I have listened to Nick Cave’s music for over 12 years, and it is a source of comfort and familiarity for me, but when I lost my grandparents to COVID a few years ago, his music took on a source of grounding sanity for me. I miss my grandparents dearly, and my grandfather would usually get Nick Cave confused with the actor Nicholas Cage. I always thought that was funny. I will always listen to his music, and if I go astray from it, I will always come back to it eventually. Thank you, Nick
I’m currently going through a really tough time in my life, I was lucky enough to to see Nick Cave live a couple of weeks ago in Dallas and bought his book right after the concert. I’m currently reading it and it has helped me comprehend my internal monologue in a clearer way, it made me feel like the suffering was not meaningless. God Bless Nick Cave
Nick is one of my favorite artists of all time. Ghosteen is an incredible work of art, and has helped me through my own grieving on multiple occasions.
@@madamedellaporte4214 He’s never gotten any airplay or much recognition at all in the United States. He has a fan following that they worked very hard to create from their extensive touring, but I’ve never met another of his fans here in person, in my life, and most of the people I know are big music fans.
I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur when Nick brought his 2 sons into the theater I work at to see a show years ago. I remember entertaining the boys while Nick was being pestered for autographs. It was very sad news of his passing.
People’s loss of their children always affect me so hard. I don’t think I could survive it. I lost my mother really young but a child, unfathomable. Bless you.
"saved me from a life of internal thinking" Thank you Nick Cave for turning your pain into love and giving it to the world and receiving it in return. Here is an excerpt from Steps to Knowledge about dealing with pain and suffering. "The body will have physical pain...but that is merely a sensory response. It is not the true pain that hurts you. The pain that hurts you is the crown of thorns of your own ideas and assumptions, your own misgivings and misinformation and your own unforgiveness towards yourself and the world... It is this pain We wish to alleviate this day... There is no remedy for pain if its cause is beyond you... Therefore all pain must be recognized as the result of your own decision... your own interpretation... You must look beyond [the pain in your mind] to its source... This will give you great strength... Without condemnation, the world is so relieved that it can begin to recover itself... for without condemnation upon the world and upon yourself, the mind is at peace already. (Marshall Vian Summers, STK)
I've had so many beautiful experiences listening to Nicks music. It can take you through a wide range of emotions just on one album. "This morning is amazing and so are you"
I've always admired the way Nick articulates thoughts and ideas. It's so outworldly poetic and beautiful. On another note, I've seen several interviews with this interviewer and I must say, for a MSM reporter, I really like the way he conducts interviews with his subjects. They're very empathetic and lack any agenda or narrative. He just hears their stories and let's them talk, rather, than force his points of views onto to them. Unfortunately, most interviews are about the interviewer jibbering their thoughts and ideas, as to make themselves sound "smart."
Nick Cave is such a gifted songwriter and it's so moving how he's trying to help people. Such kindness. Not sure what he meant when he said it was a relief in a way.
His song "O Children" will also rip your heart out, especially in this country of mass school shootings. Nick is willing to go places in his music and lyrics that few musicians dare to tread. Bless him.
This a a great interview. I’ve been a huge fan of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for decades. If you get a chance, definitely read the Red Hand Files. He has so many beautiful, helpful and hopeful replies to and for his fans. ❤
Same here…❤️🩹💔❤️🩹 Especially as someone who’s had, also alot of losses and deep grief/sorrow if not trauma/dark pain even. Especially as an adoptee who sadly just lost my beloved adopted mom not too long ago. The mother, I never had.😰💔😪 I thank you Nick for your openness, bearing of yourself, and authenticity about/regarding your own. Lowest of lows…
Having lost two children in the last decade, I can really identify with Nick's journey. I applaud him for putting his angst out there for people to feel. I had to do that with my first album. ruclips.net/video/pd4_Alut0Iw/видео.html Now that I am down the healing journey road, the next album is more about seeking the qualities of life that remain to be discovered.
So sorry for Nick and I was having a conversation with a fairly well known guitar player the other day at some gig about the danger of this trend about making psychedelic drugs almost trendy? They are neither trendy nor are they safe imo. Nick knows full well himself about the dangers of drugs
He is so talented and an amazing songwriter. That’s why I wish he wasn’t so into all the religion stuff because it works it’s way into all his music and taints it with silliness. Leonard Cohen had the same issue.
Listening comprehension. They are talking about writing the book. The interviewer says “In the book Cave lays bare his grief.” then asks “How difficult was that for you?”. Cave says “It was a relief.”.
Ghosteen …moved the hell out of me when I first played it …I was late to the Nick Cave table but have been in catch up mode the Guy is a true artiste their is nothing half baked about the man …I’m a tough guy but a nice guy Ghosteen when I play can send my eyes streaming with tears when I deal with my own grief and immortality as I age and the pain of a divorce and being a father everything comes into the mix …if you get two albums only Ghosteen and Skeleton Tree great intros to this truly great genius of a man .
Music has been a huge part of my life since I was a child. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, King Crimson, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and many many others. I cannot for the love of God understand how this guy became famous. I'd leave if he was singing in a local coffee shop. His music is unlistenable.
I’ve never heard him before. I immediately thought of David Byrne of ‘The Talking Heads’ fame. He’s sort of a performance artist, they said he was also an actor. In other words, not a musical genius, but a highly successful artist from the looks of it.
@@margo3367 Good music grips you, draws you in, makes you want to come back to it, changes you in that moment, or sometimes permanently, always for the better. Cave’s music has none of those qualities, at least for me. Given how broad my musical taste is, hard not to reach the conclusion it’s garbage. Makes me scratch my head wtf people hear that I don’t. Oh well. I am sorry for his losses, however. No parent should experience the death of their child, let alone two.
I felt the same about Leonard Cohen when I first heard him, as well as Tom Waits. But I kept listening, and as I got older something just clicked. Now, they along with Cave (who I immediately loved when I first heard him) are my favorite singer songwriters. So it's all subjective, I suppose. I'm not a big fan of Dire Straits or Miles Davis, but I wouldn't say they're "unlistenable." I recognize that there's genius there, but for whatever reason it just doesn't resonate with me. Maybe it will someday, who knows? Music is magical like that.
@@Edmond347 That reminds me of a story. A world famous violinist went to a train station and played anonymously as a busker. “Nobody stopped to hear him, though he played so sweet and high”, as Joni Mitchell said in one of her songs (one of my favorite singers/songwriters). In other words I think most people have a tin ear, he’s famous so he must be good. Having said that, I think there’s room for performance artists like David Byrne, like Madonna, like Taylor Swift etc. etc.
@@margo3367 Well said. In the end, to each their own and there is no accounting for taste. I was just flabbergasted that he’s made a name for himself. I put him in the same category as Bjork.
Nick Cave is an amazing singer and song writer
The album Ghosteen helped me get through my husband’s passing last fall. It is haunting.
How are you doing Ma’am?
He's taken on the mantle of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. God bless Nick Cave and his family!
Wow I'll check him out
Rowland was the real deal nicks full of it and pretentious
And Bowie
see him live.......incredible

