"You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now."
Nick Cave's words still cut like a knife.

[prestonia]

He's never made music to please the critics or address a market. Pure, unadulterated artistic expression. Breathtaking.

[FuzzCookies]

I think people who say this is boring are TOTALLY missing the point, this is 6 minutes of emotional catharsis. It isn't meant to 'entertain you', it's meant to depict an emotion entirely at the behest of the songwriter. Cave is clearly broken and I think this record will be a challenging listen. The man is a true artist who seeks solace in his own art, whether you enjoy it or not isn't his concern and never has been.

It must take unimaginable strength to remain creative after the death of a child. Nick Cave, I am in awe of your spirit's power.

[ozizovic]

You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of clay and twigs
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

With my voice
I am calling you

You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by a fire, hear the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

This song feels a lil bit like a thunderstorm coming from a far distance, slowly coming closer, getting more and more threatening with every breath that you take, with every second that passes. Beautiful. This is poetry. This is art.

[volvomaniac]

Good God the sound of pure grief captured and it's terrifying and beautiful...

[butimar]

Ouch! When I red Arthur's last words being "Where am I, where am I", many sentences in the lyrics makes sense, a sense that hard to bear. "I'm calling" for example. like a guiding father. All characters he's describing, like seeing him in everything, like possible lives he wished his son could have (even the most miserable ones, rather than him passing away). and "jesus alone" title.... he feels like lousy God that didn't protect his own son and now calls for him. sort of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar, but with a character twist (from dad to son) ouch! maybe it's my dramatic side. but all these came to me, and came too strong. A strength that I wish for my dearest Nick Cave. I love this man so much, and I'm so sorry.

[vintageshoelady]

So hauntingly beautiful. Arthur is present in every word. "With my voice, I am calling you." I too, have lost a son. I have always loved his music, but it speaks to me even more now.

[damienhutchinson]

This is brilliant. He's the poet that exposes the fears and frailty of humanity.

[mwstriker]

A Moon Shaped Pool, Blackstar and now Skeleton Tree this year sad af

[thedivinemrm]

Actually bawling my eyes out. As a fellow Brightonian from Sussex-by-the-Sea, "near the River Adur" stings and brings it all back. You know your adopted town feels your pain and we salute you. X <3

[WingZeroSymphonics]

Wow, the few Nick Cave songs I’ve heard so far have been real trips. Glad to have found such a compelling artist.

[alabamaa]

Sitting alone in the dark this album takes me away thank you Nick Cave

[NicholasNicoli]

What makes this album different is that NC doesn't care about the reception. It is creativity spawned purely by grief, pain and suffering. That's the motivation.

[elmakat]

No words for this masterpiece of RIP Arthur...
Greece loves you mr. Nick and you know it

[imaginaryboy]

I'm shocked...how "beautifull" can a father express the devastating pain of losing his son...Speechless : 6 minutes of pure art

[deepcuts]

Holy shit this is brilliant. Sounds like we're going to get something more brooding and fiery than 'Push The Sky Away'. Love that fuzzy bass synth pervading the whole track

[TheGreatPretender]

One More Time With Feeling has to be one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever watched, and this song here is probably the most essential part of it. His pain is so tangible that it almost feels too private to be watched...but still you're somehow glad to be able to share his feelings. I'm devastated, and I love him more than ever. And the music is excellent, though quite difficult.

[motorman]

One of the great artists of our time. Mesmerising song. Looking forward to the album.
