Born To Rock...

Sep. 22nd, 1957 - Nick Cave is born... told you he would appear again today...

I love the raw quality of his voice, and some of the intensely savage subject matter of his songs...

"Deanna"...

"The Ship Song"...

I Can't Believe...

... it's been over a year since I've had any Nick Cave on my blog (I've been downloading some of his stuff I'd not heard before)!

So I'd decided to treat you to a video tonight, but I thought I'd check when his birthday was, in case it had passed this year, and I'd missed the opportunity to wish him a "Happy Birthday"...

Imagine my surprise (and the coincidence) when I looked him up on Wikipedia... His birthday is tomorrow!

So, you're getting a video tonight - and another one tomorrow!

Tonight's is one I had already - "There She Goes, My Beautiful World"...

The Musical Interlude...

Still on great lyrics, and 2 for you tonight from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds... I know, I'm spoiling you...

First up, Nick at his snarling best - "Red Right Hand"... featuring one of my favourite lyrics..

"You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, designed and directed by his red right hand"...

And I know, I know I've featured this song before, but:

a) It's beautiful
b) I've never featured it as part of the Great Lyrics series
c) It's my blog, I make the rules, so nyah, boo, sucks to you if you don't like it!

It is, of course, "(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?"...

Full Lyrics Here: allthelyrics.com: (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?

My favourite bit:

"O we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die"

Genius... Poetic, and beautiful...
