Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song (Official Video)

[@olgabartolowicz6048]

my father introduced me to Nick Cave's music when I was a kid. He passed away last year after a very difficult fight with acute leukemia. I played this song on his funeral.

[@ashleyupshall7641]

Nice. Sorry to hear of your loss.

This song always remind me of 2013 and early 2014, when I was so depressed, I kept listening this song for days and days, couldn't sleep without it. Then everything went back to normal, I started listening other songs instead of repeating this one all day. Now it's 3 years later, I'm in uni right now, everything in my life is fine, but I'll always remember this song, how did it help me with my life, heartbreaking yet inspired at the same time.

Same for me., but in 2015.

This is Blixas song. Nick is the counterpoint. Love . Repeating for the 20th time.

[@simondavis750]

All songs are Blixa songs. He just allows his cosmic majesty to flow through the worlds dreams and interpret these esoteric sounds through them. But yes, this one is a Blixa song with Nick there for the giggles.

If there were more songs like this in today's musical landscape then the world would be a better place.

[@travisutkin3728]

Dear Master of Australian music,Nick Cave,please dont ever think your not loved as a muso,your great,and thats the TRUTH!!

[@Ariadne7279]

I was really young when I heard this song, about 9 or 10 years old. Every time I hear it, I remember one afternoon, in my home village, where the setting sun was shedding its final light on some abandoned houses, making the fading ochre on the walls glow.. the olive trees rustling in the breeze.a sweet and melancholic memory, one of the few I treasure from a troubled childhood. This song is its soundtrack.

Was randomly listening to Nick Cave and Birthday Party songs this evening, then this one came up and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I lost my dad to prostate cancer on July 25th 2023. I wasn't the easiest son to raise or deal with, but damn he loved me no matter what. I'm just glad I was able to tell him that I loved him before it happened. Not everyone gets to do that. But damn this song stings. I miss him so much.

[@SL-es5kb]

I’m sorry for your loss. If you haven’t already I highly recommend diving into Caves more recent albums. He wrote them after he lost his son and they really helped me grieve. ❤

I heard Cave in concert once (ca 2000). I can testify that his powerful baritone is not some studio trick. He really sings that good live.

[@Bitteulze]

I like this clip because you can totally tell that there had fun doing it. Especially Nick who seems on the edge of laughter at a few moments. It's always funny to notice the discrepancy between the depth and darkness of his lyrics and the real life Nick Cave.

[@marjoleindevries3383]

[@fotoautomatmusic]

The one and only Blixa, band member from beginning up until about 1999. Saw Nick through some of his best albums. 💙 Blixa. All of the bad seeds in fact are incredible musicians in their own right. Mick Harvey, Conway savage, Blixa, Martyn Casey, Warren Ellis. Amazing ppl he surrounded himself with.

[@retroxvampire]

My heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of your beloved son, Nick and Susie. I too, have a teenage son and upon hearing the news of Arthur's death, I went and hugged mine. We should all take the time to hug our loved ones just a little bit tighter, I know I will. Bless you Nick, may your family find peace.

[@royalisko44]

This song is incredible. Thanks a lot from Slovakia.

This song brings up strange, confusing emotions. One moment, I just wanna weep uncontrollably at the misery of everything, the next, I wanna leap with joy and dance without a single worry in the world.

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 O, are they merely crying, father?

@@MrRUKnight Lou Reed is cool but I'd have to rank him below the other guys because Lou Reed always seemed to put too much effort into being cool and everybody knows that trying to be cool just isn't cool. Plus the whole pretentious NYC thing going on. Still pretty cool though. For the category of excellence in the effortless zen of coolness, I'd also nominate Iggy Pop, Kim Deal, and Tom Petty not necessarily in that order.
