Ghosteen
by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I am ~100 albums into this weird odyssey. This is the first time I am writing anything. This album just moved me. The backstory is so tragic. Son dies. Devastated father tries to make sense of a child's passing. I felt compelled to write because I know some will play this without context and may miss the brilliance. It's atmosphere and depth. Hollywood could possibly be the most amazing song I have heard in my older years. It's Stairway to Heaven mixed with Dylan's stream of consciousness with pure Nick Cave brittleness. BTW, I was so into it, I listened to Carnage and Australian Carnage (live version of many of these songs). Anyway, I get it if it's not for you. But if you are even slightly intrigued, give it a second listen.
