Rather Lovely Thing

From the movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, directed by Andrew Dominik, 2007. However, the video was created by Dark Matinee

A Rather Lovely Thing is a piece written and played by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave. Warren Ellis on the violin and Nick Cave on the piano - so sweet and so gentle, so lovely to hear the violin and the piano come together, pull apart and make space for one another.

Yeah! Susthama, "Rather Lovely Thing" is really one of the loveliest pieces of music. Thanks for reminding me of it. Nick Cave is one of the best performers in concert also. Hope you have had the chance to see one of his shows.

"so sweet and so gentle, so lovely to hear the violin and the piano come together, pull apart and make space for one another."

I totally agree. Wonderful sounds complemented by profoundly beautiful video imagery. Thank you for sharing this in your post here (and thank you for providing your blog, a haven of calm, an island of tranquility).

Thank you both - I'm glad you enjoyed this peice.

Cynthia - no, unfortunately, no, sigh and now I'm afraid his shows are way too big and crowded.
