Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have shared Long Dark Night, another single from their new album, Wild God. It is a powerful ballad, inspired by the mystic poem Dark Night of the Soul by the Spanish 16th-century priest St. John of the Cross. Cave:
'Long Dark Night' is inspired by one of the greatest and most powerful poems of conversion ever written. Ultimately, though, it's a beautiful country tune. It feels like a sweet companion to the song, 'Wild God'.
Wild God will be released on August 30. The album is available for pre-order here (vinyl, CD, digital).
