This man has lost two children and managed to continue on with grace and eloquence. I'll never know how many people he's helped survive unbearable grief, but I know that he deserves all the recognition in the world for how much he has done.
Sam, I love Nick, seen live a few times but both kids died due to drugs. I knew one but when I found out the second you have nobody to blame but the parents. Our "heros" are not usually good people in real life.
@@cj3126 I certainly can't disagree with you about our heroes being shitty people more often than not, but I don't jive with your reasoning here. I've grown up in a family rife with mental illness and addiction. Every branch of our tree has carried on the legacy. There were all kinds of different parenting styles and levels of dedication to therapy or what have you but, at the end of the day, the majority of us ended up with some degree of psychological issues. I don't know Nick Cave's family history, but I do know he's an addict - a lot of the time that's all that it takes for it to bleed into the children. I'm sure there's a lot that he could've done better, but it seems unnecessarily cruel to imply that his children died because he was a bad parent. There's so much more to it than that
This is the most perfect love song ever written. It covers all love, romantic, familial, mother and child, father and child, pets… love is beautiful. But it’s also riddled with pain and fear and guilt and desperation. It’s what makes a soul alive. This song is all that.
After 20 years of fight against disability, my lovely son left us alone, far from our arms. Leaving us with our tears and beautiful souvenirs, like this song, remembering us the moments time gave us with him.
As you can tell by my name I'm terminally ill. Had a stroke at 33 and upon a scan at hospital they found a huge inoperable brain tumour. This will be played at my burning I hope! The most beautiful, heartfelt, poetic and real track to me. Thankyou Mr Cave for all you have given us ❤
@@okakosouoflaros Sorry, can you repost the link please it isn't working for me. It's a personal preference. Like I'm not a fan of Justin Beiber or a lot of current charting music. It's a personal choice that sings to me. The fact he wrote it in a quaint old English church, in the depths of winter during a snow storm has no bearing to me. My own interpretation and feelings can transcend Mr Caves own meaning. Maybe it's why so many people appreciate it?
I hope you get to live for a decent while longer to get to do all the things you want and say your goodbyes to everyone you need to. This is a beautiful song for a funeral and I hope it's a mostly joyous occasion with people celebrating your life. People never really die, their physical bodies just aren't with us any more. May your memory live on. Peace.
@@youcomebeforeyou I'm not religious but.. Bless you for such wonderful sentiments! I hope it too, but I'm not going to complain if it doesn't. Life is too short to get hung up on little things as you mainly remember the good times. Everyone have a great day and thanks @ THEY FLEE
My little sister was cremated yesterday. She was diagnosed with cancer and passed away within a short 5 weeks. This song was chosen for her funeral by our brother who thought the words fit the occasion perfectly. Rest In Peace Theresa...you will be loved forever 🙏
At almost 70 years old I just discovered Nick Cave a year ago. I wish I had known about him sooner. His voice burrows deep into my soul, if I have a soul. Not sure about that. Let's say his music affects me deeply.
My hubby and I discovered nick cave about 12 years ago, I think we wouldn't have been ready for him any younger lol. But we absolutely love love LOVE him now. Have you listened to Breathless? It's our newly discovered song of his and it's sooooo beautiful 😂
Whenever I feel like I'm losing touch with my ability to feel, I play this one. ua-cam.com/video/JEKBrfTqNQ4/v-deo.html The first half is a metaphorical masterpiece. The second half conjures pure loss and makes me realize that no matter what we do the end is the same. It's a reminder (to me) that we should be as good to each other as we can. "My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! ....." First time I heard that live I (and many others in the audience) were weeping openly.
[LYRICS] I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Oh, not to touch a hair on your head Leave you as you are If he felt he had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you Both to each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms But I believe in Love And I know that you do, too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning Make her journey bright and pure That she'll keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms
@@gazzas123 one theory is that if he's not invited by you specifically in your heart then he will leave you alone.....perhaps millions and millions of people have left God out of their lives? A thought
I'm fourteen years old. My father is my best friend, as we drive we listen to his favourite music, which is also my favourite.... this song makes me think of him. **I am now 17, just shy of 18! Sometimes I am a very melodramatic teenage girl (apologies!), he still loves me all the same and every single day I hope to be as intelligent and wonderful as he is. I hope we never stop listening to this song.
I lost my brother due to suicide 4 months ago. I’m working in our family caffe every day instead of him, and this songs comes on a lot. In those moments I feel like he’s giving me a hug. I miss him so much, words cannot describe it.
I just don't know what to say. I can't even imagine what that is like. I never known my mother as she died when i was 3yo. The only thinhg I can tell you is to keep on loving your life, even in the worst moments becauese it always turn into better times, even when everithing is black. I'm sending you a hige hugh!
I lost my dog Toodles. I know you may think it is just a dog. However he was my world, my best bud, my emotional support dog, and my rescue baby. I did CPR on him at 2 a.m. our regular vet was closed. We drove an hour away to emergency clinic doing CPR. He came back 3 times....I tried to save him. Vet said maybe he may make it but critical. He had a heart murmur . What we did not know, until the next day, is that a palpitation caused a rupture and part of his heart had collapsed. He was put in an oxygen tank. He died the next morning. I fell to the floor. I am beyond devastated. Traumatized. I loved him so very much. I hope to see him at the Rainbow Bridge one day. Until then I can not. I just can't. I am beyond sad. Emptiness in my heart aches. I miss you Toodles so much. Forever.
RIP Toodles❤ he's flying high now. I'm sure you gave him a wonderful life. I also have a dog that I adore and I dread the day I lose him. prayers for you to feel better soon 🙏🏻💐
my 2.10 year old french bulldog died 3 days ago. same thing our go to vet was closed. he was not eating and the clinic we went to did not examine him well and told me he was just fine. We went home comforted by the "expert advice" of the vet only to find my frenchie lifeless in our kitchen after couple of hours. It's totally devastating. My other dog also a frenchie is as shocked as me and keeps looking for her best friend and companion 😭💔
Lost my mother on Saturday. She was 90 years, that many years doesn't take away the hurt of losing her any easier. I wish she was back in my arms again.
Nick Cave on the death in 2015 of his teenage son Arthur: "Arthur’s death literally changed everything for me. Absolutely everything. It made me a religious person. I am not talking about being a traditional Christian. I am not even talking about a belief in God, necessarily. It made me a religious person in the sense that I felt, on a profound level, a deep inclusion in the human predicament, and an understanding of our vulnerability and the sense that, as individuals, we are, each of us, imperilled. Each life is precarious, and some of us understand it and some don’t. I became a person after my son died. The world seemed to vibrate with a peculiar, spiritual energy. I was genuinely surprised by how susceptible I became to a kind of magical thinking. How readily I dispensed with that wholly rational part of my mind and how comforting it was to do so. Now, that may well be a strategy for survival and, as such, a part of the ordinary mechanics of grief, but it is something that persists to this day. Perhaps it is a kind of delusion, I don’t know, but if it is, it is a necessary and benevolent one. Things happen in your life, terrible things, great obliterating events, where the need for spiritual consolation can be immense, and your sense of what is rational is less coherent and can suddenly find itself on very shaky ground. I think of late I’ve grown increasingly impatient with my own skepticism; it feels obtuse and counter-productive, something that’s simply standing in the way of a better-lived life. I love this world - with all its joys and its vast goodness, its civility and complete and utter lack of it, its brilliance and its absurdity. I love it all, and the people in it, all of them. I feel nothing but deep gratitude to be a part of this whole cosmic mess. I don’t know how to exactly say this, and please don’t misunderstand it, but since Arthur died I have been able to step beyond the full force of the grief and experience a kind of joy that is entirely new to me. It was as if grief enlarged my heart in some way. I have experienced periods of happiness more than I have ever felt before, even though it was the most devastating thing ever to happen to me. This is Arthur’s gift to me, one of the many. It is his munificence that’s made me a different person. I say all this with huge caution and a million caveats, but I also say it because there are those who think there is no way back from the catastrophic event. That they will never laugh again. But there is, and they will."
