there in the dry, it’s raining 5 - star reviews, and here i sit, trying to get right with my 3 - star drip - drop. maybe i’m using silly water analogies because i’m remembering how parched this locale is, a small farm town in australia, and i need some liquid. i’m sure that a big part of the allure of this story (about a guy, falk, who is trying to solve a heinous crime) is its vivid, scorched setting. everything is hot and dry and slow. i didn’t feel the heat for some reason, but i definitely felt th

눉 on floor 3 the hallway looked old & outdated, functional though, my guess it comes down to practicalities .
despite river’s protestations to the counselor, we know he loved stevie, although what kind of love it was is unclear. at this early stage, i see them as father and daughter or the doctor and his companion. he’s protective, but she’s easily as capable and clever as him .
that shot of river, perched high in the tree with the “ghost” of the dead girl sitting next to him is sublime. her boyfriend is moved to a holding cell while she reads from romeo and juliet; juliet’s dying speech, and river realises he is going to make a second attempt at suicide .
so in the end, they both go down to the river (
my baby and i
) to revisit the place of their favourite memories and see if they can find some of their old love again. but it' s not going to be the same. the fact that the river is dry represents this. there' s going to be a certain emptiness about it no matter how hard they try .
still, it’s nice to know that harvey herself has strong affection for the album locked away. “i do think is this desire? is the best record i ever made — maybe ever will make — and i feel that that was probably the highlight of my career, ” she later told the sun telegraph. “i gave 100 percent of myself to that record. maybe that was detrimental to my health at the same time. ”
then we meet the ghastly thomas neill cream, the infamous lambeth poisoner, played with relish by eddie marsan. river’s been reading about him and his rather unpleasant ideas, but i’m assuming that this is the last we’ll see of him after river decided to silence his angry ranting once and for all .

i went into this book knowing the hype was high and many of my goodreads friends loved it. i was hoping to temper my expectations but i shouldn’t have been worried. this was an excellent book my friends! i can’t believe this is jane harper’s debut novel. i’m impressed by her writing and storytelling. the dry was gripping from the beginning to the end. no joke. the book starts with aaron falk coming back home for the funeral of luke hadler. aaron is a federal investigator living in melbourne and wa

i blame aaron falk. he just made me add a new shelf on goodreads. series. you see, i don' t like book series. with a few exceptional characters preceding aaron falk (harry potter, christian grey, edward cullen, kinsey milhone) have i read an entire series. it' s just too much of a commitment and then i feel guilty if i miss a book in the series. i will not be missing any book that aaron falk is in. ever. no way, no worries, mate. i am so late to the dry party that i almost didn' t read it. finally ,

i know it' s early days, but i have a feeling this will be a top read of 2017 for me; i' ll go as far as saying if i had read it last year it would have been in my top 2016 reads. the writing is excellent, the pacing was quick with fully fleshed characters, and the ending was satisfying without being too cut and dry. half the fun of this story is, even if you guess at the who, you probably won' t guess the why until it' s revealed. this was a perfect example of a book being extremely dark and terrif
the shot of the thames at night and the river logo over the top gives no hint of the emotional wrench that is to come. i like the way it’s branded like a traditional cop show but then pulls the rug out from under you quite suddenly .
, is this a springsteen written song? the writers as mentioned above the song are listed as
the river
as written by martin terefe and katie victoria tunstall .
dry made an immediate impact: island signed the group, nme ranked dry among its all - time 100 albums (in 1993 !), and kurt cobain, who didn’t live long enough to hear to bring you my love, famously listed it as one of his faves. so put it this way: had pj harvey immediately quit music after making this disc, she wouldn’t be a household name, but you’d still see knowing record store clerks today pointing towards dry and letting you know it’s real good shit .

tongad answered for him. “they’re happy with mining, ” he said. “groundwater depletes: no problem. river is dying: no problem. ”
once we know that stevie is dead (but not a ghost, river is clear about that) river’s internal world is unleashed on to the screen. his other imaginary friends, temporary residents in that rather crowded mind palace, start to pop up. when this week’s murder victim (who turned out not to have been murdered) sits at his dining table, telling him she needs to pack for university, i assumed it was his daughter. and i like that it wasn’t all explained with exposition - heavy dialogue. it’s nice to be left to work things out for yourself for once .
dry is great. dry is stronger than it has any right to be. in any reasonable universe, pj harvey should have had a mediocre or vaguely amateurish debut to her name. this we would point to as a product of inexperience and youth — something to humanize her, something along the lines of slint’s tweez or sleater - kinney’s self - titled .

