These are weird times.
Here is my song of the day...
This album means SO MUCH to me. It's pure talent.
But mostly, it encapsulates a lots of emotions that came to me at the time of its release, when I left England for Kenya and had such a complicated relation to my country of birth...
It does resonate really strongly this year! post Brexit...
PJ Harvey - England
from the album Let England Shake, Mercury Prize 2011
Lyrics:
I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from the country
That I love
England
You leave a taste
A bitter one
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never failing love for you
England
