I've been listening to this song over and over and Anita's voice recording brings me to tears every time. It sounds like just pure joy and love and I love her laughter.

[Androo.B]

So sad to hear Anita, but also a joy to listen to the happiness of her memories.

It's just amazing how Cave menages to make yet another fascinating record, that doesn't sound similar to anything he released in his 45 years of career. Well Done

Lyrics:
"She rises in advance of her panties
I can confirm that God actually exists
She turns and smiles but never ever scantily
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she is!

Well, the horses, they have kicked down the stable
And the rabbits have put carrots in their ears
And her coloured crayons dance upon the table
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she feels!

The country doctor whistles across the meadow
And the schoolboy, he hops up and says "Gee whiz!"
The dogs, they are all barking at their shadows
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she is!

O wow! O wow! Well, nothing could compare
Her friends, now dead, their spectral chins all nod
And they braid a band of violets through her hair
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she was
How wonderful she is!

Anita Lane:
Do you remember we used to really, really have fun?
We'd be just by ourselves, mucking around, really relaxed, not under pressure
I guess that's how we make up songs!
I... I remember we were in bed, and then we imagined somebody upstairs
I don't even know if we heard footsteps, or imagined footsteps and then imagined the story
That was in that little place opposite Brixton Prison
I didn't even realise that everyone wasn't like that
We tried to write a contract of love
But we only got as far as doing the border
There was never any words in it
Which I thought said a lot more than anything else."

Beautiful song with a message....I love music and where the sounds take the world's...Something incredibly strong. Like a wow love ❤❤❤❤❤

[EmilyHumphries-lt]

I loved her and I love it. Huge shock to hear her voice... she was impossible to define, its what made her special. She would have liked this. I imagine a lot of the lyrics Nick sings would have been phrases she sent him?

[joe]

A beautiful tribute. Makes me teary-eyed.

[davewilson]

You can feel the love in his words and visualise it in Anita's words. A spectacular song.

[АлександрСтафиевских-сд]

[slumdogjay]

Beautiful tribute to Anita Lane. Made me well up. 😢

[robertabragatto]

Thanks Nick ❤ God bless you and Anita and all your love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[maxarvo]

better opening line than 'i don't believe in an interventionist god'

[frenchplatitudes]

really hearing the vibe of “the new isnt so you anymore” by lambchop on this one. Makes me want a real crossover

[IngIvanNeri]

Amazing. The voice on off, recounting events, as in the LO-FI genre.

[eelponna]

I’m getting strong Talk Talk Spirit of Eden/Laughing Stock vibes from the musicianship here.

[jakecollins]

Honestly, I love this. Her voice at the end cripples me every time I hear it. A stunning song.

[leafclover]

My new favourite song. I have an earwig residing for the first time in years, but I don’t mind ❤
