Sad but good

I just bought this CD (a real I can play in my car). I love Nick Cave's music no matter what, but this album was created partly as a way of dealing with the unexpected death of his 15-year-old son. When I heard the news about his son, it really hit me in the gut. I almost felt like a friend of mine had lost a child. 

I was afraid of buying his album at first because I thought it would be too heart wrenching, but it's okay. It's dark and angry but also melodic and hopeful. Looking forward to many listens on my future commutes.
