[@ComplexConfiguration]

@@Sidney-Holiday Uhm lol.. could just be she means she wants to touch the actual head of the "lover".. When you're really into someone, being close to each others heads, kissing, running your fingers through the hair, "touching their head", is a pretty universal thing you feel compelled to do. Not saying you can't feel like going down on them as well, and really want to do that too or that it can't mean both things but.. yeah lol.. its a bit .. semi-far-fetched.. :D

[@chrisschuschu720]

Best female Rockstar on this planet ! And also a very intelligent person.

[@rightweaponry908]

I feel like this song incapsulates soo many different decades of rock n roll. The simplicity of the lyrics and repetitive structure reminds me of the blues, and the booming guitar has a kind of 1950's Link Ray texture, some of the phrasing reminds me of the 60's (wonderful thi-i-i-i-i-i-ing), and her delivery and body language is classic 70's "rockstar". The tasseled jacket and the random kicks for emphasis, it doesn't feel like mimicking it feels like embodying or invoking. It's a shining example to me of a true artist. She is referencing many things while simultaneously synthesizing them into a new and unique creation.

[@danielcrawford2326]

PJ Harvey is a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy era of rock music!

This would probably be my most favourite PJ Harvey song & vid. I's Love This; The relentless repetitive drone of the bass, the contrast of black & white with a splash of red thrown in, the sexy fall of PJs voice at the end of each line, the daimante studded stilettos, the minimalist clothing of trau & tasselled jacket with nothing else, the way PJ prances around, the way she looks a little like Iggy. It's classic PJ Harvey at her best. I love it!
