comment |
To Bring You My Love is the third studio album by PJ Harvey, released in 1995. Widely seen as one of her best albums, "Down By The Water" and "C'mon Billy" were released as singles and helped her break to the mainstream. The album takes a lot of its inspiration from American Blues music, particularly in its subject matter about rivers, religion and lovers who left. Musically many tracks mimick the intimate sound of these 1920s and 1930s recordings.Tracklist: "To Bring You My Love" (5:32) "Meet Ze Monsta" (3:29) "Working for the Man" (4:45) "C'mon Billy" (2:47) "Teclo" (4:57) "Long Snake Moan" (5:17) "Down by the Water" (3:14) "I Think I'm a Mother" (4:00) "Send His Love to Me" (4:20) "The Dancer" (4:06) |

New Sound Album: The album didn't make use of many traditional basslines, but used mostly rumbling organ tones. |

comment |
Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: This is a dark album, where Harvey often sings in a Creepy Monotone and with harsh sounds. "Working For The Man" is almost whispered, while "Down By The Water" has her sing to fishes in the water to "come back here and give me my daughter." |

Obsession Song: The woman in "To Bring You My Love" describes she travelled a long way, over dry earth, floods, Hell,high water, mountains, the sea, heaven,... to bring "you my love". She even "laid with the devil, cursed god above and forsake Heaven" for it. |

Careful with That Axe: Several songs, for example "Long Snake Moan," have Harvey sing pretty darn loud. And then there are her high moans in "The Dancer". |

Jump Scare: At the start of "Long Snake Moan" P.J. briefly says "Hmm-hmm," whereupon the song bursts out in all of its loudness. Every first time listener will be startled by this. |

Shout-Out |
| | To Bring You My Love (Music) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The album references Captain Beefheart three times. The Title Track opens with the line "Well, I was born in the desert, came on up from New Orleans", which is similar to Beefheart's opening line on "Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do" from Safe as Milk (1967). The title of "Meet Ze Monsta" is inspired by the line "I'm playing this music/ so the young girls would come out/ to meet the monster tonight" from "Tropical Hot Dog Night" from Beefheart's Shiny Beast (1978). "I Think I'm a Mother" uses the lines "You told her you love her/ so bring her to mother/ You love her, adapt her/ you love her, adapt her/ Adapt her, adapter/ adapt her, adapter" from Beefheart's "Drop-Out Boogie" from Safe as Milk (1967). Harvey's vocal melody at the end of "Teclo" also mirrors Beefheart's melody in "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles." |
