magical one.
So beautiful. No words.
I was riding, I was riding
The sun was rising up from the fields
I got a feeling I just can’t shake
I got a feeling that just won’t go away
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Push the sky away
And if your friends think that you should do it different
And if they think that you should do it the same
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Push the sky away
And if you feel you got everything you came for
If you got everything and you don’t want no more
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Push the sky away
And some people say it’s just rock and roll
Oh but it gets you right down to your soul
You’ve gotta just keep on pushing
Push the sky away
Wow.!!!
Beautiful lyrics
He's a genius
Thank you Nick Cave - this world is a much more bearable place with your music in it.
This is the best version of this hauntingly joyous song I've come across. No words. Just beautiful. Nick Cave's music ages like fine wine. Despite the dark storm clouds of of our age, the world is a little more hopeful with him and his music in it. I wish there was a re-recording of this song as it's performed so gorgeously in this version and put on all the music platforms.
YES!!!
Warren Ellis is such a great musician. Nick Cave is one of the kind. Respect
The hug at the end, between Warren and Nick, sums up the decades of hard work. Most ordinary folk never get to feel that moment, because they decide to forgo creativity.
Soul music
A master of words...
Touched by the melancholy of the melody.
The sun will rise after every dark night.
Keep on pushin.
Keep on pushing Nick... My most sincere condolences to you and your family for another tragic loss.
After all the pain in life, finding God is like finding your lost soul in +-Infinity space
Can't stop crying when I'm listening to this song :'(
❤️
same here
Nick cave is always pushing the perfection limits
:) yes he has it!!! :) :) :)
* the perfection no limits
one day my daughters asked me: daddy what does this phrase tattooed on your back mean? Push The Sky Away my love. This a song from a genius that your dad is listening in his entire life
Your answer to your daughter is simply...beautiful! Thanks for that!
Your answer is awesome as this song. Goosebumps.
Oh my god, i have push the sky tattooed on my arm, it's such an amazing point of connection. For me personally it's a truly inspiring statement.
Okay bur wtf does it mean...keep pushing your limits??
@@salvadorramires4431 If you ask me, my interpretation is that you have to step out of your comfort zone to make things happen. It's sort of an encouraging, inspiring statement for me. Nothing is impossible.
"Some people say that it's just rock and roll
Ah, but it gets you right down to your soul"
How true. Thank you for being and expressing all this!
It’s hard to believe that such a simple, lyrically sparse song can bring me to tears, thinking of loved ones I’ve lost, while also giving me the hope and strength to face another day. This may be the most perfect song, and this may be the most perfect performance of it. He even reminds me of the power of gratitude, when he thanks the other musicians near the end.
To borrow a couple lines, this song is everything I came for and it gets me right down to my soul.
it is not just a song, it is a cry to all those to uplift themselves to keep on searching for happiness beyond all those things that that you already have, that appear not to give you sustainable happiness. It is a song about Nick himself.
;)
The lyrics are just brutal.
Who had suicidal thoughs even likes the song more.
Life is not easy.
yep, gets to you right down to your soul . . . .
straight
Profoundly so as it seems...
Nick Cave is Genius
Pure Gold. ❤️
When you see Nick Cave and Warren Ellis hug each other you know it's gonna be alright
Sublime and cathartic. Artists like Nick Cave elevate the world. His interpretation of reality makes the world worth it.
well spoken, thank you!
Well said indeed. You put thoughts I never knew I had into words.
Its not Blaa Blaa
It is not getting any better then this. Painfully beautiful. Impressive.
2020 is the worst year in decades. But, on the other hand, this happened. So, you know. Keep on pushing.
Bluoo pnbv
Ton
what do you mean saying it was the worst year in decades?
84 was bad. But we knew where we were
Exactly. Gets 2020ier and 2020ier. Peace, my fellow human.
I was supposed to see him in may x(
What a beautiful, incredible song. It brings a tear to my eye, honestly.
Einfach wunderschön.
As a kind of ritual I listen at least once a month to 'Push The Sky Away'. Because I know that wonders need endurance - we *all* need perseverance.
Those lucky people in the crowd who got to witness this live. Nick Cave is the greatest Australian artist! Goosebumps.
Proud to be an Aussie , the birth place of this amazing man !
Yes Ben - imagine the rest of the performance that night, all the other arrangements they performed... being enveloped in all that emotion, right there. That’s love.♥️
Discovered Nick Cave in 2020 when I was at the lowest point in my life. Thanks to his music I have made this far in one piece.
is powerful and transcendent

I love - absolutely love - the fact that he is humble enough and honest enough to credit all those helping make this performance happen. And to do so right in the middle of the song, no less - guaranteeing the spotlight goes to them as he calls them out, even if for just a moment.
