    Prior to his Conversations tour in 2019 , I wrote to Nick on the Red Hand Files about the recent loss of my beautiful partner , asking him to play Love Letter for me . Not only did he play it , but he even mentioned her by name..still brings me to tears . Such empathy for others is rare 😢

Each time I hear him its like an escape from ordinary life to a better place where people care and respect each other.

      He wasn't rebellious. What did he ever rebel against? War? Poverty? Capitalism?
      He just used to dress up and shout a lot.
      Nick Cave went to one of the poshest private schools in Melbourne and thought he was some kind of god. Sure, he wrote some great songs and gave some good performances, but he wasn't the rebel or folk hero some people make him out to be.

      @@davidb9531 Nick Cave has no empathy for the people of Palestine or anyone. He's a very privileged white guy. Until his son died, he'd never had anything bad happen to him. He can't relate to those who've had their whole family killed or their whole country destroyed. So he doesn't care about them.

    I had no idea this beautiful artist lost 2 of his sons. That's just unbearable, and yet. How do we live on as ghosts of ourselves too in such tidal wave loss 😢 for awhile. What's even more touching, is how he just, embraces and understands even in his own pain, what his wife what a mother may feel and have a different depth of grief journey. That just brings me to my knees, that level of empathy and awareness is simply put, beautiful and rare. A lovely elegant interview. Thank you.🫶🏻🦋💙✨

    While watching this interview you say Mothers go thru a different thing “a hell on to itself”….I grasp with relief because I lost my daughter’s 2 years ago and am still struggling to find my way. She was a great admirer of your music and she introduced me to it. She also saw you in concert at a venue in Boston, MA. I still have the ticket stub she saved. My daughter was not a believer in religion even though she grew up in a catholic family. As she grew she went her own way and I understood that this happens. So her service was simple but full of music. Hearing “Into My Arms” beings me back to that moment. My heart, my soul is lost without her. The world I see has not been the same….she is gone. Thank you for your insight and this interview. ❤️🎶🎶🎶☮️

      Don't know, never had or lost a child, but of course mother is a mother, but father is still a father... I think it is an actual job of the fathers, like Nick Cave in this instance, to somehow manly carry his grieve inside and aside, so that the mother can have more space to grieve. Just a thought, from a man. That's how we kind of tend to operate, at our best.

      I lost my only daughter when she was 20 years old, 20 years ago. That day the sun dimmed, the moon wept with sorrow and the stars fell down around her with our tears.
      It was 10 years before I could think of her without tears. It is a long road. Cry when you need to, rage when you must. Always remember that this too will pass, the happy and the sad.
      May you find strength. Sending you love and understanding.

    When did you last see a person of his stature be completely authentic as a mere mortal like the rest of us. When did you last hear of someone like Mr Cave read all the letters sent to him on the Red hand files? This man is our national treasure and we are the richer for it. His humility rises above any other trait he may have and he lays open his frailty like I have never seen someone famous do. He is real ,he is human and he is authentic. Thank you for a glimpse into your world and please keep inspiring us by walking amongst us as we deal with our grief, our gratitude and our wishes. You do this with your music and your website. You are the coolest

    Grief never really goes away, it sits in the pit of my stomach until a memory or a favourtie song comes on the radio and I am transported back to a very, very sad time. I am still me, but I am different and as I have become older, I reflect on those that I have lost and have found as the years haved passed, not only their voices, but also their faces have become blurry in my mind. My Labrador, Lucy helped me so much through my pain, when we had to say goodbye, I noticed a smudge mark from where she rubbed herself on the living room wall, I never wiped it off. Even when the room was painted, that area had to be left untouched. Those of you who have been touched by loss will understand why I left that smudge on my wall. I wish Nick well.

We get over things in time, but my heart still aches, sometimes as intensely as the day I buried him. It's agonizing, I cry and ache so deep for him. My baby, my boy, my favorite person on the planet, my best friend, my strongest love, my joy in life, now beyond my reach. God, please let me be with him in death. Reuniting with him in death is what I live for.

