So that happened... first thank you Inez, for gifting your ticket to stub hub - I was the center seat between current Bad Seed drummer and former Seeds on one side and Chloe Sevigny (Molly - all I kept thinking was Park Slope) with gaggle of girls on the other. Everyone was friendly ... Feeling weird until movie started so lovely and intimate - then Nick Cave comes out , speaks for a bit ... sitting at piano asks what we want to hear - everyone starts waving hands and screaming out songs - from the old days till now - he would say no , just me and my piano - then look pick a person move forward if they wanted extreme or if it worked he would perform the song. Now everyone is getting worked up - me included - but I just have my hand raised , not yelling , just listening to everyone .... then I hear Red?! ... He points a finger at me looks at the piano keys fingers hovering over keys.... everything slows down , like slower than slow motion , snail motion , but not my heart - I try to be cool - look to my right - oh , there is Chloe , great ... she slightly smiles , raises her eyebrows and gives a friendly nod - I took it as are you slow? shout something .. one breath .. there is not enough of anything that will make me glance at the Seeds... second breath ...I have been making cave play lists all week for friends ... I know all of his songs ... third breath ... I also know what he does with a piano ... my insides stomach and intestines are locking up and I think maybe another person can ... He looks up points his ear at me like he didnt he me ...fourth breath ....and my stupid subconscious yells out Into My Arms ...he nods without looking in approval , time has got back to normal ... and he played one of my favorite and probably most painful songs for me to hear right now.. I will load for you next so you can hear... he did this for about 12 of us ... he spoke about art and transformation - how hard it is to write ..I heard the words he was saying but I was still absorbing the moment. NYC was good toe tonight. Thank god I didnt you know puke or cry - well, I cried a little he sang the song - but thats cool. What a freaking experience! Startled looking selfie is how I feel I appeared during the snail motion process. I hope it was better but my gut says, nope that was your expression. Brilliant.
