If this song doesn't hit your feelings, then you don't have feelings.
I don´t have feelings :'v
what feelings???
Hey y’all// you got feelings??
Check out boys town atrocities..
conspiracy of silence.. perhaps the lyrics meaning would change???
Totally agree with you, Just such a powerful song, makes me fill up every time I hear it! Awesome.
i've cried like little pussy when first listened to it reading lyrics (not english speaker, but my country was affected hard by GULAG)
I hope those kids realise they got to perform with a musical genius..
The kids got to know till now as they have grown quite big by now
ever thought about starting a religion?
I’m sure their grandparents have drilled it into them by now
They are part of the genius of it!
honestly
Best part about Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part one :')
BATMAN923 yes...
True
:') 💕
best harry potter scene period!
Fuck you!
I first heard this song in Harry Potter, as many people might have, and I remember I was kinda multitasking at the time but the music caught my attention back to the movie and dancing scene . replayed that scene and love this song now. better late than never lol
Me, too :)
That song caught my attention too, and I was 9 when I first saw deathly hallows part 1!!! I can’t imagine what it was like to see that scene in theaters, I know my older brother did that lucky ass dude.
I hope the scene made you a fan of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds ❤
A mí me pasó igual,amo está canción
Eu tbm eu a primeira vez que vi o filme eu reparei de cara na música chorei muito por isso aquele filme me marcou
Man I thought the studio version was hauntingly beautiful already, but this is 'beyond my wildest expectation'!
This song is one of the few that goes over better live in any circumstance.
I see what you did there
This kick
That was a very awesome way to put it
The children in the choir....what an impact this has had on them. They will keep on doing acts of greatness....
May the souls lost in Holocaust rest in peace. Actually seeing children sing this song absolutely broke me. Just how cruel can humanity get? It's so scary to think what we are capable of. Never again. Please. Never again.
What does the Holocaust have to do with this song? Wtf
@@Nacional-SocialismoThe song is about the holocaust
@@Lola-jy3jl Where in the lyrics does he talk about the Holocaust? You want to stick the Holocaust into everything. "6 trillion Jews die in the Second World War, poor things"
@@Nacional-Socialismo get some research before commenting stupid
The man is a poet in complete mastery of his profession. There are few equals
Man I 100% agree, he mastered it for sure.
Children, sorry that we can't make a colorful earth for you... But it's still has flowers, still has birds, still has hope. You are the hope. Please don't lose yourself as a child inside you. Let all us jump on that little train. Children, don't listen the ones that tell you to shut your mouth. Children, rejoice! ❤️
Why I am laughing at this comment lmao
@@ACheateryearsago Yea it's fucking cringe alright
@@lotanowohope you've grown up a bit in a year since you posted this
So I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Sunday, and this scene reached forth and delivered unto me an uppercut right in the feels. I cannot explain why this powerful moment previously passed me by. It’s not too difficult to understand why it tugged on the feels. This scene embodies one of the most beautiful aspects of human nature. You would be hard pressed to find a time in this extensive story where things feel more lost and hopeless. They are alone, they have no plan, and so many people are dead.. Despite this, Harry and Hermione share this small moment. A sliver of magic in a rapidly darkening world. Our ability to endure overwhelming odds and global horror, and to somehow forge a beam of light in spite of the looming shadows is testament to our courage and ingenuity as a species. Indeed, to ‘rage against the dying of the light.’ So, before you point out the fact that Harry Potter is pure fiction, I would like to mention that this is the exact point I am trying to make. These virtues I have mentioned are so powerful and moving that we have immortalised them in our art since the dawn of our history. These songs, paintings, books and movies, despite being fiction, affect us so deeply because they are 100% relatable. This is what we are. We are fighters and survivors. We believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good. We believe in seeking joy wherever it can be found. We are the sum of our stories. You can look back into the history of any culture upon the Earth, and you will find these virtuous tales. As a species, we are romantics. Our stories are proof of this, and we have incredible stories.
Call me optimistic, but I still believe we can do this. I still believe in us, but we are running out of time. When we arrive upon the brink, I hope we can take a moment to dance like Harry and Hermione, and if we cannot, then I fear we won’t be fighting for anything worthwhile.
Our children grow upon the tales. In this modern world, we need to teach them to dance, and we also need to point out the shadows, and show them how we dance despite their existence. We need the right stories.
We are cutting it fine, but like all great fiction, if we pull it off, it will make for one hell of a story…
“We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about and it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings”
“Hey, little train, wait for me
I once was blind, but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?"
"Hey little train, wait for me
I was held in chains, but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see?
In this process of elimination.”
Ye man, That scene got me too. What you wrote i genuine and true.Respect
Whoever thought out that scene was a genius.
You have the heart and soul of a poet. I love what you've written. The song is haunting, and your words are ever more profound in these dark times we are living in. Peace 💕
This moved me... Thank you.
You managed to write down the emotions this song and the scene created in me, but i was not able to describe or even understand them. Thank you so much! I can't stop listening to this song and as i read your text it just blew my mind away
A cross between Leonard Cohen and Pink Floyd, stepping into the theatrics.
