Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Jesus Alone Lyrics






You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
You convalesced, you fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid

With my voice
I am calling you

You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

You're an African doctor harvesting tear ducts
You believe in God, but you get no special dispensation for this belief now
You're an old man sitting by the fire, you're the mist rolling off the sea
You're a distant memory in the mind of your creator, don't you see?

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you

Let us sit together in the dark until the moment comes

With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you

    Is that a theremin I hear? That shit takes this up to like, an 11/10. This is like an exorcism. *slow clap*

  7. N.... T....

    That's Art! Unbelievable..... Great.... It goes so deep to the inner. I find no words to explain.

  8. R.... O....

    850 fuckwits thumbed this down.

  9. M.... ....

    Fuck! That song!

  10. T.... C....

    The really sad irony is that he's written about death for so long, probably more than any artist alive.

  11. S.... ....

    Love how he make something sad so beautiful

  12. L.... S....

    Warren is like a sorcerour commanding something none of us simple humans understand.

  13. A.... J....

    No one has been there throughout my life as Nick has been. I cannot even count how many times I saw him perform in Detroit. Once even when he was involved in a scandal for being mugged trying to score. I remember the early 80s and the ‘From Her to Eternity’ tour, watching a Wim Wender’s film and there was Nick: a powerful player. Smoking weed with Belxia and now Warren. Nick always raises standards. He is that intense. He never ceases to marvel. Yet words of praise only humble him. That is his genius he remains humbled and simple, only trying to say something meaningful—a humble observer rather than a judgmental crucifier. A
    wise man, a loving father and husband. Nick is Breathless.

  14. B.... A....

    "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

  15. J.... S....

    He's at his peak now.

  16. J.... P....

    The first word that came to mind to describe this album was harrowing. Having lost many people I love, I relate to this album more than I am comfortable with, but I keep listening to it over and over and over. It's become my go-to soundtrack for drawing and painting for the last couple years.

  17. B.... F....

    Hes The man )))))

  18. M.... P....

    Angry much?

  19. j.... a....

    Fuckin'Rollon!!!

  20. K.... A....

    The pureness and power of a dying sun!

  21. 1.... ....

    Nick Cave supports apartheid Israel. Shame on you

  22. R.... S....

    so deep

  23. M.... T....

    It makes me feel things i cannot put to words
    So powerfull

  24. G.... C....

    jajajja alto artista pero se manifiesta mas narcisista y pesado que el mercurio mismo.... infatuado de él.

  25. D.... M....

    Warren is God.

  26. D.... M....

    Fucking love. Genius!

  27. J.... S....

    A Spiritual experience with your friends, I hope you have been Blessed By Christ. You are a wonderful poet. Beautiful voice. Nick your genius is evident in everything. Birthday day party, the boys next door,The Bad Seeds. Grats on your No1.

  28. K.... M....

    I've been on hold with a lifeline for almost an hour. I'm trying to focus on Nick's music, his pain is greater than my own in this song.

  29. A.... B....

  30. A.... B....

    Nick "drone" cave

  31. t.... ....

    I realised that after two minutes I was sitting with my body tense because I was so captivated by the lyrics and sound ....how many songs do that to you ?? !!!

  32. W.... B....

    Intense shit

  33. y.... a....

    Mevlana

  34. s.... ....

    I never get tired of listening to this masterpiece. Every time I listen I hear something new.

  35. P.... N....

    Brilliant stuff... Pure Poetry

  36. M.... H....

    You and I we are killers
    We killed The Creator
    I really dont give a damm for so much shit was here spoken
    Just enjoy this Amazing Song
    JESUS ALONE

  37. B.... B....

    It is so disappointing, though, that his compassion cannot extend to the hundreds of children battered, wounded,and daily subject to contemptuous humiliation : the children of Palestine

  38. A.... M....

    "behold i stand at the door and knock" Revelation 3:20

  39. M.... M....

    Harvest my tearducts

    So strong

  43. J.... S....

    Many love thoughts to you Nick, a terrible time and beautiful words, be rest assured all who think of this will be with you in mind Xxx

  44. p.... ....

    I'm pretty sure this was in black and white in real life too

  45. P.... G....

    GÖTTLICH ! Die intensivste Musik für mich. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich Nick & Warren hierfür liebe und danke <3 UNFASSBAR TIEF !

  46. G.... E....

    With my voice
    I am calling you.....

  49. R.... E....

    Utterly heartbreaking.

  50. c.... ....

