PJ Harvey - Stone

Stone (b-side to "You Come Through" from album "Uh huh her", 2004)

I don't wanna kiss you
I've already kissed you
And you said 'kiss me again'
And all the hills were rolling
And all the clouds unravelled
Looked down upon our shadows
Looked down upon our history
And then you came towards me
But my heart has turned to stone
What if my heart has gone
The world is weary, tired enough
I need help to hold this love

Was it that you told me
That you'd learnt to unfold me
To read my heart like a map
To throw it away and not bring it back
No-one in this house is sleeping
We lie awake just listening
For something human, something apart
To hear something other than our own hearts

My heart has turned to stone
What if my heart has gone
The world is weary, tired enough
I need help to hold this love

But the words just grind me down
When your tears just tire us out
When the words just grind us down

PJ Harvey is FIT.

FACT.

@briteness I think the b-sides of most artists tend to be better because the record company won't reject it for not being commercial enough. For some reason record co.s want to water down everything. Artist can get away with a lot more when it's 'just' a b-side.

So simple, so perfect!

@briteness I wish she would release an album of B sides...I love Polly Jean Harvey xxxxxxx

[briteness]

She must know that her b-sides are among her very best work. It must be a conscious strategy to do this. But why? Sometimes artists don't always have the objective distance necessary to accurately assess their own work. Could she think that her b-sides are somehow things that were not quite good enough to make the cut? It is possible, but I kind of doubt it. This is another excellent one.

She always is so different. What a great song. I feel like my heart is stone sometimes...or that it is turning to stone.

[TumbrelJockey]
