Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - More News From Nowhere [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@stugel1970]

This song is so different from most of Nick's stuff, most of which is fantastic, but for some reason this song is stuck to me like glue since the first minute of the first time I heard it!

[@theresalemieux6993]

it is mesmerizing.

[@tywa-wm2gi]

This whole album was heavily inspired by Grinderman and Nick's experience making Grinderman 1. You should listen, I think you would love it. Nick said recently we might get a Grinderman 3!

[@iamkayem]

I think it's because it hits closer to home, especially the older you get. Even though it's still heavily metaphorical as usual, his choice of words to describe past lovers & regrets is so so so poignant. I know the lyrics by heart, so compelling they are.

[@iamkayem]

​@@tywa-wm2giinteresting, how so? It seems to describe a man reflecting on his life and past. I listened to (I *think*) Grinderman 1 and it seemed a lot more... Tom Waits-y grungy and less rooted in reality

[@tywa-wm2gi]

​ @iamkayem This song More News From Nowhere, is based in Homer's Odyssey and the myth of Odysseus (Ulysses) but with the historical figures and characters changed. The references are... modernized? It's not about Nick Cave's personal life. But the connective tissue is about a man being " a voyager" or wanderer like Ulysses. Grinderman is, as described by Nick "Improv" it has an improvisational quality to it. I had read an interview where he describes this album, Dig Lazarus, Dig!!! as being very influenced by Grinderman and their first album Grunderman 1. If most of Cave's music with The Seeds is a romantic, introspective man talking about the human condition, Grindrman is a finger-blasting, dick-swinging, misogynistic, pussy-chasing philanderer, drunk pervert. They also explored some really sad shit The Bad Seeds have never touched on like getting old, being in a nursing home/hospital waiting for visiting hours, your dick not getting hard, not getting pussy, the bible not comforting you, being transparent and people walking right through you, losing your beauty, the cruel passage of time, not lasting in bed, being the "Mickey Mouse" to a more evil and sinister force/character you associate with, Howling for your food or money, getting molested by other men, love not being reciprocated, "consensually" raping women, people laughing at you when you enter a room for literally no reason other than you got cucked by your girl cheating right in front of you and everyone you know and all you could do was offer to clothe her while she was angles on another man's knee blowing him, knowing you will never change, "Yeah, I know, I know it since the day that I was born. From the time I went to school. A million things are gonna happen to me in rooms that are much like this." etc. (Those are all songs from Grinderman 1 and 2, literally) You get it. But the interesting thing is that it was all improv, if you look at live shows they are always changing the song's lyrics and tempo and sections. It's always new and different. Some songs go for longer, others are cut short, in some the story/lyrics are changed or expanded on, and so on. Grinderman has a rough energy similar to The Birthday Party/The Boys Next Door. It's raw and full of nightmares, whilst being more sonically adventurous. How so? Hear Grinderman 1 and 2. If you love Nick Cave, The Bad Seeds and The Dirty Three you'll love Grinderman And read Homer while you're at it. "It takes me back to the ancient world, it takes me back to these invisible college of beings of apparent higher intent. It takes me to the geniuses and the muses. The first document in western civilization. Homer's epics, they begin by invoking an alien. They invoke a muse: ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη. 'Tell me o muse about the men.' So Homer isn't inventing poetry, He's channeling poetry, epic poetry from an alien intelligence Maybe that intelligence has felt a little unrecognized in recent years." "Miro al cielo. Miro al cielo hasta que quedo ciego!"

[@chrisswiger6498]

I love this song. I wasn't aware Nick Cave owned a t-shirt.

[@susanlukachko3926]

Nick cave laz

[@anthonybruni1967]

I am getting pulp fiction flashbacks where Vince and Jules had to wear t-shirts after they shot poor Marvin in the car. I imagine something similar happened to Nick before the shoot.

