*76k reps* any Nick Cave fans here? If not, GTFIH to hear this heartwrenching record
I thought his previous album "Skeleton Tree" was devastating, but I find this one to be even more excruciating. I've listened to this record around a dozen times now. Absolutely heartbreaking. I listen to it primarily when I paint.
I don't have children, but one of my best buddies that has a couple of kids and is also a Nick Cave fan told me listening to this album is that much more painful when one has kids, because you can really contemplate what it must be like to have them taken away from you in an instant.
A few lyrics that struck me throughout the record:
And a man called Jesus, he promised he would leave us
With a word that would light up the night, oh the night
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
And it isn't any fun, no it isn't any fun
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
Everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
And everybody hanging from a tree
And,
And everyone has a heart and it's calling for something
We're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are
Horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire
The fields are just fields, and there ain't no Lord
And everyone is hidden, and everyone is cruel
And there's no shortage of tyrants, and no shortage of fools
And the little white shape dancing at the end of the hall
Is just a wish that time can't dissolve at all
Those last two lines really got me. I was imagining someone remembering their dead child.
*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

Nobody into melancholia on this dreary, rainy monday?
