From Her to Eternity is a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds appearing on their debut album From Her to Eternity. It was written by Barry Adamson, Blixa Bargeld, Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Anita Lane and Hugo Race and was recorded in March 1984 at Trident Studios.[citation needed]
Mat Snow described the song as an "epic starring the most icy scalpel of a piano motif ever to cut to the heart of trauma. And backing it up is an arsenal of breakdown, electrocution and massacre that rises and rises again in the multiple orgasm of a man torturing himself to death."[2]
