Product Description
The Secret Life of the Love Song is Nick Cave's highly original take on his personal artistic muse, and on the genre as a whole. Originally conceived for the Vienna Poetry Festival (1998) and performed to great success and a capacity audience at The Royal Festival Hall, London earlier in 1999, this is a special studio recording. It includes five new and unique recordings of his songs 'West Country Girl', 'People Ain't no Good', 'Sad Waters', 'Love Letter', and 'Far From Me'. The Word Made Flesh is a wholly spoken-word piece, re-recorded, originally conceived and executed for the BBC Religious Services Department in 1996. ... Read more

Brilliant and Wise
These two fine lectures express the soul of the man in ways that his music doesn't. An anomaly in the world of rock / pop / punk, Cave here reveals himself to be articulate, erudite, and thoughtful. Of course, the 5 songs here can be heard elsewhere, so I found them a bit unnecessary.Nevertheless, listening to these lectures enriches any subsequent listening to all of Cave's music, all the way back to the earliest Birthday Party albums. Not only that, they stand alone as discourses full of wisdom from a man who's seen a lot, done a lot, and learned a lot. Rare and valuable.

W
A bit phlegmatic, but the 5 spare songs presented here are worth thewhole pakage. I wish the tracks were divided up so that one could edit the songs out from the spoken text. I imagine this was avoided on purpose so one would be forced to listen to the somewhat intersting(the first time!) ramblings of a one Nick Cave.

As powerful as his music
These were two very powerful lectures by a very powerful performer.Hemanages to make lectures that can appeal to both the Christian andnon-Christian.There is a whole heapload of thought and reflection, and atthe same time there is enough ambiguity that you can take things in twodirections.His second lecture on the bible is amazing in its ability torelate the divine to the mortal.He shows the two intertwined in a waythat they are inseparable, and it takes a lot of effort to try to prove himwrong. ...
