It'd be amazing for someone like Werner Herzog to interview Cave about the artistic process.

Seems to me they have a good chemistry. This is one of the best interviews I have seen on de interweb.

I agree about the chemistry, and he definitely isn't bad, although you can feel that he's intimidated by Nick Cave's presence, and that he's also insecure about the way he speaks. He feels he can't express himself the way he wants to and that blocks him, so it blocks the whole conversation in a way. What often pisses me off when I watch interviews ( and that's something that happens too often), is when there's an opportunity to go deeper, but the interviewer just goes on with the next question as if he hasn't heard anything. It feels like a loss. In this case, I also think we could've learned much more.

@@lea-ym9be yerh I hear ya. I actually just watched a great interview with Cohen during his retreat in mount baldy. Highly recommended

I like how he mentioned Thom Yorke - I think they might find they have a lot in common. I love to think what would happen if The Bad Seeds and Radiohead collaborated on something...

Me too, like all the time - their voices sound like total opposites to me, but the atmosphere, poetic quality and experimantation in their music are on quite the same level… I’d love to hear their collaboration… It’s kind of funny, 13 years after your comment nothing like this happened but the present me still has a hope 😁

There is no book. You can find the lecture on a CD or online as a written word. The CD has him reading with love songs in between. It's called "The Secret Life of the Love Song and The Flesh Made Word: Two Lectures by Nick Cave".

This is a really excellent interview. Well done to the interviewer. Nick's often taciturn and closed. This journalist gets a lot out of him.

frankly I think the interviewer is very clumsy, it really gets on my nerves how he fumbles and fumbles looking for questions

So humble. And he mentions Thom Yorke. Pretty cool.

Brilliant interview. Cave suits sobriety. Really inspiring, thanks uploader. And my vote in the good interviewer/bad interviewer debate going on here is Hit. I think he's a good interviewer.

he is very good, one of Sweden's best interviewers. He speaks english very poorly though... Sometimes, like here, it is almost painful to listen to: two minutes of murmur and Nick Cave who is staring quite frighteningly at him. I laughed that whole time.

Appreciate the man.

It was released on a CD, "The Secret Life of a Love Song"...

"Wanna do a round up one?" hahaha he's such a cutie. ^^

per sinding- larsen is now working as an english teacher here in sweden. hurrah!

1 person is a GOOD seed

Enjoyed this but towards the end he should have had questions ready... It was painful waiting for the questions to come (for viewer & Nick Cave, clearly)...He was lucky to get the interview, he shouldn't leave him waiting for a question!

nick said: all you can do is fail.

Does anyone have audio of Nick's lecture? The written form is online, but I can't find a recording, and a friend of mine years ago claimed to have it on cd. It must be out there somewhere.

creo que esta entrevista fue en 2003 porque la proxima musica de Nick Cave fue "Abbatoir Blues y Lyre de Orpheus" en 2004. Lo siento, no hablo español muy bien.

Per sinding larsen doing a great job!

sweetdeanna: creo que esta entrevista fue en 2003 porque la proxima musica de Nick Cave fue "Abbatoir Blues y Lyre de Orpheus" en 2004. She wants to know when this interview was filmed. Does anybody know for sure?

@houseolight Not all of us are boring, but the interviewer is, at least here. I've seen him interview Swedish musicians, and he usually does fine. I think the combination of being in the intimidating presence of Nick Cave and also attempting to keep up with him in a language he's not very good at is what makes him so bad in this interview. And yeah, Nocturama is his worst album, but I still think it has some great songs.

Actually, you're probably right... maybe Bends-era Radiohead though...

What kind of accent does the interviewer have?

God, the interviewer doesn't seem to have his shit together in the end

I sort of stopped listening to him after the BP It seems hes read Norman O Brown, or is on similar insights. I'm definitely going to get back in touch with his schtick

I think it's a good interview actually, he's just feeding into him because what he's saying is so interesting anyway. As fort the cameraman moving, why the hell he does that I don't know. Your engaged and then he goes and moves around the damn room.

I think he's tired and wants to get back to important matters outside of the interview.

As soon as nobody interviews you anymore as an artist, you're in deep trouble. That's how unimportant interviews are.

@casablancalithium Swedish!

@Isdelth LOL

Gee Nick is bored... so what are we?

i don't think this interviewer is very good, he doesnt connect well with what nick cave says. Does not react to what he says or get cave involved or interested in the interview. I think he really needs to try and connect more with his subject to actually get more out of them

swedes are boring. even a swedish interviewer can make nick cave seem boring. But the guy worked in an office. Didnt help his Nocturama album. His worst ever.

i really appreciated this interview, it's got a good natural charm, I've read some from the lecture previuosly on line, however this mentions a book written by nick cave, but i cant hear which one it is, the one where he says he talked about his father, ect..says go and buy the thing! but i dont catch what the thing is?
