RIP Peter Higgs. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Absolute respect to Peter Higgs. RIP ❤
Science, science and poetry
True
Half poetry, half rambling mad man. Just the way I like it!
Can’t remember anything at all…
You know a song's good when people aren't even talking about the song. They're just talking about their lives.
Sublime. Thank you for putting a much needed full stop after all the quackery
Classic comment!
100% agree man, this song doesn't relate to me personally but a good song isn't about the music all the time.

Well-put
Nick Cave's maturity as a musician just amazes me. How he went seamlessly from Murder Ballads to this song is a tribute to his talent.
So trueee
or if you look the birthday party era compared to this, needles to say i love them both
What make you think this isn't a murder ballad? It's all the same iconography.
I saw the Tender Prey tour, and if he'd played this as the encore, it would've felt like the resolution in the battle for his soul.
@@ThePwebb its an album title, not a musical description...
@@ThePwebb I mean, this abstract song writing is definitely a different style than the more straightfoward storytelling on Murder Ballads. Both great in their own way.
'Seeing nick cave live is as near a religious experience as you will get!'
Saw them last night and I absolutely agree. I've seen hundreds of gigs but Nick Cave's intensity and presence is totally next level stuff. If anyone is thinking of seeing them live, please do!
@@Nikoych Same here.
Agree, just saw him at Hanging Rock last Friday..
Try going to church.
Number 2 . . . Nick Cave.
I wish it was
When I went to see him live everyone had LGBT flags everywhere, felt like I was in Sodom.
Never went to any live concerts after that one, that really discouraged me.
there's nothing better than when an artist you have loved for years keeps making you proud. this is amazing
Yep see New Dawn Fades
An artist becomes the art. Its not just an artist, its encountable number of partictles thats feeds and helps your soul growing, both, the wrong and the right way...
In this case, its Nick fucking Cave, pure art n artist in its origins...

Cold syberian night, Bacardi Black & Nick Cave)))
A dog end from the garden( #quit smoking fails ) coffee , existential sorrow and Nick Cave
This is Cave's "Desolation Row". Absolute poetic and lyrical masterpiece.
Today I found out that my best friend has commited suicide. What a decent fella he was/is. Thank you so much for so many happy memories with you. You were for me like brother. Thank you for introducing me into Nick Cave music and what is more thank you for taking me at his unforgettable concert in 12.11.2017 in Zurich. I never forget your big smile during that performance, espescially when we get on the stage with other bunch of people to sing with Mr. Cave. You didn' care about your phone, which fell out from your pocket, while we were climbing to a stage. What a memory... Now I'm listening all the song from that concert and think back to our best and worse times together. About our plans for the future. Now everything is gone, I feel so devastated and shattered into milion pieces. I wish I could save you. Thank you brother. Thank you for the best time in my life with you. See you someday, on the otherside in the better place I think.
Thank you my brother. Rest in Peace
I now have chills, bless you. I recognize this loss.
May he rest in peace.
Stay strong!!
I hope you are doing well and know you have love coming your way x
Sometimes someone can be in such pain.
That even the reasening from a best friend can be infain.
Leaving the ones behind feeling from time to time almost insane.
damn
Fucking goose bumps from beginning to end on this song. 9 Minutes, it could be 20 and still not long enough.
Yes, me and my dad both love his songs, I don't relate to every lyric fully but the feeling hits me harder than few other artists.
What's he singing about?
to make such a song, and such an album as "Push the Sky Away" after a long and exceptional career is really a rare thing. A true artist of our times, and hats off to the Bad Seeds, in all their incarnations.
I saw him live and touched his chest as he sang ' Can you feel my heartbeat ' Exquisite moment..
+Tracey Redmond Jelly!
My envy is real.
Should have grabbed Nick's hand and reverse the scene!
Was that you from the movie "20,000 days on Earth" then?
.
