I firmly believe that Nick Cave is at his peak when he writes his softer, more intimate songs. Much as I love his more abrasive rock songs...they can get a bit over the top.
And to me...there is nothing more beautiful than him and a piano.
The Ship Song

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Into My Arms

I don't believe in an interventionist god
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
(all of the lyrics of this song are beautiful...but the first two lines always hit me)
