Can't Catch Polly is an indie-blues song exploring the theme of movement and our connection to our bodies.
I was lucky to spend a lot of time working alongside dancers and engaging with movement in 2023, and was further inspired by seeing PJ Harvey live and being as mesmerised by her movements as I was by her voice.
Ths song starts from this awestruck perspective, but the 'she' referred to by the last verse could be any one of us.