He always looked like a mad preacher to me. Love you Nick, I had your back till the casket close
So Fucking good, Mr Cave and Co are like Red Wine, they just get better with age.
Wine is only getting better when it's not opened, 'm happy Mr Cave hasn't locked himself up...
I don't agree i VE SEEN the BP. 6 x times. And there was 5 People and a dog. And the bad SEEDS. NEVER where as good. Listen please. Yes i love this song. BUT honestly. Listen. He sounds 90 +. Horrific
No. His voice is terrible
I appreciate that they actually recorded the music played during the filming of this video instead of just pasting the studio track over the top of the visuals. It's like having a studio-quality live version of this song!
Just learned
And it’s the best version, they’re all great, but this is the first one I heard, and it’s in my top ten songs ever
That's what I thought!
I don't why, but Nick has replaced my need for reading. I can't read anymore and I used to live for it but now I can't concentrate enough... I have developed very serious mental health problems but through your voice and words Nick I'v found a channel through my darkness, one that takes me from alone too connection. x
The only still unexplored, man's soul..
As an entity, they are healers in the truest sense
This is such a masterpiece of how to deliver a song that builds mood, intensity, drama - even though musically it's so simple. And yet just brilliant.

The dynamics between the vocals and guitar is PERFECT in this performance. Very evocative
" you are the best girl , ... I ever had " , ............ this is the best Song , ..... I ve ever heard .
I discovered Nick Cave while playing live in the Mijas Costa Festival 2022.
The best discovery of this year... to learn about this man for the first time by accidentally attending to one of his concerts.
At first, when I arrived to the festival that day and heard his music from the distance, it shocked me that this music style was being played, as the rest of the artists' music style was different.
The main performer was The Artic Monkeys. Other artists I knew that went were Chet Faker, Nathy Peluso, Royksopp, Bonobo, The Chemical Brothers and some others, so the music I expected was different to what Nick & his team does.
But as I got closer to his stage, his music stunned me. Everything was outstanding, his performance, his chorus, his team, his multi-instrument player wizzard... I was amazed.
I could feel everyone feeling the huge and inmense passion infused in the music. The quality was magnificent, and the experience so magical, that no one will ever understand no matter how I explain it.
In my opinion, he was the best artist that performed in that festival.
Yep they are that good Mate see Glastonbury
@@leebutton1062 will do
probably
Incredible. One can't casually listen to Cave. It draws your full attention. For me its like reading a book. I can't do anything else.
Sure I listen to his music... but it is obvious this song is a joke ..the guitarist tuning is off, on purpose...everything is wrong about and in this song!
as a musician myself I do not share your experience.
But I am very curious about what kind of books do you read?
@@MarekMirocha have another listen to his music and think about what jokes are, there might be more to life than correctly tuned guitars. you are not a musician if that's all you care about.
@@glypto-vision8401 you are clearly missing the clue.
Agreed 100%
That's exactly what makes him so amazing, isn't it? He's a storyteller. I listen to Red Right Hand and I am transported to a postapocalyptic and devious world more than when I am playing Fallout.
I'm high af right now. I can barely make out the lyrics, but this song feels exactly how talking to God feels
let God out of any drugs please .....
I can feel the curvature of spacetime when I listen to this.
underrated comment
Nick Cave is channeling the holy spirit here. And the way Warren Ellis plays guitar is transcendent. Beautiful.
U2 should take a look at these guys and learn how to grow old in music with grace and style.
As a massive U2 fan who has seen them live 11 times (including in Dublin... twice), I couldn’t agree more. Nick Cave & Co. have not only accepted their being older, they have done so with the kind of grace and class that can only best be described as confidence. That is how they are still able to keep cranking out quality music, from Dig Lazarus Dig down to Skeleton Tree (with some Grinderman thrown in for good measure). While some of U2’s latter music hasn’t been bad, it’s a far cry from their artistic peaks of, say, Achtung Baby (their best, imo), though it’s obvious that, with each recording period, they’re desperately striving to hold onto their relevance. Sad thing is, judging by their ability to still sell out arenas and stadiums, they’re more than relevant; it’s sad, because U2 seems to judge their relevance by how popular their newer music is. The net result is a constant attempt at trying to write music that speaks to the crappy quality zeitgeist of today that’s so popular on the airwaves. If U2 simply focused on writing quality music, regardless if it lands on the radio, I’m more than confident that we could get another Zooropa (their last real edgy album, along with Pop).
