NickCave - Straight To You - documentary -Nanni Jacobson

[@wenshu888]

There's just something so sexy about this man. Not to mention that he's one of the great lyricist of the twentieth century (twenty-first remains to be seen); 'Into My Arms' has to be one of the top greatest love songs ever.

[@SludgeMan90]

he's PJ harvey, they are the same person.

[@sanjab.]

Murder Ballads is great album too!And yes, there's definitely something sexy and charismatic about Nick and his songs!

[@jaakovzaalberg9729]

He is going to Church sunday's and Christ is a very important Person for him. Into My Arms is a song with this kind of meeting with Jesus Christ in prayer.

[@gotham61]

I saw The Birthday Party in London in 1980. Amazing intense show. I took lots of pictures which I really should dig up.

[@katryanaorange2092]

And then when you dig them up, make a video for us!!! That would be a treat.

[@manuelacasale9199]

Please!

[@arrestmycaseband]

oof! must’ve been amazing. my favorite era of nick cave.

[@noodles7011]

I saw Nick and Kylie sing their duet in 1996 0r 97. I was so full of Heroin.

[@theneighborhoodscumxxxssatns]

Did you ever get those pictures of the birthday party? That’s one of my fav ever bands I would love to see those photos!

[@creepingcrawley6520]

I rewatch this weekly for mental sustenance

[@Weeeeeeeeeg]

I used to tape Saturday night rage as a kid and watch it on Sunday, writing down the vhs counter number of the songs I liked. Sometimes I would tape the show on before rage by accident, and that was how I saw this doco in my early teens and fell in love with Nick Cave for life.

[@imrichkotrba900]

The greatest artists put words to feelings we can not express anywhere near as eloquently, " I'm just a microscopic cog in a catastrophic plan." Enough said.

[@rhodayackez9570]

Damn good. He really shined in the 90s. Looked his best. Wrote his best. Saw him once. Need to see him once again.

[@nikita70]

Rhoda Yackez 80s/90s was the best time ever seen :;-), he would fit in perfectly and, symultanously, epoche has brought him up. I'd even jump to conclusion, 90s wouldn't be the same without NC having contributed with his mesmerizing attitude and aesthetics both gloomy and glamourish.

[@PSYCHOTRONICbrdcst]

I agree. I saw him with the Bad Seeds at the Town & Country club in London in 1988 and they were just fantastic. I must admit I think his music was much better then than what it is now.

[@MrMrjunala]

what are you talking about? he is still rolling like a MF

[@ashleyupshall7641]

I saw the B.P. with Neubauten and Malaria on a triple bill at the Lyceum in 82. That was a concert that truly changed my whole outlook on music, in a good way. 😊

[@Bavodekat]

You should have seen him in the early 80 s..in the 90 s..he was a dull man already..heroin..

[@kresimirvunic5589]

@Jim Newcombe He's up there with the best rock songwriters ever, and don't forget that his work is very much a collaborative effort. He's managed to pull off the impossible in his music, as very few have written lyrics so complex with such a rich (sometimes very skeletal) musical backing, and there's also the voice and the phrasing. One of a kind!

I feel very lucky to have seen Birthday Party at the Whiskey. They were awesome.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

Wow! You are lucky but you were there to begin with because something or somebody told you that you should see them. I have been listening to the Birthday Party for many years and never get tired of any of their music. Roland was one of the greatest guitarists ever. An other worldly sound! I only saw Nick Cave once in Philly in 1985, but I have tons of his music and concert videos. He is Nick the Stripper, he is King Ink!

[@Lucretciela]

@@littleghostfilms3012 So you're an old person, like me. I was lucky to have grown up in the right place at the right time, a very unique time. I saw many great shows between 78- early eighties, The Germs, early Cramps, etc... I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I feel sorry for todays young. All the unoriginal music nowadays.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

@@Lucretciela Old? Hahaha! I remain as youthful in my spirit and mind as I ever was. That's what it's all about. Art keeps you alive and kicking. As far as music today? You have to look for it. I found all kinds of music this year online. I love what's come out of Australia lately (back to N Cave land) Amyl and the Sniffers are a thrilling blast of Punk Rock dynamite, from England Sleaford Mods and Billy Nomates are two minimalist artists who rant against the system. Great sounds but not everybody's cup of tea. There's PJ Harvey(Nick's lady friend), Anna Calvi, Fiona Apple, really so many others. You just have to look and keep your ears open. I've been listening to the Cramps a whole lot this year! Ivy's guitar playing is up there with the best. Enjoy life, find good stuff!

