This is a stunning recording from one of the true living legends NICK CAVE — stunning in the sense of its quality and its combination of philosophical soliloquy and heartbreaking music.

This release combines two spoken-word pieces, one from the Vienna Poetry Festival and one from a BBC religion program. God, madness, mourning, love, and wisdom are all explored here, with musical interludes on the first piece, "The Secret Life of the Love Song" that show the end product of all of this musing.

Cave's words are like silent weights that sneak up and land in your lap, paralysing you with their beauty and heft in a way that only occasionally happens with the songs that he has issued over the last 20 years.

Beautifully packaged in a hardback CD book. After this is released, this item will be deleted worldwide! Last chance to secure this HIGHLY collectable item.

Estimated despatch 14-20 days after ordering.
