Song title: Into My Arms
Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Year: 1997
Why I like this song:
....Oh Lord...
Many of Nick Cave's material has become synonymous with fire, brimstone and inspiring would-be serial killers. But I will argue that his love songs tend to be nothing short of stunning. And this is the case here. Every time I hear this I am in awe of it - particularly how it has the power to command silence and attention (same goes for Nick's other masterwork The Ship Song). To hear this is, for me, like being in a cathedral - which is fitting considering the gospel overtones this song is built from.
