The first time I heard this song I was heartbroken, I couldn't stand listening to it. Hit too close to home. Hearing it all this time later, man, I love it. Brilliant song.
I was watching the intro of The Disappearance of April Jones, Channel 4 and suddenly I hear Nick Cave’s voice…I have just searched and found it is Grinderman.. Wow, what a beautiful, tragic, haunting song I’m never going to stop listening to this song now ❤️
Like a far flung star There you are Littlest than before As you slip from my fingertips Left me here on the burning shore Searched and searched Ah, you were worth so much More than you ever thought you were Everything you believe I still carry with me Broken down on the burning shore And it must have felt much easier To have the stars along your side And it must have felt much easier To have the world along your side A Daddy's girl I see you curl And sleeping on the floor Maybe you dream a little dream of me Down here on the burning shore Yeah, there you are Attached to a star Beyond the point of no return Maybe you ought to spare a thought For those of us down here who never learn And it must have felt much easier To have the world along your side And it must have felt much easier To have the stars along your side
Just shows what an absolutely brilliant band Grinderman were f they could afford to 'jettison' a fantastic song like this from their official recorded works.
Amazing song. Absolutely perfect. This song came on my ipod while I was out for a walk and there were a TON of stars out... perfect song for the moment. Thanks for sharing!
I thought about this song and this video while I was watching the movie Gravity. Would have been good on the soundtrack considering Ryan was lost in space and her daughter had died on earth. This is a great song. Wish I could buy it someplace. No longer offered on the Grinderman web site.
Wow.I loved Grinderman 2 when it came out.Palaces Of Montezuma is no longer my favorite song.This one is damn beautiful.Why am I just finding it now?? I thought all the b-sides were simply remixes.Seriously,though ... This is Cave at his best.Wish it made the album.
what a good good song...."it must have felt much easier to have the stars all on your side"...brilliant lyric...the antithesis of it makes it so potent.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.
Nick Cave ,the greatest musician of our time💫

Absolutely number one,and beyond!
One of the best of nick cave

Should be a song that everyone knows. Brilliant.
I discovered this song last night while watching “the disappearance of April Jones” on channel 4, absolutely heart breaking.
Such a shame ain't it what a poor little girl rip April Jones

Snap.
Ditto 😢
It's unfair. This song is absolutely beautiful, and no one has listened to it, hardly. What a fucking shame.
I have just discovered it and I will listen to this song forever ❤
Like a far flung star
There you are
Littlest than before
As you slip from my fingertips
Left me here on the burning shore
Searched and searched
Ah, you were worth so much
More than you ever thought you were
Everything you believe I still carry with me
Broken down on the burning shore
And it must have felt much easier
To have the stars along your side
And it must have felt much easier
To have the world along your side
A Daddy's girl
I see you curl
And sleeping on the floor
Maybe you dream a little dream of me
Down here on the burning shore
Yeah, there you are
Attached to a star
Beyond the point of no return
Maybe you ought to spare a thought
For those of us down here who never learn
And it must have felt much easier
To have the world along your side
And it must have felt much easier
To have the stars along your side
Nick, don't leave us
All on your side... not along!
🖤✨
I think I'm gonna learn this one on guitar tonight!

I could recognize his voice everywhere 😍
All bow to the GRINDERMAN!!

There can be nothing harder then the loss of your child. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Especially when another person assumed he had that power to take them from you hope he rots in hell
This will be the final song I listen to before I die. Probably.
The Neon God hope you still with us. Stay strong, dear stranger
What a beautiful and moving song. Thank you.
Best song for going deep and crying emotions out ❤
What a nice song.. I love Nick Cave..and Ellis' violin is so breathtaking.. this video fits perfectly.. Thank u

Had the exact same experience. Montezuma was my favourite thing from Ginderman, but this is on another level!
Just wish this song was available in the US.
just flawless -
Should re-issue the album and add this back on, would of sat really nicely on the album.
The best video ever.
what a good good song...."it must have felt much easier to have the stars all on your side"...brilliant lyric...the antithesis of it makes it so potent.
ugh one of my favorite songs and I hate how it's one that isn't available on google music!!!!
It is available from Amazon xx
Oh god. A great video interpretation. I love it, very great impressions of mother earth compared with good music. It matched - thanks
TMS
simply beautiful.
LOVE IT!!!!
My dance company did a lyrical dance to this song
🖤
Good description.
Tudo que o Nick Cave toca como músico virá ouro.
i can't see the stars in city life. it's hard to be an adult.
