Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms
Well since 'tis the season and such, you can take this as my official Christmas post. I'm sure anyone who reads a large number of mp3 blogs is more than sick of hearing a bunch of well known indy favorites cover "Jingle Bells" or whatever. So for the Christmas post, instead of a song that actually has anything to do with Christmas, I thought I'd go with one of my all time favorite love songs. When he's not beating journalists shitless for declaring him "lord of the goths" or writing sick songs about cowboys, Nick Cave is known for using his deep and harsh voice to give us all that warm dash of loving sentiment that we all enjoy so much. "Into My Arms" is the opener from his album "The Boatman's Call" and it's a lovely tale about his feelings for a religious woman of some variety. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms

This is REALLY one of the greatest recordings of all time. Great music, great lyrics, great performance.
I had always put off Nick Cave because of his "evil" rep/hype, but when I heard this at a music store I was stunned to find it was him.
That whole CD is great, but I have only tried one other of his and while it was OK, it was not the stunningly great thing that "Boatman's Call" was. What's another one he did that is similar to The Boatman's Call?
