Shattered Ground - Nick Cave & Warren Ellis UK Tour 4th Sep 2021 Croydon

"Shattered Ground" - Carnage
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
Concert Nick Cave & Warren Ellis UK Tour 2021
4th September, Fairfield Concert Hall, Croydon (UK)
Lyrics:
The moon in the night sky, with pale eyes
And pale skin and long hair covering her naked body
And sometimes she’s laughing and sometimes she’s crying
And sometimes the moon is talking to nobody
And there’s a madness in her and a madness in me
And together it forms a kind of sanity
(Oh baby don’t leave me)
We drove through the hills with the moon in our eyes
We bought a house in the country
Where we could lose our minds
The moon is a girl with tears in her eyes
Who is throwing her bags in the back of the car
(I am not even remotely surprised)
And waving goodbye, she is waving goodbye
The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Oh yeah
Everywhere you are I am
And everywhere you are I will hold your hand again
Only you are beautiful, only you are true
I don’t care what they are saying
They can scream their fucking faces blue again
I will be all alone when you are gone
All alone when you are gone
And I will not make a single sound
Not make a single sound
Not make a single sound
But come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down
Come softly crashing down
My pieces scattered all around
Scattered around
Scattered around
Toppled on the shattered ground
On the shattered ground
And you’re waving goodbye
She is waving goodbye
The moon is a girl with the sun in her eyes
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh baby
Oh baby
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Oh baby
Goodbye

Really love this partnership between Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. And Nick's cool jacket. And Warren's beard. Song is pretty touching too.

[@raquelagra4772]

So true, this partnership is pure gold

[@matthewbecker7389]

On my first of many listens to the Carnage album, this song immediately burnt a permanent and beautiful scar onto my brain. Been waiting for the chance to see a live performance. Thankyou!

[@raquelagra4772]

He gave it all in this performance... Incredible moment

[@miguelgutierrez2324]

I'm in tears now.... State of the art...

Amazing @ Bradford last night. Got my sister a ticket for her 50th, she went in a "yeah the odd song" person .. came out.. Why have i not seen these "genius bas$ar#s" before.. amazing gig

Indeed... Lucky girls 🍀💚

[@alejandrovisconti2176]

Just beautiful…..

[@raquelagra4772]

Such a beautiful concert, I"m speechless...

[@oldTVELektron]

Such an ethereal tune-song! It reaches you in and stretches you out; at least, it has done this to me... Thank you, taper-uploader for sharing this gem with us...

[@raquelagra4772]

Such an ethereal yet powerful concert it was!

[@barryedwards2087]

Thank you Barry, hope you've liked the show so much as I did it

[@thisismyvoiceontv]

Just got back from tonight's incredible performance in Ipswich, thanks for sharing this, one of my favourites from the set

[@raquelagra4772]

Glad for you 🍀

[@bernhardsart]

Beeautiful!!!! Thank You!!!

[@raquelagra4772]

My pleasure

[@drone2778]

Chills. Brilliant.

Thank you for uploading this (for someone who lives in a place where these gigs would be seen as a needless extravagance... but who misses them nonetheless)

[@raquelagra4772]

My pleasure., nothing replaces the emotion of a live concert.

I shall have to wait until I am back in Europe... so much catching up to do on that front. Be well

[@veganita]

Thanks for sharing!

[@raquelagra4772]

An incredible concert, happy to share it!

[@rebeccaselley]

Thanks for uploading ☮️

[@raquelagra4772]

Happy to share it!

[@sammydontheones]

This should have thousands of more views. Atleast 4,000 of them are from me. F!#@ this is brilliant.

[@raquelagra4772]

This was a breathtaking moment.... 😍

[@miketrg]

Outstanding.

[@karenmulhearn9437]

Can't wait for this Saturday's gig at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

[@joakimandersson7595]

This is just amazing!!!

[@raquelagra4772]

A magnificent concert

[@Staggercfc]

Nick goes to play more piano at the very end but withdraws while looking in Warren's direction. I wonder if a signal from Warren to Nick not to add more piano? Those two are telepathic.

[@raquelagra4772]

Carnage is a good measure of how much telephatic those 2 are

[@johnarundell7951]

No chance, Nick calls the shots. He might have picked up on Warren's vibe but no one ever tells Nick what to do on stage under any circumstances - not even Warren.

[@Staggercfc]

@@johnarundell7951 Disagree about the power-mad Nick bit.

[@leonardsimonis2376]

Nick stated this himself, that he and Warren are telepathically connected.

[@stephencarford3666]

Rhetorical question. Coolest person on Earth...Warren Ellis or Nick Cave? I was lucky enough to see this tour...it broke me!

[@AMRMI]

🥰

[@mrsmokeybear]

Someone needs to film Balcony Man

[@RonanAnjos]

Potente e surreal, Nicolau Caverna segue acompanhando a lógica do vinho.

[@raquelagra4772]

Do vinho do Porto... Quanto mais velho melhor

[@brendantannam499]

How are the songs from Ghosteen and Carnage being received? Is the set completely based on these two albums or does he include the old standards?

[@raquelagra4772]

The first part of the concert was totally Ghosteen and Carnage, the second half you've had some classics from the Tender Pray and others... Into my Arms in a speechless version... You have it all

[@brendantannam499]

@@raquelagra4772 That's great to hear!

[@angularmotion1]

Vamos lá ver se apanho isto para o ano que vem em Portugal.

[@raquelagra4772]

Altamente recomendável 💜

[@voystellar]

Too bad, not all of us were welcome to enjoy the show.

[@raquelagra4772]

Sorry to hear that
