Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - I Need You


When you're feeling like a lover
Nothing really matters anymore
I saw you standing there in the supermarket
With your red dressing falling and your eyes are to the ground
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters when the one you love is gone
You're still in me, baby
I need you
In my heart, I need you
'Cause nothing really matters
I'm standing in the doorway
You're walking 'round my place in your red dress, hair hanging down
With your eyes on one, we love the ones we can
Cause nothing really matters when you're standing, standing
I need you, need you
'Cause nothing really matters
We follow the line of the palms of our hands
You're standing in the supermarket, nothing, holding hands
In your red dress, falling, falling in, falling in
A long black car is waiting 'round
I will miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone away forever
'Cause nothing really matters
I thought I knew better, so much better
And I need you
I need you
'Cause nothing really matters
On the night we wrecked like a train
Purring cars and pouring rain
Never felt right about, never again
'Cause nothing really matters
Nothing really matters anymore, not even today
No matter how hard I try
When you're standing in the aisle, and no, baby
Nothing, nothing, nothing
I need, I need, I need you
I need you
I need you
Just breathe, just breathe
I need you




2015년에 닉 케이브의 아들이 사고사한 후 16년에 나온 앨범이 Skeleton Tree다. 그 수록곡인 이 곡을 처음 들었을 때 가사에 상관 없이 무너져내렸다. 15년의 Sufjan Stevens의 Carrie and Lowell, 17년의 Mount Eerie의 A Crow Looked at Me 같이 가족의 상실에 대한 앨범을 개인적으로 감명 깊게 들었는데 이 앨범은 앞서 거론한 두 앨범의 담담함을 가지면서도 장엄하게 몰아친다. 위로와 상실감을 동시에 느끼게 해주는 음악이다.
