  • Trivia
    Sung his beautiful ballad, "Into My Arms", at the funeral of 'Michael Hutchence' (during which someone tried to throw themselves off a balcony). The funeral was filmed for TV but, out of respect for Hutchence, Cave refused to allow his song to be recorded.
  • Quotes
    I want to write songs that are so sad, the kind of sad where you take someone's little finger and break it in three places.
