Nick Cave

Nick Cave is a musician, songwriter, author, and actor, best known as the frontman of the band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, though is also beloved for his early group, The Birthday Party. Albums from The Boatman's Call (1997) to Skeleton Tree (2016) showcase Cave’s ability to craft emotionally charged and intellectually stimulating compositions filled with hauntingly poetic lyrics. Beyond music, Cave’s authored several books, including Faith, Hope and Carnage (2023), And the Ass Saw the Angel (1989) and Stranger Than Kindness (2021). His collaborations with director John Hillcoat on movies like The Proposition (2005) and Lawless (2012) have received critical acclaim. And he maintains an open and engaging dialogue with his fans through his newsletter, The Red Hand Files.
This podcast was recorded the day after the conclusion of Caves’s duo tour with Radiohead’s bassist, Colin Greenwood, in Los Angeles. A few days after recording this podcast, he used The Red Hand Files to write the following message to his fans:
“After I stepped off stage at the final show, I changed from my grey suit into a blue suit, ate some seafood with Colin, and then headed to the aftershow, where I hung out with some old friends for an hour or so before going back to the hotel with Susie. We stayed up for a few hours and then tried to sleep, but I was hyped up, so I took a sleeping pill at 4 am - which was a dumb idea because I had an interview that morning with Rick Rubin for his podcast. Anyway, when I woke up, I put on a grey suit, jumped into the car with my driver to go to Malibu, did Rick’s podcast (which could turn out quite interesting as I’m not sure the sleeping pill had completely worn off), then started back to L.A. In the car, I began to feel a bit rough, so we parked up at Zuma Beach, where I threw off my clothes and jumped into the sea in an unsuccessful attempt to restore myself; then we carried on to the hotel, where I changed from my grey suit into a blue suit before heading to Book Soup for [a] signing . . . After the signing, I returned to the hotel feeling tired and weird, sat up with Susie for a while, went to bed, woke up about 2 am, threw up in the sink and collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor. Susie found me there and hauled me back onto the bed; my assistant was called to the hotel, some extremely handsome emergency paramedics turned up, a lovely nurse arrived and fixed me to a drip, and later, I spoke to an eighty-nine-year-old saint of a doctor who diagnosed an acute gastro event.”

    When my sister passed to the other side, I remember placing my hand on her coffin and saying to her and myself , I know there is a reason for this and I will not let her passing be in vain. A person, a book , a song always showed up to guide me .

    What a wonderful, raw and moving conversation 🙏 As a fellow Aussie, Nick Cave is one of our all time music legends. He is an elder statesmen and a wise man, dispensing his lived wisdom through music and storytelling. I was touched, shed tears and was inspired … thank you, what a gift.

    2:37 "... I had very good friends that always seemed to know how to behave and there are some people that I think just the monumental nature of the whole thing was just beyond them and they weren't able to sort of respond in some kind of way. But you remember the people who were there. You remember the people who were there initially, and you remember the people who sort of stayed there. That's another thing. There's two different sorts of people, too. Those that rush to the crisis and the ones that stay in a more quiet way and are just always there, you know? [...] You know, our family operates around a common catastrophe that sits at the center of our family, two actually, and this is something that holds us together, that kind of care for eachother is a like a default setting so even if you're going at eachother, you know at the bade that you care and that you dont go at eachother too hard because we each know how fragile the other one is." this is literally the perfect description of how a grieving person observes the people around him. love Nick and his beautiful storytelling, love Rick for being a good listener and asking the best questions, as always

    Finally! Thank you! Yes, very much familiar with much of the details in the chronicle of Cave but the level of conversation in music mastery compliments the both of them from opposite ends of an abyssal conduit in artistry. Loved the POV persepctive on the punk movement.. "...It is a privilege to have my mind changed."

    That whole thing about Australians having to be successful overseas before Australians notice is soooo true. I see it in the art world all the time. It’s so frustrating…. It wasn’t until I was noticed in the UK that people in my home country started to really notice.

    Thanks for this great interivew. I'll be honest, I strongly support the Palestinian cause and I was among those who were deeply disappointed by Mr. Cave''s appearing to shrug off calls for artists to boycott Israel and not to play concerts there a few years back. it really soured me on his music to the point where I felt I could no longer enjoy it because I felt as though I was just hearing the voice of some narcissist who feels getting adulation from fans is more important than any cause no matter how dire, but listening to this interview I feel has changed my view. I don't have any window to know what it was really about for Mr. Cave, but hearing this interview I tend to feel it's not some petty, shallow narcisism, nihilism or lack of genuine caring for the suffering of others but more of a following of his own instinct and artistic intuition and I can respect that. Maybe it sounds a bit silly an naive but I wish that music like that of Nick Cave and the bad seeds which has meant so much to me over the years could touch people in a way that helps bring healing to the world and awakens people to an understanding of their common humanity. One can only hope 🙏

    I have to say I disagree with Nicks definition of virtue. The most virtuous souls are always the ones who fall the furthest but then are purified of their vice by 'it'👆✴... the ones who are 'too clean' are not virtuous, they are just afraid and if they have never truly lived then the demons remain lurking in their hearts...
