Video: Nick Cave - Into My Arms

[quad_lars]

... er kanskje den beste musikkvideoen i svart-hvitt:



... er kanskje den fineste kjærlighetssangen som er skrevet:

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

And 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 candlew 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

Fantastisk sang fra en fantastisk artist. Å plukke en favoritt fra Boatsmen Call er nesten umulig, men jeg syns faktisk Brompton Oratory er den beste kjærlighetssangen.

15ft of pure white snow er heller ikke så verst...

"Straight to You" fra Henry's Dream er også bra.

"Let love in" albumet er vel ikke akkurat kjærlighetserklæringer, men kjærlighetens sanne side med både tro, tvil, desperasjon og fortvilelse?  

Om de mindre vakre sidene av kjærligheten: "Slowly goes the night" og "Lucy"

Når det drar seg til og alt ender galt:

Hats off to the man
On top of the world
Come crawl up here, baby
And we can watch this damn thing turn
If you wanna be my friend
And you wanna repent
And you want it all to end
And you wanna know when
Well do it now Do it now
Take a long last bow
Take my hand Make a stand
And blow it all to hell

Lay me low...
When I go...
