Tupelo-o-o! Hey, Tupelo! You will reap just what you sow. - Nick Cave

Oh, a passing, skeptical kind of interest. I'm a hammer-and-nails kind of guy.

The song is heroic because the song confronts death. The song is immortal and bravely stares down our own extinction. The song emerges from the spirit world with a true message: Some day I will tell you how to slay the dragon.

From the words and the thickets,
Come the ghosts of his victims,
'We love you!'
'Ah love you!'
This will not hurt a bit.
