  • As a fan of both Nick Cave and Black Sails, I can't listen to this song without being reminded of Captain James Flint, the tormented protagonist of Black Sails. Any other pirates here who agree with me?
    A song originally by Leonard Cohen, covered by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in their 1984 album "From Her To Eternity" and then re-recorded for the Starz series "Black Sails", where it could be heard at the end of the ninth episode of the second season.
    No copywright infringement intended. I do not own the song, the picture, or the font (Caviar Dreams).

      Obviously this is a newer version than the more dramatic cover of the song that was recorded for “From Her to Eternity”, which is equally epic! Was it re-recorded as a tribute to Leonard Cohen after he died? Or co-incidental timing?

      The whole damn thing is raw... "I myself am the pedestal for the ugly hump at which you stare"..... And the final line, so abrupt...no further words necessary.
      I think this song is about a few things, but for me right now.... The idea that he's putting his own ugliness and flaws on display for her, the pain of it, but the ironic necessity of this being the only way to uncover beauty. And then at the end revealing to her that this act of self-exposure actually includes her too (wearing her flesh)... That it includes all of us, as fellow flawed humans.
      This kinda shit is why we have the phrase "tour de force". Raw as an open nerve.

    It's a perfect mix of both Flint and Silver for those who have watched Black Sails. There's lines that fit both of them. The dislikes must be for those who prefer the original but I think they're both great. Bear McCreary has a way of making the music sound both ancient and modern and he'll have had a hand in this arrangement.

      I, too, have been there, king. It feels as though you're staring at the universe around you from the center of a black hole, hopeless, desolate, and distraught. You can only lay there as what feels like millions of atmospheres crushing you down into an infinitely small singularity. But, there exists a theory. For every black hole, for each icon of absolute destruction that exists, there too exists a white hole, an icon of absolute creation. As such, the universe cannot exist without dark to live in balance with the light. Take my words to heart, king, and stand proud, for you are strong.

    az aranyhalom alatt alszom.
    Te, aki le akarod győzni a fájdalmat,
    Tanulj, tanulj meg kiszolgálni engem.
    Véletlenül nekem ütköztél,
    amikor az aranyodért lejöttél.
    Az a nyomorék, aki itt öltöztet és etet,
    se nem fázik, se nem éhes.
    Nem kér belőled,
    sem a világon, sem a világ közepén.
    Amikor piedesztálra állok,
    nem te tettél oda.
    A törvényed ne kényszerítsen engem,

    ezért a csúnya púpért, amit nézel.

    azok a morzsák, amiket magam mögött hagyok.

    De érzem, amikor lélegzel.
    Ne öltözz nekem ezekbe a rongyokba,
    Tudom, nem vagy szegény.
    És most ne szeress olyan hevesen,
    Amikor tudod, hogy nem vagy biztos benne.
    Rajtad a sor, szerelmem,
    Ez a te tested, amit viselek.

    I was in 8 relationships. 6 of i was cheated on.
    I watched 5 of my best friends in life kill themselves either through outright suicide or drugs. A lot of other friends died or left me.
    My father died half a year ago out of nowhere. My mother is about to pass away too if she continues on the way she does now. I am 33.
    People start to avoid me or ditch me. Rejected from those i wanted to be with. I only have one best friend left now who barely got time sadly. My 3 sisters barely understand how my head works. They just expect things from me to just work like a machine, even though i have been diagnosed with MS and i am in a shit load of pain each day.
    I endured a lot. Not as much as others but a lot. And as strong as i always thought i was. I start to feel my armor breaking apart by now if this continues.
