Classic, indeed. This song is full of this dread that I just love.
Full of dread and mournful atmosphere, I agree. But still quite ethereal and beautiful. There's just not enough murder ballads in popular music these days.
I think Nick's one of the only people still interested in writing 'em.
The whole album its from is classic. 👍
It is, Murder Ballads is one of his best albums.
I saw him a year or two ago here in 'Sunny' Bournemouth. It was a good show.
Lucky, I've only ever seen concert footage on TV, never in person sadly. Hopefully one day.
I don't him that well (even I have a limit to the number of artists I can follow), but a friend dragged me along and I'm glad he did.
