"Oh, my lord" Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds High Quality

... uufffff... !!!

[@markussamnell6408]

A totally underrated album. This song as well as Hallelujah and others are such intense masterpieces that I become weak every time I listen to them. I've only seen Cave live once, in Roskilde arround 2001 (or 02?) close to the release of this album. That is still one of the most magnificient shows I have ever attended.

I listen Nick Cave and the Bas Seeds for a 20 years . This album is one of my favourite ....unique masterpiece.

[@peanutpumpgun]

+Barbara Damijanić Same here. Got every album he ever made ! But this one is the masterpiece no one can ever out perform!

[@woudwilder8324]

No more shall we part is my favorite as well. Been a fan since 1990 when I was 14 but No more Shall we part completely blew me away and it still does...

[@hangalf]

Yes siree!

[@elcapitanroby]

I just had to say that i'm addicted to this song... one of the reasons is the extreme feelings that Cave uses, like in all songs, but i think this one (live) he just sings with his full heart and soul. And very important, he can makes us feel the same... like it was said before, he is a truly genius!!!!

[@woodsoke]

Excellent Excellent song! I had the chance to see him and the seeds live on Oslo back when this tour was on, the croud woudln't go home and we got THREE standing ovations in form of extra songs each time until Nick ordered us to go home WHAT A NIGHT!!

[@elizabethpinkerton9866]

One of the first concerts I saw. It was amazeingly intense and beautiful. It made a me fan forever!

[@suesutton9226]

I agree , I think it is a masterpiece, and one of nick caves best albums , and this song is one of my personal favorites. Simply amazing : )

[@JaredGammel]

Nick and Warren were, and still are, completely awe-inspiring

[@Lieu3C4]

This is a young Ellis, when still Blixa and Mick ? O.

[@KirillGh0st]

yes

[@seelenwinter6662]

wow... one of the best live artists ever...

[@PatanLord1]

He´s such a talented artist, the greatest performer i ever seen.

[@TheTchui]

absolutamente de acuerdo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ jNICK CAVE jamas deja de superarse, una cancion y otra TODAS SON BUENISIMAS........INCOMPARABLE......NADIE COMO EL ...NADIE

[@MyraMuse]

A song as the response to the wrong picture people had about someone. “Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion, but their words of derision meant they hardly knew me, for even I could see in the way they looked at me…" Cave’s music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Absolutely amazing and overwhelming!

[@silverwolf2061]

words cant adds to this..........wow just love this man so much

[@AviadHadad]

I listen to quite a lot of metal, and still I must say the 4:59 is one of the most epic and well-deserved head banging I've ever saw\heard. gotta love how this song starts so mellow and builds up so beautifully until it explodes.

[@mickhobbs901]

Builds up into a fabulous crescendo...Nick & the boys in fantastic form.What a song !!

[@nsensei2112]

I think the most underated singer in the history of modern music. If mtv had played him more he would be one of the most sold out quadroplatinum artist playing in wembley arena like celine dion. I think nick is bigger than Sinatra. Nice guy also met him on leister square once in L.F.F

[@markobegus]

its been almost a month since i found this song you posted...its also been a month i've been listening to it every day.

[@StefaniaLF]

i so agree with your "uuffff" comment! it's the most appropriate thing to say after holding your breath for 8 minutes! unbelievable song!

[@illtypehuman]

seems like the comment section of real good music is where the normal people are at. thank you! ;p

[@TheThomasbuffet]

What an incredible, crazy and powerful song! This man is possessed... When you listen to the LP, you could think he sings alive! Am I the only one to cry on this song?

[@morbius101]

I get to see him live finally this summer. I hold a secret hope in my heart that he'll play this song.

[@morbius101]

@Jimaroc I'm afraid not but it was still I think the best concert I've ever been to :D

[@jogahoo]

what an outstanding presentation ... every time Cave tops himself ... ! ♥

[@EuchridEucrow1]

A Warren-Blixa collaborative solo, now that's a fucking treat!

[@ridjam2325]

I've seen this song live twice, with two different band line ups, and both were amazing. I play this to annoying heavy metal teenagers to show them that you can generate a "heavy" sound with a piano and violin every bit as much as twin guitar attacks.

[@steeveferraresi6598]

beautiful song and video ,great artiste

[@Deicide1985]

The last minute of the song still gives me chills every time.

