Love Too Soon

PJ Harvey · Other Songs - PJ Harvey

I have loved

In my life

As a child

I often cried



And love too soon

Can fade away

Love too soon

Can fail away



In the sun

Light of day

I can see

Your face change



And love too soon

Faze away

Love too soon

Can fail away



And this dreadful crime to see

Breaks my heart

Into pieces



Love too soon

Can fade away

Love too soon

Can fail away



How false the heart

How false the day

When you swore your love

The branches now decay



Love too soon

I'm faze away

Love too soon

I'm faze away

Love Too Soon

PJ Harvey's 'Love Too Soon' stands as a defining track from her 1993 debut album, *To Bring You My Love*. The song exemplifies her signature blend of gothic rock and atmospheric indie, characterized by her distinctive, often haunting vocal delivery and introspective songwriting. Released during a pivotal era for British alternative music, the recording captures the raw emotional intensity and lyrical vulnerability that would become hallmarks of her career. It reflects the complex, often painful nature of relationships explored in her early work, setting the stage for her evolution into a more experimental and politically charged artist in subsequent decades. The track remains a testament to her ability to fuse personal narrative with a broader musical aesthetic that influenced a generation of indie and alternative musicians.
