the secret life of...

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds | The Boatman's Call, 1997


"Love songs that attach themselves to actual experience, that are a poeticising of real events, have a beauty unto themselves. They stay alive in the same way memories do and, being alive, they grow up and undergo changes and develop. If a song is too weak to do that, if it is lacking in sufficient stamina and the will to endure, sadly, it will not survive. You'll come home one day and find it dead in the bottom of its cage. Its soul will have been reclaimed and all that will remain is a pile of useless words."

Nick Cave, in The secret life of the love song - The complet lyrics 1978 - 2013