[@ailijase8]

😂😂🤣😂🤣

[@traviscareylutes]

Please see the Stagger Lee vid

[@katsconcertvids]

I know this comment is YEARS old but it made me LOL

[@RichardGonzales-vl8eg]

The song that plays inside My head every time I get a letter from prison .

[@noogie1]

This song was in my dream. I'm 37, if I die, I'll die happy knowing that this song exists. Love all, be nice, and more melletron

[@Sheriff_GrimLaw]

How did you get on with that death trip, homes? 💚

[@666slink]

What a great video for a great song. Dig Lazarus Dig is my favorite Nick Cave album.

[@itsallgoodman4108]

yes brother

[@Andrew-q9e6d]

It came out of nowhere...

[@elinaolifer]

Okay, those dance moves at 6:17 had me choking on my whiskey.

[@DT-bi6mi]

He is evoking the spirit of Ian Curtis...

[@ronnyerdmann7253]

Such a cool vibe and a lyrical masterpiece that has deeply infected me !❤

[@jtorres133]

Man I heard this song in Richmond at a restaurant called The Riverside Tavern grabbing dinner and a beer and fell in Love w it IMMEDIATELY. Now I’ve realized why I’ve come into existence on this planet at this time, to hear this song. My life is now complete. 😊 ✌️

[@mirzaghalib8659]

just fantastic all around.

[@ormola]

The skinny guy at the bar with a newspaper is top author Will Self. Why is he in a Nick Cave video? Because he knows talent when he hears it. Nobody comes CLOSE to Nick Cave. "Her hair was like the wine dark sea on which sailors come home". If that ain't poetry, I'm Ringo.

[@troubadourheart]

anybody else have flashes to gonzo journalism? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with a Bad Seed groove.

[@KarmaNinja69]

Never apologize for the Cave man. He is excellence in every sense. Whoever doesn't like Nick is my sworn enemy. More news from a poet...

[@melissadenby2357]

Yay, we can be friends! Though I am reading this a bit late.. It is nice to know someone is not my enemy.

[@dr.paroczipeter838]

Hail to the Army

[@Ratmus1]

I love those dance moves, yo

[@Ratmus1]

7 years later and I still love them!

[@Shoateel]

nick cave great artist, this song is a great song and masterfully retold odyessy no doubt.

[@adaoribeirofonseca4419]

😍🤩🎶💥🎶💥 monstro NICK CAVE

[@adaoribeirofonseca4419]

Sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 show

[@mjosemartinez1011]

Siempre❤

[@godzillaohno]

i can't even begin to wrap my head around this response.

[@dijanadjelosevic1721]

will self reading newspaper! love it

[@munzeez21]

"He asked me for my autograph, I write 'Nobody' and then, I wrap myself in my wooly coat and I blind him with my pen" I heard that specific verse, and had to listen to the song again... "Hey, it's The Odyssey!"

[@pandaenthusiast01]

nick cave is my spirit animal

[@BrandXSports]

I heard thi song on the radio yesterday....I knew I had to see the video

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Bet that Nick and the band had a ton of fun making these videos, you can tell that Nick is clearly having a freaking blast. Also, is it me, or does he look kind of like the late race car driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. with that ‘stache of his?

[@tuba178]

Epitaph used to be an excellent label. Bad Religion, Rancid, etc. Cave is actually on the -Anti label, which is actually owned by Epitaph. -Anti is actually home to Greg Graffin, Tom Waits, and Nick Cave. I'm a huge Nick Cave fan, and glad this got on the Epitaph channel.

[@joeln901]

Dear Nick Cave, if I ever get enough money, could you play a special show for me? Been a fan, since the B.P. days. Bless you!

[@godzillaohno]

speaking as someone who both works at hot topic, and identifies nick cave and the bad seeds are my favorite band, all i can say is that people tend to shy away from nick cave the way they would with tom waits or leonard cohen. he has an unusual voice, which not everyone enjoys. their music is heavier in content and often in sound than other music, and most people just aren't used to music like this. regardless, at least appreciate his awesome mustache.

