Nick Cave on faith, grief, and music: The Newsnight Interview

The singer songwriter Nick Cave, best known for fronting his band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, talks to BBC Newsnight. 
 
The artist talks about the death of one of his fifteen-year-old twin sons, Arthur, seven years ago, and how he has addressed loss and grief through music, particularly his hugely lauded album Ghosteen. 
 
He talks about his new book, Faith Hope and Carnage, which is distilled from a series of telephone conversations during lockdown between Cave and journalist Sean O’Hagan, in which the musician talks about questions of belief, faith, grief, love and his music. 
 
In a rare TV interview, Kirsty Wark also hears about his project, The Red Hand Files, in which he solicits questions online and then responds to the ones which pique his interest with advice and musings which are often tender, and sometimes funny.

  1. The whole staging of his own life's destiny is really getting on your nerves when you know that Mr Cave doesn't give a damn about the mass murder of children in Palestine by Zionists and is involved in Israel for shabby, vulgar money.

  2. Just looking Kylie Mini I recall when my Aunty had her Breasts lopped off when she was a centenarian. It happened at a clinic on the Centenary Highway near the Yummy, Yummy of Love at Mt Ommaney paddy Ohm. The Butter soothed the savage beast and she deceased not long afterwards. It was another Sun Bears of Guantanamo Joke.

    I think that may have sealed everyones fate that day. Her Husband was involved in the withdrawal of Troops from Vietnam in his Posting with the Queensland Parliament.

    I dare say they will be redacting everything now to try and save their own lives. They just don't realize how horrid many people feel about it all.

  3. They had no choice. They had to remove her Colon in the knick of Time vis a vis Tik Tok of the Mozart Joke in Le Nozze de Figaro. My feeling is that it's great opera; But, I think it has played enough in Brisbane and We need something from the 18-17 th Century. I'm quite fond of Maestro Alessandro Scarlatti.

    This joke goes all the way back to the Pyramids;)

  4. The problem with the Antisemitic Movement is that it attempts to topple the regime from the top down vis a vis provocation to cause linked to public execution of State Officials. This was the problem with Baader Meinhoff. They wanted the biggest slice in the finite Life of the Pie. There can only be one pie with a limited number of slices. They didn't want a little piece when really the sweetest fish are the small ones. They wanted the big Cat Fish in the pond. They wanted Moby Dick. They thought they could do a Dr Jim Jones and extract Jonah from the Whale before He had even been conceived. They went too far back in sequence of futurology using the linguistic modeling advocated in the humour of humors described in the Frankfurt School vis a vis the Saveloys.

    For their exuberance they were granted a chocolate wrapper held within what was the Laxette. It was required as part of Ulrick Meinhoff's diet in Prison while doing Porridge after the attempts to reacculturate her outlook on Life using remodelling of the Temporal Lobe via cautical lesion therapy. The Laxettes didn't work properly after the surgery and she dropped her guts everywhere. The Surgeons were left with no choice but to whip out the Large Colon this way:

    1.Keyhole inside of Anus to flip the large colon inside out to create a torus. It involved anal tears;
    2. She didn't cry because she was given a prophylaxtic via a liquid mixture of Barium with Laxette Paste to create the Anime of an Enema;
    3. The anatomical Artist was called in to do a rendering of the Colon extracted from the Abdominal Cavity;
    4. Once the charcoal drawing of the Colon was attained the image was sent off to BBC Studios in London for the creation of a papier mache large Colon.

    It resembled Mortadella in size and shape in the form of a paper model.

    Signed,
    Robert per Uncle Arthur.

  5. Beautifully articulated. For any one of us in this world who feels lonley ,displaced ,or ingnored the church has a special resonance . We feel the peace of God in our hearts in the place he is celebrated
