[@karamills1]

I lost my incredibly brilliant artistic son, Austin , who had "bipolar disorder" four years ago this month two days after a freakishly beautiful, and extremely rare snow in Tucson Az. He died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl. There's not a lot of grief help for the most horrible of grief, that of losing a child...I stumbled upon Nick Cave's book as I'm a librarian. I knew of his sorrow times two of mine. Just reading the first few pages and listening to Ghosteen is exactly what I need to heal...there will be no sense of this loss... ever...but it can be beautifully horrible and bearable...and may be a huge release of creative love and thinking about what is truth

[@johnarundell7951]

Nick made the album 4 years after he lost his son, so if you just discovered this now you are exactly where he was when he recorded these amazing songs. My condolences for your boy. You would like the Carnage album as well, being sort of a follow up to Ghosteen by Nick and Warren alone without all the Bad Seeds. When Nick and Warren toured recently they played most of Ghosteen + Carnage.

[@karamills1]

@@johnarundell7951 thank you. I will check it out as well. 🙏🏼

[@dukeofdeath276]

This song is almost too hard to listen to. Nick Cave has always had the amazing talent of being able to convey moods and feelings of such magnitude that can make listeners feel like they are experiencing the exact same emotions that he was feeling when he wrote the song. No one does it better. And when someone of his calibur writes a song about an event so tragic, and so unimaginably heart breaking- such as the death of a child- the end result is possibly the closest one can get to experiencing it first-hand without it actually happening to you. Nick Cave has been one of my all-time favorite artist for a little over 20 years, and even after two decades of thinking as highly of him as someone possibly could, I gained so much more admiration and respect for him for giving us a completely open and brutally honest look into his soul, for the amount of respect and love he showed us all by sharing his experience of such pain and suffering, and for the amount of trust it must have taken on his part to willingly let himself be seen in such a vulnerable and defeated state. There are very few people in the world that have the strength and bravery to let that side of themselves be seen by others.

A legend and master songwriter at his very best. This is as good as it gets.

[@flowersforferdinand375]

He is speaking about the balance between both the weakness and the strength of humanity's eagerness to find symbolism and divinity, even if there is rarely (if ever) truly such a thing. He is saying our ability to stretch the truth into fantasies can be a beautiful and cathartic trait of us people - and he embraces it logically, accepting the fantasy of bright horses and a dancing light (his son) returning on the 5 o'clock train. Because, at the end of the day, why not? It is beauty and it is hope, and all the merrier if you harness it knowingly. So devastatingly beautiful..

[@DanielSaner]

Songwriters of Nick Cave's calibre, there are only a few in a generation. He manages to put all of life and human existence in five minutes. At the best of times, hearing his songs "from the outside", they are magnificent and heartbreaking. But when you're going through something yourself, they just rip you apart from the core and let all the emotion break out. Songs like these save lives, because one part of the message they carry is always, "you're not alone." I'm grateful - the world is a better place for having Nick in it, and creating.

[@canaldohank6938]

Listening to Nick Cave it's a religious experience. I believe in God and I believe that God himself chosen Nick to speak through him by music. Listening to this song with our eyes closed is like being a little bit closer to Our Lord. I'm very sorry for those who doesn't feel anything like this and I hope one day they will. Best regards from Brasil.

[@theloner6063]

