I married my wife on the day of the eclipse
Our friends awarded her courage with gifts
Now as the nights grow longer and the season shifts
I look to my sorrowful wife

    Definitely one of my favorite Cave tracks for certain. Perfectly evocative, absolutely relentless.

    I see exactly what you mean subwersja. There's something about that part... This must be amazing to see live. It must be amazing to PERFORM live. To scream out all that despair we listeners only get to see a glimpse of.

    that one note played on the piano, just before the song climaxes into 'come on help me...', makes me feel like i'm gonna explode of emotion. one note, yet so powerfull. surprising how it is possible to put so much despair into one song.
