    "comment": "This track's iconic music video, directed by Maria Mochnacz, features Harvey's over-the-top glam look she dubbed \"Joan Crawford on acid.\" Wearing a flowing dark wig, false eyelashes, a slinky red dress, and bright red lipstick, the singer embodies the song's murderous mother as she swims through green waters searching for her dead daughter.\n\nHarvey said the exaggerated makeover reflected her love of dressing up and trying new styles, but she admitted to The Guardian, \"There was confusion with myself at that time as to who or what I was, and it was a way of looking for answers.\"\n\nHarvey's new duds were nearly her downfall. She told MTV: \"Making that video was very scary for me. I think it was most frightening because the wig was so heavy that when I went under the water, it really was hard to get to the surface again. Especially after spending the whole day of jumping in and out of the pool, and it was cold and I was wearing clothes and high heels trying to swim around. It was pretty scary.\" https://tinyurl.com/5h8fv7bn",
