Prior to his Conversations tour in 2019 , I wrote to Nick on the Red Hand Files about the recent loss of my beautiful partner , asking him to play Love Letter for me . Not only did he play it , but he even mentioned her by name..still brings me to tears . Such empathy for others is rare 😢

While watching this interview you say Mothers go thru a different thing “a hell on to itself”….I grasp with relief because I lost my daughter’s 2 years ago and am still struggling to find my way. She was a great admirer of your music and she introduced me to it. She also saw you in concert at a venue in Boston, MA. I still have the ticket stub she saved. My daughter was not a believer in religion even though she grew up in a catholic family. As she grew she went her own way and I understood that this happens. So her service was simple but full of music. Hearing “Into My Arms” beings me back to that moment. My heart, my soul is lost without her. The world I see has not been the same….she is gone. Thank you for your insight and this interview. ❤️🎶🎶🎶☮️

Don't know, never had or lost a child, but of course mother is a mother, but father is still a father... I think it is an actual job of the fathers, like Nick Cave in this instance, to somehow manly carry his grieve inside and aside, so that the mother can have more space to grieve. Just a thought, from a man. That's how we kind of tend to operate, at our best.

When did you last hear of someone like Mr Cave read all the letters sent to him on the Red hand files? This man is our national treasure and we are the richer for it. His humility rises above any other trait he may have and he lays open his frailty like I have never seen someone famous do. He is real ,he is human and he is authentic. Thank you for a glimpse into your world and please keep inspiring us by walking amongst us as we deal with our grief, our gratitude and our wishes. You do this with your music and your website.

Grief never really goes away, it sits in the pit of my stomach until a memory or a favourtie song comes on the radio and I am transported back to a very, very sad time. I am still me, but I am different and as I have become older, I reflect on those that I have lost and have found as the years haved passed, not only their voices, but also their faces have become blurry in my mind. My Labrador, Lucy helped me so much through my pain, when we had to say goodbye, I noticed a smudge mark from where she rubbed herself on the living room wall, I never wiped it off. Even when the room was painted, that area had to be left untouched. Those of you who have been touched by loss will understand why I left that smudge on my wall. I wish Nick well. An excellent interview. thanks for uploading

Very open and raw interview for him but I definitely feel there's therapy there just by hearing his take on it.

Seeing Nick say in 1997 how easy it is to be a good father brings back memories. I felt the same way for a very brief period. I think fathers often neglect just how much of their slack is picked up by the Mothers of their children or in a worst case scenario, by nobody. I had absolutely zero male role models growing up, I had a father but he wasn't a role model and I didn't like or love him. I didn't particularly like men or myself. Being a good father is not easy for me, but it is everything for me.

I saw the Birthday Party live ! they were great. But after that he turned his back on rock and became a folk singer. Now he's become an elder Stateman Bank Manager. And now he gets 'God bless' on youtube. Embarrassing. Always preferred Public Image Limited. They always stayed true to their roots.

@@rulnacco No its Cave thats become one note. Just folk music with indulgent lyrics. Thats my point, you would've hated early Birthday Party when they stood for something. But now that he dresses like Prince Charles mainstream Oz thinks he's ok.

This interviewer was extraordinary. Cogent and engaging on top of the material, funny and intelligent and still able to ask questions in a manner that engaged the interviewee, drawing him out to open up without seeming intrusive.. We have no one like her here in the US. Very refreshing.

In 5 days of my posting this, it will be 3 months since my mother died, both suddenly and unexpectedly. I am a devout, practicing Greek-Catholic, to the point of my even spending time living in a Ukrainian Catholic monastery for a period. With that said, while mine and Nick’s approaches to and identification with the Christian religion is different than my own, I find such peace and solace in this interview within my own current state of grief. I remember when Skeleton Tree first came out, I immediately found great peace and beauty amongst the despair, and I still do today. I remember being blessed to see the accompanying film, One More Time With Feeling, while visiting a friend in Prague; and, how, upon the conclusion of the film, my friend and I sat there in near total silence, both just contemplating the various losses that we’ve dealt with in our own lives.

1988/89 NYE, I was at a humungous Sydney dance party on the really good extasy of the time. I believe their was 6000 people. At dawn break a DJ played the entire mercy seat album outside. We danced in the rain. It was a peak experience in my life. Nick has been a favourite my entire life. I'm 53 now. Xox thankyou Nick xox

Many many years ago I was working for my Uncle who is a bricklayer / builder to earn a bit more money on my school holidays to buy my first car. He had an apprentice at the time who went to Caulfield Grammar high school and he was also a bit of a troubled youth. He told me he had broken into the principals office and stolen some student records. 1 of which belonged to Nick Cave, he told me there was some wild stuff in that record, but never did elaborate on what was in there. I wonder to this day if it was true. But I do recall growing up in Elsternwick in the 80s/90s there was some graffiti scribbled on the bridge of the train station that read "I love Nick Cave" for some reason it always stuck out. I always wonder who wrote it.

I first met Nick Cave in 1994 and he was such a total different person. His ego then was monumental that people closest to him were having a hard time staying friends with him. I witnessed him being very belligerent and confrontational if he was merely just bored. Still an interesting and at times very funny guy. I think when he married Susie he became a different man and seemed more humble and kind to his fans finally as he could be snarky in the past. Beautiful how a beautiful spirit of woman can make the most stubborn men be humbled by love. He is almost a total opposite of 70s to 90s Cave it’s actually pretty remarkable. Instead of kicking people in the face of people of the front row he now hugs and makes kindly contact . Susie is an amazing lady.
