    Nick Cave makes me feel less alone with my sadness. He makes it feel like the darkness is okay. I'm so grateful for his music.

    Some people say that it's just rock and roll but it gets you right down to your soul

    I was riding, I was riding And I got myself a gun I’m gonna come back one day Show you how it’s done I got a feeling I just can’t shake I got a feeling that it won’t go away You’ve gotta just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away And if you think you got everything you came for If you got everything and you don’t want no more You’ve gotta just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away Some people say it’s just rock and roll Oh but it gets you right down to your soul You’ve gotta just keep on pushing Keep on pushing Push the sky away

    Gorgeous version of a gorgeous song. And that finale embrace, and the happy look on Warren's face, his arms tightly around Nick's back... Yes, I live for moments such as this magical one.
  • Im pushing the sky away beacuse I have my beautiful daughter, the smartest I would ever imagine, I'm pushing the sky away everyday I feel weak. She is my best gift, I feel precious every day. Every time I ask her what is she thankful for and loved for I hear "YOU MOMMY, every time you hugs me, showers me, give me food, read me a book" I'm dying. Cannot beleve. Its the time I spend with her, the time Im carrying with her, playing with her. It is my quality time. The meaning of life.
  • His last three albums Push The Sky Away, Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen are in credibly important to me and what has happened in my life. Nick Cave has been a constant and he'll never know just how important and deeply helpful his music has and still is to me. Some people say it's just rock 'n' roll... ahh, but it gets you right down to your soul. Much love, keep pushing...
  • @d.sherman8563
    Keep on pushing Nick... My most sincere condolences to you and your family for another tragic loss.
  • @vitamcrae5115
    I've never heard this song. I'm 54 yr old Australian and I recall everyone raving about Nick Cave for years...now I understand why. This made me teary. Extremely moving. Stunning.
  • @AndrewTonneman
    As a kind of ritual I listen at least once a month to 'Push The Sky Away'. Because I know that wonders need endurance — we all need perseverance.
  • I could just keep this on a loop forever...so so beautiful and melancholy, gentle and courageous... exactly what we need in this cruel world to heal us.
  • @tom4v52
    Thank you Nick Cave - this world is a much more bearable place with your music in it.
  • @sparrow2073
    Soul music A master of words... Touched by the melancholy of the melody. The sun will rise after every dark night. Keep on pushin.
