When this section of the song begins I always wish it would go on forever. It's such a powerful image. Kueken |

Me, too. When this section of the song begins I always wish it would go on forever. It's such a powerful image. Kueken the group of voices behind her add such strength to her voice and such a great support. that chord they sing is absolutely perfect for what she's saying and the emotion behind it. it evokes uncertainty, fear/apprehension because of that uncertainty, and a feeling of needing to push on and through darkness and hoping for some kind of severance. but that's just my thoughts |

It's so dramatic, and very effective. Another chilling moment form me is from "On Battleship Hill" when she sings about jagged mountains jutting out, cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth. I absolutely love that lyric. |

I absolutely love that lyric. i feel like this whole album paints the pictures in your head. that lyric is so perfect and i get a very strong image from it, as i do with all the songs |

^ IA with all these comments. The "our young men" part comes at you strong, leaves you anxious then the songs comes to an abrupt end that's like a big slap in the face. I think Bitter Branches is the perfect follower to that song 'cause Places leaves you frustrated and BB just lets loose and provides a release. |

It was either Polly_Jean_Cave or Black Hearted Love who commented on how 'In The Dark Places' reminds them of The Smiths' 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'. Same with me. Wonderful lyrics to The Smiths song, particularly "And in the darkened underpass..." line. I adore that line. |

I'm there too And it even plays in my head when I'm not playing it I was on holidays when the album was released, so in 2 days time I had the double shock of listening to the whole album for the first time and seeing her play it live. As much as I had doubts when the first samples came out, now I know it's good. It's goooooooood.... It's so good, I think in the future it will be considered among her most significant albums in retrospect. Who agrees? |