Nick Cave is much more
Nick Cave is Nick Cave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick Cave is alongside them - no crossovers.
Comparing nick cave too a legend like Leonard Cohen? Is a HUGE compliment. ( I think your comparison was brilliant!)... Leonard the poet of all poets. Trust that Nick knows this. I think he'd be happy being compared to such a legend. BC he too is a musical genius. I hope he got to meet Leonard Cohen...who's no longer with us now.
This song is chill inducing. And that voice...He can definitely SING better then cohen or pink Floyd.
Using children in songs usually works beautifully like it does here. CHILLS.
Is that an electric violin?? And The man playing that... whoa... that's BEAUTUFUL.
@@libertyjo6238 "the man playing the violin" ? Warren Ellis has been Nick's equal in the music they produce for over 20 years! He was awe inspiring as the front man of the Dirty Three in his pre-Bad Seeds days, I still have fond memories seeing him tear it up at a local pub gig in Melbourne circa 1998. Incredible musician and artist. I credit him for the amazing "second act" (after Blixa and Mick left the band) in Nick's journey with the Bad Seeds.
Now that Bowie has passed away, Nick is the number one, undoubtedly. Intensity, passion, music that touches your heart
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!
Memory To Bowie❤
They hang on. All seen but give us where he moves🔌
I did not think that way, many lost
I love how the guitarist at 1:20 plays the wrong chord and quickly remembers that it's not the chorus yet. Makes the whole performance more human.
I love how he is an Australian music legend in his own right, just playing a bit of acoustic rhythm guitar for The Bad Seeds anonymously for a while on this tour. Take a bow Ed Kuepper!
I agree. I think everyone noticed that.
I think it's hilarious when singers forget the lyrics to a song. People need to remember, these singers don't go home and play the CD 500 times on repeat like we do as rabid fans. After 10 or 20 years, it doesn't surprise me that a singer sang verse 3 before verse 2. Especially considering he was probably staring at a chick who flashed her tits at that moment. It does happen. My favorite incident with Nick is when he plays The Curse of Millhaven in concert. He has a roadie on stage with him holding poster board with the song lyrics written upon it. The song is long so it requires several boards. What makes it so awesome is Nick still forgets the lyrics. LOL! Nick gets flustered early in the song and sings, "...last Christmas little fuckin' Bill Blake's little boy...whatever...they found him the next week..." Its so funny how he waves his hand dismissively, like whatever, who cares, I'm moving on. He adds a few more F-Bombs into this song too. A great performance. I highly suggest it as the song is awesome to begin with. Someone named PlacentaJuan uploaded the video.
I don't understand what this song is about, but apparently my heart does, because I cry every time I hear it.
The Holocaust
Communist dragging people away
@@kodamaz not exaclty
@@longhairmullet not exactly
I take it to be about any form of totalitarianism.
"We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about and it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings."
Anyone promising the answer to everything and saying it is simple is to be mistrusted, they are more interested in the winnings and the power that comes their way. When we find that answer like old Jim does in the song we remember that every time this promise has been made, and we have given power to those who have promised us all encompassing simple solutions, we have opened the door to mass murder. Whether it is Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, China, North Korea... I take this song to be about a generation realising too late that they have set themselves on the path to this destination, looking at their children and finally understanding the future they have ushered in for them. 'We're all weeping now, weeping because there's nothing we can do to protect you' indeed.
This song is a warning. You are right to cry.
this song gets me EVERY time
I can’t imagine how one goes about writing a song like this. There is Nick, and there is Nick. He has no peers.
The voice of this man. This music is perfect
Today is a sad day, as they told me a friend of mine had lost her sole son. I hope he is having fun on that train, far beyond his wildest expectations.
Remember all those children,that we have lost In the gears of war... innocent souls
Lucky kids!! One day they will look back and realize they sang along a genius.
Wow, those kids are singing their hearts out...the night they sang with Nick Cave...wonderful ❤
i cried my eyes out while listening this at the concert. such an ethereal, unforgettable moment of my life.
Cadê os Brasileiros!
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Música linda!!!!!!!!!!!!
Opa ✌🏾
Aqui!!!!
Opa!

Olá 😍
Just saw Nick Cave live 2 days ago, what a fantastic concert it was
incredible song, great concert. nick is amazing
yes ! like a comment
This has to be one of the best things the world has seen. Lucky us to be alive to ear this.
I like that they use children as backing vocals
Take That did the same it really does make a song stand out, the innocence of children and using their voices adds so much meaning and context to songs
The children prolly don't understand nothing though, I just hope they do.
@@ACheateryearsago Don't. Remember yourself in that age. They feel, but certainly don't understand too much.
But also it's not like there is much to understand. People still argue what the song is about. It's just feeling after all.
probably the most beautiful song to ever be sung
Warren Ellis is so good on the violin.
when I see kids now I just weep like a widow as i know what we have done to them and their chances of a future...
The terrible thing you globalist enviros have done is lieing to them about Doomsday enviromental lies! The Natzis use children to get thier agenda done.