U2 aren't a proper band.
I do not agree. U2 still make great artistic pieces that would never be played on mainstream radios.
@@GuadalupePicasso Totally agree with everything you write here. Still follow U2, and suspect that will never change, but their insistence on measuring the value of their music in economic terms (chart placings, sales) has put them on a path where it seems highly unlikely that they will ever achieve anything close to what they did.
well Bono got himself into the Pedo group. his wife even divorced him. Greed and owned is what he is. I tossed all my US in the trash. him and Willem Dafoe.
My preferred artists have always something in common: I hate their aesthetics until it creeps under my skin and become part of my life.
MY GOD! THIS IS A PERFECT SONG!!! GREETINGS FROM ATHENS, GREECE.

@@iliastakidis5771 yahsoo, been following Cave and the seeds for 30 years. This song and clip still blows me away when iI see it. Rumour has it that Nick could not be on stage during the intro. The reason he walks onto the set. Dont know why, best ask him. He is the best frontman in the Business.
Επ
Αγαπάμε Nick Cave :)
Je n'ai jamais rien ressenti d'aussi fort qu'en écoutant chanter Nick Cave. Plus que la musique, plus que la littérature, plus que la poésie, plus que le cinéma, plus que la peinture, Nick Cave est en lui-même une expérience unique qui dépasse tous les arts. Déroutant, vous rentrer dans son monde sans vouloir en sortir.
100% daccord avec toi!
To me, every Nick Cave song is filled with emotion. But there is something different about this piece. It feels so raw, you can hear the intensity and the emotion in his voice with every line he sings. Breathtakingly exquisite
The percussion on this song is phenomenal.
As always. The bad seeds deliver. Widler the drummer.
Jim Sclavunos is the drummer on this rendition, Wydler was unable to tour this album due to ill health. This is a completely new recording cut live in the studio when filming this video.
But Thomas is perfect, too...
As is the bass, as always. Casey is a minor deity.

An anthem for the dystopian future that is already upon us, as we wander this earth aimlessly like hungry ghosts
My top 5 greatest singer/song writers of all time are (in no particular order); Nick cave, Tom Waits, Ray Charles, David Bowie and Johnny Cash. All absolute legends of music and art in general.
Agree
IAN CURTIS..!
What a great song!!! Again and again goosebumps! Some days I need that ten times in a row..... His movements accompany his singing, his voice is unique, pure poetry!
Look at me now is the stunning lyric more !
I really enjoy getting older with Nick Cave. It's been almost 30 years and still his work covers most of my life's moments!!! Thank you Mr Cave!!!!
Indeed
So true. He and I seem to have evolved our thinking in similar ways.
Same here, Natalia. I discovered him in 1987 in the film "Wings of Desire."
@@scottcurrie oh. That's late. It was in Johnny suede with brad Pitt. Should check out his book. The ass saw the angel. And the bday party.
Nick cave told me you were a dumbass
I never want this song to end
Thank you Quantum Break and Remedy for bringing me to this awesome music.
Hes got that thing that few have anymore. That electricity a true rock star like Jim Morrison possessed.
Nine minutes and fifteen seconds. God, how times flies listening to this,
Saw Nick Cave in London last month, best concert ever, an artist at the very top of his game - he sang Higgs Boson Blues, poetry in motion.
This is definitely one of the best music pieces I ever heard. I'm speechless.
These boys simplify life. From the lyrics, to the softest instrument. Everything is just perfect.
