No More Shall We Part  is an album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was released in 2001.

This was the Bad Seeds’ eleventh album together and was recorded after a four-year hiatus (due to Nick recovering from this, that and the other thing), and showcases the band’s  instrumental prowess. The lyrics deal with Cave’s usual preoccupations (death, religion, relationship breakdowns, death) and, despite the dark humour, are startlingly emotive in places. If I had a ratings system for these things, I would give this album four dead flowers out of five.

Here’s And No More Shall We Part.

In our house this CD can be found: dining room, right-hand bookshelves, third shelf down.

Photograph four was taken just in front of the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square. One and two were taken on the South Bank. Number three – I know the street but not by name and number five is anyone’s guess – the losing myself trick is working!
