The Sick Bag Song Audiobook

The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave’s journey with his band, the Bad Seeds, on a 22-day North American tour. Inspired by John Berryman’s Dream Songs, it is an epic exploration of inspiration, creativity, loss, love and death.

The book blends poetry, lyrics, memories, musings, flights of fancy and journal entries. The Sick Bag Song began life scribbled onto airline sick bags acquired during the internal flights taken by Cave during the tour. To some degree a companion piece to his feature doc 20,000 Days on Earth, The Sick Bag Song further explores and develops the mystique of Nick Cave.
