When Under Ether

[troubadourrrr]

If Emily Dickinson were a musician, this is how it would sound. It's amazingly dark and potent.

[ritualpenguin]

amazing and totally surprising and the british have stolen our music

[smuckerlingos]

the british have stolen YOUR music?? what the hell are you on about?? sounds fairly pompuous, arrogant and stuck up!! have a word with yourself brother What music? Oh PJ harvey sings with a west england accent by the way, ever heard her talk?

[ritualpenguin]

We are unable to show you the original featured video for this channel due to age or location restrictions. Ever seen this appear whilst gallivanting around youtube? (In Britain you can no longer access all music on youtube)

Well my fine feathered friend, it was that to which I was referring to! I bid you good day.

[smuckerlingos]

it is odd how I noticed in the last few months that I have seen messages such as 'this video is not available in your country' or similar. Why?

[ritualpenguin]

The Performing Rights Society fell out with youtube about a new licensing agreement, all parties blame each other and nothing has been resolved. It's been like this since march 10.

[FlakeyFreakout]

Stole your music ?! She climbed through the kitchen window and ran away with us !!!

[regthedog2000]

Hey love this song, Check out the video i made to go with it. Made the video as a university project.

Thanx

Dayne

[Phazz07]

She had right step! Love " White Chalk "

It's like morning mist or kind cup of green tea or coffee

[Aardvarkieo]

What a wonderfull song, really amazing.

[bigspleens]

this song is so deep...

[wizzydash]

Best Song I've Heard In A Good While (:

xo

[TheCarrotIsHere]

dont take drugs...

please

[neozos]

have you ever asked the drugs about this?they are made for being used and swallowed.

[dareal92]

they're fucking bad!! You can make any experience without drugs! Just ask any famous musician who's taken drugs once a time: Drugs are only there for making you sick!

[neozos]

you sound like a christian or worse.drugs are a natural thing,your brains produce them right now and all the time.there are of corse destructive drugs (cocaine,crack,horse etc),but there are a lot of beneficial entheogenes or other substances that open our -soul- or whatever.i know about this,be sure.the destructive and dangerous moment is a society unable to handle mind.

[cesinis]

the piano riff is just amazing

[biancabrezze1]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[kittons]

one of my favorite songs now. it is a perfect description.

[HeWantsToRun]

Good song, the lyrics make no sence at all, so don't go into it being all deep and meaningful, because it really isn't :\

[kittons]

are you kidding? the lyrics are incredibly "deep and meaningful."

jfc.

[unisysa3]

junkie song lol

i listen to this song wen im all fucked up on class A lol

[TheCarrotIsHere]

NO drugs.

please

[SpaceDrummer16]

you guys have the wrong idea... it's not about sadness, you have to think of it as learning to rediscover the world of beauty around you :)>

[mia1292]

no...it's not...she's having an abortion...."something's inside me unborn and unblessed"

[PurpleBlueHaze]

No!!!!! She had a miscarriage!!!!! Not an abortion!

[bleeding9]

beautiful.

[Dem0nikk]

Im telling you guys do some ether then watch this video and turn it up all the way its AMAZING

[boylovesbowie]

how much pain can a signle note hold ? if it's PJ - infinite ...

this song makes my eyes water everytime ...

old silly me, you've pulled the trick off again PJ :)

[sonicjay007]

sad song,sad time for me when this came out..

[insision]

words cannot describe the beauty of PJ or this song. her new album is amazing

[dgonza16]

This is one of the best songs off of the "White Chalk" album. Truly awesome.

[Dem0nikk]

O hell yeah i was under ether so many times watching this shit its nutz!!

[super1114]

just do yourself a favor - hit the replay button

[theoriginalbenben]

i am seeing pj tonight at the sydney opera house. i cannot wait.

x

[nickthelick]

=O)

I luuuuurve PJ !

[LunaSeaSane]

Just gets better and better with Miss Harves...