The death of my son in my arms, watching him taking his last breaths had the opposite effect, at that very moment when my son was dying I new for a fact there was no god, and even now I know definitely there is no god only darkness.
@@preguntapregunta3923: I believe God gives us free will on earth and does not intervene. That said, I also believe God will provide comfort to those who ask for it. I am very sorry for the loss of your son. Hoping you find peace.
It's not simple for me put in words how Nick makes me feel with his letters, his writting, his songs. His spirit is immeasurable, it seems like he came from another universe to show us love, spread it, make it art. His art is so soul touching, I can't thank enough for that.
Nick Cave performing Shane McGowan's "Rainy night in Soho" at Shane's funeral in Dublin is a must see/listen. So much passion. A tremendous tribute to his Dear friend.
I lost my beloved mum and sister within six weeks of each other. It has been the bleakest, most harrowing summer, but, listening to this piece of music has given comfort. Thank you Nick
I've lost quite a few people in my life, the most recent being my best friend of 23 years. She found out she had cancer on March 10th and died March 20th 2021. My mom died when I was 17. She died on her birthday, January 20th, back in 1999. I could not imagine going through that hell back to back like that. I'm very sorry for your loss and I wish you happier days ahead.
Tomorrow I am going to see and listen to Nick for the first time live. I just know I will bawl my eyes out… In last few months I almost lost my youngest sister to pancreatic cancer and my mother-in-law to a brain tumor. They are both alive and I can still have them in my arms.
There are no words. I lost my son 11 years ago. I didn't start healing until a lady told me "You will NEVER get over it you learn to live with it." I "feel" you❤
I loved the comment section of this video, is so rich of empathy and love, and it's just amazing ...usually is the opposite. Incredible how the music brings people together. (sorry for my bad English. I just wanted to share this feeling)
Oh......dear God. Get the tissue box ready for this! TRULY an incredible artistic performance. What a hero. What a singer. What an ARTIST! thank you divine Nick Cave
Sitting here All alone, listening to him and feeling lonely is hard...but reading all the comments about loosing someone Made me feel less lonely...thx nick and thx too all the other comments for sharing their hard moments..
Hello thanks for your comments and support,your comment and constant support has brought me this far keep supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail via nickcave2434@gmail.com
My ex fiancé dedicated this song to me. It makes me long for him in ways I can’t explain. Although we did love each other very deeply, I had my issues with mental health and he had his issues with drugs and alcohol. He could also be very cruel to me, that it crushed my self esteem. So I fled, and it was the hardest decision of my life. I know that we will never ever be together again, and it’s for the best. Its been 4 years, and sometimes I come here, and listen to this, and wish I was back in that brief moment in time when we were in each other’s arms.
I did not know much about Nick Cave, but when I heard he sang this song personally at the funeral of Michael Hutchence of INXS , I was curious to hear it. One of the crazy things about that funeral is that it was televised live on Australian television. Like the true gentleman that Nick Cave must be he asked that the cameras be turned off when he sang this song his family and friends. That's a class act all the way. Bravo, and what a beautiful song it is indeed
Man.. today is a day. I'm a little bit alone and a little bit drunk. I'm listening to you. And this strange feeling inside me.. I've missed something in my life. And this is perfect background for thinking. Thank You Nick.
What an amazing piece of poetry and songwriting. Can be taken as a song of heartfelt joy and love or the deepest of loss, sorrow and love. Perhaps it's a true love song- for with love, eventually comes great loss. Nick Cave deserves far more credit for this song.
Got here because of After Life. Husband passed Aug. 2020 after 16 month battle with cancer. Shortly after his death watched the show heard this song. Wow what a comfort I found !! 💗
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart
@@skipads5141how is it attention seeking if they express themselves and move on? To complete strangers and just keep pushing. Sheesh, just like there's good there's bad.
I played this at my sons funeral a few weeks ago. For me it was the perfect song ❤️ My wife walked down the aisle to this nearly 19 years ago. Somehow we’re still together.
I know it's been three years now, but I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I'm sure you think about him and miss him every single day. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and I walked down to this gorgeous song as well.
Your music is a language of heart and soul and life and spirit. It connects all of us, allowing us to share our grief and our joy of having lived and loved. Thank you Nick.
Sitting here in isolation due to M.E/CFS. I am deeply moved by the humanity in the comments section here. If this song can inspire this kind of authentic tender connection between us, it is a prayer. A prayer to love. Thankyou every person who continues to love. To be vulnerable. To break open. It's made my night ♥️♥️
Hey Lynley, I had M.E and I am completely over it. Keep doing what's good for your body and mind. Eat healthily and excercise carefully bit by bit until it passes, or the stress passes that is causing it ❤
Thankyou Sassy Sax. 🙏🏾 So glad for you that freedom has arrived. M.E is a complex syndrome but I can't go wrong with nourishing food and gentle movement. Lovely to connect and run up a hill for me! 😁
Thankyou so much Sue. Your mom's hug is so welcome. And a big one for your brave amazing daughter. See, we are in each other's arms, just as Nick Cave suggested! Take gentle care ♥️♥️
I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Oh, not to touch a hair on your head Leave you as you are If he felt he had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you Both to each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms But I believe in Love And I know that you do, too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning Make her journey bright and pure That she'll keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms
I've never been a fan of Nick Cave, but happened across this song. God, what an incredibly emotional composition! I have a new-found respect for Mr Cave.
It is just brilliant, isn't it Tim. Hell (poor choice of words) he can create an atmosphere. I was listening to the dark and scary Red Right Hand, and automatically Wild Rose came on and then this...what a talent.Suffice it to say he doesn't need to know more about darkness, but I am so sad for what he must be enduring over the death of his young son.
I've Lost my father on 2013. I think of him each time i listen to this song. Our relationship had his issues but i miss him deeply and i cry a lot when i think of how much he suffered. Miss you dad!
Thanks for the support, it’s my utmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I wouldn’t be here if not you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs?😊
When my ex and I split up she took my daughter away as punishment. I spent months wishing I could speak to her, or hear her voice. I was around my daughter every single day, she was my entire world up until that point. When I would get home from work I would hear her scream out ‘DADDY DADDY DADDY!’ and I went months without hearing a sound she made except the videos on my phone. It was hard. Nothing came close to touching how I felt, and every moment that I spent worrying about her. This song made me feel like there is love out there that compares, as well as the pain that can come with it. I finally made it to a courthouse and got my daughter back. This is her song for the rest of my life. Thank you for getting me through this.
Fuck me. Here I sit listening to Nick, my mind a mix of scattered thoughts, feeling sorry for myself once again. Telling myself the world is not fair, I didn’t put my hand up and choose the illness that I have. Your words have motivated me to stop being a selfish fuck, there are people everywhere fighting and at times winning their battle.
This was my wedding bridal song 15 years ago - still makes me emotional. Most beautiful loving haunting song I’ve heard. My husband and I still dance together (no matter where we are) when this song comes on. Just love it ❤️
Here on 30th December 2024 - 9th anniversary of my little girl's passing. It hurts to listen but this man knows where I am now and this song shows that.
Broken hearts go hand-in-hand with beautiful songs, and this one is no exception. This achingly beautiful song is how many of us feel at the end of a relationship, and I guess Nick and PJ also experienced it. Sad, nostalgic, hurt and full of the, "if only's".
I sent the link to the song to a beautiful young lady who filled my heart with so much happiness for the brief moment we knew each other. I met Maral when I was working on Nauru. She is an asylum seeker and the rotten Australian g'ment has them locked up with no immediate future. I grieve for them all.
George Goring How often have the actions of others thwarted affection becoming true love. I feel happy that you had that brief moment. Maybe you'll find each other again. PS: Thanks for sharing your story, George.