[@grahamfuray2106]

Shut the fuck up

[@acarloto]

Música hlpnótica e dançarinas de varão cheias de talento. Eu frequentaria este estabelecimento.

[@frogeye3000]

great track. period.

[@aleposada10]

The Odyssey. Genius.

[@jwe1768]

I didnt expect to like this but i can say its not bad growing on me as it goes on

[@kurtrees7013]

I like it, very cool

[@dazzlinggems]

i just want to drum to this song forever

[@freewheelinQ]

I've heard that Dylan guy is kinda good too!!! xP

[@sasha_on_drums]

More news from Norway.

[@eins2001]

Damnit, I can't unhear it

[@WeCareAlot4693]

1:36 Is that slippin Jimmy behind Nick Cave

[@teddybeitler]

i like nick cave, i don't love him, but this song is really badass. i don't care who you are

[@nbrigdan]

amazing song as always, thx nick

[@CongeeCatt]

I agree with you 100% ps. nicely said.

[@SuperDelamancha]

nick cave and paul weller are not rock stars......they are music legends

[@topcover2000]

@shalomamigos "The wine-dark sea on which the sailors were borne home" occurs earlier in the song. Classic Homer. (not simpson)

[@godzillaohno]

although, upon review of your youtube history, it's comforting to know that even though it appears you misconstrued my comment, you have good taste in music. i live in a strange area where i might be the only person who knows who nick cave and the bad seeds are.

[@johncooper5991]

Fantastic Cooperman corringham

[@richardgonzales4815]

Everytime I get a letter from prison: This song plays in My head.

[@theresalemieux6993]

I watch this video Everyday about five times. Huge Nick Cave fan not a super fan he just inspires me awful lot with his education body language everything. Anyway I don't like men with facial hair. So I wouldn't watch any of the grinder Man videos. But I did watch Rak sessions.. I started with kitchenette of course which is hilarious yet sad because we all know who it's about. And then for some reason epic performance kept popping up on my screen and I trust my my phone and Nick caves influence on me. So I watched Mickey mouse on the goodbye man. And I became totally hooked on that video I still am you just know when Nick says all right that you're ready to rock. So now I can accept the mustache I can't stand facial hair but it's their choice my son's grow beards and it bothers me but they're my sons. So once again thank you Nick Cave Warren Ellis Dan and the other guitar player who I still haven't found out the name of but I'm going to do that right now because I feel I'm being disrespectful not knowing his name. God bless Texas and grinderman and Nick Cave in the bad seeds.

[@alexfloyd8969]

I'm here because of an interview of Awolnation -thanks.

[@SidewaysSurfDrinksHQ]

God this band is simply cool as fuck

[@theresalemieux6993]

I think I think Nick Cave owns a lot of shirts especially suit shirts

[@midjipress]

The people complaining about this not being Epitaph-like probably haven't heard anything Hot Topic hasn't sold them. Most of the bands on Epitaph would list Nick Cave as either a major influence or an example of excellent music. Sorry that this doesn't fit into your store bought and sold punk rock.

[@amitgeambashu2592]

They shoud write a letter hehe

[@YourFaceWillDie468]

Okay, so if this is a summary of the Odyssey, I'm guessing Nick Cave is Odysseus and the hundred-foot-tall one-eyed guy is a Cyclops, which characters do Janet, Betty X, Betty Y, Miss Polly, the black girl, Elena, and Deanna represent?

[@aderi31415]

This response is coming really late but I can identify a few of them. Miss Polly is a siren. The black girl is Calypso. Betty Y is probably Polymele, daughter of Aeolus.Circe is the one who put something in everyone else's drink. I'd guess that Elena represents the Lotus Eaters. Deanna is is probably self-referential to their song from the 80s named "Deanna". Janet and Betty X? I dunno. Nymphs maybe?

