Cover art for Slowly Goes the Night lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Good point in the previous post. Although I've recognized a certain exaggeration in the interpretation (as this is not one of his super tender songs later in the career), it overlays so subtle with a sincere invocation of immediate sense of abandonment. Spectacular hommage to the legacy. And the first "So slowly goes the night" (also from the corrected version of the lyrics).. man, the chills! :) Love the way he gets excited through few verses, then suddenly steps back, deflates, exactly as disillusion of getting back together strikes at the forlorn one so painfully, over and over again. From a comfortable distance, one of my favourite lullabies...
