PJ Harvey “You Said Something”
from Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

We don’t know exactly what was said and it doesn’t matter. What matters is how the world around her at that very moment looked from a distance, how it smelled as they stood by each other, and how it felt as words were said and never forgotten. It’s like remembering all the peripheral things that we associate with significant times in our lives more so than the thing that prompted the significant event itself. Most times the periphery is what we prefer to look back on or talk about anyways.
