Favorite Nick Cave song?

Crow Jane said:Oh man. 😁 😁 😁

😕 wait, so you don't think it's a good song? 😉

Amanda Palmer3 said:So, what are the odds of it actually getting in your mouth? 😛 😂

Slim. 😎

Alexander Diaz8 said:Slowly goes The Night... eh...

Finally, someone actually brought this up. If I were the one putting together an all-time favorites list, she’d be right at the top for me. But since we're picking just one, there's really no debate—it's gotta be Knocking. Though, honestly, I could go on forever with Slowly goes The Night , Carny, Something's gotten hold of my Heart , Mercy , Mercy Seat, City of refuge, Fo, Nobody's Baby now , do you Love me, Tupelo, and a whole bunch of others that I won't even bother listing here...

Or am I wrong?

sundog said:...I'm just sitting here waiting for the know-it-all Amanda Palmer3 and her Nettlica trash to chime in with their "expert" takes on Nick Cave's songwriting. I'm especially waiting for Amanda Palmer3 to send Cave a formal letter of protest demanding he stop photographing him altogether..

$undokane, quit trying to flex those numbers with that passive-aggressive attitude. Based on the old-school standards set by a certain grumpy individual, you don't even fit in with our crowd to begin with.😉

Just keep pushing your ego, like Sisyphus grinding his way up Mount Veneris and beyond, until your font size finally grows large enough to actually qualify for some other montage.😛

And regarding Nettlica—she’s never once acted like a true connoisseur of Cave, not even a little bit. Quite the opposite; she’s spent her time using those sharp little jabs to undermine the very icons that quietdriver and I have been working tirelessly to uphold!

Now, why don't you go ahead and crop out that face of yours—the one looking like a character from a Kusturica film—from all those photos of your failed attempts at greatness...

Or did it?

Nope. 😛

Just a second ago; Something's gotten hold of my gland 😂

Besides, using the same title isn't really his own creative genius, so it doesn't count! 🙂

Wouldn't it be just perfect if the two of you woke up together on a train headed for New Orleans?

Watch out, or the three of us might wake up in some sketchy pink hotel right in the middle of St. Petersburg. The passcode? *Catherine the Great. 😉

Czars: Little pink house 😍

Amanda Palmer3 said:Nah. 😛

just now; Something's gotten hold of my Heart 😂

anyway, that whole "title track" thing isn't even his own creation, so it doesn't even count! 🙂

There, fixed it. Total Freudian slip on my part... guess I stood too still during the national anthem with my hand over my heart and just lost my bearings... 😁

I know he didn't write it, but his performance is hands down the best. Plus, I've always been obsessed with Licking against The bricks (intentional typo there, couldn't help myself... 😁 ) and it sucks that nobody nominated anything from that album.

stormyviper11 said:I know he didn't write it, but his version? Absolutely unbeatable. Plus, I’ve always been obsessed with Licking against The bricks—sorry, I just had to go there... 😁—so it's a real shame nobody stepped up to nominate anything from that record.

Alright then, here you go... by the time I get to Phoenix.

stormyviper11 said:Finally, someone actually brought her up. If I were putting together a list of all-time favorites, she’d be right at the top. But since we're picking just one? It’s definitely Knocking, Joe, or Slowly goes The Night , Carny, Something's gotten hold of my Heart , Mercy , Mercy Seat, City of refuge, Fo, Nobody's Baby now , do you Love me, Tupelo, and plenty of others I won't bother listing here.

Or is it?

I honestly never understood the hype surrounding Tupelo or Carney.😕

Daniel Booth88 said:Alright, fine, if that's what you want... "By the time I Get to Phoenix."

The songs are killer, though. Probably. 😉

Amanda Palmer3 said:watch out that the three of us don't wake up in some sketchy pink hotel right in the middle of St. Petersburg, code word; *Catherine the Great 😉

np - Czars : Little pink house 😍

honestly, I don't really care where I wake up, as long as I'm waking up in my own underwear. I hate it when I realize someone dressed me in someone else's clothes.*

code word; a friend's farewell party

🤣

stormyviper11 said:I know he didn't write it, but honestly, his version is just so much more convincing than anyone else's. Plus, I’ve always had a huge soft spot for Licking against The bricks (yeah, I went there, I couldn't help myself... 😁 ) and it's kind of a bummer that nobody put anything from that album up for nomination.

all tomorrow's parties

vividharbor38 said:I honestly never understood the hype around Tupelo and Carney.😕

I guess they just see it as a way to mess with your head. 😕

quietdriver3 said:all tomorrow's parties

I actually just had this playing as my victory anthem after crushing it in those high-stakes, super intense matchups... you know, the ones against your own brothers. Doesn't matter if it's football or some backyard game. It felt even better knowing they can't stand Cave, though I did end up listening to him once or twice in the meantime...

stormyviper11 said:There, fixed it. Total Freudian slip on my part—I guess I stood there too long during the national anthem with my hand over my heart and just lost my grip on reality for a second... 😁

😬 👍

Just imagine me without any sarcasm; honestly, even Pitney sounds better than me. Probably because of that lush, retro, lo-fi vibe, despite his creepy leprechaun voice. 😱

The password? My buddy's farewell party.

Yeah, it definitely has that anthemic vibe 🙏

although Nico gives me even bigger creeps 😲

klinkovichka said:little 😎

hey, I just caught your quick little reply-post 😁

*Amanda Palmer3 knocks on wood 😉

quietdriver3 said:the same logic applies to pride🙂

Of course you wouldn't get it; we're talking about vanity here, not actual pride. 🙂

i don't know what you just said, but i don't like the way you said it 👎

You clearly just can't handle my Christian alter-ego. 😕

You’re picking a fight with me when Amanda Palmer was practically ready to perform an exorcism on you. 😛

ps

What's going on?

Nothing worth mentioning. 😢

🙂

yuuuck 😁

Ha! Why not? And let the beaver play the crucified martyr while we're at it.

np—and i think it's perfectly clear i'm in the wrong band
