This is my favourite Nick Cave song & my favourite line is “ I passed a cow & the cow was brown” fucking brilliant!!! No other songwriter would ever include a line like that & make it fit so seamlessly. Fucking brilliant!!!

Thank god for Nick Cave

One off the greatest songs ever written

"My typewriter returned mute as a tomb and my piano crouched in the corner of my room with all it's teeth bare", that's songwriting people.

The typewriter turned to mute as a tomb.

All of Nick's work is deep and dark, it's been my pleasure being a fan of this music. Right up there with Cohen and Dylan

Blixa, Mick Harvey, *and* Warren Ellis. That period didn't last long, but what stageful of talent!

Just... wow! I hadn't heard this song since probably the year it came out, when my late husband - who was a huge Nick Cave fan, going back to The Birthday Party days - bought it. My husband took his own life the following month, so over the interim years I hadn't listened to Nick Cave, just too painful. But on hearing this again, I'm taken to an all new place of appreciation for Nick and my husband's love of his art. I think I'll be rediscovering this talented musician - it's time... Thank you for posting!

Like a religious experience, you have been saved my son.

Mr. Cave and his partners in crime are one of the very few remaining staples of outlandishly good music This song makes me cry everythime I hear it. The ending (20 pretty girl to carry them in, 20 deep holes to bury them in) gets me every time.

Especially singing that part himself, as opposed to the backing on the album? This was even more beautiful.

Played this while laying in hospital bed thinking I wasn’t to far away from end of my life ( I’m 49 yrs ) , played it more than once , completely fell head over heals in acceptance of the situation I was in. , I could hear the sounds of all instruments come together , i left that place that nite and went to another , I like this place , thank you to all in band , u gave my a moment surrender xxxx

This is one of those songs that makes me sad to think that one day, Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds will stop making such farking unbelieveble music. Cherish it people. Nick Cave is absolutely a national treasure. One of my favourite NC&TBS songs.

Takes me back to the winter of early 2005. A blustery, cold, snowy winter that was. I was in Slovakia and purchased this CD, mainly because I thought "Hallelujah" would be a dark, Rufus Wainwright-like cover of Cohen's classic. Man, how wrong I was, and I've never been so happy to be wrong in my life. I spent the subsequent weeks trudging through the snowy streets, listening to this whole album again and again. I then bought his spoken-word album, "The Secret Life of the Love Song/The Flesh Made Word," featuring many of the songs from this album and "The Boatman's Call," listening through headphones, getting stoned on cheap rum and cigarettes in a Slovak dive bar. I still look back on that as one of my life's greatest pleasures.

He has such a weird way with words. You understand what he's saying but also have no fuckin idea what he's saying lol

it's almost like a companion piece to Leonard Cohen song of the same name..a play on the usage of the word and it's many meanings. I'd be surprised if that wasn't a conscious decision. I love them both !!!

First time I listened to the album and came upon this track I listened to it 6 times in a row. One of my favorites of all time from Cave. I was also happy on that first listen to see it wasn't just another cover of Cohen's Hallelujah. "My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb And my piano crouched in the corner of my room With all its teeth bared" -fucking brilliant line. Ellis' playing is equally brilliant. Thank you for posting this video.

To me, your still the Best and talented musician in my world ❗️❗️🇩🇪 Thanks for so many wonderful years and great music 👍😎👍🍀🥰🍀

It gets right into my soul, because of the violin I get shivers down my spine in combination whith the lyrics. Soooooo beautiful. hmmmm.

I love this song. One of his best, hands down.

Beautiful, no matter how many times I hear it.

here and there but ultimately foreverthere. The king.

One of Nick’s best, just a beautiful song.

This is a unique and beautiful song, It inspires me to believe in everything. It is very moving and emotive, just like so many of Nick Caves songs are.

Bone chilling. And I love it.

Lyrics as visual as any great work of art and the ability to articulate the very best and the very worst of humanity through his great body of work. True genius you are Nick.

God damn this goes deep,

Oh God I feel so much for him right now....Overwhelmingly so... Just oh my. Sad, so so sad. Sending you all love and goodness...xxx

This whole Album in my opinion is one of (if not) their best. I feel sometimes as though i is a little underated (but i admit i wasn't a fan we this came out so its harder to judge). I took me years to really appreciate some of the songs, and consequently my favourites have changed over that time too.

What a great version brilliant Nick as usual

I'd like to see a lot of artists sit down and read their lyrics and give their musings. Great lyrics have multiple meanings, even to the artist.

He's Nick Cave. He's been in a few bands since the 70's. Most notably in Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. If you enjoyed this, check out more of his stuff.

Nick Cave is a GOD!!!!!

Geniale come sempre. Grande nel scegliere ed interpretare. Nick e' primo in assoluto. Meno male che la musica di oggi sia cosi...

Stunned! Never heard this song before, and I thought I was a huge Nick Cave fan. Also thought this would be the cover of Leonard's song, so that was a pleasant surprise when it turned out to be different.

I was thinking this was yet another Cohen cover, thank you Mr Cave & all. You stand on your own 👏👏

I adore this! Dickensian looking violin player is brilliant with amazing hands! Big kisses on everyone's heads. XXXXXX

Yes. Yes we will play this.. He will adore it.. x

such genius songwriting. beautiful song, takes u right there......

Amazing. Not just a song.

RIP Arthur Cave ...

un mostro sacro della musica contemporanea.

absolutely amazing.

I am a huge fan of REM, and you hit the nail on the head...it emotionally feels......as well as sounds, like Michael Stipe's style.

This is actually my favorite Nick Cave song. For sentimental reasons. (Those are the best reasons)... :3

Definitely in my top 5 for Cave.

I Love Nick cave and the Bad Seeds 😍❤

by the way, many people see this song as one of his best. Nick cave is by MY opinion one of the best artist eva! can't think of anyone els btw

We traveled from Ireland to England to see Neubauten in Nottingham, only to be told they had cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. It was a kick in the teeth. So went to Amsterdam in 2010 to see their 30th anniversary show(s) Was worth the wait.

Yeah, one hell of a song.

Я бажаю усім Миру та злагоди із самим Собою.... І тоді починається те саме навкруги!!! Слава , Україні, та Хлопцям , які її Боронять.

[comment from a son that can't be bothered to log out of his dad's account] That interview at the start is incredible, I can't decide if I should have heard it before or after his hits

There is God and there are musicians like Alex Chilton and David Berman and Daniel Johnston who are secular equivalents if not more. Leonard Cohen Paul Simon Bob Dylan. Nick Cave is atop the list.

Equally good, in many ways better than, the overplayed, over-covered Cohen song. I absolutely love this guy.

ce type est génial!
