Nick Cave has mentioned his love of the same song twice in a week, once on Desert Island Discs and once when a fan asked him what he’d like played at his funeral.

The tune? I Am A God by Kanye West.

Cave explains “This became, weirdly enough, a kind of family song. My kids love it, Susie loves it, I love it. It’s an extremely playful, extremely dark, complex song where on the one hand, Kanye is presenting himself as a god, and then towards the end of the song, he’s screaming in terror… It’s an unbelievably deep song, in my view… This is a song that I value on a personal level, and actually I just think is a complete, amazing work of art.”
