Dazed and Confused
Realizado por Glen Luchford, Nick Cave canta e Tilda Swinton interpreta. Filme curto realizado para o lançamento da edição de Maio de 2010 da revista Dazed & Confused.
O texto dito por Tilda Swinton:
A way of pretending that I can keep otherness away.
I cannot.
I write to you about someone who is very strange to me.
I cannot look at him.
Cannot touch him.
Cannot smell him.
And, yet, he's all around.
He is inside me and yet I cannot love him as I would wish.
As I once thought I would love and wish to be loved.
And yet he is my love.
Of that I'm sure.
But I cannot find anything to give him that would be a mark of this love of mine.
Of whoever (?) I am in this love.
A música, What Can I Give You, que Nick Cave canta:
e a letra:
All my life I failed to see
One good thing standing in front of me
And the planets gravitate around you
And the stars, the stars surround you
And the angels in heaven adore you
And the saints, the saints all stand and applaud you
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
The shadow came creeping, a criminal
That you chased, babe, from my life
And sometimes when I'm sleeping I see
him shuffle against the night
Oh, he's waiting, yeah he's waiting to return
And each step I take moves me one step below you
And you must do in order to console me
Help me, help me, help me, baby,
reach down and collect me
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
Galaxies collide; they shower down around you
And I searched, I stumbled and then I found you
In your robe, in your crown, reaching low, babe
Reaching low down to the ground
What can I give you?
What can I give you in return?
