Nick Cave Interview (Pt. 2 of 4: The Creative Process)

[@EmptyQue]

I love hearing artists talk about their process. So often interviews just ask about the person's girlfriends or kids or other personal shit.

[@joshuatrees797]

I find all of it quite intriguing.

[@freddiewadling2090]

yes she is on of the better Swedish music interviewers - perhaps one of the best music interviewers, period.

[@bindestreck]

I was certain that the bookshelf was a window until 6:15

[@nikkisuddenlydidit1510]

Me too

[@toddmusic]

This is a good lyric.

[@hayalaln2302]

So was I

[@stispade]

11 years later and you've blown my mind

[@freddiewadling2090]

@@toddmusic lol yes it sounds like a lyrics from one of his later records, actually!

[@lisamanic4822]

I love the fact that he looks and behaves like a literature professor. He has that teacher flare about him without actually being one. Maybe it is the influence of his dear dad.

[@catsheehan4258]

I was just about to say the samething even his dad said Nick is very much like him 👏🏻👏🏻

[@stardust1007]

he's just a very authentic person, it may be the reason for his creative work - being who you really are and listenig to your inner voice

[@EmptyQue]

He just sounds like a typical artistic person to me. Creating is hard work.

[@janovesakkestad7097]

Interesting to know what types of methods people use to build material. Nice to know

[@77AWAKE77]

The dead periods bring life to the next stage, he is wonderful Camera man, silly wide shot nearly going out the door

[@SableMelody]

So this what whichever interviewer meant when he said that Nick is "terrifying but always polite." :)

[@itkojecockot]

there's nothing terrifying about him...... the problem is, that most people are accustomed to live in "velvet lies" and pretentiousness, just so they don't get their feelings hurt...... they always seek this social comforting approach to human interaction....... that's why someone with "no-bullshit personality" like Nick Cave seem to those people like someone who's socially quite hard to digest

[@diane869]

Yes, I am amazed after this many years at what an Authentic person he is. He is down to earth and wonderful actually. Just wondering what happened to Mick Harvey with the orchestration? Been awhile, so not knowing...

[@gomerhanger2285]

can you image Nick Cave being in a room with Prince?

[@Zatzzo]

nice interviewer!

[@phildog2000]

@wid85 that's exactly what i see in this interview. You wrote exactly what was in my head :)

[@MorlaTheNothing]

When he talks about starting all over again it seems to me that he might be re-discovering his identity without allowing any kind of outside influence. Also, through all his creative efforts that he's known for and probably not known for, I think he is on a sort of quest to protect his identity from becoming corroded by the lies of life. I really appreciate that he tries to remain unspoiled in his identity. I hope he finds the grace he desires.

[@Camilla902]

Nick Cave wouldn´t be the first artist/creative person who has a "voice" telling him he´s no good. That´s quite common among "those" people actually.

[@christineharrelson4831]

You think it would go away after a while, but so far, nope.

[@Jnth007]

i'd say 2005 cause he didn't have an office till about 2000 and he said in the first part taht he only had it for about tha last 5 years...

[@trollfinger]

Maybe he's more relaxed in his own surroundings. which would make for a better interview i guess.

[@wsewell12]

With respect, what Nick Cave feels may not be anywhere near the same as John Galantini feels. John Galantini is just projecting whatever is going on with himself.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

That's true. The more talented and intelligent you are, the more you think you suck and the more stupid you consider yourself to be. Stupid people on the other hand rarely lack confidence.

[@roundchaos]

That's the kind of thing stupid people say.

[@anders671]

Dunning Krueger effect or impostor syndrome

[@Abrahamhamham]

@@roundchaos Actually, they don't. Imagine a stupid person creating and constantly judging their own skills and outcome. It doesn't really make sense, does it? That's because stupid people don't know they're stupid, because if they did, that light bulb would shine brighter and brighter everyday, making them question things and evolve. Creative, intelligent people are their own worst critic, otherwise they wouldn't strive to constantly be better than yesterday.

[@NEONGREENWALL]

nice words.

[@ErikVilde]

Vem intervjuar? Per Sinding Larsen?

[@kristofferrasmussen8970]

Erik Vilde ja 😊

[@wsewell12]

well said

[@hughdillon6166]

Fireboys been purging... 7 inch please

[@iggypopisgod9]

Have to disagree: starting something is relatively easy. Finishing something is difficult

[@xwarx1000]

I disagree Starting something is always difficult than finishing. Giving birth, being born is diifficult, death is relatively peaceful and easy no matter how much pain you are in.

[@Daniel_Bianco]

I think what Nick was saying is that starting something *again* its hard. Like when you're in the middle of a creative process you must continue and never stop because if you do, entering that same rhythm that you were before is very difficult. In his case, I think the creative process as a whole must never stop, or it become hard to get in the mood again. Nevertheless, I agree with you that starting something *new* is always easier compared to finish an entire project or something

[@StarInvasion999]

IF I was Nick Cave, I definitely wouldnt have voices in my head telling me I'm shit.

[@WDeeGee1]

Yep, that's Satan alright, if you're doing well he'll tell you you are no good, quit, if you're being no good he'll tell ya you're all good keep it going. Evil is a force in nature whether you personalize it or not. Once you become aware, it can't do much but that snake always has a ways of hypnotizing you and putting you back you sleep: you 're all good, keep it going, you suck,better quick. Q:are those thoughts really you?

[@Bryce1989]

maybe its a joint

[@residue102]

@StarInvasion lol what an odd thing to say

[@Paaaaaaaaaaap]

Your money

[@WDeeGee1]

It's called manners and politeness. It's totally obsolete and very bad for your street credibility. Have you noticed he barely uses swear words? ... this guy is so not with it. Wait let me put on some Niki Minaj here.

[@SantaBaby401]

Is Nick Cave really depressed?
