WOW! {#Clap}I never heard this song before until just last night, when I seen the movie "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" where they happen to be playing this song on the radio, while Harry & Hermione are dancing together in the tent. I heard it and I thought " Now that is a great song & use of the song." I stayed till the end of the credits just to see who performed it & what the name of the song was. It reminds me of the song "Each Small Candle" that was done by Roger Waters {#Clap}
 
Hadn't listened to it in a while till I heard it in the new Harry Potter movie.  Perfect choice for that scene!  I have had it cranked since.  I see it has shot up to number 1 as the most popular Nick Cave song on iTunes since the movie hit the big screen.

I've got to say, there's no in between with Nick Cave. I either love it or hate it, and this is fantastic.

You know what, now that I think about it I realize why I thought it was played on the radio all the time. I used to play this album all the time. My memory is getting bad

First time I've heard this. Would almost fit on the Boatman record. More Nick Cave please!

They have the same effect on me. I really like this song and Let the Bells Ring, however.

Really? ? I dunno. It's a great song, I think, but doesn't seem to have that kind of vibe. More or maybe , I'm thinkin'.


Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds continue to surprise me. Maybe it's time to pick up some of their stuff and give it a real listen.

I actually enjoyed this, nice pick Bill. Not a great song, but not bad, certainly better than the rating indicates.