“no one listened when we warned of the dangers of sand mining, ” my wife’s uncle shaji told me. with nearly all the sand removed from the river, the water table had dropped for miles around. when the monsoons came, the water whooshed away as quickly as the rain fell. the ordinary wells ran dry, so people drilled tube wells deep into the earth; now some of those were running dry, too. the local rice paddies were long gone. along the river’s route, several major bridges faced collapse, because the loss of sand had weakened their foundations .

the director didn’t want a lugubrious or mournful score, though. he wanted something that at times would be very life - affirming, in fact, even though the film is full of trials and tribulations. but he was also interested in low tones, and indeed, hinchliffe took some his cues from the d - minor stylings of pearl jam’s “release” throughout .

he went on, “some people think it’s because i’m lazy or i’m just being contrary. but, no, i think it’s just—i’ve had my say. if i put out an album now, it would probably sell pretty well, because of who i am, but that’s no reason to do it. i’d want it to be good. and i’ve seen artists on that treadmill, putting out albums year after year, and the albums get worse and worse, less and less interesting, and it’s, like, maybe you should stop. ”
wow, this was really a great book! i love it when books which are hyped actually live up to the praise they' re getting, and jane harper' s the dry definitely did. this book had everything—great writing, a terrifically evocative setting (i felt hot every time i read it, and it wasn' t just because i' m running a fever, and i kept expecting everyone i came into contact with to speak with an australian accent), interesting character development, and lots of twists and turns. it' s amazing to think tha
i asked him if he was afraid of losing it—if he was afraid of what people might say. “there’s no fear, ” he said. “i don’t feel like i have anything to prove anymore. what i do have at this point is a horror of celebrity. ” for one thing, he said, “it’s easier to write more personal stuff when you’re not as well known. ” once he became famous, people read too much into his work. “you can’t create something that’s an independent entity, made out of whole cloth. they know who you’re in a relationship with, what your past is. they tend to draw their own conclusions. your image becomes more powerful than the things you create. ” he went on, “i was seeing it begin to happen when i was doing ‘river of dreams. ’ i had gone through this celebrity craziness with christie, and the divorce. i felt like there was a proctoscope up my butt. everybody interrogating, analyzing—everything i wrote was fraught with meanings—and i said, wait a minute, i don’t want to rip myself open and let everyone see everything. it was no longer comfortable. enough! i gave you enough! ”
“i was trying to fuse, at times, the music with the sounds of the industry, of the furnace, ” he says. “i think the musical identity is very much from russell baze’s character, who is a blue collar working guy whose world is collapsing around him, economically, culturally and in terms of his family. the music is like the kind of blues around his life .
in my personal opinion, if this isn' t a 5 - star read, then i don' t know what is. impeccable. atmospheric and beautifully written, this is part police procedural, part thriller / murder mystery. it opens with a bang and will have you glued until the very last page. this is one of those books that you will find yourself trying to sneak in pages here and there, whenever you have a single spare moment, because you will want to know how it ends. absolutely unputdownable, i finished this in 24 hours and
a wonderful song that has probably moved me to tears more than any song that has ever been written.' the river' itself is fairly clearly a reference to sex and the desperation of the end of a relationship. but the song seems to be about the futility of life in general, and how we keep on doing things even when we know there is no point to them anymore .

i was both gutted and delighted when the big reveal happened. yes, it did take me that long to figure it out. not until i saw the gory mess that used to be the back of stevie’s head did i twig that river’s watery eyes and dogged pursuit of that young drug dealer were all for her – his recently murdered partner .

