[News] Nick Cave

[Insel affe]

Its strange as a few on here have now associated this song with their wedding which is understandable given the lyrics.

But I've always regarded it as more of a funeral song and as one I would have played at my funeral.

I didn't realise until a couple of days ago that Cave performed it at Michael Hutchence's funeral so my interpretation wasn't that off kilter after all.

I suppose it works equally well in either context depending on how it's interpreted.

Funeral and marriage are pretty similar in outcome, your freedom is over.

I thought him and his wife went elsewhere (Oz) but came back to Btn.

They went to LA - however they didnnt like it . I believe he still resides in Brighton - cooler than Fat Boy

Don't blame him, LA is a dump compared to Brighton.
