"There She Goes My Beautiful World" belongs to Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus, the sprawling double album Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released on Mute in September 2004, and it's Cave's song from top to bottom: he wrote it, sings lead and shares the piano with Conway Savage. Nick Launay produced the record with the band at Studio Ferber in Paris, and by his account they got the whole thing done in 12 days.
It was the first Bad Seeds album without Blixa Bargeld, and the lineup here is packed: James Johnston of Gallon Drunk on organ, Warren Ellis piling on violin, flute, mandolin and bouzouki, Mick Harvey on guitar, Martyn P. Casey on bass and Jim Sclavunos driving the drums and percussion. It sounds like a band hurling itself at the next chorus.
