sudden loss

My mum knows how to paint The Starry Night of Van Gogh. She learned the secrets of his technique, but the truth is that she prefers watercolour painting and other style of oil panting. She knows that I take delight in watching how the dramatic brush stroke are telling a story about a man who was a genius and who perceived too much. So why did she made a reproduction? Because she loves me and she knows what I dream about. I still haven't told her how much I need her in my life...

The son of Nick Cave, Arthur, was plunged to death from a cliff. He had taken LSD. Few months later, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds launched a new album called Skeleton Tree. I have to say that the music that he has made is a magical symphony of emotions based on his tremendous life experience. He has always intrigued his audience. But now...

Nick is thought to have poured the anguish of losing his son into his upcoming album, Skeleton Tree. (Daily Mail)
 
If I could change the past I would have never listened to Skeleton Tree. I could feel deep sadness in his voice. No, I'm wrong. I could hear desolation that overwhelmed him.  He is begging for mercy, for forgiveness in 8 private messages... Cave is sharing his pain with us, but simultaneously looking for his son...  After all, the words that he had never said to him were heard.

And now in turn, you turn, you kneel to lace up his shoes my little blue-eyed boy
Take him by his hand, go move and spin him down the hall
