First listen to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven (REACTION)

[@AFLOVEable]

What a nice upbeat mass-murder song, a lot of cheerfulness in it. Nick is one hell of a sinister poet of dark humor.

[@georgewodicka4839]

Good to see you back. Really good.

[@daveking9393]

I'll second that!

[@uncommonman]

Next one should be O'Malley's bar from the same album. It's 14 ½ minutes of poetic darkness.

[@jmhaces]

This is probably my favorite track off "Murder Ballads." The lyrics are hilarious.

[@may51973]

Ah! The green-eyed little Loretta Always a pleasure to rehear it

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

Except her eyes ain't green and her hair ain't yellow.

@@GreySphinkter I've even heard people say that if "bad" was a boot that she'd fit it.

[@armlegx]

I've been waiting for someone to react to this song. So glad it was you. This is one of my favorite Nick Cave songs, it really reminds me of some of Warren Zevon's songs - especially Excitable Boy - with its discordant tune and lyrics.

[@vovindequasahi]

It's always funny to realize that most people think Nick Cave is some pop commercial singer.

[@gabrieleflannery6504]

A lovely cacophony of madness. Oddly both foul and fun. Great to catch this fun review, I've missed them and have lots of catching up to do. Thanks so much Daniel🎶

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

It’s great to see you back on your own channel. Is this the ultimate psycho killer song ? Yes as a matter of fact it is. Happy Halloween. Nick Cave is good at this kind of stuff. Another good murder ballad is “Knoxville Girl” the Stanley Brothers did a great version.

[@stellaharris4826]

😨I don't want to visit that town, but an intense, evocative song.

[@Diecastclassicist]

This song is hilarious. I’m glad you heard it.

[@robovike]

"It's more like the other way around." Love this song, kind of surprised in a pleasant way that somebody reacted to it. I don't know whether you have ever heard of the band Lard but you might check out the album The Last Temptation of Reid given that the very opening of this song you are reacting to reminds me quite a bit of that group. The band is Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedy's and Al Jourgensen of Ministry (not sure if you've listened to either on this channel, it's been a while since I've visited).

[@davedamron1876]

My favorite song off the album! Thanks for giving it a listen.

[@matthewgarrison-perkins5377]

This is my favorite Nick Cave song....

[@songshare3489]

Love his version of " Long Black Veil ". Thanks for this!

[@cherylreichardt]

Intensity proper! Love how jovial the music is and how wicked the lyrics are! And I'm in that Halloween spirit thanks to a neighbor's two twelve foot skeletons and even taller ghoul standing behind them:0 Thanks Mr Cave for delivering the macabre early!

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Happy Halloween Cheryl

[@davidheiser2225]

This is a top 10 album for me - every song is worth a listen

[@moenbase1]

One of the better songs of the album. On a couple of live occasions, Nick Cave did his band introducing while doing this song. The song only appeared during the 2000 - 2001. From MB even Lovely Creature was done live a couple of times. Death is Not the End has been done on TV I believe. There's a couple of songs on the album that was never done live. Song of Joy, Crow Jane, Kindness Of Strangers. Also the B-Sides Knoxville Girl, King Kong Kitchee Kitchee Ki-Mi-O and The Ballad Of Robert Moore And Betty Coltrane.

[@iaingardener9268]

Firstly Peaky Blinders is brilliant secondly one of the (many) reasons I love Daniels reactions is that they introduce me to music I haven’t previously heard and this is going straight on my playlist. The only thing is am I a bit twisted that I had a huge grin at the end of the song?

[@thesoundlikechameleons2082]

I am getting my vinyl sleeve of Murder Ballads signed by Katharine Blake (vocalist) on 'Lovely Creature' and Jim Sclavunos (drummer) of the band! 10-12-22. C ☆

[@captainhowdy2782]

Have you seen the 50s flick "The Bad Seed?"

[@Lwize]

Inspiring tale!

[@stellaharris4826]

Been missing these fun sessions.

[@darcysalas3042]

Yes, that was going for Halloween song. Very up beat song. Now I have missed you and your music so much I will be going to the hospital next week to get my pacemaker changed but don't worry I will be OK and they are going to keep me overnight so keep on with your music videos .

