    What powerfully melancholic and artfully penned lyrics. No doubt this is Rowland S. Howard's 'swan song'.

    This is the most beautiful song i've heard in awhile. I think Rowland was a genius, and this world never truly loves a genius person enough. His worth seems to becoming out more after he's passed away, sadly but expected that of the world. I loved him because Lydia Lunch recognized his great worth and I was a fan of hers when I was young. Hope more and more people find this song and then listen to more to from him.

    I hear you brother. Listening to this with tears in my eyes and a cigarette in my hand, his music makes my heart hurt but not so that I want to fix - so that I want to create. One of the loveliest creatures ever spawned by this sad world.

    Fear and self loathing
    Forged a chain of silver ore
    By the time I stop singing
    You won't love me anymore
    I ran to the river
    Crying, "river cure me"
    But the river just laughed
    Washing sand over me
    Girl child your daddy's
    Silver chain's nine miles long
    From every link of that chain
    Hangs a heart he has wronged
    Little girl take the length
    Of your father's bright chain
    And bind me to you
    I don't care what you do
    I ran to the fire
    "Fire purify me"
    The fire licked my skin
    But it did not set me free
    I turned to the bottle
    "Alcohol cure me
    Let me sleep without dreaming"
    Alcohol lied to me
    Girl child your daddy's
    Silver chain's nine miles long
    From every link of that chain
    Hangs a heart he has wronged
    Little girl take the length
    Of your father's bright chain
    And bind me to you
    I don't care what you do
    I spoke to the forest
    I spoke to the trees
    I spoke to the river
    But it did not speak to me
    I carved your name
    In the cypress tree bark
    I tattooed your name
    In a ring round my heart
    I wore out my welcome
    I wore out myself
    I wore out my reason
    I wore out my health
    I forgot my name
    On the day that you came...
    Girl child your daddy's
    Silver chain's nine miles long
    From every link of that chain
    Hangs a heart he has wronged
    Little girl take the length
    Of your father's bright chain
    And bind me to you
    I don't care what you do

    if ever i coud be star struck, it's when i see his face hear his guitar and get lost in his voice, I wish not to sound so emotional but he makes me 15 again.Where Nick made me wanna fix to "Much of his words" this boy makes me wanna heal and share. He was just beautifal music-voice-words-face- it's a tradgedy having more oppurtunity to see him live, but missing it stuck in my addiction. now clean "he's gone.", but his song's arn't. at least we have his beauty in song, and pics

    Beautiful video,brings tears but thanks.I so miss that he is gone

      +Blinky Cat The Melbourne tradition? The Melbourne entertainment industry was run by racist bigots up until the late nineties, when suddenly WASPS and Australia realised it is not the only nation on earth. And it was only then that people with non-pronounceable surnames were gaining recognition for their talents, other than not fitting in to the 'white bleach smelling' Anglo Saxons. What is the Melbourne tradition, if you do not have a pronounceable surname, and have neither attended Melbourne Uni, nor live in the S.E suburbs then one is not a part of the Melbourne tradition. In very narrow terms, most Melbourne WASP entertainers are 'middle class losers and wankers' that dump their drug fuelled and social problems on people that don't fit in to the Melbourne wankers membership club. I live in Melbourne, I was dumped here from Europe, and most of the time I hate most of the people in this city of self-righteous arseholes. And Australians generally are of the same latter category, arseholes. Melbourne tradition......(Johnny does a big vomit)

      I'm sorry you are so unhappy.I hope you find some happiness and peace;don't give up.
      I left Melbourne for various reasons,doesn't mean I don't love going back regularly,it's a shame you have the opposite view

    i think this is written from the perspective of the heart broken boy boy joan baez rejects in "silver dagger"(thats an olt folk song she didn't write that). In the song she explains that her father was a heart breaker (i.e. she has daddy issues) so she cannot be with him. and he's saying he doesn't care, drown me in all your issues, but she leaves anyways. so heart breaking, perfect desperate sorrow. the violin gets me every time. xo r.i.p.

      Well Nick Cave would've omitted his unique chance to grow a circuit preacher and wind people up with his cheap tricks. Don't get me wrong, I'm a devoted NC's fan but being a fan one needs to be alerted like twice.
      Ironically enough,
      I never claimed to be Rowland's fan, so unlike Cave he has my unconditional respect, a very special place in my heart.
