Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Loverman

[@InSingularity]

Something about Nick Cave is just so visceral and raw and passionate.

[@surfsuze]

I AGREE

[@zuppadigamberetti7288]

Also I think he comes off as completely authentic, his tendencies to be over the top and theatrical feel natural.

Can never get over the raw emotionality in this song and video. Keep coming back to it after so many years, and the entire album as well. Masterpiece.

[@jonathanpusar5931]

Madness and obsession in song form. Nothing I've heard like it. That frantic nature and the intensity of each chorus repetition. It's profound: All the worst of humanity....hate, obsession...and the best including beauty...stems from love. Love can be beautiful as it can be deadly. There's a loverman in every intense person. Only question is how that is channeled. Some become billionaires or saints. Others become crooks and murderers...but the very essence of both is created by the same toxic love affair.

[@staresatthesun]

I just remind you something guys. When some band makes a cover of other band's song, it is not an attempt to make it better. First it's just kind of tribute. And second it's attempt to make the song shine with new colors. Metallica's version and this original perfomed even in different genres. So don't argue which version is better. They both are beautiful each in its own way.
