Mount Eerie's A Crow Looked at Me is worth mentioning, an album with an opening track goes like ''death is real, someone's there and they're not'' and another track opens ''our daughter is one and a half, you've been dead eleven days'... the most personal and geniune album I've heard for a long time.
Indeed...
This is actually the most powerful work of art about death I've ever experienced. Holy Shit is it real and raw. The whole album. And it's not like, dude, I'm gonna do this like artistic thing about death and it'll be like all dark and spooky and stuff... NO. If you've ever experienced death, this is exactly how you felt... for months and years to follow.
The previous two albums, which lack lyrics, evoke the feeling I think of when I think about mortality. I think a lot of ambient type music can evoke that reaction. The titles of the albums and songs also help create that picture.
These look interesting. Thanks! With Nick Cave I think you get both the gothic fascination side and the more spiritual poignant side of this topic. I think "into my arms" is probably my favourite song of his. The opening lines are so perfect.

Exactly, he states in the opening track as death is not a thing to sing about or make into art in a manner I'd like to call Magrittesque, because it reflects the artificiality of the song and also realness of death in a reversed way (Rene Magritte loves to show the realness of the "artpiece" and the artificiality of imagery like in The Treachry of Images or commonly known as This Is Not a Pipe)
And in the matter of Swims, I just lose it in "we are always so close to not existing at all"
