Horses In My Dreams
PJ Harvey · Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea [2000]
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free
Rode a horse around the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free again
I have pulled myself clear
Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free again
I have pulled myself clear
Horses In My Dreams
From PJ Harvey's 2000 album *Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea*, "Horses In My Dreams" stands as a haunting centerpiece of her post-punk revival era. The track blends atmospheric textures with a driving rhythm, characteristic of Harvey's ability to merge folk sensibilities with electronic experimentation. Released during a period where she was redefining the boundaries of alternative rock, the song reflects her signature introspective approach to songwriting. It captures a sense of surreal longing, utilizing layered vocals and a moody production style that became a hallmark of her work on this critically acclaimed record. The composition exemplifies the emotional depth and sonic complexity that defined her discography in the early 2000s.