[@baronsaturday9529]

I love 'Himmel Uber Berlin' from Wim Wenders and this whole period in Berlin.. And I can see why Nick wanted to live there, that city fits him very well in that time period!

[@kathypeck6274]

The older I get the more I love Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. OMG!! When I was younger I really didn’t get his Birthday Party stuff but I was just a stupid, blinkered, narrow minded, ignorant child.

Io ti conosco da alcuni mesi. Mi sento nell'universo quando ti ascolto. Non mi stanco mai di guardarti e guardare i tuoi video. Leggo i testi delle canzoni in italiano perché non so l'inglese.

That Boys Next Door clip at the beginning is astonishing. He already had it down, the whole Nick Cave sound.

[@ReviveFromMyMind]

In Nick we trust

[@timsgrrl]

Had this on VHS and watched it repeatedly. Thank you so much x

[@FrostedSeagull]

I first saw this documentary on Australia's SBS Channel on the eve off Nick's 1994 Oz tour. A brilliant documentary as Nick talks. We get a brief, but important look at The Boys Next Door through the Shivers film clip. The Boys Next Door morphed into The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party - Australia's best ever punk band, in the post-punk era. At that time the footage shown by this doco had only seen by very few. Australian media, including our own Molly Meldrum did not play videos or even show pictures of the Birthday Party. Countdown made one live reference to The Birthday Party and that was that they had topped the Indie charts in the UK. The doco showing the clip to Junkyard Dog from Dutch TV, where it aired live in 1983 was a touch of class by the makers of this documentary. Many people saw the clip to Shivers for either the first time, OR, had not seen the clip since 1979 thanks to this documentary. The documentary ends well with material from the magnificent - Let Love In - album. The success of Let Love In catapulted Nick Cave into the mainstream and he actually made money after 15 years in the industry.!

I wonder if Nick Cave ever crossed paths with Tom Waits. I've always thought they're both men untethered from time and current trends. And they've been making music for about the same time

[@looshkin66]

...in a perfect world.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Herman Brood aNd Captain Beefheart

[@cj3126]

Sebastian ....funny you say that bc they are my two favorites. But I assume that is the same for many of us. I don't like comparing. I think I love them equally but for me, living in some of the places in LA Tom Waits writes about I suppose I feel more warmth from Tom. Both elite.

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes , I could picture him and Tom Waits together ; but the first time I ever heard Nick Cave I felt he was inspired by or trying to channel Jim Morrison .

[@toxotorana]

yes just read the book of his early life 'Boy on Fire' and him, Tracy Pew and maybe Mick Harvey ran into him in a St. Kilda Cafe that was famous for the white powder takeaways and Greek made Hamburgers (australian cuisine). that was in Boys Next Door days.

I've said for many years that nick will be remembered for many years beyond Bob and the beatles and maybe Leonard Cohen. He is so underrated. History will serve him his due.

[@christiangasior4244]

Lol Nick is good and all, great lyrics, but he doesn’t hold a candle to The Beatles musically, nor would his music exist without them. The Beatles are the most important and best band/artists in popular music ever. Leonard Cohen is similar but much better lyrically, which is where they both shine. Dark and confessional poetry. Leonard Cohen doesn’t have any goth artifice which is cool. I prefer him. But yeah I just came to say that Nick Cave is great but he isn’t in the same league as The Beatles.

[@nedirajmep]

@@christiangasior4244 we are talking about lyrics. I hope that you dont think that The Beatles are better in writing ... again, we dont talk about music

[@nikita70]

Thanks for sharing. It adds layers, so said, it really does. Nick seems to be kinda more... human after watching this, it sort of made me 're-read' (or re-write) his picture and enabled me to see him as a person, not just an obnonxious, extremely whimsy and self-centered individual... A whole lot of great music (like eg.Berlin in 70s/80s-just WOW!!!) and very informative stuff. Thanks again!!!

[@Nannilovescats]

Thank you !

[@pablosmoglives]

Apply that lesson to everybody you meet so as to avoid being a presumptuous ass. Everybody is a person. Your perceptions are irrelevant.

[@nikita70]

I have no doubts everybody is a person. But some people seem to intentionally diminish/belittle their properties as human being, flesh and blood. Oddly enough, I'm (and have been) a Nick Cave's fan even though having had plenty of mixed emotions as for his behaviour etc. To be someone work's fan is one thing and being uncritical is something completely else. Anyway, I do feel much more comfortable now, since I know the person who I apreciate and respect a lot is... a person, so said.