i sigh with relief when i realize i' ve read a 5 star book at last. i sigh with content. the setting was kind of interesting, and i have always believed that pound for pound, australian literature has been punching above its weight for quite some time. this book was so good. so freaking good. it doesn' t need any words. not that i have a clue about its reputation... i picked it up on a whim and haven' t looked back since. this is the writing that will entice millions across the globe. it' s been centuries since the classical revolution, and the empirical golden age, yet the english language seems to be a leader in authors and books. it shows no sign of abating. i hope it will keep on churning books like the dry centuries after my death .

this one' s a stunner! kiewarra near melbourne australia is in the midst of a severe drought. the ground is hard and cracked, plants are dead and brown, and the river is bone dry. the residents are all under stress economically. when a farmer, luke hadler, appears to have killed his wife and child and then committed suicide, the powder keg is ready. aaron falk, a federal police officer in melbourne, receives a note that draws him back to the town he left twenty years ago .

i think the river is just a metaphor for their hopes and dreams. in the beginning of the song, they' re young, in high school, and have all these dreams of the future. they dive into them, meaning they just bask in their hope of what' s to come .
finally we arrived at the floodplains of the yamuna. we stopped to survey the deep pits and fresh tracks where sand miners with earthmovers had been working under cover of night. similar pits dotted the land as far as the horizon, some large enough, i later learned, that children used them as cricket grounds. the mining has shifted the course of the yamuna, destroyed animal habitats, damaged crops and threatened the purity of local groundwater, and it may be causing buildings to sink. but it’s especially difficult to single out the effects of sand mining on the yamuna because the river is troubled in so many different ways. the truth is that with the exception of a couple of months during monsoon season, by the time the yamuna river reaches greater noida, there is no river at all .
the only clanging howler is river and ira’s visit to the young murder suspect in prison. they interview him without his lawyer present, which no police officer would ever do, not even a maverick one. this is the only time morgan falls down, i think. if the facts don’t fit a scene, she just gently pushes them aside to focus on the drama .

i’ll admit i’ve spent five years waiting for my opinion of this record to expand from “this is a neat and fascinating concept album about war” to “this is a masterpiece. ” i’ll also admit my biggest gripe with let england shake is pretty simplistic: it’s the opener. the title track. it’s not very good! i don’t like the sluggish “istanbul (not constantinople) ” callback, i don’t like the off - key autoharp strumming, i don’t like the way the singer interjects the name “bobby! ” harvey has brought us astonishing album openers from “rid of me” to “the devil. ” here she sinks into a plodding half - groove and lets it ride for three minutes. the lyrics are great (“head out to the fountain of death and splash about? ” yes, please) but i’m stuck on that autoharp .
i think it’s a crucial step towards challenging the monopoly that hollywood has over audiences across the world .
singh eventually realized that law enforcement alone would not be enough to stop the theft; arresting the leaders of many smaller mafias may be an even greater challenge than ousting a big gangster like chadha. now his focus is on harm reduction. central to his argument is an exasperating fact: there really is enough sand in the rivers and offshore to meet india’s demand for concrete and plaster, at least according to many conservationists. in some cases sand mining can even be beneficial. an oversilted river — a river with too much sand — is also prone to flooding and changing course, and strategic sand mining can help keep it on track. the catastrophes occur only when specific, vulnerable stretches of river are overmined. there’d be no problem if the construction industry mined only from river sites with a carefully identified surplus of sand .

basically, joel had to start over. the mandate was clear: go forth and earn. he made two more albums, “storm front” (1989) and “river of dreams” (1993), each a big commercial, if not quite critical, success: about eight million copies sold apiece. and then the river went dry. he hasn’t made another pop album since. (in 2001, there was an album of his classical piano pieces, performed by a professional pianist .) his marriage to brinkley was falling apart.

cooper reiterates the point, noting, “i don’t want anyone to ever say, ‘look how clever he is with the way he moves the camera, ’ or, ‘look at those very arch, histrionic performances, ’ or, ‘look at those outlandish costumes. ’ i want all of that stuff to recede into the background and i knew dickon would be able to lend a very cinematic and atmospheric score and do exactly what i wanted. he delivered, i think, an astounding score, one that does not call attention to itself but is very rich and vibrant. ”

there' s a layer of meaning to this song that springsteen may or may not have been intended - but it' s there. musiclover - mrm points out that the river is figuratively meant as
belief in how good things would always be
. the river offers a baptismal soul - cleansing. when the narrator was young it never mattered how bad things in life got because he (and mary) could go down to the river and somehow that would make everything alright - at least for a little while .