Lost my best friend of 40 years who walked through the journey of life with me and all the ups and downs that come with it. I am with you all tonight who ever you are, wherever you are.xxx
The pain and emotion in this song may very well be related to the tragic deaths of his two sons. One, a tragic accident when very young and the other due to drug addiction.
Used this song on my mom's funeral. reflects a lot of her, miss her so much, she was a really great person and died on a very young age, she was the most healthy person U knew, still had cancer at the age of 58 and died soon after... miss you mom.. wish I could hug you once more..
+Edouard verbeke Don`t worry she knows that, and you will meet her in the end. you have a life to fulfill and do it right with open heart. that`s the right way.
i lost my mom one year ago, cancer, this song was also at the funeral. she was 58 to.... and yeah i know how you feel.... really wanna give her a hug once more. stay strong!
Hello. How are you doing Barbara. So sorry about your lost my condolences if you don’t mind me asking. Where are Ron from I would love to friends with you ?

I finished listening to this song and it made me cry, this man sings with his soul, he is full of love, of something magical. In concert it is majestic. Beauty of music! 🎵
Love changed me once. I thought at the time that it bruised me only much later on to realise that it was me hurting myself. It took me years to understand what loving truly means. Love does not require happy ending. It just needs to be. Love is a value on it's own. It pained me for years until I learned to appreciate love itself without attaching it to the need to physically be close to the loved one. That's an eternal love. I wish everyone who misses someone would live to recognise the beauty of accepting it this way. Love does not disappear, does not leave or stop existing. It's always there, once we let ourselves be vulnerable enough to accept it, blessing us for an eternity.
Beautifully put, if i could add to this it would be that a couple of my friends have used beautiful and poigniant songs or soundtracks that were perfect for the service. However the same pieces, that were so special and already had many memories attached to them were taken over by this one final memory. with one to the point where they couldn`t bare to listen to it any longer. Such was the power of both song and memory. I guess the point of this response is to try and think of music used before the finality of such a situation. This is ok in an ideal world however perhaps we could discuss this with family and friends before. A very delicate subject. Clifford
So succinctly and truly expressed. I was smitten some years ago and through a variety of circumstances never got past the initial attraction, or in my case, infatuation with the person of my desires. I maintained the relationship, through small gifts and shows of affection and offers of support, and, over time, realized that I had come to truly love that person. Due to our many varied differences or affections will never blossom into the fairy tale ending. It doesn't have to. I'm so happy for the love that I've found and the nourishment that it has provided my soul. I love you, Honey Bunch.
So sorry for you. Played it at my daughter's funeral two years ago. Last year I went to get a tattoo in memory of her. As the tattooist picked up the needle the song came on the parlour's sound system. It was as if she was approving the tattoo.
I lost the love of my life in December. This song was playing as we walked into his service. I've always loved this song, but i now will have it etched in my memory as i said goodbye to a huge part of my heart forever.
I’ve been crying like some of the people in this video the last few days while going through what will be my last alcohol withdrawal. Thank you for such a beautiful song🙏
Wishing you the best in the future. I've lost a lot of family to that fight, and I've also seen a lot of them come out the other side of it better than they've ever been. I don't know you, but I'm sending you my best for whatever that's worth
@@dazzlinggems; keep it up, one day at a time; if I may share something that I know that you've not requested, is that I've learned that proactively working on one's emotional education may help you live a better sober life (while I haven't faced the same struggle, other men from different generations in my family have and I wish they would have learned, recognized and taken care of their emotions... that would have made life easier for everybody). Stay safe, you've got this, you're stronger than addictions. Much respect to you and others who've dared to overcome such challenge.
@@malandro2023thank you! Yes for me my biggest challenges were choosing to drink instead of facing life’s moments of discomfort, boredom and wanting to reward myself for working hard. I basically had to flip the script and sit in the discomfort for awhile, without alcohol, and naturally my body/mind began to search for positive activities instead. I’ve been clean almost 8 months now. But I thank you for your kind words. And you’re right I had to face a lot of emotions and be willing to work with them and not avoid. 🙏😎
My best friend died of brain cancer when we were 15. whenever i listen to this song I wish I could hold her into my arms... i mean i wanna hold her almosy everyday but when this song comes I just miss her instant warmth. She was nothing but a pure angel, I hope I see her on the other side.
@@helenamagero2314 thank you so much for your kindest words. I believe that one's life would really be of a worth if atleast someone had him in his heart till the end. Even if they forget about you on some days, you know you'll be right there, in the place where they think they forgot about something but can't remember what it was. I suggest you to read Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare too! The meaning behind it, how he made the lover live forever through the words in his poem.. It's a masterpiece. Again, thank you your kindness made me smile :)
@@helenamagero2314 we all live under one sky. We all share the same spectrum of feelings, when you can't feel joy yet you know someone else does, know that your turn is coming. Wish them to have a blast, just like what you are doing rn. Seeing others' joy will give you a glimpse of how it should feel like, so you're ready for it when it happens to you. We all lose ourselves at some point, we all feel lost and unable to be found, but what really makes me get by is knowing that someone somewhere out there is feeling just the same. That he will make it out of this blurriness , and hence I will too. Thank you for reminding me that💙
I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms But I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
I love that the kept the absolute purity of Nick's vocal. The slight lisp on the "S" of arms... something about it adds to the humility and honesty of his emotions.
There has been days when I had no food to eat, there has been weeks where I had no electricity at all, there has been years of loneliness and no one to call but all of it makes sense when I hear this song
There is someone to call if not family, friend then a stranger on a phone line..if you don't speak up no one can listen..I'm hoping you are in a better place now
For me the song was and is not a sad song. Our little baby is now over 5 month old and it was the song I played to him through his Mom's belly. He always reacted on this song, as he did to some music from Leonard Cohen. I just wanted that he would be soon directed into our arms so that we could hug him. Love you little Joseph :))
+orionschwert Brilliant parenting right there, exposing them to good music from the start! Throw in some Tom Waits into the mix and your little one will go far :)
+orionschwert Great attitude, good job :) Love to you, your family and to little Joseph !!! He is lucky to have parents with good musical taste - he will learn so much about music form you, fo sure
Never has a song moved me so much that no matter what mood I am or happy I am as soon as I hear it I break down in tears. SO beautiful and melancholy all at the same time. Pure joy and celebration and absolute desolation and emptiness all at the same time. An absolutely remarkable feat in a song! I break down in tears whenever I hear this song. Much love for it
I listened to this song after reading “carry on“ and I've been listening to it every day a couple of times ever since. Can't stop myself from crying. This now is one of my favourite songs. And it is easily one of the greatest songs ever!
My father passed away almost 3 years ago and every single time I listen to this song I can’t contain my tears thinking about him. If I could go back in time I would hold him tight in my arms again. I’d give anything to see him one more time. 🖤
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people.

