Poetry and Music: Mick Harvey – “Don’t Say A Thing”

Mick Harvey

“Don’t Say A Thing”

Volume 3 – Delirium Tremens

I love Mick Harvey.  He has always worked with the greats like PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, but it is always such a treat when he releases his solo material.   It has taken 20 years for Mick Harvey to resume his project of translating Serge Gainsbourg’s songs into English and June 2016 sees what for many is the long hoped for continuation of the series, Volume 3 – Delirium Tremens.  The wait has really been worth it, though.  This is an amazing collection.  This is an amazing song.  Thank you, Mr. Harvey, this is tremendous.  It reminds me of some of Brian Eno’s later work, which is a great complement.  Thank you for coming out of the shadows of PJ and Nick.
