Yes we have the rights.  Still to be mastered, maybe tweaked before hand.
 
Interested in what y'all think.
 
For those interested, the electric guitars were recorded w/ the proto type of the next Warm preamp. Through a $100 ribbon.

sorry to say, I'm not hip to PJ Harvey, but do like what what I'm hearing... Cool tune... I love the sound of the guitars...
I kept waiting for a loud, rude Drum arrangement to come in, but it never happened... too bad... I think that would make this tune more interesting... Good work...

I'm with Frank, waited for the drums to kick in. Other than that nice guitar sound and nice vocals. Very nicely done for what you have, now put some drums to it and call it wonderful.

Peace and blessings, John

I saw P. J. Harvey in the 90s during the peak of her career.  Though she put on a decent performance, it didn't equal the quality of her songwriting.  You've managed to capture the essence of her song while making it better, in my eyes.  With or without drums, this is a terrific version.  I think that a lot of people would be surprised at the number of good songs she's written while remaining relatively unknown to the masses.

Love the dirty/earthy tone of the guitar. I also was looking forward to hearing some percussion.  Great vocal delivery.  If I had to nit the mix the delay on the lead vocal could be backed off a smidge. GREAT JOB!

cool song, although I do not know the original. I also waiting for some drums to kick in, and believe it would do the sound good. very nice female voice. all in all a bit too long with 4 minutes length, for there is not so much happening after 2:00. what I did like was the "i'm going down"-vocals at the end. I was just about to stop listeing when they kicked in ;-)

Jeez, I wrote this morning before I went to the ranch but it must have got lost in the ether.

My wife's band recorded a version w/ drums but never released it.  She got the rights.  We decided to do a slower, stripped down version.  It got a little full, esp. toward the end, even w/o drums.  funny how that can happen. 

Never saw PJ Harvey live.  Yea, she has writtten a lot of good songs.  Thanks for the kind words, Lynn.

Kev, I've been playing around w/ that some.  it is hard to get it right thoughout the song.  And now the singer, after I post it, decides she wants to redo the verses, which means the whole thing.  I don't mind, the song is right in her range and when she's on (they do it live) she can rip off your ears on this and still sound good.  Time to back off the mic, dear.

Speedtom, I kept trying to add interesting bits - I mostly do electronic stuff where repitition is part of our motif repitition is part of our motif and dropping in the on and off oddity is the rule.  But the "tumbling down" stuff was added almost as an afterthought.  Another girl I work w/ (tho she lives on the west coast) got her vo studio up (finally!) and sent that part to me.  When I added Breveb to make it more "chorusy" I found a preset and it clicked right into the groove.  Sue will like it.  And for me it does kick off the end.

Thanks for the listen and thoughts.  Since I've got to go back for the vocals, I'll use some of your suggestions.

Great voice and I love the sound of the guitars. Very clean and professional sounding production to my ears.

Don't know the song at all, so no idea at all how it differs from the original. I loved the guitar tones, and the vox sound good too. I was waiting for something else to kick in as it was starting to feel a bit long - the backing vox at the end just about saved it, though I would still be interested to hear it kick up a gear or two before then.

Was very Clean sounding...I agree this needs drums or even someone just bangin on a Cajon.
