Tuesday’s Tune: Into My Arms
Not many songs open with a line like, “I don’t believe in an interventionist god”. But then not too many artists could carry it off as deliciously as does Nick Cave. Into My Arms is one of the great love songs. It is a simple and stark arrangement with a powerful melody exactly complementing the paean to love he borrowed from a rejected religion. A true masterpiece of song writing.
Into My Arms originally appeared on Cave’s 1997 The Boatman’s Call (with The Bad Seeds). It is probably his finest album and simply must be part of every music lover’s collection.
