John Cale, Chrissie Hynde, Nick Cave

The previous clip I posted had a short appearance from Nick Cave, but he didn't actually play on the song. Too bad. Here's another song from the same session, where he DOES play, with Cale and Chrissie Hynde:

John Cale: "The Thoughtless Kind"

This song makes me feel sad about... stuff. It's one of my favourite songs ever.

If you grow tired of the friends you make
In case you mean to say something else
Say they were the best of times you ever had
The best of times with the thoughtless kind

We dress conservatively at the best of times
Prefer the shadows to the bright lights in the eyes
Of the ones we love, the bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love

What we see, what we imagine the eyes tell us nothing
The bright lights in the eyes of the one we love will tell you
but the scars of imagination
The bright lights in the eyes of the one we love will tell you
Nothing except that you’re the thoughtless kind

If you grow tired of the friends you make
Never ever turn your back on them
Say they were the best of times you ever had
The best of times with the thoughtless kind
