Music Monday – “Oh help me Jesus/Come through this storm/I had to lose her/To do her harm”

Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey
