NICK CAVE --- Red right hand (from "Let love in")
From one of Cave's overall best imo albums, a dark tale of manipulation, revenge, betrayal and megalomania. Just an ordinary Cave song, then!
THE THE --- Soul mining (from "Soul mining")
Few people have such a handle on the human condition and its sense of overimportance, and almost no-one is as good as Matt Johnson at taking down the entire human race a peg, reminding us all how small we are in the grand scheme of things, and smiling bitterly at the sweet irony of the whole thing.
MOSTLY AUTUMN --- The end of the world (from "Storms over still water")
Some of the finest lyricists arguably reside in progressive rock bands, and I'm almost always impressed by the depth and strength of the songwriting in Mostly Autumn. Here they envision, well, the end of the world.
