- ‘We are all, at some point in our lives, obliterated by loss. If you haven’t been by now, you will be in time - that’s for sure. And, of course, if you have been fortunate enough to have been truly loved, in this world, you will also cause extraordinary pain to others when you leave it. That’s the covenant of life and death, and the terrible beauty of grief.’ - Nick Cave, Faith, Hope and Carnage
In the depths of the pandemic of summer 2020 Nick Cave began a series of long conversations with his old friend Seán O’Hagan. The 40 hours of recordings have been distilled into a remarkable bestselling book, Faith, Hope and Carnage. In it Cave, one of the world’s most acclaimed and visionary musicians, talks with radical candour about his past, his loves, his work ethic, his creativity and the agony of losing his 15-year-old son Arthur in 2015. The book addresses all the big questions: What is love? How does faith work? How do we handle grief?
In November 2023 Cave and O’Hagan came to the Intelligence Squared stage to continue the conversation, as they explored the human condition and offered hoped. As Cave says, ‘Despite how debased or corrupt we are told humanity is, and how degraded the world has become, it just keeps on being beautiful. It can’t help it.’

My God, this guy is genuine. He has come a long way. Very deep respect.
I do get that religious feeling on Nick's live show. You laugh, you cry, you are hurting while listening his music and you come out of it clean, refreshed and optimistic. Like new beginning is around a corner and reachable.
A baptism.
Terrific conversation as it's always expected from Nick Cave and Seán O’Hagan. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes a little bit of faith can go a long long way…
Using your brain and thinking critically can take you farther.
@@Snowman-dk9dqUnite the heart and head.
What an unusually good introduction, I must say that this is hands down the best such presentation I have ever seen! They are usually quite dull indeed, and I almost always skip them. This delightful, bright woman, otoh, is wonderful!
He was brilliant in Boston this past Fall. Such an incredible artist…

Thanku for your singing at shane funeral mass in neenagh co tipperary. Shane loved u hated u loved u. Nick keep strong keep grounded 💪
Much better interview than all of the others over the last year. Thankfully goes into better detail. Thanks for setting the record straight (or crooked). lol.
I very rarely have conversations. When I do, I call them Wonderings. A voyage of discovery. xx
It's hard to relate to Nick not listening to his own records. I guess other recording artists would understand. Wonderful interview!
Thank you !
Nick Cave buried two sons in a cloud of grief
and then friends, what he thinks when he sings "Into my arms".
You done that and do. Nice To hear you
Actually, both Nick and Sean have read the book because they made an audiobook of it, each reading their own part in the dialogue Available from Audible.
❤❤❤❤
Jesus is said to be the Son of God. These are deeply mystical concepts. Jesus is my saviour, I choose that for the time I die and I hold the concept of God with me all the time. Nicks work has always been concerned with these spiritual things, since Birthday Party. I was there in those early days and his performance was almost like getting our demons out. His and ours.
Goodbye and Hello. Hes not gone near of you

_'I don't believe in an interventionist god.'_
But I know, Darling, that you do…
@@Alicedoesart Thanks babe.
Church is in us.. why wear Christianity on our sleeves, and we wish to AIR IT!! I feel exactly like you dear Mr Cave.. it is a private matter exact!!!
I'm a Lenny Bruce & Frank Zappa conservative 😊 & trying to be a conformist to Chist . Christ being fully human & fully God gets me
You and me… we are brothers
Will Nick play the US at all in 2024??
Although its unlikely any supernatural God exists, religious belief can for some give comfort.
If you live long enough, you will meet that cleaner.
Why are the religious grasping for some kind of spiritual salvation, love his work bit it seems all to ‘grounded’ in superstition.
Sorry nick, I love you but I’m the total kinda Soho bum that was the waste of life that he loved. I hate it. But I am exactly that.
Rich kids talking about its easy nough said 😂
So when rich kids say sing o its easy i think u are talking walking toffee to yr candyfloss dross
Nick Cave was very careful with his words when it came to the Christian subject ,and that is ,he probably does not want to end up dead like Prince ,Who even would talk about JESUS and bible issues at some of his concert . Never be ashamed of being a true Christian.or to talk about JESUS
You need time where To go🌿🥅
