Writing in the latest instalment of his Red Hand Files<\/a><\/strong> newsletter, Nick Cave<\/strong> has revealed that he turned down an invitation from Morrissey<\/strong> to perform \u201cslightly silly anti-woke screed\u201d on new track.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a few pleasant email exchanges last year in which Morrissey asked if I\u2019d sing on a new song he had written.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have been happy to do so, however, while the song he sent was quite lovely, it began with a lengthy and entirely irrelevant Greek bouzouki intro.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also seemed that he didn\u2019t want me to actually sing on the song, but deliver, over the top of the bouzouki, an unnecessarily provocative and slightly silly anti-woke screed he had written.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I suppose I agreed with the sentiment on some level, it just wasn\u2019t my thing. I try to keep politics, cultural or otherwise, out of the music I am involved with. I find that it has a diminishing effect and is antithetical to whatever it is I am trying to achieve.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo\u2026 I politely declined. I said no.\u201d<\/p>\n

More positively, Cave also wrote that \u201cMorrissey is probably the best lyricist of his generation \u2013 certainly the strangest, funniest, most sophisticated, and most subtle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
