This Mess We're In
PJ Harvey's song, sung with Thom Yorke, on the album that won the Mercury Prize.
2000
stories from the city, stories from the sea
Polly Harvey wrote it for Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, a record made largely about New York, and it is the quietest thing on it: two people in a hotel room, the city outside, everything already over.
Yorke sings the second part. The album won the Mercury Prize in 2001, which Harvey learned about while in Washington on the day of the 11 September attacks.
