Nick Cave on DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!!
"Ever
since I can remember hearing the Lazarus story, when I was a kid, you
know, back in church, I was disturbed and worried by it. Traumatized,
actually. We are all, of course, in awe of the greatest of Christ's
miracles - raising a man from the dead - but I couldn't help but wonder
how Lazarus felt about it. As a child it gave me the creeps, to be
honest. I've taken Lazarus and stuck him in New York City, in order to
give the song, a hip, contemporary feel. I was also thinking about
Harry Houdini who spent a lot of his life trying to debunk the
spiritualists who were cashing in on the bereaved. He believed there
was nothing going on beyond the grave. He was the second greatest
escapologist; Harry was, Lazarus, of course, being the greatest. I
wanted to create a kind of vehicle, a medium, for Houdini to speak to
us if he so desires, you know, from beyond the grave. Sometimes, late
at night, if you listen to the song hard enough, you can hear his voice
and the sad clanking of his chains."
"I don't know what it is but
there is definitely something going on upstairs", he seems to be
saying. It is, most of all, an elegy to the New York City of the 70's."