[@lewisr00]

And the hairdresser held up her mirror...... Class

[@marijanmiletic1614]

O, my Nick the Lord.

[@meravazur]

Blixa's solo is wonderful

[@familygirlxx]

@psike5000 I agree! I agree, I agree!! You always hear people talking up Nick and the Bad Seeds older albums, The Boatman's Call, From Her to Eternity etc, but I think this album is one of the best. Not just the best from Cave and the Bad Seeds but the best ever. "Oh My Lord", Hallelujah", "We Came Along This Road", "The Sorrowful Wife" and the title track stand out in particular. I can never get enough of this album.

[@dezerterone]

This is sick-fascinating magic.

[@SociallyRejected]

All those lucky bastards in the audience got to see my favourite Cave song performed live. JEALOUS! The time I noticed his tickets this year, they were all sold out. I was more than gutted.

[@paolosantamarianova7781]

I scream, "The plot, the plot!"

[@ClammyClammy-bf3mz]

Fuckin' epic, I'll take this over some auto tuned drivel any day. His vocals are something special. Love me some Bad Seeds!

[@lilys3534]

this is the best ncatbs song. genious.

[@MUsicplusSExisMUSE]

it is hard holding your breath for 8 minutes.... but this is what happens

[@Carlossardina]

Absolutely!

[@pirjopauli]

Fantastic!!!

[@KingInk91]

So increasingly intense... wow!

[@enzogalli5506]

Nick IMMENSO.....CAPOLAVORO!!!

[@syrencat007]

Beautifull....

[@AriarateVI]

a summum of poetry

[@langstongrandma]

AND Warren Ellis to boot! Perfection.

[@sleazer1992]

Blixa And Warren are amazing!

[@tinamichael9746]

Still amazing.

[@dewocan35]

great song!!

[@elfdalmatae]

"... kept saying that I was not... " Uff! Brr... he is really something.

[@RonnyOugendalVucetic]

This must be one of the sadest songs in the world, but Nick makes it a beautiful experience.. Wonderful performance, sends shivers down my spine

[@joesimpson1152]

God this song sends me into a frenetic thrashing of my deepest emotions... Too bad the crowd sucks.

[@sartanko]

Crowds of Nick Cave gigs often see pretty quiet, probably just caught up in the performance and just listening and admiring it all

[@hdub16bq]

When my wife (bless her heart and soul) left me, I played this song to smithereens. There can be so much comfort in music!

[@61kingali]

uuffffff indeed!

[@tudosz]

Live at Le Transbordeur? It's a part of God Is In The House DVD, isn't it?

[@elizabethpinkerton9866]

yes.

[@albertomanuel2691]

excelente!!! Lovelly!!!

[@McPhist0]

The tension in this song builds up like an orgasm...:) Way to go, Nick!

[@Beevenhouse]

Panagiotis Papotis If you haven't already, you need to listen to Loverman (the original Nick Cave version, not the Metallica one). You're welcome ;)

[@bobiriva6699]

devil + god = Nick Cave

[@seelenwinter6662]

"Oh My Lord" I thought I'd take a walk today It's a mistake I sometimes make My children lay asleep in bed My wife lay wide-awake I kissed her softly on the brow I tried not to make a sound But with stony eyes she looked at me And gently squeezed my hand Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision Call it intuition, something learned from mother But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her Oh Lord Oh my Lord Oh Lord How have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms around me Oh Lord Oh Lord Oh My Lord They called at me through the fence They were not making any sense They claimed that I had lost the plot Kept saying that I was not The man I used to be They held their babes aloft Threw marsh mellows at the Security And said that I'd grown soft Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion, But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me For even I could see in the way they stared at me The Spear of Destiny sticking right through me Oh Lord Oh my lord Oh Lord How have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms round me Oh Lord Oh lord Oh My Lord Now I'm at the hairdressers People watch me as they move past A guy wearing plastic antlers Presses his bum against the glass Now I'm down on my hands and knees And it's so fucking hot! Someone cries, "What are you looking for?" I scream, "The plot, the plot!" I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say, "Hey, it's only me" The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror I look back and shiver; I can't even believe what I can see Be mindful of the prayers you send Pray hard but pray with care For the tears that you are crying now Are just your answered prayers The ladders of life that we scale merrily Move mysteriously around So that when you think you're climbing up, man In fact you're climbing down Into the hollows of glamour, where with spikes and hammer With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw Oh I hate them, Ma! Oh I hate them, Pa! Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you Oh Lord Oh my Lord Oh Lord How have I offended thee? Wrap your tender arms round me Oh Lord Oh Lord Oh My Lord

[@anitagrey7356]

Oh yessss this is totally uufffff !!!!!

