A few days ago I said how I was reminded that “No more shall we part” by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, is one of the best albums of all time. I thought that it would be fitting to share some songs from that album that really touch me. I first discovered this music thanks to the best man in my wedding, Andy Hackett, he flew up from Mexico to participate in the wedding and he brought this album with him for the journey. He then shared it with me that week before I got married, and I have been intrigued with this man ever since. The guys in my wedding party will recall watching a Nick Cave live DVD the night before the wedding. His voice, at first, is strange to say the least, but his lyrics which bring a transcendent longing, conquer any aesthetic tonal lacking. The song “love letter” is as good as it gets for me, and I remember the first time I heard it, it almost brought me to tears. So I will leave you with some live footage of them playing songs from the album, “No More Shall We Part.”
“Love Letter”
“Oh My Lord”
“God is in the House”
