Favorite Nick Cave song?

The first one I ever heard was Knockin' on Joe.
She turned me into a total fan back in the day, like twenty years ago...
And honestly, she made me realize that just because a track is good doesn't mean it's recent. Not all the best stuff was written yesterday.

there really is nothing quite like that sweet sense of liberation🙂

Hmm... ummm....

Into my arms.

From her to eternity?

Would I rather just chop off my right hand instead?

It’s hard to pick an absolute favorite, but lately, I suppose I’ve been gravitating toward these two more than anything else:

Breathless ; Baby, You Turn Me On

"Straight to You"

'The weeping song'

Into my arms
because of the memories of a certain love🙂

"The Mercy Seat," maybe "Wild World," or even "The Hammer Song." Then there's "Junkyard," "Zoo-Music Girl," or those angry tracks... even "Happy Birthday." Honestly, it's impossible to pick a single favorite from an artist who recorded such a massive, diverse body of work. 🙄

It’s definitely Into my arms 😳

There are two

1. Your Funeral my trial

2. watching Alica

Neither of them played a single note at the concert in Washington, D.C. 😠

Solid selection. 🙂

Mmmm... watching Alica... Pure beauty.

Yeah... I’m a fan of his softer stuff—the tracks with actual melody. When he really starts going hard, though, it's incredible; just pure emotion.

Sometimes I'm feeling things like "The Mercy Seat," but I still give 👍 for the romantic vibes.

PS: I definitely prefer his older material.

Err... can we do a top 10?

How about something like this:

1 Knockin' on Joe
2 Loom of the Land
3 The Mercy Seat
4 1. Your Funeral my trial 2. watching Alica i
5 Do You Love Me (Part 2)
6 Tupelo
7 Stagger Lee
8 Ship Song
9 Kindness of Strangers
10 Far From Me

Idiot prayer

The Mercy Seat (honestly, this Johnny Cash cover is hitting way too hard)

nobody's Baby now.

I couldn't agree more.

I absolutely love the way Blixov handles effects on a track...

The only Nick Cave track I'm familiar with is that duet with Kylie, "Where The Wild Roses Grow," and it is absolutely fantastic!!!

And honestly, that's a pretty great start—😁 one step at a time... 😉

👋

ZOO music, man!
ZOO music, seriously!

Just dug up an old cassette tape. Score!

So... anyone here actually love or hate The Birthday Party?
Asking because that specific era of his is... well, pretty much totally overlooked...
