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

It’s official: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are releasing a new live album called Live God on December 5, 2025. The album is drawn from performances during their 2024–2025 Wild God tour, across North America, the UK, and Europe.

According to the track listing, White Elephant will be included in Live God. That means if you like live-recorded versions, you’ll get to hear the raw energy of the band performing it on stage — not a studio polish, but live sound, crowd ambiance, and all the atmosphere that comes with a concert.

The band themselves describe Live God as an attempt to capture the wildly transcendent experience of their shows — and they’ve called this era of live performances an antidote to despair. For fans of White Elephant, this could mean a deeper, more emotional, more visceral version than the original.

In earlier dates of the Wild God tour, fans already heard White Elephant live along with other songs. So this upcoming live album may preserve some of those concert moments — maybe even from shows people attended, giving listeners a taste of what it felt like in the crowd.
