Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call

Entire album sounds like a suicide letter. Beautiful beyond
words. I love every note of it. It ranks right up there
with some of my favorit Prince albums. Absolutely Brilliant.
...
But out of all those Nick Cave just takes the prize for
being the most depressed. The songs are all very beautiful
but they are sooo way down dark it's unbelievable. Just
listen to 'darker with the day' on And We Shall Never Part
or "People Just Ain't No Good" on The Boatman's Call.

The closing finale of "Hallelujah" with the repeat chorus
of "the tears are welling in my eyes again, I need 20 big
buckets to catch them in, 20 pretty girls to carry them
down, 20 deep holes to burry them in" is so cool that I
can't find words to describe it. You just have to hear the
song, the hopeless agony of it, the anger and the madness
and hear it all ultimately lead to these final lines being
repeated over and over again. If I could write music I
would hope to be able to write something like this. 20Stars!


I'm ranting, aren't I. Sorry for that!

Anyway, I hope you feel better soon!!!