I have no idea what you're talking about Nick, but it sounds pretty fucking fantastic.
+1
Sorry to hear about your son Nick..
No matter what.. no matter where.. the sun will shine again tomorrow..
Probably one of the darkest days in his life. I really hope he is surrounded by love and support.
Yeah, its so sad, that poor child :( It does sound like Nick's starting to come back, but it was always gonna be a long journey back from the desert of grief, especially with a man as emotionally. sensitive as Mr Cave.
for that distant sky...
The Sun shines only as often as it does Not! that's just a fact... also what I am hearing. Nick Cave is a fundamentalist, and he is not!
Have you ever walked in the sun and feel cold and grey?
I love this song sooo much! Nick Cave is legendary!!
Fucking Amazing!!!!
Thanks for Posting!!!!
He has sustained such a high quality during his now lengthy career and his choice of musicians is unsurpassed.
Vaughn Abbott every member of Bad Seeds is incredible in their own right.
Look at anything Warren Ellis is involved in and it'll be good. Nick's a bit of an old whaler with a decent turn of phrase but he's never had that really clear spark of brilliance.
What planet am I on where people can write, apparently in all seriousness, that Nick Cave "never had that really clear spark of brilliance" ????? Don't get me wrong, I've loved Warren since 1994 with Dirty Three but get the fuck out of here man. A bit of an old whaler? Does that make you a bit of an old dipshit, or is Nick hunting whales now? A "decent turn of phrase" !!!!! It gets worse every time I look at it, please delete your shame.
@@truefunksoul8638 Oath! Hard to think of another artist with such a numinous eccentricity quite like Nick Cave. His voice, his lyrics, everything... brilliant. Transcendent.
A glimpse into a dark thin smoke intensity of an emotionally eclipsed distant world and one man's moment in time there.
RIP Sir Peter... such a great person...😢
Calls out the trash that we have become, LOVE THIS
oh, man, this feels like a movie... feels awesome...
Ageless as old growth in a child's eye..bosons are pure force. BOOM BOOM. CRY CRY CRY. children see the river thunder out of new eyes. Eyes ancient. Time from 1987 to 2024 has been instant its a spiritual groove. We die every night.
only heard of nick cave the other day I bought 3 cd's yesterday im hooked
i would start pirating if i was you, could get expensive. Just make sure to be at their show when they come that's my motto if i respect and enjoy an artist
Green_Mind You don`t pirate Nick Cave.
that's always how it works. the man is a musical god
Theresa Leclair i still remember that one festival when i had the oportunity to see him on stage. the feeling when he steped out, i remember thinking "man, that's nick cave right there."
the memory feels good even tho it was a festival, it was the only time i saw him.
he is electric that's for sure, I loose all when I listen, joe cocker, as well
he's my support and the only artist/person who truly understands me and that through poetry on the right music HE will help me with my demons
He has never heard of you
I'm reminded on my birthday, that 30 years ago I watched a young punk fronting a band called Birthday Party at La Dolce Vita, Lausanne, Switzerland. Nick Cave is like port, just gets better.
so jealous right now
You're so f...lucky. I'm drooling of envying you for that show!!!
Me too in Toronto.
Saw the BP two nights running in Brisbane. Second night was in a disco
Nick walked across people's table's in the booths 😂
@@ted-hitchcock lo
Every time I listen I wish it was longer.
Same.
This version is so much better than the album version. All the live versions are. They really figured out how this monster of a song would be.. not tamed, but handled.
I concur
The poetry is religious to experience.
+Igy St. Igy I'm an atheist, yet this song was magical... spiritual, even.

Wonderful comment
A friend asked me if I've heard about the Higgs Boson and I, enthusiastically said, wow you like Nick Cave too? He looked at me with a confused face, for the higgs boson could mean the nick cave song or the most mysterious particle in the universe. I have only recently discovered the second term and it pretty much sums up the power mr. Cave holds in the pop cultute.
