If Nick can get through the second verse of this song you can get through whatever you're going through right now.

[@noelrafferty]

Thanks man.. great words

[@Him_Downstairs36]

What’s the song about? I’m assuming he suffered some kind of loss.

[@pantalaemon]

@@Him_Downstairs36 his son died in 2015

[@Cheeks730]

@@pantalaemon damn wow 😔

[@cappachino78]

@@Him_Downstairs36 @pantalaemon one of Cave’s twin sons, died following a fall from a cliff in East Sussex in the summer of 2015, aged just 15. Cave turning to his work to write the furiously emotional sixteenth Bad Seeds studio album Skeleton Tree. This song is next to the end of the album.

[@sinnertrain7405]

THANK GOD that there's an audience for this type of music!!! Most of the people in my life cannot appreciate the beauty, albeit dark, that's not trying to sell you something or be aural wall paper to suit your drab, gray existence.

[@cinthiapatronalonzo.6167]

This is very sweet. I feel exactly the same 💜

[@eatsam]

We're here

[@francoiscubizol355]

Sinner Train = very hard to say more !! Your words are just perfect. thanks for the message

[@michaelhardiman2271]

We are armed against our doom. Compassion and love.

[@adjoho1]

One of the purest forms of humanity is grief. There is beauty in it.

[@TopCatandMrDibble]

Bless my child. Off into the distant sky, face to the rising sun, eyes unseeing yet reflecting that golden light. Always loved and forever 19. I will be there soon my beloved one.

[@jamesmoconnell]

Warren's violin outro is utterly heartbreaking.

[@arieverhoeff9141]

Else Torp is outstanding, the lyrics are outstanding but when Warren's violin starts to play my eyes ..., btw who's cutting onions?

[@treehousebookshop6121]

But they lied...

[@keithmeloy8748]

Life imitates Art. I am sat at my son's bedside in Dorset County Hospital where he is in Palliative Care, listening to this. It's truly great Art and excellent musicianship but it's the well of emotion in Nick's eyes that I recognise. So moving.......................

[@SarahMcMullanNZ]

I'm so sorry Keith. Words are inadequate - especially from a stranger. Please find solace + beauty wherever you can. Aroha. X

[@beingjoshmc]

Cried throughout this whole song and still crying after. I’ve been a music fanatic my entire life and I’ve never found an artist that speaks to me on the level Nick Cave does.

[@gaynorgregory2528]

He has that effect on people. At least he does on certain kinds of people.

[@forestsunset9617]

Kate Bush?

[@Ryanp1267]

@beingjoshmc Me too!!! Well said mate. Listen to this band called Bad Knights. They have the one album called 'Letters to Everybody'. Some slow ones, others rockier...but such depth, rawness and meaning in every song. Grows and grows on you. The lead singers voice is quite something too.

[@wenders99]

A truly selfless piece of art. Nick has chosen to grieve in the open, knowing that it will help countless people to mourn and hopefully wake for another day. That’s enough to be thankful for.

[@YouCantHaveRebBull]

Its horrible to see nick struggle in the second verse i cant imagine the pain he is going through

[@wamr-o7r]

Distant Sky Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Let us go now, my one true love Call the gasman, cut the power out We can set out, we can set out for the distant skies Watch the sun, watch it rising in your eyes Let us go now, my darling companion Set out for the distant skies See the sun, see it rising See it rising, rising in your eyes They told us our gods would outlive us They told us our dreams would outlive us They told us our gods would outlive us But they lied Let us go now, my only companion Set out for the distant skies Soon the children will be rising, will be rising This is not for our eyes

[@robertsommers7214]

I really like the arrangement of the lyrics in this version -- where Nick sings his first verse, Else sings both of hers, and then Nick sings his second verse. That ending is just devastating.

[@mickhobbs901]

Incredible performance by all concerned.Just pure emotion from start to finish.Epic from Warren at the end as well.

[@MikeFoxCo]

No one other can paint darkness so beautiful.

[@patriciabelchiere9688]

Absolutely stunning and so incredibly beautiful and moving. Else Torp is such a lovely modest smiling wonderful accomplished accompanist, and Nick and Else and the band moved this song into the realm of Gods for me, and if this isn't one of the best concert performances ever then I don't know what is. Just wonderful. The whole concert blew me away but this to me was the highlight.

[@ricardoalexandre9182]

six minutes and twenty-eight seconds of magical celebration of loss, pain and love ...

[@rainbowrainbow-do9zg]

I think the same

[@halfsquatch]

This is just unbelievably emotional to watch. What a powerful statement of love in the face of loss. Of beauty and hope juxtaposed against disillusionment and dispair. When Nick stood up from the piano to sing the final lines, I , like him, was overcome. Just absolutely stunning. Thank you Nick and the Bad Seeds for this--just amazing.

[@jasam123]

Why do you consider this as a "statement of love in the face of loss"?

[@halfsquatch]

@@jasam123 Love is in the first line of the lyrics. The loss is of faith (and other things, by implication). But you also can't separate this song from what happened in Mr Cave's personal life. In that context, this song becomes even more beautiful and tragic.

[@Paul-ve7rn]

They say Johnray, Mate, that the two strongest emotions are love and grief. Nick Cave summed up both in this song and so did you in your comments. Well done.

[@johnsrome8459]

anonimni youtube: Yours is an old comment, granted. Who knows what you or anybody thinks a year hence? Just curious - were you digging in to the comment to explore what Mr Fuller was really thinking, or were you intentionally rejecting the rather straightforward point that Nick was singing about the son he loved but lost? The message couldn't be clearer, frankly. Someone's missing something here. It might be me but this time, Nah...

[@smath7782]

Gives me chills.

[@cleveland2020]

[@benitofernando8524]

That scene in ZSJL with this amazing song took me to another world..emotional ❤

[@jamesspeer5494]

Zack Snyder's Justice League brought me here. Thank God! This is music for the soul. I strongly believe Snyder was influenced by the passing of his daughter Autumn, so much so a few songs in the movie like this and Song for the Siren are featured perfectly throughout the film.

[@lnvrtd]

Agreed - "For Autumn" are the words at the beginning of the end credits. Recently I experienced the loss of a loved one. Those moments in the movie, together with the soundtracks you mention, were deeply touching. I think the same can be said for anyone that has or is experiencing loss.

[@jamesspeer5494]

@@lnvrtd absolutely, I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my grandfather and I understand that music is truly a gift from God. It cleanses, heals and lifts our soul out of the darkness. Wish you the best fellow stranger, stay golden

I was lucky enough to be at this gig and the goose bumps and tears that I had then are here again watching this beautiful piece of music. There's nothing else to add; it's simply Nick cave & The Bad Seeds (and Vanja Stijepovic Else Torp) at their awesome best!

[@pinpinipnip]

I wish the crowd would be quiet till the end of the song. Not really a "woooo" "yeah!!" kind of number.

[@monkeyface6139]

This is everything 💗💗💗

[@briananderson1290]

Awesome track, dark, melodic and haunting. can anyone explain the story, is it two lovers who have taken their lives together and left their children behind? So emotional.

[@jimdalziel6226]

Well, here's the thing. I was always aware of Mr Cave, but not really paying attention. I came across 'God is in the House', then 'Love Letter' bought some CDs Nocturama being my favourite...'Wonderful Life' and 'Are you the One' came next, and I thought that was as good as it gets, but now this blows it all out the water. I have honestly never seen anything as heartfelt as this, I don't know what else to say. There's something in my eye...

[@krittatsukman8635]

Snyder’s JL brought me to this masterpiece. I was completely blown away by Torp’s voice,
