Through the Red Hand Files , I made a request to NC to sing this when he came to Adelaide on his Conversations tour , in memory of my beautiful partner . To my surprise , he did just that , even mentioning her name . I sat there mouthing every word...and the tears just flowed . And they do every time I hear it . Beautiful song
I'm in floods of tears she came back into my life after 20 years. I saw her for the first time in 20 years and all the love came flooding back . Even if it is only friendship it will be enough.
I think this is arguably the most beautiful and heartwrenching ballad ever written. It so completely encapsulates the feelings of loss and longing unlike anything I've ever heard, in way that makes the longing and loss the subject, not the one doing the longing, or whom they are longing for. A masterpiece of raw emotion.
Just got introduced to Nick Cave this week after an interview in CBC radio. Going over his songs on youtube tonight. He is incredible!!!! Can't get enough...
over all the years not one bad song... he is the best from the best... no bowie, cash, dylan or any other songwriter will ever be as good as nick... he could sing the phonebook and it would sound beautiful...
A masterpiece . It is The most beautiful ballad I’ve ever heard on love ~and the emotion so pure with such depth. I’d never heard it until this week. It popped up while streaming Nick. A marvel I keep listening to. The man is pure creative poetic genius.

There's nothing in the whole world as beautiful as this song.
In my top 3 Cave songs. He's unmatched. Just kills me so beautifully.

He, and this song are ageing and appreciating like a bottle of red wine.

Great song...
Nick Cave, you are phenomenal
Marty has a supernatural ability to know just where and when to place the bass. A true master.
Damn....we have all been there
Sung beautifully. And Warren's violin.. perfect. ❤🎻
my heart breaks anew each time I hear this song,
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!!!!
ever get the feeling Nick Cave is so good he just did something as magical as this from time to time mocking anyone who thinks he is not brilliant.
