PJ Harvey (featuring Thom Yorke) ----- This Mess We’re In
PJ Harvey didn’t need Radiohead’s enigmatic frontman to sell this bleakly beautiful 2000 duet. But it’s chilling — and slightly dislocating — to hear these worlds collide, resulting in a hall-of-fame-caliber swirl of romantic misery. “I’d long been interested in the idea of somebody else singing a whole song on a record of mine, to have a very different dimension brought in by somebody else’s voice,” Harvey told the Los Angeles Times. “It adds so much dynamic within the record to have this other character coming in.” And while it’s still hilarious to hear Yorke, master of the abstract, sing lines this nakedly sensual (“I dream of making love to you now, baby”), he inhabits that character with ease, his falsetto offering a ghostly counterpoint to Harvey’s measured spoken word.
Can you hear them?
The helicopters?
I'm in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it's Wednesday
The evening
The mess we're in and
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making love
To you now baby
Love-making
On-screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise
Over the river
The freeway
Reminding
Of this mess we're in and
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
What were you wanting?
What was it you wanted?
I just wanna say
I just wanna say
Don't ever change
Don't ever change now, baby
And thank you
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again
I don't think we will meet again
And you must leave now
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises over the skyscrapers
Before the sunrise above skyscrapers
And the city landscape comes into being
Sweat on my skin
The city
Oh, this mess we're in
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
