"A Perfect Day Elise" is a song by English alternative rock musician PJ Harvey. The song was released as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Is This Desire? (1998), in September 1998.
Inspired by J.D. Salinger’s “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” PJ Harvey transposes the mindset of a war-shocked and suicidal veteran from paper to sound and what results is something clearly inspired by trip-hop.
