"Pretentious"? What's it pretending to be? Or are you just using the word as a flash way of saying you just don't like the song?

Like many artist, I'm looking at you Morissey, you either get it/love it or find it tiresome and insipid. I enjoy Cave and abhor Morissey. But it's all dependent on personal taste.

Doesn't work for me.

Strikes me as rather ponderous, and many of his songs have the same kind of, er, flourishes.

It took me a while to "get" Nick Cave, but now I love him. He's very unique.

Two reasons to like Nick Cave as a person
1
My kids went to the same school as Nick Cave and the school does not mention him when discussing their alumni, preferring to drone about sports 'stars' who play some local nonsense that no-one has ever heard about. Anyone who frightens their old school deserves respect

2
He declined to accept an MTV award with an elegant response


RP has been an excellent introduction to his work. Still not sure what of his stuff I hate or love, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!

Speaking of high schools and sports... Wired Science had a great piece this week on how chemistry for kids has basically no chemicals anymore, because everyone is paranoid about injury - but the school sports teams produce orders of magnitude more than the science labs.

This is the least-painful song I've ever heard by Nick Cave, and it's still only a 4. But it's followed by Tom Waits, so all is forgiven.

I agree. Nick can write a most evocative tune. Nick's tune "The Carny" unfolds like a story, albeit a horrifying one.

Now that's just not true, you seem to have had negative comments on things i like enough for me to make me notice your name (also helps that there's the hitchiker's reference in your moniker)

if you call this tuneless you judged after using your mute button

Nick Cave Rules! He is one of the best and most inventive, literate lyricists ever, as well as having the massive excellence of the Bad Seeds behind him.

Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is an amazing album, one of his best (together with the good son, let love in & the boatman's call)

Get your hands on a copy of Cave's "And the Ass Saw the Angel". Nick Cave has an amazing command of the English language and if he wants to rhyme ho with no, I say let him. Dylan once rhymed the word "i-dentify" with itself. I say both are masters of prose.

Does he really rhyme

Hey! Ho!
Oh baby don't you go
Hey! Ho!
Oh no no no

That clumsy rhyme jars with the evocative imagery of the song. Like a poem by Keats interspersed with a sea shanty.

Only more worser

Nick Cave's a poet that sorta sings ... much of a muchness with Leonard Cohen. I reckon you sorta have to take the singing in stride to enjoy the poetry

Funny... typically I really dislike Nick Cave and everyone else seems to rave about him. In this instance, I actually really like this tune, and folks are crapping all over it. Hmmm....

Stretches of this song's writing are physically painful. You know that move where you jerk your head down to one shoulder and scrunch your eyes up? That painful.

Everytime I hate a song and I go to this site to see who it is, it's Nick Cave. Or Richard Thompson.
