Ta se rozpadla v roce 1983, ale Cave spolu s Harveyem založili skupinu Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, ve které působí do současnosti; Harvey ze skupiny odešel v roce 2009, po více než pětatřicetileté spolupráci s Cavem. V letech 2006 až 2011 působil Cave ve skupině Grinderman, se kterou vydal dvě studiová alba.

Rovněž složil originální hudbu k několika filmům, jako jsou Zabití Jesseho Jamese zbabělcem Robertem Fordem a Země bez zákona . V různých filmech také hrál, jsou to například Nebe nad Berlínem a Rhinoceros Hunting in Budapest . Některým filmům jako The Proposition a Země bez zákona napsal scénář. Je autorem dvou románů, první z nich nesl název A uzřela oslice anděla, který byl poprvé vydán v roce 1989, druhý pak Smrt Zajdy Munroa . Wikipedia

Nick Cave: Citáty anglicky

“The song is heroic because the song confronts death. The song is immortal and bravely stares down our own extinction. The song emerges from the spirit world with a true message: Some day I will tell you how to slay the dragon.”

Song lyrics, From Her to Eternity (1984), A Box for Black Paul

“And as the company passed from the valley, into a higher ground,
The rain beat on the ridge and on the meadow, and on the mound,
Until nothing was left, nothing at all except the body of Sorrow,
That rose in time, to float upon the surface of the eaten soil.”

And trinket stars did smile,
Your funeral, my trial.”

Song lyrics, From Her to Eternity (1984), Well of Misery

“And the mercy seat is melting,
And I think my blood is boiling,
And in a way I'm spoiling,
All the fun with all this truth and consequence.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.”

Song lyrics, Tender Prey (1988), The Mercy Seat

“I'd rather see what makes me different as something almost congenital. And I have these inklings that what you commit or endure in this world, relates to some kind of justice or balance. Maybe if you get a bad deal in this world, it is because of something you did, or were, in a previous life. Which is why I don't feel sorry for the poor.”

Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock, by Simon Reynolds (1988)
Politics, society and humanity

“I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it. But I wouldn't like to dwell on it. Perhaps you could lighten up a bit.”

“In heaven His throne is made of gold,
Where the ark of His testament is stowed,
A throne from which I'm told all history does unfold,
Down here it's made of wood and wire,
And my body is on fire,
And God is never far away.”

“Ah read her diary on her sheets,
Scrutinizin' every lil' piece of dirt,

And shinning it down the vine,
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine.”

“The brutality of the Old Testament inspired me, the stories and grand gestures. I wrote that stuff up and it influenced the way I saw the world. What I'm trying to say is I didn't walk around in a rage thinking God is a hateful god. I was influenced by looking at the Bible, and it suited me in my life vision at the time to see things in that way. …. After a while I started to feel a little kinder and warmer to the world, and at the same time started to read the New Testament.”
