Songfacts®:

  • The songs Harvey wrote for her eighth studio album, Let England Shake, were motivated by the ongoing conflicts in the world. The English alternative rock singer-songwriter told NME: "In The Dark Places, that might be Bosnia. You don't know where it is. I was wanting to show the way history repeats itself, really and so in some ways it doesn't matter what time it was, because this endless cycle goes on and on and on."
