Put more simply, he's saying art is the product of, and the expression of, human emotion and experience. Suffering just happens to be a common element of that, but it's not essential. Maybe because it most commonly produces good or great art. People generally don't make art about how their love life is perfectly fine, instead they express their experience of devastating heartbreak. Nike Cave is just one strand of the artistic experience. Contrast say Kraftwerk, whose expression is about feelings of affinity with machines, technology and even interaction with transport infrastructure.

>People generally don't make art about how their love life is perfectly fine On that note, Riki Lindhome's recent (slightly NSFW) "Middle Age Love" hit me so hard in the feels. It's so exceedingly rare to just see artists open up about their intimate relationships in such a positive way. https://youtu.be/F3gUy40Stzg?si=5J6UtLd5x9BC99UX https://youtu.be/F3gUy40Stzg?si=5J6UtLd5x9BC99UX

He is absolutely not saying that his songs are borne out of suffering in everyday life. I am losing my mind reading these comments. The suffering he is talking about here is the frustrations and compromises of the artistic _process_, which llms short circuit entirely No matter what the work is _about_, any art made by a human is going to encounter this feeling.