    Finding some humor in all the left-brain evaluations of right-brained material. Keep creating, Nick. <3

  51. A.... A....

    Coming from Brazilllllllll. Love your history and songs

  52. p.... ....

    does anyone remember lars von trier´s film Europe?

  53. J.... M....

    I got to see this full film at a small, indie cinema in Prague, back when it came out, and it was pure magic. The following summer, I got to see them play in Pittsburgh, and it was absolutely amazing. That was such an insane concert season for Pittsburgh at that time, too: the day before, U2 was in town; a day or two after, Tom Petty was in town (his last show there before his untimely death); and, the next week had both Tears For Fears and Hall & Oates together, as well as Sigur Ros separately.

    Can’t wait to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in DC next month!

  54. c.... b....

    Jesus saves!!

  55. W.... W....

    Conway Savage is the bearded guy ?

  56. J.... D....

    A dark terrible beauty is born.

  57. J.... D....

    I get it, I truly do.
    The all-consuming grief of this whole album.
    It's beautiful to inhabit for awhile, but good to come away again.

  58. A.... B....

    David Gilmour's favorite artist.

  59. F.... d....

    Meine Freundin wurde dieses Jahr auf dem Konzert in Lucca von Nick Cave umarmt;)

  60. D.... P....

    Arthur cave died while frying..Wow.. Sincere condolences.

  61. T.... ....

    Hi there from Singapore! Wish you'd have a blessed evening =)

  62. r.... ....

    You called me ..... with your voice... I am here now <3 .... Thank you for your music Mr. Cave

  63. N.... #....

    Seeing Cave and Gira perform together = how to have a spiritual existential artistic crisis, making your own sad existence now complete.

  64. F.... ....

    Is this a Soronprfbs reference?

  65. J.... P....

    The first word that springs to mind when thinking about this album is harrowing. Having lost people close to me more times than I like to think about from a very early age, I can relate to a lot of the concepts presented. It isn't depressing, really, but it is very dark and very real. Far more real than (the excellent album) Push the Sky Away, though that album seemed more about free floating anxiety and paranoia.

  66. K.... ....

    Thank you. This works like a band aid for my soul.

  67. n.... ....

    I saw him cry while playing this

  68. T.... G....

    Gary Lightbody brought me here

  69. C.... F....

    Be strong.... life is a stupid game with less happiness and more pain...hope calmness!

  70. S.... H....

    This is magical material being channeled by a practitioner who knows well what he does. The surprising aspect is that this got out at all, my guess is that he realised he is not alone in the darkness. Which makes it worse. Beautiful, agonising and splendid all at one. There is more going on here than meets the eye. This is his pyramid for his son.

  71. g.... h....

    We saw this guy in concert in AUSTRALIA on youtube , and i urged my three friends to watch it to the end no matter how painful it was (the concert). afterwards we were all unanymous and agreed that this was one of the less inspirational , un talented wanna be musician that we had ever heard, a boring voice on top of it , his lyrics aren't nothing special either....(if you like good for you).

    g.... h....

    gabriel hebert Fuck off dickhead. How could a Queer Cunt like you possibly have three friends?

  72. h.... w....

    can barely breath, this is enchanting .

  73. P.... G....

    THE BEST - spiritual. Thank You, Nick!

  74. F.... ....

    Music from another time, from another planet, from another dimension. Universal poetry of pain and sorrow. Thank you, Nick and The Bad Seeds. Looking forward to see you in October in NY.

  75. I.... b....

    I'm shocked...how "beautifull" can a father express the devastating pain of losing his son...Speechless : 6 minutes of pure art

  76. M.... Z....

    It is not that I like this songs it’s that I feel them and that’s so amazing

  77. t.... ....

    beautiful...

  78. R.... F....

    Awesome, brooding track. It's like it's going nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

  79. S.... H....

    Beautiful

  80. A.... M....

    ya wah welcome...

  81. D.... E....

    Sorry, different Dries
    Greetings

  97. A.... A....

    натянутое говно.нужно еще в анус сунуть вилку и будет что то получше

  98. E.... B....

    CA RA LHO

  99. V.... A....

    il punto più alto di un capolavoro immenso come skeleton three capace di aggirare l'ostacolo del patetismo pur nella rappresentazione apparentemente irrapresentabile della morte del proprio figlio. cosa che solo ai geni è possibile e consentita. chissà quanto deve essere costato incidere questo album innestandolo su un substrato così doloroso.
