Nick Cave Quotes About Songwriting

• One thing that I'm really interested in is the kind of esoteric detail that surrounds these great figures. And Wikipedia is full of that kind of stuff, whether it's true or untrue.

Es el canto de la amante que necesita a su amado, el delirio del lunático suplicante que implora a su Dios... La canción de amor es el sonido de nuestros esfuerzos por asemejarnos a Dios, por elevarnos por encima de lo terrenal y lo mediocre.