Good luck Darcy. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

I was in my late 40's the first time. Thank you so much. Can I add you on my contacts. I always like tto ask first. I guess I am set in my way about that from my mother.

[@darcysalas3042]

@@daveking9393 Do you have Facebook or Twitter?

[@daveking9393]

@@darcysalas3042 so so sorry for the delayed reply. I don't use any social media. A few years ago I did get a Facebook whatever just for the sole purpose to communicate with Daniel. He soon said he did not use Facebook much and gave me one of his 7 emails... I have only used FB for the marketplace feature since or occasionally to see something my wife or daughter posted, but nothing else. Have not had the time/urge to connect with folks... Never tweeted. My corporate exec aunt once told me to go on LinkedIn... I had business connections from 20 years ago pinging me... Never went back a second time... I can do that when my family is completely grown and gone. Now they are the focus... A few more years then I might take a dip into social media tools. I'm also very behind on upgrading laptop etc. Budget tight with both kids in college. So I use my phone for most things and that limits creative and thoughtful correspondence generation. I was able to send out a few things to Daniel I had been meaning to send. Unfortunately after sending it, I saw him do a LP review and one of the LPs I included was considered C level... No big deal just a little awkward after hearing his review... Oh well... I really haven't had much time for YT of late. My daughter announced her wedding plans in August for a November wedding. It has been a wild ride. It is amazing how well everything has come together. All good here for sure but crazy busy until after the big day. I might not be around much but will make time when I can. I hope you're feeling better today. And your check up went well. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. All the best

[@robyourtime]

A lyrical masterpiece.

[@Lightmane]

Ok, so you're continuing. Cool.

[@nava25able]

Sounds a little bit like "Dreigroschenoper" from "Bertold Brecht".

[@reynardine]

Glad to see you back. If you enjoy a good murder ballad I can recommend "Pretty Polly" by Judy Collins from the album "Who Knows Where The Time Goes".

[@Yosef1952]

Amazing opening section. Great lyrics, fun stuff indeed. La la la, la la la, la lie. (Btw, Love seeing you back on DDR.)

[@crust8016]

Highly recommend checking out Henry Lee from the same album, a song he did with PJ Harvey. Definitely watch the music video of it though, probably the definition of chemistry

[@AndrewMalcolmson]

That video is mesmerizing. Also, the Peaky Blinders soundtrack features many songs by PJ Harvey.

[@crust8016]

@@AndrewMalcolmson Peaky Blinders is probably my favorite arranged soundtrack of literally anything. Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, and other punk rock songs that fit the scenes perfectly. The early seasons even featured some of Cave's film score tracks, which was awesome

[@chrissibersky4617]

This song reminds me of that documentary about that super cute very young girl who wanted to kill her family. They had to hide all the kitchen knifes and she almost killed her even younger brother several times.

[@MrJambot]

Very good! I hope you get around to the Henry's Dream album that I consider the bad seeds best!

[@richardchilton7311]

It wasn't based on a true story, but it is a wonderful song. All of the songs on that album are very good ones.

[@marcelmarceau2526]

You should really check out some live stuff from these guys. 👍🏼

[@MiaSarastriz]

Please do O'malley's bar also!

[@markbevan1805]

You should review The Jesus and Mary Chain, any song really but maybe start with “ Happy When it Rains” or “ Some Candy Talking”

[@henrikibsen6258]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, WHERE are the PARENTS

[@Katehowe3010]

I'm going to enquire again my good man. When are you doing the final two Talk Talk songs? Please let me know! 😉

[@HippoOnABicycle]

I would love to hear you react to the song Heaven by Brett Dennan. Would be very interesting to hear your take on Brett's interpretation of what he believes Heaven is :)

[@terryemery4348]

I can never recommend Nick Cave's novel (And the Ass Saw the Angel) enough.

[@penni11]

I hope you see this I have watched you for about a year as I like hearing your thoughts of songs I grew up on I am hoping you will react to a song from the 70's that had meaning to my family as they were Appalachian coal miners It is called "Timothy" by the Buoys and is kinda dark I enjoy your video's and wish you luck in your musical journey
