Losing Ground
PJ Harvey · Peel Sessions 1991-2004 [2006]
Under my feet
There's a rumbling
There's a crack in the street
It's just no good
It's just no good anymore
Everything i do
Has been done before
Yeah I found my voice
Yeah I got nothing to say
The whole thing started
'Cause my mind has gone away
I used to get high
Now i just get lost
I used to bark at the moon
The first one i came across
Almost here, almost gone
Almost here, almost gone
Almost where, we belong
Better watch where you step
Better watch what you say
Speak the truth here, baby
Believe in what you say
It's just no good anymore
You bet i got trouble baby
You bet i got trouble baby
You bet i got trouble baby
You bet i got trouble baby
Losing Ground
PJ Harvey's "Losing Ground" appears on the Peel Sessions 1991-2004 compilation, capturing her distinctive voice and atmospheric production style from the early 1990s. Recorded for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show, the track exemplifies Harvey's ability to blend folk sensibilities with electronic textures and haunting vocals. Released alongside other Peel sessions, the recording highlights her evolution during this period, showcasing a moody, introspective approach that would define much of her subsequent work. The song stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit between Harvey and Peel, offering a glimpse into her creative process before her major studio releases like "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea". It remains a significant piece of her discography, reflecting the indie rock and art pop movements of the era.