@@elizabethwallace-donnelly.2356 thank you for your kind words. I wish that she could come back to see how brave of a young woman our daughter had grown up to be. I wish that my adorable daughter could have known how wonderful of a person her mother was, death takes a huge toll on you and you mostly never get over.
@@AndyArnold-uz5yo If only the vast fortune some states spend on instruments of death, were re-directed into defeating this most horrific enemy of all of us! (in light of 'money creation' reality, relying on charity, to boost sums - whilst itself very admirable - is at the same time utterly obscene).
The most beautiful song ever , have so my emotions, listening and digesting the lyrics. Breathes deep into my soul and I struggle with expression and openness, this song really helps me. Truly love it ♥️
This song just moves me to tears every time I listen to it. Nick's lyrics connects us to love irrespective of whether we believe in God or angels. To recognise that both aspects can be contained and represented in human love and relationships, opens us up to deeper spiritual love. Such a love can connect us to higher dimensions of love.
This man has lost two children and managed to continue on with grace and eloquence. I'll never know how many people he's helped survive unbearable grief, but I know that he deserves all the recognition in the world for how much he has done.
True 👍 he stays true to himself
Sam, I love Nick, seen live a few times but both kids died due to drugs. I knew one but when I found out the second you have nobody to blame but the parents. Our "heros" are not usually good people in real life.
He must believe in God
@@cj3126 I certainly can't disagree with you about our heroes being shitty people more often than not, but I don't jive with your reasoning here.
I've grown up in a family rife with mental illness and addiction. Every branch of our tree has carried on the legacy. There were all kinds of different parenting styles and levels of dedication to therapy or what have you but, at the end of the day, the majority of us ended up with some degree of psychological issues. I don't know Nick Cave's family history, but I do know he's an addict - a lot of the time that's all that it takes for it to bleed into the children.
I'm sure there's a lot that he could've done better, but it seems unnecessarily cruel to imply that his children died because he was a bad parent. There's so much more to it than that
@@cj3126 You really can't blame the parents like that. Kids grow up and make their own decisions. They are not puppets.....
I’m glad I’ve been fortunate enough to live at the same time as Nick Cave.
Yes !
You chose to live at the same time as Nick Cave...
@@joshuaporterfield6774 I’m not so glad because Nick Cave supports the genocide happening in Palestine so he’s a vile human being
This is the most perfect love song ever written. It covers all love, romantic, familial, mother and child, father and child, pets… love is beautiful. But it’s also riddled with pain and fear and guilt and desperation. It’s what makes a soul alive. This song is all that.
❤❤
🤎💚💙
😢❤
I agree with you 100%.
It also has a hint of hope in it😊
For me it is also the most beautiful love song ever written!
Great comment
Whatever emotions you're in, whatever phase in life you're currently through, this song will find its way into your heart.
got the point
Nah
Awwwww that's so beautiful ❤
Most definitely. Whatever emotion. This song is beautiful, yet simple, yet so amazing. One of my favorites ever🙏🏻
Glad it found me today... Absolutly Amazing song...
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
YES!
After 20 years of fight against disability, my lovely son left us alone, far from our arms. Leaving us with our tears and beautiful souvenirs, like this song, remembering us the moments time gave us with him.
I am so sorry for your loss, but happy for you that you had such a beautiful son.
💔
Much love to all of you. So very sorry.
As you can tell by my name I'm terminally ill.
Had a stroke at 33 and upon a scan at hospital they found a huge inoperable brain tumour.
This will be played at my burning I hope!
The most beautiful, heartfelt, poetic and real track to me.
Thankyou Mr Cave for all you have given us ❤
@@okakosouoflaros Sorry, can you repost the link please it isn't working for me.
It's a personal preference.
Like I'm not a fan of Justin Beiber or a lot of current charting music.
It's a personal choice that sings to me.
The fact he wrote it in a quaint old English church, in the depths of winter during a snow storm has no bearing to me. My own interpretation and feelings can transcend Mr Caves own meaning.
Maybe it's why so many people appreciate it?
I hope you get to live for a decent while longer to get to do all the things you want and say your goodbyes to everyone you need to. This is a beautiful song for a funeral and I hope it's a mostly joyous occasion with people celebrating your life. People never really die, their physical bodies just aren't with us any more. May your memory live on. Peace.
@@youcomebeforeyou I'm not religious but.. Bless you for such wonderful sentiments!
I hope it too, but I'm not going to complain if it doesn't.
Life is too short to get hung up on little things as you mainly remember the good times.
Everyone have a great day and thanks @ THEY FLEE
It's gorgeous and a good choice.
It’s a beautiful song. Hope you’re not scared and you have peace. There is a heaven I’m sure of it❤️
My dad used to Play this for my mother when they were cooking together. I‘m so glad I had such loving parents growing up! This Song feels Like home
What a beautiful declaration of love. Hope we all feel that emotion at least once.
I agree with you! ❤❤❤
My little sister was cremated yesterday. She was diagnosed with cancer and passed away within a short 5 weeks.
This song was chosen for her funeral by our brother who thought the words fit the occasion perfectly.
Rest In Peace Theresa...you will be loved forever 🙏