4.10.2017 Paris. Zenith. Magic concert. My best in life.
i must say i was stoned as hell when i watched 20000 days on earth, but the shivers I felt when they played this in the movie was something beyond anything!
great trip, excellent movie and splendid song.
I remember the exact scene. Stoned and amazed by this masterpiece.
Nick Cave is so tormented, I guess that's why he creates such beautiful music
Well he was a heroin addict
***** good music has nothing to do with addiction
Penny Lane he makes sure His Inspiration Muse never leaves him. and the natural gift talent was just within... since the start.
year and years and years ago. Song after songs after songs... A SIMPLE THING really.
Very Dark Blues Astonishing
Literally the greatest song title ever!
Something really special about this piece.
Deep melancholic melody makes my soul soar to new depths, pain to bliss of acceptance of all that is.
Back to our roots, this was the time when we had handmade music
And feeling made music
what an amazing performer and song writer nick cave is, he writes songs that others couldn't even understand with the lyrics in front of them, touching on some very interesting themes.
Whatever You will say...Masterpiece
Wow...What a Blues
Pure class, and breathtaking live. In a world full of mindless drivel something like this comes along and reminds you music is an ART form.
I met right person on the wrong bus yesterday. Came home, found this song and can't stop thinking about her and the world going wrong ways.
What a fucking masterpiece.
That was unreal. Nick Cave is on another level.
I guess all the scientist on Geneva felt the same excitement when they discovered the Higgs Boson as I did when I discovered Nick Cave.
A poet, singer, and showman! One of my all time favourite acts to see live. I love it when bands sound just as good live, and thats why i love nick cave!
You cant be cooler then Nick
Push the sky away is a masterpiece
this has some balls.
Back vocals are ...
Brutal. ..
this is just beyond everything. I can't stop listening to it.
"It's hot, it's hot, that's why they call it a hotspot". You really do learn something new everyday. ;)
One of the best artists nowadays...
Ребята, это невероятная песня, последние две строчки просто сносят мозг. На самом деле, кого волнуют какие-то глобальные вещи, когда на самом деле думаешь о девушке, которую любишь!
awesome. where has this guy been all my life. just found him when I heard about his son dying in the news. didn't know who he was so here I am.
+davidallenroth welcome to the deep dark glory of Nick.
+The Mudpit That's fuckin tasteless man.
Benjamin Smith Tasteless? Hmmm.... Was it unintended innuendo?

I think we all have a level of Higgs Boson Blues now... the world has gone completely off its head.. Love Nick Cave...
Mary-Ellen Peters Haha. This comment is even more intensely true than it were a year ago.
@@seanwalsh3979 You're on the money there for sure .. things are pretty grim control wise.
adore you Nick . thank you for so many years
Reminds me the same kind of song he used to write in the 80's...like "Stranger than kindness"...Love it !!! Haunted, dark, the Bad Seeds at their best, please, Blixa, comme back to play again with Nick...
Saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds on stage for the first time in London in October 1988, three days after he was released from a rehab drug clinic...What a concert !!! After 3 songs, he started to play some "BIRHTDAY PARTY songs...Won't never forget this gig...Saw him again in April 2008 in Marseille...Different times, different music, but still very poweful...Cave was playing the guitar at that time, and he was sporting a moustache as well. The band and him played "Dig Lazarus Dig" album plus some classics...Wasn't so impressed compared to the concert I saw in 88 in London. Would like to see him playing the songs from the last album "Push the Sky Away"...
I completely agree with you for the first comment ... regarding the second comment, I can only envy you for the concert of '88...i was only seven year... I also loved the Birthday Party and in the year 1988, there were just come out my favorite albums of the Bad Seeds ... Tender Pray, From Her to Eternity, Kicking Against the Pricks, The Frirstborn Is Dead and Your Funeral ... My trial (perhaps two of my favorites of all?) ... I also really like the rest of their discography, although there was the period from 2000 until recently that I loved only a few pieces present in those albums.
