Nick Cave Monday #6: "The Weeping Song"

Do you ever have one of those days where you just need to cry your eyes out?

There’s no better soundtrack for your sobs than “The Weeping Song.”

Watch the video as it makes weeping a positive experience when Nick and Blixa are on the boat on fake water.

How much fun is it to see Nick and Blixa dance together?

Let’s weep together with some live footage:

Isn’t Blixa’s voice sexy? He is the lead singer of Einsturzende Neubauten and has spent decades as a front man himself.

What do you do when Blixa leaves The Bad Seeds and you need to perform it live?

Hell, Nick just sings both parts of the song. Check him out in 2009:

“The Weeping Song” was released in 1990 on The Good Son. We’ll definitely revisit that release in future Nick Cave Mondays.

Let’s check out a live version from 2001:

Crying is fun if you do it with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