This man is a class act. ❤️
well phrased and you are absolutely right!
Cave, Springsteen, Brown, Bowie, Belafonte, Lydon, Strummer... best performers i ever saw.... And NO ONE does what Cave does better than Cave... he's Mephistopheles incarnate.... and now he's aging into spiritual anthems, kind of Leonard Cohen-izing himself.... I saw him tonight and loved it; but he has certainly evolved...
I think Nick Cave is a genius. He has got me thru very hard times. Wonderful man
Madeleine Sheffield I think it helps that (and I don’t say this to be glib) he has also been through the very worst of times. He is the fellow sufferer who understands.

Everyone on that stage knows they are part of something big. Something meaningful. Something powerful. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - THANK YOU. Sydney Opera House - THANK YOU.
Probably my new favourite performance ever. God sure is in the house!
Nick Cave is like us, pushing the sky away, voices over voices, people only without any kind of stranger
I see life
My God... I had not seen this. This performance gave me chills and made me teary-eyed. I'm in complete awe of Nick Cave's artistry.
That nearly bought me to tears. The version with the French kids was so good but this was its equal. I used to go to Nick's gigs over 40 years ago and everyone there was a punk but nowadays they're all dressed in suits and he's surrounded by classical musicians.
One of his best and emotional Songs at this point... Tks always
A world without this song, this LP, without Nick Cave is inconceivable even in these darkest of days.
Feel honored hearing and seeing Nick Cave just giving it all!!! Congrats from Greece 🇬🇷. Always by your side!!!!
Thank you all
Nick is on the same level as Leonard Cohen
No he is not.
He is on another level, my friend..
Both of them are the ultimate singers, but if we talk about the dark dark soul rising shine n holding everything from falling apart thru the art of music and lyrics, Cave is at the another level
@@user-uv1gr8ii7i Cohen and Dylan are the Daddy of Lyrics. Nick Cave is good but Dylan and Cohen go to the next level. Remember Cohen is the real poet , a published poet before he ever got into music.
“Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your perfect offering,
There is a crack, a crack in everything,
That’s how the light gets in.”
Your letters, they all say that you’re beside me now,
Then why do I feel alone?
I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web,
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.”
I don’t get tired of coming back here for this 💎
So it is beautifull , Im Polish and almost dont understant english but I feel this music of art.
Judging by your comment, your English looks to be pretty solid!
@@GuadalupePicasso Thanks !
Janusz Stankiewicz Nie ma za co!
" I know it's just rock & roll, but it gets into your soul." That's all you need to know
Oh Lord thank you for Nick Cave ❤
My thanks, my joy and my honour are assured to you all. Eternal. 🦋
Don't give up.....think of those you will leave behind,
stay the course...keep on pushing 🙏
So true
Mothers last Will done,My cat rest in peace. Nick coming Finland. There is meaning💌to me
❤️🌹✨🙏🏽
Thank God, I live long enough to witness such a legend with such a heavenly voice.
Awesome. Beautiful.
Nick and Warren, that hug, You see they love each other.
yeah, that hug means a lot ... I don't believe in God or Jesus Christ, but if they happen to exist, I think they are Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
If I had to name a favorite NC song, this would be it.
MASTERPIECE
I could listen to Nick Cave forever - then he adds the orchestra and choir - mesmerizing performance!
Great comment, great Nick Cave and his musicians and great your picture, David Bowie and his masterpiece Blackstar
Two of the last greatest true artists ..🎶
King is live❤...volimo te majstore
Every time I’m coming back to this song I’m just speechless
This song brings tears to my eyes every time.
I must watch this about thee time every week and it's just a magical as the day I first came across it. I love the way Warren stops playing to applaud the orchestra, the joy on the conductor's face and the reaction of the crowd to the choir. A lot of love in that room x

Einfach großartig.
The emotion and beauty of this performance is almost unreal, I'm not even trying to describe it with words. It's beyond that.
What is ecstasy? Perfection? The ability to touch deeply with the voice? What is catharsis? When comes a moment in time when you think for a short moment, "there can't be anything more beautiful"? I believe this piece in this version can be all of that.
Masterpiece.
Incredible song
This is pure love.
YES❤️
Definitely music can save a day. Thanks, Nick. This is definition of music, of art, of life. Something as precious than can even hurts. And then heals. Pure beauty.