The Grinderman was better for that period! But with Push The Sky Away, where I saw them live for the first time after 17 years of unconditioned love, in my opinion are back to the time that I told you at the beginning ... a total blow to the heart, for me .. .
I actually discovered Nick Cave with the Wim Wenders's movie :"Wings over Desire"...He sang "From Her to Eternity" and I was very impressed. Then I listened "Kicking Against the Pricks", but I wasn't probably ready for that kind of music at that time. The big break came with "Tender Prey", and then I became a fan. This concert in London in 88 was something. I got all Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds records and the 2 Grinderman as well. I am not too fond of "Nocturama", "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Morpheus". At that time, he was a bit stuck with a sort of formula PIANO/VOICE. I don't know if you saw the movies "The propositon" and "Lawless" directed by John Hillcoat, both scripts were written by Nick Cave.
I have also found out Nick when I saw Wings of Desire (I soon realized that he was one of the two guys that I saw a little girl on MTV, when it passed the video of the Weeping Song, but I was 10 years old and those two attracted me and disturbed in the same time, but I could not wait to see them again ...), but I was 14/15 years in '95 / '96 and then when I started listening to his discography the album that I had available are more than you, and initially I felt even closer to albums like Let Love In or Murder Ballads or The Boatman's Call .... then, perhaps also due to the facts that have happened to my life and to my ear for music that changed and grew, I got closer more to the period of '80s...
I have just listened to the tracks he did at "LIVE FROM KCRW", just love it...You also wrote a comment about "Stranger than Kindness" (in my top 5 for sure), written by Anita Lane. So, what is the difference of this version of "Higgs Boson Blues" compared to the one on the album? This one is bit longer (9 min 15 sec), the one from the studio album being 7 min 50 sec. Recently, he has opened his music field by doing collaboration with "The Flaming Lips" and "U.N.K.L.E", 2 bands I am absolutely fond of...
I saw him live. He signed my book in the end of the gig in 2010!!! =D
Just now discovering Nick Cave. Really groovin’ on it. I think if you like Tom Waits, you’d like Nick Cave.
My father told me, he met Nick Cave in Berlin in the 90s. Dad had a hangover and Nick was still stoned as fuck, they barley spoke a word sitting at the bar together smoking Cigarettes
I'd love to watch them :)
Originally on a Tenor Guitar with the following Tuning for Standard Guitar:
Lower E and high D are optional (since the original guitar consists of four strings) You can also mute them, but the F# makes it a little "bassier"
F# G D A D D
Chords:
Bm : 5 4 4 0h2 0 x/0
A: 3 2 2 0 0 x/0

Figure out the strumming and the parts ;)
I wish this song was endless
If I die tonight, bury me in my favorite yellow patent leather shoes

can you feel my heartbeat?
can you feel my heartbeat?
Well, it is Nick Cave and it was with me since i can remember. Music matures as i am getting old and it's weird, i liked 'My funeral...' when i was teen and i love this one now when i am a father :)
Seen Nick Cave live twice, both shows included this song and in both cases it was among the highlights. Nick is a real wizzard, in terms of what his charisma is able to do with the audience.... Just amazing. And I´m saying this as a rocker/metalhead. Go see Nick Cave live and you will not be the same again.... :)
Nothing to brighten your day than a N.C song /s
This is the most emotional performance of Higgs Bosun Blues!
Fully agree ! Heart and Soul !
Best song of 2013.
Thank you for your Poetry and music 🎼🎻🎧📼🎤🎭🎹🎵
Can't stop listening this extremely impressive song!!!
Perfect voice, perfect sound, perfect video.
I'm over the moon!
I can't stop listening to it either. You still listening?
I follow Nick Cave since the middle of the"80 es when people didn't really understand his melody but it takes some years to get in your brain.Thank you Nick
That guitar!!!