Nick is an incredible person. One of the most underrated musicians of our age.
I don't think he is underrated at all. he is very well acknowledged and respected in my neck of the woods and way beyond.
@@madamedellaporte4214 He’s never gotten any airplay or much recognition at all in the United States.

Lot of people dont like music in general these day. Real music at least
Your mother
He is not underrated by people who understand art. He is not a pop star and he would not want to be.
I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur when Nick brought his 2 sons into the theater I work at to see a show years ago. I remember entertaining the boys while Nick was being pestered for autographs. It was very sad news of his passing.

He lost 2 sons and barely missed a beat. Just makes good art with it.
@@christiangasior4244 That seems rather dismissive of you to say.
@@christiangasior4244barely missed a beat? Get real.

Saw him in Portland, Oregon summer solstice 2017. By the end of the show the crowd was on the stage. Was a beautiful thing.

His music gives me strength since decades.

it was a relief to write the book about it
I think he meant the grieving was a relief.
Please read the Red Hand Files. Nick is an incredible and compassionate writer.
your mother
His song "O Children" will also rip your heart out, especially in this country of mass school shootings. Nick is willing to go places in his music and lyrics that few musicians dare to tread. Bless him.
Love the energy some very strong and special people are putting back into the universe it’s hope and it all accumulates
Nice way of looking at it. Very true.
This a a great interview. I’ve been a huge fan of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for decades. If you get a chance, definitely read the Red Hand Files. He has so many beautiful, helpful and hopeful replies to and for his fans. ❤
I have never heard of this man, I am interested in hearing more via this segment.
Same here…❤️🩹💔❤️🩹 Especially as someone who’s had, also alot of losses and deep grief/sorrow if not trauma/dark pain even.

He's really amazing. Survived alot of trauma. His music is beautiful
Oh, I'd love to be in your shoes and hearing Nick Cave for the first time.
You are in for a treat.
Nick is a true artist and has so much insight on real humanity.
Nick Cave is the Australian gothic Bob Dylan. A lyrical and songwriting poet/genius.
Genius.
Into My Arms 😊

There is no god, but if is Nick Cave, i love this guy, since the 80ties
needed
Interesting to see CBS Sunday Morning treading into this territory.
Happy 😊 belated birthday 🎂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great expressing thru Music is Oneness and Love
Reminds me of Bowie style or even at times Zappa style of bringing his fine Music
Nick was never a solo artist.
The bright horses have broken free from the fields.
💜🙏🏾
...GHOSTEEN... Wow
❤
I named my guinea pig after Nick Cave. Get it? Nick Cavey.
my got very....
Also sea good LOVE ❤️😘❤️👍

He had a crucifixion of sorts.
He is so talented and an amazing songwriter. That’s why I wish he wasn’t so into all the religion stuff because it works it’s way into all his music and taints it with silliness. Leonard Cohen had the same issue.
For a mourning person he can't seem to stop talking and sit back...
If it was Profound Grief, he wouldn't have made it out.
What does he mean “it was a relief” about his son dying?
🤷🏿♀️
