Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus, 2004
Written by Nick Cave
When Cave writes a love song, he damn well makes everyone on Earth join in. "The sky of daytime dies away / And all the earthly things they stop to play / For we are all breathless without you." Over a blend of baroque pop and tunes from timeless English ballads comes a flow of images tumbling over one another and tumbling straight out of Romantic Age Christian hymns. "The happy hooded bluebells bow / And bend their heads all a-down." Come to think of it, is this song delivered to a woman or to a child or to God? Maybe yes.
