The song 'From Her to Eternity' by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, from their 1984 album of the same name. A clever play on From Here to Eternity, the song signals the Bad Seeds' dark wit and bombastic intentions. The song's meticulous, almost ritualistic structure is all relentless build-up with no hope of release. Blixa Bargeld's guitar shrieks, stabbing at Barry Adamson’s subterranean bass lines. Nick Cave’s preacher-like baritone crawls through the wreckage, every note clawing at the seams of reality.