Im sorry for your pain
Bless you Charley , it will always hurt but time will make it bearable xx may she rest in peace x
At almost 70 years old I just discovered Nick Cave a year ago. I wish I had known about him sooner. His voice burrows deep into my soul, if I have a soul. Not sure about that. Let's say his music affects me deeply.
My hubby and I discovered nick cave about 12 years ago, I think we wouldn't have been ready for him any younger lol. But we absolutely love love LOVE him now. Have you listened to Breathless? It's our newly discovered song of his and it's sooooo beautiful 😂
No I haven't. I will definitely look for it. Thanks!
i love you you definitely have a soul believe me. this touched me deeply
Yeah, if you are thinking that, you do have a soul
Whenever I feel like I'm losing touch with my ability to feel, I play this one.

The first half is a metaphorical masterpiece. The second half conjures pure loss and makes me realize that no matter what we do the end is the same. It's a reminder (to me) that we should be as good to each other as we can.
"My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! My baby is sick! ....."
First time I heard that live I (and many others in the audience) were weeping openly.
[LYRICS]
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Both to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in Love
And I know that you do, too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
God bless ❤
If God is all powerful and all loving why the suffering in the world?
@@gazzas123 one theory is that if he's not invited by you specifically in your heart then he will leave you alone.....perhaps millions and millions of people have left God out of their lives? A thought

I lost my brother due to suicide 4 months ago. I’m working in our family caffe every day instead of him, and this songs comes on a lot. In those moments I feel like he’s giving me a hug. I miss him so much, words cannot describe it.
I feel for you ❤❤🙏🙏
I'm so sorry for your tragic loss, Aurora ! May God have him in Heavens now.
Dear Aurora, I am sure that hug is for real. X
I just don't know what to say. I can't even imagine what that is like. I never known my mother as she died when i was 3yo.

Suicide took my daughter just 17 days ago
I feel your pain 💞loving hugs
I lost my dog Toodles. I know you may think it is just a dog. However he was my world, my best bud, my emotional support dog, and my rescue baby. I did CPR on him at 2 a.m. our regular vet was closed. We drove an hour away to emergency clinic doing CPR. He came back 3 times....I tried to save him. Vet said maybe he may make it but critical. He had a heart murmur . What we did not know, until the next day, is that a palpitation caused a rupture and part of his heart had collapsed. He was put in an oxygen tank. He died the next morning. I fell to the floor. I am beyond devastated. Traumatized. I loved him so very much. I hope to see him at the Rainbow Bridge one day. Until then I can not. I just can't. I am beyond sad. Emptiness in my heart aches. I miss you Toodles so much. Forever.
RIP Toodles❤ he's flying high now. I'm sure you gave him a wonderful life. I also have a dog that I adore and I dread the day I lose him. prayers for you to feel better soon 🙏🏻💐
@@Books-and-coffee0 thank you
I'm dreading loosing my beautiful companion. Sending you strength and prayers you can get through cxx
my 2.10 year old french bulldog died 3 days ago. same thing our go to vet was closed. he was not eating and the clinic we went to did not examine him well and told me he was just fine. We went home comforted by the "expert advice" of the vet only to find my frenchie lifeless in our kitchen after couple of hours. It's totally devastating. My other dog also a frenchie is as shocked as me and keeps looking for her best friend and companion 😭💔
@@turcal1106 I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how you feel.

Lost my mother on Saturday. She was 90 years, that many years doesn't take away the hurt of losing her any easier. I wish she was back in my arms again.
Healing vibes and love. No, it does not make pain any less to bear. May she Rip

Nick Cave on the death in 2015 of his teenage son Arthur:
"Arthur’s death literally changed everything for me. Absolutely everything. It made me a religious person. I am not talking about being a traditional Christian. I am not even talking about a belief in God, necessarily. It made me a religious person in the sense that I felt, on a profound level, a deep inclusion in the human predicament, and an understanding of our vulnerability and the sense that, as individuals, we are, each of us, imperilled. Each life is precarious, and some of us understand it and some don’t. I became a person after my son died.
The world seemed to vibrate with a peculiar, spiritual energy. I was genuinely surprised by how susceptible I became to a kind of magical thinking. How readily I dispensed with that wholly rational part of my mind and how comforting it was to do so. Now, that may well be a strategy for survival and, as such, a part of the ordinary mechanics of grief, but it is something that persists to this day. Perhaps it is a kind of delusion, I don’t know, but if it is, it is a necessary and benevolent one.
Things happen in your life, terrible things, great obliterating events, where the need for spiritual consolation can be immense, and your sense of what is rational is less coherent and can suddenly find itself on very shaky ground. I think of late I’ve grown increasingly impatient with my own skepticism; it feels obtuse and counter-productive, something that’s simply standing in the way of a better-lived life. I love this world - with all its joys and its vast goodness, its civility and complete and utter lack of it, its brilliance and its absurdity. I love it all, and the people in it, all of them. I feel nothing but deep gratitude to be a part of this whole cosmic mess.
I don’t know how to exactly say this, and please don’t misunderstand it, but since Arthur died I have been able to step beyond the full force of the grief and experience a kind of joy that is entirely new to me. It was as if grief enlarged my heart in some way. I have experienced periods of happiness more than I have ever felt before, even though it was the most devastating thing ever to happen to me.
This is Arthur’s gift to me, one of the many. It is his munificence that’s made me a different person. I say all this with huge caution and a million caveats, but I also say it because there are those who think there is no way back from the catastrophic event. That they will never laugh again. But there is, and they will."
The death of my son in my arms, watching him taking his last breaths had the opposite effect, at that very moment when my son was dying I new for a fact there was no god, and even now I know definitely there is no god only darkness.
@@preguntapregunta3923: I believe God gives us free will on earth and does not intervene. That said, I also believe God will provide comfort to those who ask for it. I am very sorry for the loss of your son. Hoping you find peace.
So sorry for your loss, l hope you can find peace in your life.
😭😭😭
God bless you and yours Nick
It's not simple for me put in words how Nick makes me feel with his letters, his writting, his songs. His spirit is immeasurable, it seems like he came from another universe to show us love, spread it, make it art. His art is so soul touching, I can't thank enough for that.
❤
Nick Cave performing Shane McGowan's "Rainy night in Soho" at Shane's funeral in Dublin is a must see/listen. So much passion. A tremendous tribute to his Dear friend.
What an opening line. What a beautiful song. What a beautiful artist.
I lost my beloved mum and sister within six weeks of each other. It has been the bleakest, most harrowing summer, but, listening to this piece of music has given comfort. Thank you Nick
I've lost quite a few people in my life, the most recent being my best friend of 23 years. She found out she had cancer on March 10th and died March 20th 2021. My mom died when I was 17. She died on her birthday, January 20th, back in 1999.
I could not imagine going through that hell back to back like that. I'm very sorry for your loss and I wish you happier days ahead.
A hug from Holland
Hello everyone, I am sorry for your loss. I can send everyone some of my happiness to help. Allow me to give you a fraternal hug.💪