[@FabioDebbi]

stupendo!

[@marekdostal3854]

0:48 another, younger, nick cave on the right side :)

[@shelbyloveforever]

@mustaine89 I finally saw him for the first time last year with Grinderman. It was breathtaking.

[@konradhino]

geniusz !!

[@trollfinger]

Sounds like the later version of the mercy seat, well the piano does. Great though.

[@efisiopitzalis5975]

troppo bravo

[@roquenroull]

why is Joaqin Phoenix on violin?

[@David-yn7wh]

On the money

[@zhepack]

This is a great thriller movie merged in music

[@somarellovolante3615]

0.49 on the right of the screen there younger nick cave )

[@TheFunkloft]

@labowu Yes, my friend, but more due to David Eugene Edwards & his former band 16 Horsepower. Don't get me wrong, I like Cave as well, but not particulary fond of his voice, that's all :)

[@harapos]

Hola. ¿Alguien sabe dónde y cuándo ffue este concierto?

[@nicolassiraut4318]

Astonishing! 100% cathartic...

[@jwbeumer]

O my Lord.... amazing!!!!

[@ggxp9]

What venue is this? fuckin amazing song and preformance

[@tvdrpr]

It really is... I bought it on a whim and was forever after a Nick Cave fan.

[@sdp026]

Lots of people misinterpret the religious imagery in Nick's material. This song is a clever play on words - he's saying "oh my lord" in exasperation, but on the surface it sounds like a straight religious song. This LP was Nick's last really amazing album with the Bad Seeds... at least so far.

[@carlosbestit1784]

Beast!!! Fantastic!!

[@1apart1]

Haha well said man! Grabbed by the Balls indeed!

[@simonekusters6471]

deze kende ik niet, staat het op een cd??

[@Fafarafix]

ten Skurczybyk jest niesamowity

[@edwinland2]

ferocious, indeed!

[@buckleygeneration]

Yup.

[@KevinAshtonZA]

Which concert is this from?

[@McPhist0]

I think that one is in Paris..

[@jamieholmes5443]

Saw him live a couple a weeks ago. He was great as always. Some one gave him a carrot... Yerh, he was not to cray about that man..

[@langstongrandma]

Oh, God.

[@aphonemic]

This looks like a London show that I may have attended with Jim White & Warren Ellis. What's it taken from?

[@JmQuintelaBlanco]

hello... "Live in Paris .." ok...

[@paullenarts4925]

non, c'est Lyon

[@infilexiblesteelhand1226]

poff

[@franckgerard1150]

[@Groth1175]

Relax, the hipster thing is just another fad it will die off like so many others before it. Good point though!

[@SociallyRejected]

Ignore that comment. Managed to get tickets to see this legend in November :)

[@markobegus]

got my ticket today...can't wait!

[@inpainwetrust]

Epic lyrics. Kinda feel the Singer.he's awful but I still love. Good any drunk Singer can take this song. Thats great.

[@ntzounis]

well danzig had done thirteen before giving it to cash...so maybe i give you a hint too... "a lie for a lie and a truth for a truth"...cave 's been there as well

[@anjunakrokus]

nick cave.... so. the. best. artist. eva!!! as said by psike5000 weirdly no more shall we part is on the list of the so called "best albums" some people created (dutch music magizine: heaven).

[@Jnth007]

True That!

[@JasonRainbows]

I like to think of Nick Cave as "The Thinking Man's Jim Morrison".

[@EuchridEucrow1]

That staccato bit at the end is great! Now I'm going to have to re-listen to the studio version to see if it's there. For some reason I don't remember it.

[@liewehexi595]

If you relate strongly to this song then no doctor can can save you. See you in Bedlam.

[@XxIgorxX]

@MrExorcist7 Cause God freakin' rules!

[@72redblood]

Warren Ellis the best

[@StJust]

What the hell is Joaquin Phoenix doing on stage

[@B3nnub1rd]

HEAVY Me likes! :)