@@melissasmith7544 lol I’d rather lie to the children than have them spell like you, Jesus Christ.
@@rorysampson5492 I'm all thumbs Rory.
That violin at the end killed me, I love it
I haven't cried in a long time til I heard this.
4:38
Chills
4:40
Love this song
I had heard of Nick Cave when I was 15, watching an interview he gave in regard to the punk/grange/alternative rock movement. However, it took me an additional 15 years before I heard this song or anything else of his.
Better late than never.
this song hits a certain nerve inside me i can't explain how it makes me feel
As does most of his stuff. I always feel somewhat weepy when listening to Nick, often through a smile. He defies definition.
For everyone that's here because of Potter, go now and do yourself a favour and listen to the entire album 'Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus.' An absolute masterpiece.
And then check out ol' mate with the voilin and his band... Dirty Three.
Much love, Xx
One of the few songs that compel me to just... stop. Just stop all that I'm doing, without any reservations, and listen. Sublime.
4:42 I´m in love.
Fell for Emma Watson hard in that scene when she was dancing with Harry and this was playing. Ron so damn lucky maaaan
Omg same
i always feel so sad listening to this song. it’s such a beautiful tribute to children lost during the holocaust and every other senseless tragedy.
I love all his songs. This is one of the best! He is the best poet. Musial genius of our time!
Makes me feel like it’s my last night on earth
Nick Cave and David Bowie!!
Try scott walker and jacques brel they were influencers to Bowie et al.
@@etcapel Great! I will!! Thanks and subscribe to my channel to support my work!!😊
I'm deep into black and death metal but this song.... This song is something else I'm crying every time I hear it.... And nick cave is simply not real so much amazing songs, intensity, poetry, deep meanings... I think there is always a hard price to pay when you are such a genius
came here from the harry potter film deathly hallows. watching the harry potter films as an adult, reminiscing my childhood. this song hits hard 😭😭😭😭😭 just letting myself cry and giving myself permission to feel for once because i've always been shamed for my emotions and always had to be the strong one 😭😭😭 now im learning to embrace my emotions and recognising that it's only human to have emotions. my inner child is rejoicing to this song 😭😭😭
God bless those children, god bless Nick Cave. Pure genius and emotion, just awesome. And Warren Ellis 😮 talented man
Very Powerful and clear voice from Nick Cave.. He seems very comfortable on stage. This man is a Musician 😊
Well, I knew Nick Cave´s music because of Harry Potter and I´m not ashamed of that.
Better through a kids book that not at all
I found him through a photographers post on Instagram. Beautiful photos all around Europe then a photo of Nick Cave wishing him happy birthday in September. Her photos were of such unique quality I thought the music would be of same reflection. And IT IS! 🤘 we all find our way though many different twists and turns in life.
@@longhairmullet could you give @ of that page, i wanna check those photos 😊
LYRİCS
Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darling one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don’t even want to let them start
They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They’re mopping up the butcher’s floor
Of your broken little hearts
O children
Forgive us now for what we’ve done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They’re gathering around with all my friends
We’re older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears
It’s short, it’s simple, it’s crystal clear
It’s roundabout, it’s somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
The cleaners have done their job on you
They’re hip to it, man, they’re in the groove
They’ve hosed you down, you’re good as new
They’re lining up to inspect you
O children
Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost
He’s found the answer that was lost
We’re all weeping now, weeping because
There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Hey, little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I’m free
I’m hanging in there, don’t you see
In this process of elimination
Hey, little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
It’s beyond my wildest expectation
Hey, little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We’re happy, Ma, we’re having fun
And the train ain’t even left the station
You dialectic?
Sounds like it was written about child trafficking and snuff films.
magic.
Essa música é sensacional! Nick é um verdadeiro artista. O mais louco é tê-lo conhecido por HP
Amazing tune, the blonde lad in the choir is defo loving the tunes, bobbing away.
yeah..he got to me
I have zero idea what this song is really about but I don't think I want to know now. It's got a magic that I don't want to be affected by anything.
The love I have for Nick is so big that it hurts.
2021 "Happiness can be found even in the most darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light"
I still remember when I seen him in Dallas, a fucking brilliant show!
Which tour?
@@johnarundell7951 I dunno, it's around the time the Push the Sky Away album released
what an artist, every decision we make from now on should be to protect the young ones 3/5/2020
Amazing!!!! Thank you!!!
my favorite song...
Toujours autant de frissons quand j'écoute cette chanson ....... Avec la chorale c'est encore plus puissant. Quel artiste !
Auguro ogni sorta di bene a quest uomo. Ricco di empatia comunicazione sensibilità e saggezza. E trasborda di tutti ciò come lo vediamo ❤
Conway classy as ever turns to acknowledge the kids in the choir behind him immediately after
Cuanta magia creas Nick... siento tantas cosas y me da tanta paz escucharte, siento que me conecto con tu alma con tu esencia en ciertas ocasiones... gracias por tanto!!!
Debieron incluir la parte del violin en la version original, es demasiado buena.
Que bien describes donde te lleva Nick Cave y su banda. Las sensaciones llevadas a la música
2022 and this song still make me cry..
