Some things you can't take with you; some things you can't leave behind

This is something Ms. Harvey wrote after reading about the murder of a woman. When you know that, this goes from unsettling to down right creepy. And the video manages to make it even creepier. Not a big fan of the strident backing vocals, but it does a good job of capturing the quiet darkness (in both senses of the word) of something hiding in the night.

Today I am stepping onto a plane and a new life. A little melodramatic maybe, but this song has been bouncing around in my head lately.

PJ Harvey
"The Piano"
White Chalk


Next: This land is Texas - and what should I do in Texas?