My ex fiancé dedicated this song to me. It makes me long for him in ways I can’t explain. Although we did love each other very deeply, I had my issues with mental health and he had his issues with drugs and alcohol. He could also be very cruel to me, that it crushed my self esteem. So I fled, and it was the hardest decision of my life. I know that we will never ever be together again, and it’s for the best. Its been 4 years, and sometimes I come here, and listen to this, and wish I was back in that brief moment in time when we were in each other’s arms.
Don’t look back or feel it all over again
I did not know much about Nick Cave, but when I heard he sang this song personally at the funeral of Michael Hutchence of INXS , I was curious to hear it. One of the crazy things about that funeral is that it was televised live on Australian television. Like the true gentleman that Nick Cave must be he asked that the cameras be turned off when he sang this song his family and friends. That's a class act all the way. Bravo, and what a beautiful song it is indeed
That's the first time I've ever heard that story. That's beautiful. Thanks for the share
Just a flawless masterpiece. Its that simple. One of the greatest love songs ever written.
This is one of the best songs ever written. EVER. Nick Cave is a genius. If you aren’t moved by this piece of music, then, are you human?
I gues I am not human😂. I only like the "Into my arms hmmh" part😭🤌🏻
Man.. today is a day. I'm a little bit alone and a little bit drunk. I'm listening to you. And this strange feeling inside me.. I've missed something in my life. And this is perfect background for thinking. Thank You Nick.

What an amazing piece of poetry and songwriting.
Can be taken as a song of heartfelt joy and love or the deepest of loss, sorrow and love.
Perhaps it's a true love song- for with love, eventually comes great loss.
Nick Cave deserves far more credit for this song.
He deserves far more credit for being an incredible artist and musician absolutely. Those who don't know him.... are truly missing out.
It should be played on radio more often for sure.
Well said Mate. You hit the nail on the head

NC considers himself a poet rather than a lyricist mate.
Got here because of After Life. Husband passed Aug. 2020 after 16 month battle with cancer. Shortly after his death watched the show heard this song. Wow what a comfort I found !! 💗
This is one of my top ten songs of all times.
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart

Hey Lynley, I had M.E and I am completely over it. Keep doing what's good for your body and mind. Eat healthily and excercise carefully bit by bit until it passes, or the stress passes that is causing it ❤

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Both to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in Love
And I know that you do, too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms, oh Lord
Into my arms
I don't believe in the existence of angels, but looking at you I wonder if that's true. 💙
The best songs are the ones that you could just read like poetry.
Thanks for posting 👌
Beautiful lyrics!
Makes me sob!
I've never been a fan of Nick Cave, but happened across this song. God, what an incredibly emotional composition! I have a new-found respect for Mr Cave.
It is just brilliant, isn't it Tim. Hell (poor choice of words) he can create an atmosphere. I was listening to the dark and scary Red Right Hand, and automatically Wild Rose came on and then this...what a talent.Suffice it to say he doesn't need to know more about darkness, but I am so sad for what he must be enduring over the death of his young son.

Forever Cave !
And you shouldnt. He is like a black hole. Scary to be around. Yes he has some good songs.

I've Lost my father on 2013. I think of him each time i listen to this song. Our relationship had his issues but i miss him deeply and i cry a lot when i think of how much he suffered. Miss you dad!
One of the most Beautiful Songs that I have heard in my Lifetime, and I'm 76 !
Thanks for the support, it’s my utmost pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I wouldn’t be here if not you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my songs?😊
When my ex and I split up she took my daughter away as punishment. I spent months wishing I could speak to her, or hear her voice. I was around my daughter every single day, she was my entire world up until that point. When I would get home from work I would hear her scream out ‘DADDY DADDY DADDY!’ and I went months without hearing a sound she made except the videos on my phone. It was hard. Nothing came close to touching how I felt, and every moment that I spent worrying about her. This song made me feel like there is love out there that compares, as well as the pain that can come with it. I finally made it to a courthouse and got my daughter back. This is her song for the rest of my life. Thank you for getting me through this.
❤️❤️❤️
Fuck me.
Here I sit listening to Nick, my mind a mix of scattered thoughts, feeling sorry for myself once again. Telling myself the world is not fair, I didn’t put my hand up and choose the illness that I have.
Your words have motivated me to stop being a selfish fuck, there are people everywhere fighting and at times winning their battle.
This was my wedding bridal song 15 years ago - still makes me emotional. Most beautiful loving haunting song I’ve heard. My husband and I still dance together (no matter where we are) when this song comes on. Just love it ❤️
Melissa H that's a beautiful tradition, may you guys dance to it forever
Great song for a wedding, we had "Let's Stay Together" be 33 years next month so it works.
Great choice for it. More couples should follow suit.
And may ye dance for many many more years
Here on 30th December 2024 - 9th anniversary of my little girl's passing. It hurts to listen but this man knows where I am now and this song shows that.
I'm so sorry for your loss, heartbreaking...all the best for you...keep on moving and a happy new year
Hugs and love to you.
Broken hearts go hand-in-hand with beautiful songs, and this one is no exception. This achingly beautiful song is how many of us feel at the end of a relationship, and I guess Nick and PJ also experienced it. Sad, nostalgic, hurt and full of the, "if only's".
I sent the link to the song to a beautiful young lady who filled my heart with so much happiness for the brief moment we knew each other.
I met Maral when I was working on Nauru. She is an asylum seeker and the rotten Australian g'ment has them locked up with no immediate future.

