imperdibles: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call "(1997)

What relationship can have Ray Loriga Björk, late night porn, Lars Von Trier and Nick Cave?

Memories are strange. Sometime in 1999 I paid my friend Irene videotape of those who had been reused several times, which coupled with the fact that the cheapest was doing everything regular saw and heard worse. The last thing he recorded was the film debut of Ray Loriga, La Pistola de mi Hermano , a film that could only fleetingly impress a teenager and wanted her to see. Appeared immediately after a terrible porn movie taking place in the dentist's office and I remember perfectly (the times in which my grandfather had Canal +, the only way to see some explicit sex-sex me then that I did not put), and was cut about halfway revealing what was underneath: Sputnik music videos, basically. Irene fell in love with 'Isobel', Björk and became a staunch supporter of the Icelandic. Therefore, after one year we went together to see Dancer in the Dark by Lars Von Trier (which she starred), and apparently satisfied, repeat feat Dogville the winter of 2003. That night my dark soul not married her, did not like the movie and not in the car wearing it The Boatman's Call of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album that had just discovered and which was completely seduced.

"Love is a state in which I would be continuously. But I know the potential for pain love. It is truly like a drug, rising above the mediocre and putting you in a state of inspiration and imagination, and everything that is outside loses its meaning. The intention of writing this album was to capture the truth of what was happening in these relationships. The songs were written in the period between being happy and in love and see how it all failed. "

( Nick Cave - Daily Telegraph, 1997 )

This record, which was both saddening and disturbing to Irene in a journey of just twenty minutes, is actually the most serene and tender work of Cave until the date of its publication, classical, introspective, warm and thrilling as the breath on the nape of someone who holds you in the back cautiously. No trace of his tendency to create female characters on which to dump all their distrust and ill feeling: in The Boatman's Call , if you speak of heartbreak it comes from a shame firm and without whining, without punishment or revenge, if treated love in its most first-and ecstatic, not their long shadows of predators on a rough wall of mud and stone speaker. I listen and think about the inevitable attraction that any of the actors feel This collection of songs to sing to short distances, behind his back, as I said before, the excitement of feeling that you own to fall back into the arms of something that your hard to forget. And Cave is to recognize love, nostalgia, apologizing or admitting their mistakes in a very romantic ends up being very tempting. Nobody says "lover" as Nick. Previous

the relaxed elegance that sprinkle his subsequent work, this album is a journey musically voice and piano on the Bad Seeds have developed a series of arrangements that are adjusted to privacy as explicit lyrics. The most rousing moment could well be the sound and border tension 'West Country Girl', where the word puzzle captures the uniqueness extravagant woman describes and how he loves ( "The crooked smile and a heart-shaped face / (...) His widow's peak, her lips have kissed / the glove of bones in his wrist "), the same woman bouncing on a ceremonious solemn manner accordion in 'Black Hair' (" All my tears shed on his neck white milk / (...) The smell of her black hair on my pillow where you lay / Today has caught a train to the West "). Love letters, adorned religious details ("There Is A Kingdom" directly questions the figure of God) or stale aftertaste that inflame the passionate quality, show him excited but aware of how fleeting affection without setbacks and really hurt by absences 'Idiot Prayer' and 'Far From Me' (trembling and prisoner of the doubts that threaten to either: "I love to hear you doing so well / But really, no other person you can call to tell? / once you care?'re so far from me ... ").

is the person who had just divorced his wife (and tells wear of a long relationship in 'People Is not No Good' and 'Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere? ", fatal and compassionate) and the caresses which tells who was returning to induce the emotional dynamics of the illusion (' Lime Arbour Tree "). But if anything should stand out as egregious are the pieces that open and close the disc at the ends of the sequencing is not by chance and are basically two ways to break the heart: a person with a beautiful portrait in 'Into My Arms '(Cave in its highest expression of tenderness and vulnerability), and oneself in the shameless plea that is' Green Eyes', the lament in tears alcohol who is not afraid to humiliate himself in exchange for the last crumbs of affection and fleeting like a fish: "Restore to me to kiss and kiss me again / Slide your hand under my shirt / this old bastard does not care if you hurt / (...) So hold me, hold me / in the morning will be wiser than this evening being ". Exhausted, he seems to fall asleep with your memory. Irene

I took home that night, then drove to the mine. We have never again talked about Nick Cave.
