Choon Choosday: Nick Cave – Into My Arms
This is, I think, the most beautifully romantic song I have ever heard. In the extremely unlikely event that (a) I ever marry and (b) I have any say in what our first dance would be, I would choose this. Not just because it combines an atheism I share with a respect for a lover’s religion I hope I would also share, but because it is an absolute
Chooooooonn!!
I have to say his voice can make even the most romantic words slightly sinister
that’s true, there is something of the night about him. especially when he is singing murder ballads. but i think this is beautiful
Not sure about his murder ballads, but I love this song. Music means alot to me for I grew up with musicians in the house and I sing(hobby I keep alive). Sometimes the words are just pure poetry alone and when you add the piano its very moving. Got goosebumps from this song, generally means its a great song. Thanks for sharing.
i’m glad this song touched you, he certainly is a brilliant lyricist.
which makes me think… i havent featured any morrisey or billy bragg on Choon Choosday yet. Or Tom Lehrer. i might have to extend this slot beyond just one day!
Nick Cave. Sigh. One of my faves. His lyrics wrap around me. Touch my heart and my hand. Bring a tear to my eye. I wish I could write like that. I do.
his is a rare gift. great voice, wonderful tunes, poetic lyrics. And he’s not too shabby looking either!
You’re right. He’s pretty damn hot.