How often have the actions of others thwarted affection becoming true love. I feel happy that you had that brief moment. Maybe you'll find each other again.
PS: Thanks for sharing your story, George.

Yeah, sure. Like I totally believe you're who you claim you are.
@@nickcave1913 you are a genius x
a masterpiece of elegance and aesthetics. Pure beauty, light in the night, voice of the heart, path to the moon, stair in the sky ... a rare gem
The first song I listened to after my Dad passed away. Will always be our song.
same here :/
my late brother always said, "best song ever".
Lost my best friend of 40 years who walked through the journey of life with me and all the ups and downs that come with it. I am with you all tonight who ever you are, wherever you are.xxx
He said he only wanted to write one love song. I hear it, lie on my bed and cry. Nick Cave totally nailed it.
I never knew that. But, luckily, we also have Paul Kelly
The pain and emotion in this song is nothing compared to the stories in the comments below. I've read many and I hope you have found peace in music
Yes. I felt this too. ❤️
UA-cam comments on songs are always attention seeking pity parties, but this video's is particularly pathetic.
That's so beautiful. God bless you ❤
The pain and emotion in this song may very well be related to the tragic deaths of his two sons. One, a tragic accident when very young and the other due to drug addiction.
I Still Believe in Love. This song is a Masterpiece!
I do toooooooo❤❤❤❤
I believe in some kind of path!
@@ACheateryearsago a path indeed😆😆😆😆
I been looking for this song since 2009!!! (it’s 2024). I am so happy I found it again. It’s so hauntingly beautiful and true. ❤
I love when that happens 🙂 So glad you found it 💕
@@p.moorewilson7917 Thanks!! Me too. It’s been too long!! 💕
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Used this song on my mom's funeral. reflects a lot of her, miss her so much, she was a really great person and died on a very young age, she was the most healthy person U knew, still had cancer at the age of 58 and died soon after... miss you mom.. wish I could hug you once more..
+Edouard verbeke Don`t worry she knows that, and you will meet her in the end. you have a life to fulfill and do it right with open heart. that`s the right way.
rest in peace
i lost my mom one year ago, cancer, this song was also at the funeral. she was 58 to.... and yeah i know how you feel.... really wanna give her a hug once more. stay strong!
i lost my mother when i was 11 and she was 38, and we used this song for her funeral too. haunting and beautiful
Hope you get recovered, if you remember her she is still present in this cruel world
I just heard this song for the first time today, truly a blessing. Lost my husband of 40 years 18 months ago. RIP Bernie!
❤️ 💙 💜
Hello. How are you doing Barbara. So sorry about your lost my condolences if you don’t mind me asking. Where are Ron from I would love to friends with you ?
Barbara, they have not gone from us. Just gone before us.
But I believe in love.....
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart
Sending my heartfelt condolences ❤
I finished listening to this song and it made me cry, this man sings with his soul, he is full of love, of something magical. In concert it is majestic. Beauty of music! 🎵
Love changed me once. I thought at the time that it bruised me only much later on to realise that it was me hurting myself. It took me years to understand what loving truly means. Love does not require happy ending. It just needs to be. Love is a value on it's own. It pained me for years until I learned to appreciate love itself without attaching it to the need to physically be close to the loved one. That's an eternal love. I wish everyone who misses someone would live to recognise the beauty of accepting it this way. Love does not disappear, does not leave or stop existing. It's always there, once we let ourselves be vulnerable enough to accept it, blessing us for an eternity.
Beautifully put, if i could add to this it would be that a couple of my friends have used beautiful and poigniant songs or soundtracks that were perfect for the service. However
the same pieces, that were so special and already had many memories attached to them
were taken over by this one final memory. with one to the point where they couldn`t bare to listen to it any longer. Such was the power of both song and memory. I guess the point of this response is to try and think of music used before the finality of such a situation. This is ok in an ideal world however perhaps we could discuss this with family
and friends before. A very delicate subject. Clifford
Contact me Miss France please
So succinctly and truly expressed.
I was smitten some years ago and through a variety of circumstances never got past the initial attraction, or in my case, infatuation with the person of my desires.
I maintained the relationship, through small gifts and shows of affection and offers of support, and, over time, realized that I had come to truly love that person.
Due to our many varied differences or affections will never blossom into the fairy tale ending. It doesn't have to. I'm so happy for the love that I've found and the nourishment that it has provided my soul. I love you, Honey Bunch.
no he didnt
musiux2000 Really needed to read this at this very moment. Thank you and hope life is treating you well :)
I played this at my sons funeral a few weeks ago. For me it was the perfect song ❤️
I lost my son, aged 3 1/2, I love you
so sorry. great song for it. peace love
I am so sorry Kareen.
So sorry for you. Played it at my daughter's funeral two years ago. Last year I went to get a tattoo in memory of her. As the tattooist picked up the needle the song came on the parlour's sound system. It was as if she was approving the tattoo.
@@josephkendle7806 that's incredible man.
You have just discovered a man who knows how to sing a beautiful song with a very rare passion.
I lost the love of my life in December. This song was playing as we walked into his service. I've always loved this song, but i now will have it etched in my memory as i said goodbye to a huge part of my heart forever.
I’ve been crying like some of the people in this video the last few days while going through what will be my last alcohol withdrawal. Thank you for such a beautiful song🙏
Keep going mate. I believe in you.
@@chips2795 thanks amigo, been clean for over 4 months now!💪
Wishing you the best in the future. I've lost a lot of family to that fight, and I've also seen a lot of them come out the other side of it better than they've ever been. I don't know you, but I'm sending you my best for whatever that's worth
@@dazzlinggems; keep it up, one day at a time; if I may share something that I know that you've not requested, is that I've learned that proactively working on one's emotional education may help you live a better sober life (while I haven't faced the same struggle, other men from different generations in my family have and I wish they would have learned, recognized and taken care of their emotions... that would have made life easier for everybody).
Stay safe, you've got this, you're stronger than addictions. Much respect to you and others who've dared to overcome such challenge.
@@malandro2023thank you! Yes for me my biggest challenges were choosing to drink instead of facing life’s moments of discomfort, boredom and wanting to reward myself for working hard. I basically had to flip the script and sit in the discomfort for awhile, without alcohol, and naturally my body/mind began to search for positive activities instead. I’ve been clean almost 8 months now. But I thank you for your kind words. And you’re right I had to face a lot of emotions and be willing to work with them and not avoid. 🙏😎
My best friend died of brain cancer when we were 15. whenever i listen to this song I wish I could hold her into my arms... i mean i wanna hold her almosy everyday but when this song comes I just miss her instant warmth. She was nothing but a pure angel, I hope I see her on the other side.
@@helenamagero2314 thank you so much for your kindest words. I believe that one's life would really be of a worth if atleast someone had him in his heart till the end. Even if they forget about you on some days, you know you'll be right there, in the place where they think they forgot about something but can't remember what it was.
I suggest you to read Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare too! The meaning behind it, how he made the lover live forever through the words in his poem.. It's a masterpiece.
Again, thank you your kindness made me smile :)
@@helenamagero2314 we all live under one sky. We all share the same spectrum of feelings, when you can't feel joy yet you know someone else does, know that your turn is coming. Wish them to have a blast, just like what you are doing rn. Seeing others' joy will give you a glimpse of how it should feel like, so you're ready for it when it happens to you. We all lose ourselves at some point, we all feel lost and unable to be found, but what really makes me get by is knowing that someone somewhere out there is feeling just the same. That he will make it out of this blurriness , and hence I will too.
Thank you for reminding me that💙
this is one of the most beautiful songs ever
I played this song at me wedding.
No words are needed ! This is o so so beautoful ! Thank you !
I was watching the film About Time and heard this song. Thanks Nick for this beautiful song. ❤
'The pain leaves your heart and moves into your bones', old Polish saying.
How is it in polish?
I'm Polish but don't know this! Can you please translate it?
@@martynakrauze-moskal6133 it’s in Russian
Thats so sad :(
So true
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
👍
grazie Laura..

