Edward Nicholas, or Nick Cave, frontman of the Bad Seeds, I have always been filled with intrigue, as a subject with elegant styling and sophisticated clothing can fill their letters of blood, murder and violence?, well Cave is not only that, it is much more than just murder, is a composer full of melancholy and realism, it transmits feelings pure and intact in their songs, their gender, misunderstood in the alternative environment, is a mixture of folk-tinged rock, jazz, but blending the melancholy and drama of his compositions, several of them, piano-based ...
His two masterpieces, in my opinion, are Murder Ballads (1996) and The Boatman's Call (1997), the first in a very creative period of the Cave, the second in a time of maturity and transition ...
MURDER BALLADS: First we have this record, violent, crude, dirty, which contains works such as the macabre Stagger Lee, the duet with Kylie Minogue Where The Wild Roses Grow, you would a big hit, a cover of Bob Dylan, The Death Is Not The End , and the subject who sang with his then girlfriend, PJ Harvey, Henry Lee, all with one concept: death, murder and tragic endings ...
THE BOATMAN'S CALL: And after this successful experiment, we have this sad and melancholic album, full of beautiful lyrics and music less strident, The Bad Seeds had finally adapted to the mood of Nick Cave, and after these breaks ( including PJ Harvey), get this album whose lyrics inspired by such failures are dedicated to their partners, as West Country Girl, Black Hair and Green Eyes were dedicated to Harvey, while others were engaged in Viviane Carneiro, we also have the sad theme Into My Arms, which he sang at the funeral of Michael Hutchence in the same year ...
really depressing, but not be easy to be an elegant man singing "Dig Lazarus Dig!" with a huge mustache in the middle of 2008, or be named one of the best dressed men of 2009 ...
