It was 1997 in post-communist Czech Republic, and people were still super hungry for all the western bands. I loved Nick Cave and went to his concert without a ticket, which was prohibitively expensive for a high school student, with a friend who knew ways to get around. The concert was in a Congress Center. If you knew how to stop a lift abruptly on the 2nd floor, where it wouldn't stop without a key, and then force the door to open—coincidentally, my friend knew how 😉—you could get to the concert hall through a back door (not proud of it, but what the hell, I paid 1000x more for concerts later).

The concert was super amazing, with "Red Right Hand" being one of the songs. To this day, when I hear "The Weeping Song," I get shivers. It's kind of a boring song on the CD (sorry!), but totally stunning live. The crowd was so hypnotized and euphoric that after a second encore, people kept clapping, stomping, shouting, whistling, and screaming for a good 20 minutes, and Cave came back with all The Bad Seeds and added a few more. Probably my best concert memory ever!!!

"You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan" remains one of my favorite lyrics ever.

I am re-watching Peaky Blinders now and falling in love with this song all over again. Artic Monkeys' cover of this tune is pretty cool too. Not so in love with PJ Harvey's version though.

The liner notes for Murder Ballads state that the phrase "red right hand" is from a line in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost that refers to divine vengeance.

I struggle with this title. Nick Cave uses the phrase in at least one other song, the "Song of Joy", where he cites his source as Paradise Lost, book 2: That's Belial advising against open warfare on heaven, because even though the Fallen suffer in Hell, God can still exact worse suffering still. I'm just not sure why Cave fixates on it. What does the phrase really represent? Do Cave's serial killers see themselves as exacting divine vengeance?
Most definately. Listen to O'Malley's Bar from Murder Ballads

As someone already pointed out, this *is* the original. You might be thinking of the Pete Yorn cover, which was also used in Hellboy.

This song ROCKS!! What a great and just devishly delightful song! Like Werewolves of London. I heard this song the first time on Songs in the Key of X. An all-around bad album but songs like Red Right Hand and the REM and William Burroughs diddy make it okay. But I digress... Keep up the good haunting songs on Radioparadise. You make work fun. Or at least bearable.