but she didn’t quit. i guess you could critique dry by saying it’s not as good as rid of me, but what kind of pointless criticism is that? of course it’s not as good as rid of me. nothing is as good as rid of me. your first - born child isn’t as good as rid of me. sure, dry ’s production is a little tinny and doesn’t pack the full - body wallop of, say, “ecstasy, ” but there wasn’t time! harvey didn’t have island covering the bill or albini manning the boards. she needed to get these songs out of her system, out into the world. and honestly, what a confident and fully formed first batch of songs this is .
this will probably be the most controversial ranking on this list. is this desire? isn’t a particularly well - loved album, even among some pj harvey fans. i adore it. i think it’s her forgotten masterpiece. let me explain .
vedder penned a number of songs “that were just so beautiful and haunting, ” cooper says. “i would place them into the film and they were nearly perfect. in fact, i would say they were too perfect because as i would toy with them in the narrative and try to place them in certain areas that i thought would be most effective, i found myself being drawn out of the story into how beautifully crafted and how potent they were. ”
if i’d known, i would have done things differently. it was too late for that now. some things had to be lived with. the dry is such a heavy and ‘adult’ book: not in the sexual content or violence, although there were several stomach - churning descriptions, no, it’s such an ‘adult book’ in the sense of maturity, with hardships, human disconnections and buried secrets. the book simply felt genuine and full of emotions. do books have emotions anyhow? well, it certainly made me full of emotions, i can tell you that. the story is better than i expected yet still, probably about 4 stars for me but the writing is exceptional: very atmospheric, it was more like ‘watching’ movie than just ‘reading’ a book for me. things were so vivid, too vivid to be contained only to the pages, i suspect .
so she made dry look like kid stuff. shock is one potential medical reaction to harvey’s harrowing lyrical terrain, which channels lovesick abandonment and alienation into violent and occasionally homicidal imagery. she’ll tie you down (“rid of me”) and cut off your legs (“legs”) and stick needles in her voodoo doll (“yuri - g”) and stroke your manhood until it bleeds (“rub ‘til it bleeds”) and douse hair with gasoline and set it alight (“man - size”). and then she’ll add insult to injury and tell you you leave her dry, as on the delectable, slide - assisted “dry. ”
one way to answer the question is:' i would describe the taste of an apple as refreshing because of how juicy they are. while a person may not be able to taste, they can probably feel the juice as they bite into the apple. when i think about apples, i imagine the fresh, juicy sensation that comes with taking my first bite.'

as i came to know manimala, it became clear that the river had mostly been mined by the villagers themselves. you could see the evidence in many of the new houses nestled among the rubber trees and coconut palms. some were made of concrete, large and sprawling and brightly colored: pink, neon yellow, fire - engine red. a few had heaps of sand out front to be used for concrete or plastering for new wings and other renovations .

* 4. 5 stars! * what a book. i had to sleep on this one. not like, right on top of it, it was just a little to the left of my pillow, but i needed time to process. it’s not as though this read was so incredibly intoxicating that i couldn' t wrap my head around it—quite the contrary, actually. the pace is steady and slow, verging on dull at times but never quite crossing that line. the plot itself is packed with twists, but they felt gentle and weren' t especially shocking. so what did it for me? the a

i prefer to take the lyrics literally rather than treat
the river
as a metaphor for anything. the song is thus pretty self - explanatory. the narrator grew up in a very conservative rural village. his teenage romance with mary resulted in her getting pregnant, so they had to have a shotgun wedding, otherwise they would have ended up as outcasts. some years later, they are now returning to the river - the place where they used to play and romance together during the best days of their lives .
this is why the symbolism towards the end of the song is so damn heartbreaking. in the end even the river isn' t there anymore. it dried up. now there' s no escape, no source of redeption for the narrator. you grow up and there' s nothing that can make things right anymore. springsteen is a pretty switched - on writer - and i think he' s hip to the multiple layers of meaning that can be contained in a rich powerful song like this .
because, i think, the way you wrote it, it wouldn' t have much sense.
