B-side from Good Fortune (Stories from the city, stories from the sea)
A tribute to Jeff Buckley (American singer-songwriter and guitarist). Polly knew him personally and in this song she takes lines from a song on his unfinished album, "Morning Theft", and in her own words reflects on Buckley's death.
You breathing into my mouth
I'll take it
I'll take it for you
You wanna sing
Then sing it through me
You've got somehitng
Left to say
Untimely, you were taking away
Unlikely, out if turn
When you still got so much to say
Well I'll write it, a song for you
But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh what a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing
You said
There's a special place
And it's scaring
The shit out of me
In Memphis
On Valentine's day
You wrote it
In a letter to me
Well I wish I had given you more time
To say thank you
My beautiful friend
But sometimes you gotta send it away
To bring it
To bring it back again
But oh what a way to go
So peaceful
He's smiling
Oh what a way to go
I'm with you
I'm singing
You'll always
Have open eyes
You'll always
Have a special place
In Memphis
On Valentine's day
Die suddenly
At a wonderful age
Though were you ready
were you ready to go?
When you still got so much to say
Somehow I know
Somehow I know you're drowning slow
Receiving just everything
But oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
You're smiling
Oh what a way to go
I know that you're smiling
Oh
What a way to go
So peaceful
I'm singing
Oh
What a way to go
I know that
You're smiling
You're peaceful
You're smiling
You're peaceful
You're smiling
I know that
You're smiling
You're peaceful
You're smiling

Jeff Buckley lead me to PJ Harvey through this beautiful tribute. "You said there's a special place and it's scaring the shit out of me...In Memphis on Valentine's Day, You Wrote it in a letter me." Thats killing me with curiousity and its loading my head with so many questions. But ultimately accepting the mystery of it is a beautiful thing.

I stumbled on to this PJ song and keep coming back to it. I never even knew of Jeff Buckley but I'm sure I've heard his music somewhere. This song somehow weaved it's way into my soul. Only because I like her music in general but also because of my affiliation with the town of Memphis and the great Mississippi River.

The last thing they saw of him, was his smile while he was enjoying the time, OFC at one point he changed his features while drowning, but nobody saw that. So nothing wrong with focus on the last thing they did see

it's courteous to leave songs like these off of major LPs, a cover can be tasteful, but not something like this. i adore the song but i'm glad she left it off of the album!

I really like this song, though didn't appreciate it right away. Love her briskly sharp rhythmic guitar playing here. As far as her voice on this song, it alternates between a hard-edged bracing quality and then a softer, more tender tone. That combo I find interesting. She's such a varied singer, with at least a half dozen voices and purposefully changes her vocal style for different artistic intent from album to album. At her softest or most ethereal, check out, 'Who Will Love Me Now' or 'As Close As This' or 'On Battleship Hill'. Contrast that to her darkest deepest vocal styles in songs such as 'I Think I'm a Mother' or 'To Bring You My Love'. Then there are her more subtlety different singing styles on songs such as 'Catherine' or 'Angelene'. Then her way out there vocals on songs like, 'April' or 'Taut' (You'd HATE those, for sure). My favorite is her raspy style used on songs like 'Send His Love To Me', 'The Dancer' & 'C'mon Billy' from the 'To Bring You My Love' album era.
