Once again Cave proves that he won't be limited in his choices as an artist, never
allowing precedent, notoriety or commercial success to inhibit him from the subjects
of his choosing. Any expectations that he may have reproduced the violence's of his
previous work, Murder Ballads, are instantly dispelled by the grace and humility of
this song.
"Into My Arms" is song of devotion played with the serenity and reverence of a hymn.
It is, in the end, simply, and purely, an ode to love, that most sublime of sentiments.
