The first release from 'Skeleton Tree' sees Nick and Co. in intense, reflective mood. The song is a kind of hybrid of Tupelo and Jubilee Street. I like it. Fingers crossed the rest of the album is as good.

I might well be posting lots of music on this blog today, I'm in the mood for music! Here's the first, a track from a musical hero of mine but from an album that I have struggled to get my head around. I'm mellowing...but it's a slow process.

My all-time favourite musician covering my all-time favourite songwriter. Is there a better line in music than 'Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water'?

For Nick Cave's son Arthur. Such terrible news. Rest in peace, young man.

He may have gone off the boil in a big way but this still remains one of the greatest tunes ever written. It brings me to tears every time I hear it.
