Death in June are a neofolk group led by Englishfolk musician Douglas Pearce, better known as Douglas P. The band was originally formed in Britain in 1981 as a trio, but after the other members left in 1984 and 1985 to work on other projects, the group became the work of Douglas P. and various collaborators. Douglas P. now lives in Australia.
Over the band's three decades of existence, they have made numerous shifts in style and presentation, resulting in an overall shift from initial post-punk and Industrial Records influence to a more acoustic and folk music-oriented approach. They are sometimes considered controversial (largely due to usage of themes and imagery relating to Nazi Germany). Douglas P.'s influence was instrumental in sparking neofolk, of which his music has subsequently become a part.
"She Said" is the second single from British musician Plan B's second album The Defamation of Strickland Banks — a concept album whose songs tell the fictitious tale of a sharp-suited British soul singer who finds fame with bitter-sweet love songs, but then loses everything when he ends up in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The single was released as a digital download and on CD single on 24 February 2010. "She Said" was the sixteenth best selling British single of 2010.
Background
"She Said" began to receive increasing amounts of radio airplay throughout February and March 2010. BBC Radio 1 in particular was supportive of the track up until its release. Plan B performed the single on 12 March 2010 edition of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. He also performed on Conan on 19 April 2011. The song was also featured in the start of the pilot episode of Whitney.
Music video
The music video for "She Said" was directed by Daniel Wolfe and shows the soul singer Strickland Banks, played by Plan B, in court following the events of the "Stay Too Long" video. The video also stars actress Vicky McClure as Strickland Banks' girlfriend and Kaya Scodelario as the female lead.
"She Said" is a song by The Pharcyde featured on the group's second album Labcabincalifornia. The song contains two verses by Slimkid3 and Fatlip, Fatlip's verse in particular is highly regarded among fans and critics of the group for its conversational style delivery and easy flowing pace. Both verses address issues of love and relationships. Slimkid3 does his first verse in his trademark incorporation of both singing and rapping. He also sings the ending of the song.
The original music video for the song finds the group sky diving out of a plane to land on an island resembling Fantasy Island. Each member eventually finds their own woman on the island, while Tre and Fatlip rap about their experiences of love, be it Tre's explanation of desire or Fatlip's attempted pick up of a woman who doesn't want to make love with him. By the end of the video the plane the group arrived on leaves without them, leaving the four of them stranded.
Another video was made for the "She Said" remix (by Jay Dee). it uses footage of the group's visit to Amsterdam. The video, shown in black and white, features the group having fun, riding boats in Amsterdam's canals and smoking cannabis.
The remix by Jay Dee (J-Dilla) includes a sample from the song "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone. The sample, which contains a second or two of heavy rhythmic breathing, can be heard during the opening of the song.

Into that darkness Into that darkness Like jackals howling Like flowers unfolding Into that darkness Into that darkness The banners in tatters The virgin is blessed Into that darkness Into that darkness As if seeking there Hope's bloody prey The dead dog sinking Turning and turning Into that darkness Into that darkness The bodies collapsed Swollen with gas Into that darkness Into that darkness In the hovels and gutters Her face to the storm Into that darkness Into that darkness Still broken, still bleeding The crack of the neck The gut shriek of thunder The blood call of lightning She said destroy in black New York... Into that darkness Into that darkness Like jackals howling Like flowes unfolding Into that darkness Into that darkness The virgin has blessed The call of the beast Into that darkness Into that darkness As if seeking there Hope's bloody prey The dead dog sinking Turning and turning