[@wendywinters4734]

The Seven Sisters star-cluster, oh no I can’t remember, ah! The Pleiades. Seen it in the skies many times when I was young. No, it’s not the Little Dipper, the Little Dipper is much much bigger.

[@Ivanselectsongs]

wow I never knew there was a video for this LOL

[@2405efrapix]

@sprechendeutsch yeah reminds me the epileptic dances of Ian Curtis ajajaja

[@brianlewis4941]

I'm going to Nowhere soon

[@Gavin-n2e]

Birthday Party, st'kildas all right,i love nick cave, i blam him for my heroin Habit, still here 64 this year

[@samrulz7]

3:47 caroline catz?

[@markcollins1843]

Yes it is! She's awesome!

[@deedeeweit9862]

ME TOO!

[@danielaxc2900]

Were they signed with Epitaph at some point? That would be surprising considering what kind of bands they typically promote.

[@davmet09]

@mrfudgeyhead beyond all that, this video is pure reality. Anyone who sticks with it long enough will eventually find out what this is about. This isn't music for kids.

[@shalomamigos]

Is the Odyssey referred to the entire song, or just at 2:25? Are there other things I'm missing? (and yes I noticed the chicks).

[@dmg7111]

FUCK da Haters !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A.. NICK RULES!!!! B. I manage a 'gentleman's club here in Townsville Qld...( Santa Fe Gold) & this is one of my regular close tunes... 'Fans' nod at me, Newbies ask Who this is cause They Luv It !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Case Closed ~

[@brianlewis4941]

I wish my cheeks were full of psychotropic leaves.

[@leperabbot3343]

+Brian Lewis the story references people who used to combine wine and rotted barley for those needs , persephone awaits!

[@SalParadiseish]

which one is persephone? oh fuck yes it's her because she went to Hades. persephone got hooked on heroin and had to escape to rehab and when she left him Hades overdosed and died

[@EuchridEucrow1]

Holy shit, I just saw took a look at the bands on Epitaph. Heavy metal + emo. Don't worry about the negative comments, folks. These morons would give Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Nina Simone bad reviews.

[@celiaayneto9232]

St Kilda Beach ;);)

[@440hz7]

Who's in the joint, do you know them? I do🍸

[@theresalemieux6993]

......I just heard the part about Deanna....I was only listening to the song.

[@hveird]

Here comes Elena😂❤

[@mattyr55]

read the description everybody

[@theresalemieux6993]

attention all peaky Blinder fans there is a website called Tom Hardy's personal page. it's someone from Nigeria do not go there I did and I regret it and I'm not 90 or stupid I was just trying to obtain an autographed picture for a loved one who's sick at this time. that's all beware

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

I've seen another version for this song where it has Jarvis Cocker and Jason Donovan dancing in a pub. sounds bizzare I know.

[@jamesowen5702]

Brian Smith Would it earn me internet pedant of the year award if I pointed out that it's the the video for Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow you're thinking of there? Both great songs.

[@BrianSmith-vl7xu]

James Owen Thanks James!! You get loads of merit points for that. :)

[@noogie1]

Sadly, my home doesn't exist anymore. I have a brick, but doesn't represent much. If I have children, they'll never see where I grew up, to me that's a big thing, but to each there own.

[@neilchair]

@midjipress Ah, fuck 'em. I know that Epitaph has Nick Cave and Frank Turner and Weakerthans and guys like that and as far as the ones who really love Escape the Fate... that's cool if you do, but I really don't think we have much to talk about.

[@JeromieSilke]

it's funny that he's wearing a St Kilda beach t-shirt, lol, it is a great beach in melb though, it'd be funnier if he had a Frankston beach t-shirt

[@Antipodean33]

wtf whose removing comments that stood for ages?

[@theresalemieux6993]

any man can own a t-shirt but no one can wear it like Nick Cave!! or Ville Valo

My mancrush was Johnny Depp till Nick Cave came into my life.
