Ive been sitting around my house for the past two days listening to one song over and over again, "Into My Arms" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Was featured on one of the bands most critically acclaimed albums "The Boatman's Call".
"The album's tone is sombre and minimalist. Stylistically and lyrically it marks a major departure for Cave, away from full-band arrangements and character-based narratives towards the more intimate sound of Cave's solo voice accompanied by piano or a few other instruments. The tempo is also generally slow. Many of the lyrics seem to reflect on Cave's personal relationships and spiritual yearnings."
Im not sure if many of you will like this, but i appreciate it so im posting it regardless. The Birthday party was one of the darker more dramatic and raw post punk bands to come out of the 80's. Nick Cave managed to paint disturbing hellish pictures with the lyrics he spit out for Birthday party, and honestly the first time i heard them i didnt get it, i thought it was a bunch of unguided noise paired with annoying gasps and shrieks. But somehow it grew on me, and now i just see Cave's dark passion in all the chaos. Let me know if you appreciate them as well. My favorite songs are Sonny's Burning, as well as Release the Bats.
