Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: The Boatman's Call

Phil Sutcliffe, Q, April 1997

"I DON'T believe in an interventionist God/But I know, darling, that you do" ('Into My Arms'). Those are the first lines of the album; Cave's voice oak-deep, his piano solemnly measuring every syllable.

Total word count of piece: 379
