Well, we're going to Nick Cave into my arms and
Nick Cave is an extraordinary singer and songwriter.
I know you've talked to him here on Desert Island Disc.
This song is just one of the most extraordinary songs.
He described it as a mutual embrace and a lifeline that connects people in their humanity, mortality, and love.
And I saw him a couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to see him, and this song was one of the most powerful experiences I think I've ever had in a concert venue.
It makes me think about the people I love Claire, my boys, my family.
my family, my friends and how grateful I am for their love and support.
The song is about the power of connection but it's also it also describes how you feel when that love is absent.
Yes.
It was the kind of best of times, worst of times as a year.
I was doing a huge report on mental health in the workplace.
Everything was going well.
We got in the car, we were going to an event for one of our godchildren, and I remember just looked into her eyes and her eyes were yellow.
And I said
Darling, your eyes are yellow.
You look like you've got jaundice and that that's that's what it looked like.
Immediately it was clear that something was very wrong.
we got very quick help, actually, uh a quick diagnosis of a rare liver cancer called bile duct cancer, which doesn't have a great survival rate and I suppose we were always on an uphill
struggle.
