“Nothing really matters when the one you love is gone”, sings an emotionally torn Nick Cave in the below black and white video. He’s singing about a woman in a red dress in a supermarket but the line can relate to anyone - and in the context of his sons death is truly heartbreaking to hear.

The album dropped today worldwide following the release of the Bad Seeds’ most critically and commercially successful release in a long time, Push The Sky Away.

Nick Cave began writing sessions for The Skeleton Tree at Retreat Studios in Brighton, and had further sessions at La Frette Studios France in Auuymn 2015 before completing it this year.

Although out today those woho wen tyo see the iflm One MoreTim With Feeling, a 3d film which delves into the “tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album” which is a “stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness,” according to the press relase..”

Due to demand cinemas have scrapped the idea of only showing it for one night and now have screening on the 9, 10 and 11 of September too. www.onemoretimewithfeeling.film/
