Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Joy (Title Video) 

"We’ve all had too much sorrow, now is the time for joy."

These guys make me feel like things still matter

Lyrics: "I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head I felt like someone in my family was dead I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees Call out all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please" "Have mercy on me, please" And over by the window, the voice came low and hollow Over by the window, a voice came low and hollow It spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow Spoke into my pain "Who was it," I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?" "Who is it," I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation? "It’s half past midnight! Why you disturb me so late?" Then I saw a movement Then I saw a movement around Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed I saw a movement around my narrow bed Oh, a ghost in giant sneakers, laughing stars around his head Have mercy on me Sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy He said, "We’ve all had too much sorrow, now is the time for joy" And all across the world they shout bad words, they shout angry words All across the world they shout out their angry words About the end of love, yet the stars stand above the earth Bright, triumphant metaphors of love Bright, triumphant metaphors of love Blind us all who care to stand and look beyond, that care to stand and look beyond above And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I called all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please" "Have mercy on me, please" "Have mercy on me, please" "Have mercy on me, please" For joy, for joy, for joy For joy, for joy, for joy Jumping for joy For joy, for joy, for joy For joy, for joy, for joy Oh, for joy Oh, have mercy on me, please Joy, joy, joy..."

Ahhh. I remember now. I remember my humanity, love, compassion, the shared experiences of things nobody understands and of emotions too deep to be named and too strange and complicated to be labelled. I needed this reminder of the deep things inside me and you, I needed this dose of Nick. We all do.

I lost my dear father two months ago. This song was written for me.

I knew in the 90s that I would become a fan, but I wasn’t ready to hear this work, I needed other poets first. Now, at 54, I’m here and the moment is finally transcendent. I knew that, until the music rocked me to my core, I’d be wise to wait. And I was but what JOY to be in this moment now.

“Weeping may endure for a night,but joy comes in the morning”….

Ник Кейв как хорошее вино, с годами всё лучше!

This song... Tears fill my eyes and yet I smile... what a beautiful testament to life!

😍☮️🧡✨️🌠

I love "Song of Joy"..(Murder Ballads).

❤🇩🇰

in the rabbit hole....no joy...

I love the new album, but sadly the inner sleeve on the vinyl is a right royal PITA to remove/replace

Man you guys are tapping into something so beautiful: what a gift this music is right now.

✨, thx ...

I get real Sufjan Stevens vibes 😌

From Α(Alpha) via Nick to the Ω(Omega). Amen!

Jesus Christ, what's this!? The sacred church of the holy shit? I give up...

Song of Joy?

Pretty damn transcendent.

Sounds like the son has parted thru clouds

Sounds like a piano and a squeaky wheelbarrow.

The world is ending for us because of the misbegotten ideas that have driven us. That is enough sorrow for us, but even more for our children. It's hard to know if they will understand what joy was.

The lyrics sounds like he's talking about Luffy, JoyBoy hahahahahahah

🙏🕯

Theese ghosts man !!! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Esta canción ya estaba en otro álbum. No, pero suena igual. Mick, Blixa se os estraña. Todo ahora suena igual. Ah, ah ah...y sintetizador

... i dosadan je više s tim zborovima.

Been a fan for 40 odd years, but this just isn't doing it for me. No discernable melody, not a song as such, rather a poem. Not something I would necessarily want to listen to again, forgettable. I say this with a heavy heart.

All the songs are medocre. Everything heard bevor. But much, much better. And the sound engineer did a lousy job. All muddy and overloaded

such a tragic chorus....