When he was singing, it felt like it was the first time he'd sung those songs, regardless of how old and familiar they were, because his emotion was so intense, and that emotion transferred directly to me, my partner and the audience. It was epic, moving, inspiring and just awesome to be a part of.

    I've been devoted to this man's music for at least two decades - and I was compelled but a little cooler to it for the two before that, starting from around the time when he was living and working in Berlin. This interview is a worthy tribute to how much he's grown as an artist, and how much he's evolved as a human being. He remains an inspiration, even more so in the latter sense now. The interviewer has done a wonderful job in bringing both facets to the foreground with this conversation.

    In 5 days of my posting this, it will be 3 months since my mother died, both suddenly and unexpectedly. I am a devout, practicing Greek-Catholic, to the point of my even spending time living in a Ukrainian Catholic monastery for a period.
    With that said, while mine and Nick’s approaches to and identification with the Christian religion is different than my own, I find such peace and solace in this interview within my own current state of grief.
    I remember when Skeleton Tree first came out, I immediately found great peace and beauty amongst the despair, and I still do today. I remember being blessed to see the accompanying film, One More Time With Feeling, while visiting a friend in Prague; and, how, upon the conclusion of the film, my friend and I sat there in near total silence, both just contemplating the various losses that we’ve dealt with in our own lives.

      Good old triple zed ❤. That would have been before Double J became Triple J radio too, yeah? Haha it was such a big deal. The Aussie subcultures were the best, because we were all so fierce but in such a small population, we all misfits and rebels had to hang out together, or there only would have been 5 people at anyone’s show. I really miss the mainstream/rebel divide, so full of energy and creative output

My heart goes out to him, and all of us who deal with grief. Heard a great quote once, "grief is just love with no place to go." However, we learn we can still love and strongly for those no longer next to us. Keep that love alive.

    He and his music are constants on my playlist I’ve been a fan since being introduced as a teenager 40yrs ago. Some songs resonate with me while others not so much and others well the message or the darkness are too much for me to deal with in one sitting let’s say, but works in progress. Thank you Leigh for your direct and poignant style which allows the subject to interview themselves at time. Nick is a fascinating character and an Australian music icon. Breathless is very much a favourite I happen to find myself singing along to quite regularly.

    Seeing Nick say in 1997 how easy it is to be a good father brings back memories. I felt the same way for a very brief period. I think fathers often neglect just how much of their slack is picked up by the Mothers of their children or in a worst case scenario, by nobody. I had absolutely zero male role models growing up, I had a father but he wasn't a role model and I didn't like or love him. I didn't particularly like men or myself. Being a good father is not easy for me, but it is everything for me.

    I first met Nick Cave in 1994 and he was such a total different person. His ego then was monumental that people closest to him were having a hard time staying friends with him. I witnessed him being very belligerent and confrontational if he was merely just bored. Still an interesting and at times very funny guy. I think when he married Susie he became a different man and seemed more humble and kind to his fans finally as he could be snarky in the past. Beautiful how a beautiful spirit of woman can make the most stubborn men be humbled by love. He is almost a total opposite of 70s to 90s Cave it’s actually pretty remarkable. Instead of kicking people in the face of people of the front row he now hugs and makes kindly contact . Susie is an amazing lady.

It left little room for manoeuvre, the interview with Stephen Colbert was a real lesson in how to approach the subject.

    Nick's been a huge part of my life since I was kid - I first saw him on Top Of The Pops performing with Kylie - I was so fascinated by this strange, tall guy with the lowest voice I'd heard at that point. He was always on late night music shows as I was growing up, I loved how different his music was in contrast to the other acts, and I realised I was getting drawn to it. I finally saw him on the Dig Lazarus Dig tour and would go to multiple dates on all the subsequent tours, until life got busier. I've not seen him perform for a few years now, and while he seems to have become really close to his audience (particularly those that write to him) I've slightly slipped away, but watching this tonight has been a lovely reminder of how much I love his work, and I really need to spend some quality time with the new record.
