So what does this all say about Cave's beliefs? Not even his most devout fans can say for sure. Many Christians will understandably have trouble getting past the ugly imagery, the occasional misrepresentations of God, and the sexual innuendo in love songs like "Nature Boy." To be clear, Cave should be reserved for the most surefooted in faith looking for something challenging spiritually and artistically. Trying to understand Cave's continued fascination with the Lord is interesting, especially when it's set to some of his most captivating music in years.
