NICK CAVE - LOVE LETTER

[@whites08]

Through the Red Hand Files , I made a request to NC to sing this when he came to Adelaide on his Conversations tour , in memory of my beautiful partner . To my surprise , he did just that , even mentioning her name . I sat there mouthing every word...and the tears just flowed . And they do every time I hear it . Beautiful song

[@taylorbennie-faull184]

My Father used to play this album on repeat. I have a fond memory listening to it as we were driving through the night, dark momentarily disrupted by street lights, no one on the road. I could feel at the time it was a thing of beauty, but didn't know years after his passing it connect me so strongly back to him. Tears flow every time I hear this song, unimaginably gorgeous. I was delighted that he played many more from this album on that tour.

[@writerjames8284]

I'm in floods of tears she came back into my life after 20 years. I saw her for the first time in 20 years and all the love came flooding back . Even if it is only friendship it will be enough.

In my top 3 songs by anyone.....

Did you need to include the word "Cave" in that sentence? It's in my top 10 songs..

[@StarrHK3008]

I think this is arguably the most beautiful and heartwrenching ballad ever written. It so completely encapsulates the feelings of loss and longing unlike anything I've ever heard, in way that makes the longing and loss the subject, not the one doing the longing, or whom they are longing for. A masterpiece of raw emotion.

[@terrenceholmes2450]

very well said.

[@rogerwilliams9853]

very well put. I recall years ago before marrying and having a family, the "one that got away" broke up with me after I said some just stupid things. This song just killed me every time I listened to it. Eventually I had to stop playing this for years. Close to the bone.

[@ottohoulihan2743]

@@rogerwilliams9853 I'm not the only one then

[@PinsleepeLYN]

There's nothing in the whole world as beautiful as this song. Nothing!

[@Korni936]

Love Letter Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds I hold this letter in my hand A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer I hope it does as I have planned Losing her again is more than I can bear I kiss the cold, white envelope I press my lips against her name Two hundred words. we live in hope The sky hangs heavy with rain Love letter love letter Go get her go get her Love letter love letter Go tell her go tell her A wicked wind whips up the hill A handful of hopeful words I love her and I always will The sky is ready to burst Said something I did not mean to say Said something I did not mean to say Said something I did not mean to say It all came out the wrong way Love letter love letter Go get her go get her Love letter love letter Go tell her go tell her Rain your kisses down upon me Rain your kisses down in storms And for all who'll come before me In your slowly fading forms I'm going out of my mind Will leave me standing in The rain with a letter and a prayer Whispered on the wind Come back to me Come back to me Oh baby please come back to me

[@jimdalziel6226]

He, and this song are ageing and appreciating like a bottle of red wine. I hope he is appreciated fully in his lifetime.

[@bernhardsart]

[@el_ation1285]

[@nightonthetiles6923]

Beautiful...always my go to when I remember the love of my life and wife who I lost after 25 yrs together and need a good cry

[@ladyjane8023]

God this is so beautiful...My heart starts to bleed....

[@seelenwinter6662]

over all the years not one bad song... he is the best from the best... no bowie, cash, dylan or any other songwriter will ever be as good as nick... he could sing the phonebook and it would sound beautiful...

[@aimeegaffney624]

Oh yes! Truth

[@conraddean6510]

So beautiful.

[@Tchus76]

Great song... Oh baby please came back to me

[@peternordahl2408]

Just got introduced to Nick Cave this week after an interview in CBC radio. Going over his songs on youtube tonight. He is incredible!!!! Can't get enough...

[@mscrunchy68]

peter nordahl Ditto! What a find. Poignant, surprising, intriguing, funny and dark- there's even a song with Kylie Minogue which places her in a whole new light...

[@nightonthetiles6923]

He's a lyrical genius.. And a great performer

[@saraluvsponies]

Sung beautifully. And Warren's violin.. perfect. ❤🎻

[@aquamoon22]

my heart breaks anew each time I hear this song, and yet I am bewitched and am drawn to it's plaintive sounds again & again

[@scottpierce68]

Really quality stuff from Mr. Cave here. Wow!

[@stefanhamilton8713]

Marty has a supernatural ability to know just where and when to place the bass. A true master.

[@msuarez9662]

La más hermosa pieza jamás creada, luv ya Nick Cave! Te amo ❤️

[@terrenceholmes2450]

ever get the feeling Nick Cave is so good he just did something as magical as this from time to time mocking anyone who thinks he is not brilliant.

[@dcfaithful]

Honestly. A song like this just solidifies his perfection as a poet, a songwriter, and an artist. This is as beautiful as some of the prose Shakespeare and Joyce wrote.

[@nightonthetiles6923]

Beautiful song beautifully performed

[@aimeegaffney624]

A masterpiece . It is The most beautiful ballad I’ve ever heard on love ~and the emotion so pure with such depth. I’d never heard it until this week. It popped up while streaming Nick. A marvel I keep listening to. The man is pure creative poetic genius.

[@rooduck]

I find i need to listen to this at least once a day.

[@angieh12]

Jo, byly to báječné časy, kdy mě při poslechu téhle muziky bolelo u srdce jenom trochu. Některé věci opravdu nevrátím, začíná mi to docházet.

Happy birthday to an incredibly talented man.

[@liliakamenova]

Seems so unreal the perfection of the music and the words :-) I just admire the romantic part of himself to be able to invent all that - it must be huge as mountain :-)

[@_epic_dyslexic_]

I wish I could send this song as a love letter to the one I love but I fucked it all up but got what I intended by pushing him away to make sure he could be happy without me. I used to think the cruelest thing was knowing I only have a short amount of time and that time will be shit because of my medical conditions but now I know it was meeting and loving him only to miss him so. I'm in the hospital as I write this, he will never know but I know he is about to have his first child and my heart is so filled with happines for him it almost takes away the pain of our heartache. Maybe this love letter will find him and he will know why I did what I did.

[@jimdalziel6226]

Magnificent !

[@chazzmccloud36]

This would be my all time favorite love song, if the drummer hadn't picked up that spare violin laying on the studio floor and decided to have a go.

[@Simply_Sadie]

Charles Anderson it did seem a bit intrusive, didn't it

[@patriciofernandez2711]

Haha that's not the drummer, that's Warren Ellis, he's a multi instrumentalist and at the time he was mainly the violinist with the Bad Seeds. I assure you no one could just pick up a violin and get a single listenable note out of it, let alone make it weep beautifully like Warren does here.

[@akleshamorrison9475]

Exactly, he killed the whole feel 🤦‍♂️
