Cover art for Darker with the Day lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Originally, this song symbolized for me many things. Not only his intolerance of the modern world, but the questionable methods of a former faith. ("gilled Jesus on a fisherman's hook") It's hard for me to put my finger on who he was seeing in the garden. Perhaps a woman, or perhaps the light he was looking for. The song is a beautiful ending to a mournful album. I belive that it clearly explains how he hasn't found his answer yet. ("As I search, in and out, above, about, below"). One of my favorite tracks on "No More Shall We Part" Along with "The Sorrowful Wife".
