how can a song make you wanna slit your wrists? that's something that must already be inside of you, long before you ever hear the song, stop blaming artists for how you feel about yourself, it's all about where you are in your life, who you are as person, how you view the world and life and yourself, etc.., and most importantly , how YOU interpret the art for yourself, i think this is one of PJ's most beautiful optimistic songs, at least that's what i hear
this was recommended to me by my friend.........its kinda depressing but beautiful at the same time.......i didnt think he wud listen to this type of music tho....certainly amazing
I've always been amused that some of the most negative comments about music are made by people who don't even play an instrument.
"Truly fertile music, the only kind that moves us, will be a Music conducive to Dream" ---Camus (1913-1960)
With that in mind, consider the three inherent qualities of any art (yes; music is included): intensity, unity & complexity. Harvey consistantly demonstrates that her work plainly incorporates all three qualities...

LMAO I've been playing music since I could walk. Your whimsical theory is great, but it doesn't take a composer to tell PJ's music lacks in all of the above qualities you mentioned. Complexity? I've heard Barney songs that are more complex than PJ. Her lyrics repeat over and over, chord progressions OVER and OVER. In fact, any drunk off the street could learn a PJ song within minutes.
Maybe some people want to hear that, chord progressions and lyrics that repeat over and over again, as for me, I think Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea was the best CD I bought this year, it's done so much for me.
lol, I've been a guy my whole life and never cut myself, i just don't see the appeal, I think people keep changing the definition of emo so that it includes everything.
PJ looks SO beautiful here, she looks like she's gained a little bit of weight, so she doesn't look as emaciated. None the matter, the song is one of my favorites.
If only I had the complete works of James Joyce, Wilfred Owen and P.J.Harvey..I could die a contented man....There is nothing more you need to know....!!!

A place for me is in the wings of a dragon, harnesses to its head and feeding on the enemy of the humane till IT is dead. The governments of the USA are torturing us and no one cares. Let it die in infinity or let us try to die, in totality. A place called home does not exist. Kurt Brown -- Saint Ram Bone of Mobile Audit Club
The drums beat of this song is a bit similar to - "Unfinished Sympathy" from Massive Attack (1991). But pj really do her self different song, one more awesome song in her career which is already full of^^
I just love all I heard by PJ today-I do not know why, but today I felt like listen to her-and it is already 3-30 am..beautiful video for this song..Jesus..I want to be in love after this..:)))
there will never be a place called home

The moment we reached heaven has been only one: when we looked at each other, when we shared one space... we started to fall in love.
If i had followed the line, We would still be one. But we broke apart to change, to grow, to evolve.
And now im back at your door, singing this song... I know you still want to love me, reality tells me so.
