Nick Cave - "The Weeping Song" - Live at Town Hall NYC

[@spencerjbbran]

One thing I've noticed is most other versions of this song (including the music video), there's always something humorous and comical about the performance. In most other versions, Nick is usually having fun and being a bit silly. Those versions are enjoyable but this performance seems heavier. It seems like he's expressing true emotional pain and spiritual lethargy. It's a beautiful performance. Truly haunting.

Maybe he thought his son this time

@@xzmafmm9998 This performance is from 2014, his son passed away from the accident in 2015....

Go son, go down to the water And see the women weeping there Then go up into the mountains The men, they are weeping too Father, why are all the women weeping? They are weeping for their men Then why are all the men there weeping? They are weeping back at them This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the men and women sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long Father, why are all the children weeping? They are merely crying son Oh, are they merely crying, father? Yes, true weeping is yet... to come This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While all the men and women sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long Oh father, tell me are you weeping? Your face seems wet to touch Oh, then I'm so sorry, father I never thought I hurt you so much This is a weeping song A song in which to weep While we rock ourselves to sleep This is a weeping song But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long But I won't be weeping long

Outstanding. This song really needs Blixa though.

[@archebeats]

Nick, yo

[@PatientenO.T.]

Hard to listen to this song without Blixa, but Nick does a good job here.

[@TheOriginalJBone]

So great. Would love a Nick Cave duet with Ville Valo

Amazing voice but not loving this rendition.

[@cohenmicah]

I was waiting for him to acknowledge that this song was some kind of parody but no. Seriously? Pretty bad.