Em qual 'Deus" vc acredita? Pq nenhum deus de nenhuma religião existe. Falando da Bíblia, especificamente....os hebreus em relação ao Antigo Testamento, copiaram as principais histórias dos Sumérios, a cultura mais antiga da história da humanidade. Durante o cativeiro na Babilonia, os hebreus souberam das histórias das tabuletas escritas em tipo cuneiforme, por meio das traduções acádias. O "deus" de Israel, o deus dos hebreus, é Enlil, um Anunna (Anunnaki ). Enki, seu meio-irmão, foi quem nos criou, via engenharia genética, pegando óvulo de uma femea primata e esperma Anunnaki. Ninmah, meia-irmã de Enlil e ENKI, ficou responsável pela gestação de Adamu (o Adão biblico). Os Anunnaki não eram deuses, mas foram considerados "deuses" pelos babilonios. Os Anunnaki eram uma raça de forma humana, com tecnologia avançada. Eles vieram para a Terra há 450 mil anos, em busca de um minério, o ouro, para transformá-lo em ouro monoatomico.Eles precisavam de tal minério pois a atmosfera do planeta deles (Nibiru) estava se deteriorando rapidamente. Enki decidiu nos criar pq o DNA Anunnaki era de certa forma, muito semelhante ao DNA dos primatas de Abzu (Sul da África). Mas depois que os Anunnaki tiveram que deixar nosso planeta, Enlil escolheu Ibru-Um (Abraão na língua suméria) para guiar o povo hebreu. Os hebreus foram escolhidos pq Abraão tinha como ancestrais os seguidores de Enlil. Ur (de onde veio Abraão) era a cidade onde ENLIL era a 'divindade' adorada nos tempos sumérios. Leia O Livro Perdido de Enki. A Bíblia causou danos irreversíveis ao mundo...esconderam a verdade da humanidade durante milenios. O Livro Perdido de Enki lhe revelará tudo o que a Bíblia escondeu. O Livro Perdido de Enki foi traduzido de 800 tabuletas sumérias, encontradas em Nínive, no Palácio do último rei Assírio, Assurbanipal. As tabuletas datam de 6 mil anos, mais antigas do que a própria existencia dos hebreus. Os hebreus e todos os povos vieram da mesopotamia....nos tempos de Ibru-Um (Abraão)..os Sumérios já não existiam, mas todos aqueles povos....incluindo os caldeus (como Abraão) descendiam dos Sumérios. Os Anunnaki deixaram a Terra quando a Suméria foi destruída. Enlil escolheu Ibru-Um justamente pq queria passar aos terrestres a sua moral. Enquanto isso, ENKI, nosso criador, foi demonizado, chamado de "Satanás" (que na língua falada pelos hebreus significa Acusador, Adversário, que era um termo difundido para os que eram contra uma Lei, normal, estilo de comportamento adotado de acordo com as regras impostas por Enlil).

It's a bleak and grey December afternoon in 2021. The world is sad and I have the blues. I've heard Ghosteen loads of times and perhaps, this is my stand out song on the album. This wonderful body of work. Reading the comments and what this song means to so many of you, it's difficult not to feel the sting of tears in my eyes. An emotional rollercoaster of mixed thoughts of where my life is right now and the comments other posters have made about love. And loss. I am a 56 year old bloke and admit that I am unusually sensitive. And I've hated myself for it all of my life. But at least at derive comfort knowing that at least when it comes to music, I am usually in the company of good strangers. Thank you. 🙏

Sending you so much love. May you be protected and may you be able to hold on. I got out too but it took decades, it sounds so silly to be an adult and still be terrified of, and hurt by, my family, but that's the reality. If you can, plan. Make as many plans as possible to get out but don't write anything down that can be found. Plan, save money, slowly and carefully remove any small thing that is of meaning to you and hold it somewhere safe out of the house, and then one day just go. I started out in a shared house, in a disgusting room with no possessions at all. I worked 2 jobs and did college at night. It was hard for a few years but then it starts to get easier and easier. I believe in you and your future too. One day all this pain will just be a memory. But you must hold on. Keep fighting for your life. Believe you will one day be safe and happy because you will be! Please, please don't take your life. My brother did a few years ago, he just couldn't cope any longer and while I understand his decision, it hurts so much. You are needed. Your life matters.

[@virtualwarp]

This song seems to hold a clear message. It is both positive and, later on, negative. Yet it ends with thoughts of optimism and hope. I believe the first part tries to convey the importance of fantasy, faith, believe and love. As if told by a wake dreamer at the abyss of his own despair. The second part points at the lack of sympathy, imagination and the overall cruelty it spreads wide over our reality. How kindness devolved into rudeness, mystery got trapped by the claws of oblivion, and intimacy got dissolved by eager hands. Yet, there is still room for beauty to peak through the glimmer of a clear mind. The end is where this individual chooses to live through this hideous world by casting his light on the darkest of places. Not to expose it of its ugliest marks, but to dress it with the most appealing vision of how it could be.

It's not the future. It happened in the beginning of 2019.

Found spirituality when it was least apparent

I agree with everything everyone says about this song. But can I have a hallelujah for Warren Ellis' beatific voice?

Blonde brought me here. Beautiful

Lovely as a song can be. One of the greatest story tellers. This band is so amazing and powerful live,seen them 8 times now,and will see them every time they come to the USA. GHOSTEEN rules! Hollywood is my favorite track,but this is my second favorite. Cheers to all you bad seeds!