Yes! Music transcends so many boundaries too. It's a uniting human force.
Beautiful music save my life daily and nick cave and the bad seeds are the best.!
perfect description!
@@rosegreen1483
Saves me too. ♥
♥♥♥
No matter how many times I watch this video, it hits home each and every time. Nick is a genius song writer and performer. A legend!
The lyrics on this versions says it all.
Can save people on the verge of suicide.
Now it's time to stand for Greece! Two train just crashed on 1st of March and 60 people just passed away with a median age between 20 an 30 years old!!! We are all deeply sad! Sing for THEM and their families! Sing until we see their faces smile again!
The way Warren and Cave embraces each other speaks volumes!
Nick Cave is a brilliant songwriter and performer. Always. I cannot think of one song he created that failed .... A magical evoker of deep emotion.
I don't know if you will see this, but, NIck, thank you for the depth of emotion that you have, from the beginning put into all you do. I have listened to you since discovering, sometime in the early 1980s, the first Birthday Party album appeared in the US. That was brilliant, and you have continued to offer brilliant, dark, deeply emotional music that I find beautiful. And you have shared much of it with beautiful videos as well. So I thank you, Nick Cave, for all of the dark beauty you have shared, including this lovely song.
Couldn't have said it better
@@wolfil8019 don't know how you did that, Wolfi L, but you managed to get inside my head and use the words I was about to say... I too, can plot my life's journey using Nick Cave's music as the soundtrack. If you get it, then you get it... Keep pushing
God is in the (Sydney Opera) House.
Ich stand mit einer bipolren Erkrankung lange Zeit vor meinem aus, 9 Monate Psychiatrie, nach einem harten Kampf habe ich ein neues Leben, mit diesem Lied sind die Erinnerungen wieder da und das Wissen es ist gut, ich danke mit diesem Kommentar meinen wunderbaren Töchtern und einer Frau, die in mein Leben getreten ist. Danke Nick Cave.
In my life, I've almost never cried listening to a song... This time I cried. This time, that was not just a song... And this performance is not from our world. Bravo
Great god I want the whole set.
One of the greatest song ever created by humanbeing
Bring on the whole show!
I want the Song for Bob....
It has to be !!!
I KNOW! Where can i see it??

I just can’t continue living in a cruel and horrible world where people need to hide and disregard their feelings in order to be deemed socially respectable and successful. I want to exit this madness.
listening to this song is like an exorcism of the soul. this performance makes me cry every time without fail
Im pushing the sky away beacuse I have my beautiful daughter, the smartest I would ever imagine, I'm pushing the sky away everyday I feel weak. She is my best gift, I feel precious every day. Every time I ask her what is she thankful for and loved for I hear "YOU MOMMY, every time you hugs me, showers me, give me food, read me a book" I'm dying. Cannot beleve. Its the time I spend with her, the time Im carrying with her, playing with her. It is my quality time. The meaning of life.
I fight to know what daughter got, IT takes 6years. ADHD.
Brilliant.. Astonishing..
I don't know if I would be alive without this man
Good thing to you and near ones
I'm painting and drunk and high and this song speaks to my soul ❤️
@@robynvanhornthat is one amazing experience man. Much love to you
I could listen this to the end of the world....
Just thank you Nick Cave!
That piano my God!! Those holy lyrics!! Thank you man...
This is a True Testament of his work as a Human and Performer. The Man and his Band are standing on a unbelievable Height.
This became one of my favourite Cave songs the first time I heard it. The haunting nature of its music, the lyrics that really do get you right down to your soul.
Performed with a full orchestra and choir it is a masterpiece. This is a wonderful performance.
Jou too lising all is music its so richting your heart and i read from and other fan goosbumps the totally true
It uniquely expresses the pain of a parent who loses their child, as in this terrible train accident in Greece, which was full of young people.
most intense music imaginable.
Nick Cave is possibly the greatest musician and artist that ever existed. I've fought most of my demons in life with his music playing in the background. He gives me strength to carry on.
I used to think ‘Prince’ held that title. Until I saw ‘Nick’ Live, touched my soul! (and I saw Prince 3 Times)
I sooooooo adore him... Those who love him, love him alot....
@@theresa450 more love than I've ever given anyone. Really.
I got teary with this. Really beautiful performance by everyone.
I am bawling, stunning soulful performance.
Wow.
Good god. That was breathtaking.
Deeply touching my soul 😌🙏 A Masterpiece ....💖🥰 Goosebumps
