Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Release New Song ‘Long Dark Night’

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have released a new song, ‘Long Dark Night’, lifted from their forthcoming album Wild God. It follows previous offerings ‘Frogs’ and the title track. Check it out below.

The new song draws inspiration from ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ by the Spanish 16th-century poet St. John of the Cross. “‘Long Dark Night’ is inspired by one of the greatest and most powerful poems of conversion ever written,” Cave explained in a statement. “Ultimately, though, it’s a beautiful country tune. It feels like a sweet companion to the song, ‘Wild God’.”

Wild God is set for release on August 30.
