| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Higgs Boson Blues Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Nick Cave's relationship with religion and God has always been quite complex. He was brought up Anglican but didn't identify very much with the God that was presented to him. He talks in lot of his early interviews of a more personal identification with God, removed from the dogmatic trappings of church services. He's also talked a great deal over the years about his doubts, and in one interview said specifically, “I don’t think a person truly believes unless they doubt as well. My faith kind of swells up and subsides”. Whatever his specific beliefs are at any given point in time, he's always drawn inspiration from religion and spirituality in his work, and it's ok to interpret his work through that lens as chances are that really was what he was going for. |

| I don't agree, but I've voted up your comment anyway because it made me chuckle. I doubt it'll make much of a dent in the total downvotes you'll receive from the outraged navel-gazers to whom "this song really MEANS SOMETHING", but there you go. Have a +1 anyway. | |
