Tupelo (Live God) Lyrics – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

“Tupelo (Live God)” Lyrics by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is a latest English song in the voice of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Its music too is composed by singer while brand new “Tupelo (Live God)” song lyrics are also written by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

It seems the new release is part of a bigger project called Live God — a live album drawn from their 2024‑25 tour, the Wild God Tour. The album will drop on December 5, 2025 in multiple formats: double LP, double CD, and digital.

The full track list of Live God is out now, and Tupelo is among the included songs.

Interestingly, Tupelo has gained fresh attention even before the live album arrives. To mark the 40th anniversary of the original Tupelo, the band released a new video that uses AI‑generated imagery. The video was created by filmmaker Andrew Dominik, and it’s been described as surreal, mythic, and emotionally powerful. Although the band’s frontman had publicly criticized generative AI in the past, this new video seems to reflect a change of mind, with him calling it a profound interpretation of the song.

About Tupelo itself: the song — originally released in 1985 — draws on the mythology around Elvis Presley’s birth in Tupelo, Mississippi, mixing tragedy, myth, and biblical‑style imagery. The bass line is described as predatory and relentless, while the lyrics spin a dark, stormy story full of foreboding and raw energy.

For longtime fans, the inclusion of Tupelo on Live God — plus the new video — makes this release feel like a celebration of the band’s history. For newer listeners, it may provide a powerful entry point into the decades‑spanning world of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