Nick Cave's son passed away... RIP soul
I love that the kept the absolute purity of Nick's vocal.
The slight lisp on the "S" of arms... something about it adds to the humility and honesty of his emotions.
There has been days when I had no food to eat, there has been weeks where I had no electricity at all, there has been years of loneliness and no one to call but all of it makes sense when I hear this song
Dennis, message me brother.
So sorry.
There is someone to call if not family, friend then a stranger on a phone line..if you don't speak up no one can listen..I'm hoping you are in a better place now
For me the song was and is not a sad song. Our little baby is now over 5 month old and it was the song I played to him through his Mom's belly. He always reacted on this song, as he did to some music from Leonard Cohen. I just wanted that he would be soon directed into our arms so that we could hug him. Love you little Joseph :))
+orionschwert Brilliant parenting right there, exposing them to good music from the start! Throw in some Tom Waits into the mix and your little one will go far :)
+orionschwert Great attitude, good job :) Love to you, your family and to little Joseph !!! He is lucky to have parents with good musical taste - he will learn so much about music form you, fo sure
thank you guys :)
That's adorable, and sounds like that little baby is going to have a great taste in music. All the best to you and your family!
Is he 3 now?
Never has a song moved me so much that no matter what mood I am or happy I am as soon as I hear it I break down in tears. SO beautiful and melancholy all at the same time. Pure joy and celebration and absolute desolation and emptiness all at the same time. An absolutely remarkable feat in a song! I break down in tears whenever I hear this song. Much love for it
totally agree with you.
Shame I've just heard this song for the first time but reaction exactly the same :/ very beautiful and moving song
Couldn't agree more with all of the above.
it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs ever written, right up there with "Hallelujah" (cohen's original).
Yep agreed. Black Sabbath's "Changes" also does the same for me.
😢Das Lied geht mir zu Herzen, es macht Gänsehaut und die Tränen beginnen zu laufen 😢.
I listened to this song after reading “carry on“ and I've been listening to it every day a couple of times ever since. Can't stop myself from crying. This now is one of my favourite songs. And it is easily one of the greatest songs ever!
nicki15710 YES YES I FOUND IT FROM CARRY ON TOO AND IT MADE ME CRY THINKING OF THEM
When I re read the dance scene I do so with this is the background. So thankful for Rowells work and this introduction to beautiful music
Yesssss! I'm too
Had tears streaming down my face hearing this for the first time in years. That's the power of music
My father passed away almost 3 years ago and every single time I listen to this song I can’t contain my tears thinking about him.
If I could go back in time I would hold him tight in my arms again.
I’d give anything to see him one more time. 🖤
me to Rachel ,lost my beautiful Dad two years ago .
Bless you ❤️
Nothing ever takes love away. It is pure & always a source of strength to draw from.
Teardrops falling down my face when reading your message! 😢
It is only wrong that not more people know about it. It is beautiful and very spiritual.
I'm thinking about my father, I will love him forever. Rest in Heaven.
Hi dear I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your profile and sent a text hope you don't find it pestering...?
Touches our soul , lifts our spirit , comforts the heart. Thank you .
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
My husband's choice for our wedding song. He died, young... but it will stay reminder of our life, happy memories....forever. Amazing song and voice
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart
❤️❤️🙏
@@elizabethwallace-donnelly.2356 thank you for your kind words. I wish that she could come back to see how brave of a young woman our daughter had grown up to be. I wish that my adorable daughter could have known how wonderful of a person her mother was, death takes a huge toll on you and you mostly never get over.
@@AndyArnold-uz5yo If only the vast fortune some states spend on instruments of
death, were re-directed into defeating this most horrific enemy of all of us!
(in light of 'money creation' reality, relying on charity, to boost sums - whilst
itself very admirable - is at the same time utterly obscene).
How have I never heard this before?
What a wonderful voice.
ikr
Me too ❤❤❤first time ❤
The most beautiful song ever , have so my emotions, listening and digesting the lyrics. Breathes deep into my soul and I struggle with expression and openness, this song really helps me. Truly love it ♥️
One of the most romantic songs ever. I get goose bumps every time I hear this. I think of him and wish him the universe...
Hello 👋 how are you doing today and hope you are having a great day ?
I don't know why I'm just discovering this song lol ❤😂
I recently met Nick in New York and he was the most humble guy I've ever met.
Just heard about the sad passing of Nick Cave's son & this is the first song that came into my head. R.I.P.
This song just moves me to tears every time I listen to it. Nick's lyrics connects us to love irrespective of whether we believe in God or angels. To recognise that both aspects can be contained and represented in human love and relationships, opens us up to deeper spiritual love. Such a love can connect us to higher dimensions of love.
Brilliant comment.
