Nick Cave Sings "A Rainy Night in Soho" at Shane MacGowan's Funeral

[@BrianGillespie-g8u]

Nick Cave is vertically crying nearly crying myself

[@tominessex1252]

@@BrianGillespie-g8u Shame on Nick Cave for being one of the only artists who is still happy to perform in the terrorist state of Israel - his reputation is forever tarnished beyond repair ! Shane would be appalled !

[@benji.B-side]

You could feel the emotion in Nick Cave's voice, that was heartfelt and a beautiful tribute. RIP Shane, you shined like a star and your light remains to shine in our souls.

[@johnoconnor4623]

Yes, I will listen for a long time. You are right that Nick had emotion in his voice.

[@thelonelypiper9562]

Il a l'air triste ,mais il se retient de pleurer 😢

[@patfitzie]

Right man for the job, Nick Cave. Stuck the right note with his delivery here for the occasion. Can't think of anyone who could have done better.

Powerful , from the heart. How many of us Gen x realise how luck we were to grow up with Nick Cave, Shane McGowan and Joe Strummer.

[@zellah]

They are/were all Boomers like me. We aren’t all out of step. :)

[@NiteMareBliss]

Yesssssss ☺️ I saw Nick Cave in concert at St Andrew's hall in Detroit when I was only in my 20's in the early 1990's and I treasure that night forever. In a sad scary world at least I feel so lucky to be a Gen X'r. I feel like we were there for so much that people who weren't could never understand...😢

[@petermcculloch4933]

I first saw Nick at a Saturday afternoon pub talent quest in Melbourne, Australia.If you are reading this Nick, yep, that was me.I was the audience member.He had a punk band.I think they were called the Boys Next Door and they performed These Boots Are Made For Walking.Yes, even then he was charismatic enough to have a big impact.

[@zellah]

My first Nick experience was with the Birthday Party - 1983 at Tuts in Chicago. Have seen the Bad Seeds, Grinderman and solo Nick. 🖤

A wonderful tribute to Shane. Well done Nick Cave. Farewell to Shane, a man you don't meet every day.

[@evansevansevans1]

I remember I had a maths teacher who was a big Pogues fan, would read lyrics in assembly and discuss how beautiful they were. I remember trying to talk to him about Nick Cave and he was dismissive and said he was terrible. 30 years later, I wonder what he thinks about this. I bet he knows what I was getting at now. Salute, Mr Ridings, if you’re watching.

[@batard2001]

Perfect! 😂

[@llinski8953]

I hope your teacher is still alive?!! Great memory ♥

[@philharrison5242]

Find someone who sings about you the way Nick Cave sings about Shane and who looks at you the way Nick Cave looks at the violinist ❤

[@thomasandersen6719]

At 3.40 when he sings "now this song is over" (leaves out "nearly") while looking at the coffin is very touching

Im normally disappointed when my favorite verse is skipped when someone plays this song, but in this case it was quite apt. Im not sure Nick could've sung that one and then the last as well without bawling. Beautiful tribute from a friend. Rest in Peace, Shane

I know - its my favourite too - the imagery of the lonely empty room - Nick never sings it - maybe too personal.
