      I’m a huge PJ Harvey friend I have played every album over 100 times I would bet, but is this desire? was One of my albums of 2020 for some reason it came back to me and was on heavy heavy rotation. I probably did listened to it Close to twice a week on average. But I listen to a lot of music.

      Dance Hall at Louse Point (1996) was just as great though :) Collaboration with John Parish but to me it's as PJH as can be, in and out! I guess by that time their vision and concept were already very similar, having played together such a long time.

    Lyrics:
    He got lucky, got lucky one time
    Hitting with the girl in room 509
    She turned her back on him facing the frame
    Said, "Listen Joe, don't you come here again"
    White sun scattered all over the sea
    He could think of nothing but her name Elise
    God is the sweat running down his back
    The water soaked her blonde hair black
    It's a perfect day
    A perfect day, Elise
    He got burned by the sun
    His face so pale and his hands so worn
    Let himself in room 509
    Said a prayer, pulled the trigger and cried
    It's a perfect day
    A perfect day, Elise
    Ah-oh, it's a perfect day
    A perfect day, Elise

    I love late nineties stuff. With almost any band( and yes PJ is a band because I believe she is more than just one person..lol kidding, it is because of all the musicians..) the sound is... enhanced...with that bass turning like a smooth v8 in your BMW or something. Dark and perfect. Wild yet measured. And still with the same amount of spirit. With the turn of the millennia, however, they all seem to have lost focus somewhat(for better or for worse) and venture into new stuff. Thats all good, and in case of PJ Harvey, that brought us some lyrics that ought to be out there among Beauwolf and Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde and George Orwell (Lol, I don't know many poets). But still, that late nineties bass boost is delightful: DM, Garbage, Bjork, Massive Attack..all case in point.