[OMGSammysHere]

haha i have those headphones.

[italllies]

if i wasnt so high then this song prob wouldnt be speaking to me in the way that it is. O_0

[LimeTheSlime]

first time I heard it I was high too.

Then I listened to it sober and it was even more amazing.

That's pretty much what got me into PJ Harvey.

[mreesm]

just found this song on a compilation album and cant stop playing it

[paperbagbox]

love this song!

[yiandar]

Love it Love it Love it!!!

Thank you :-)

[wizzardsmith]

She definitely sounds very empty and sad when she's singing this particular song which is how I'd imagine the character to feel as well. She is quite simply one of the best singer/songwriters ever.

[natashaclaire]

partiularly this song, there's something that almost reminds me of Sylvia Plath's writing. Maybe it's the way it doesn't shrink from talking about the darker side of giving, or not giving, birth.

[sundaygirl]

I hadn't really thought about it, but the Sylvia Plath thing is so spot on. And not even just for this song, but the whole album as well.

[boalcura]

very personel album that moves along seamlessly, a real grower

[arg189]

Not as good as previous material

Just my opinion

[hellosiberia]

Hm. Haunting.

[proteinpornografi]

i feel pretty sad when i listen to these lyrics. polly didn't seem to be happy when she wrote it...

[skysurfer0805]

love this

[spotswoodthenewt]

sublime

[vfalcon79]

john parish is a genius.

[whoneedsamaster]

another change in style for pj is there nothing this woman can't do, just dosen't get the recognition she deserves here in blighty

[ladycm16]

did not know it had a video thanks for uploading ,This song is great for night makes you understand it more

[cathy168]

I frickin love this song. It's so simple yet so entrancing at the same time. Thank you PJ!

[o0nbj0o]

Do you people want a video of an foetus being removed and crushed instead or something?

[GustavoXCore]

Yes.

[therealkingfuse]

i hate music like that, but god that song is great

[mokkshaa]

She's gotten more introspective lately. I dig it. She also seems to be more about the piano now, which bring out the vulnerability in her vocals. While I miss her former brashness, I really respect where she's going now.

[laleldon]

I can't believe this is the video! I fucking hate it with all my heart, c'mon this song is really good but with a video like that now one will like to see it or hear the song! FUCK!

[tricia3007]

I agree with you... R U a PJ Harvey fan? Polly is great.. :~)

[laleldon]

I am a huge fan of her, I love polly

[GustavoXCore]

There's no way this is the real video. Someone just made it and upped it for fun.

[laserdave82]

Polly is great!!!

[durber07]

poor

[kalmak3]

didn't do anythin for my hangover

[gruffmedo]

dam thought she would be on drugs

[ouncefeather]

is this about an abortion?

listening to the words

"I lay on the bed, waist down undressed" and "something's inside me unborn and unblessed, disappears in the ether, this world to the next"

'human kindness'?

exiling someone from this life

(someone not something)

unblessed? unwelcomed anyway

ethereal (!) wistful music, a dreamy haze, beautiful in a way. but maybe when the desensitizing ether wears off there are other issues to consider here?

no harm meant, be blessed

[nickthelick]

victorian abortions...

[ChummyJermel]

i dont get why someone thumbs down-ed this because i agree...

[nickthelick]

Woah, I gave it a thumbs down!? What a dick, I didn't realise ! It's +5 all the way...

=O)

[momooks]

damn... I thought the song was quite romantic... that kinda changes things.

[momooks]

damn.. i really thought about my statement and rewrote it like 6 times... sorry but i only know PJ for desert sessions and when i saw her live playing for QOTSA... if that is still a negative then I guess I deserve it

[Sharpblue]

Modular Moogs and VCS3'sin this video.

[broke112]

i just realy dont get it

[holland2312]

esoteric and exoteric? complete wrong use of the words!

i came on here coz i thought 'ether' meant it had sumthing to do wiv chemistry lol, but its actually fucking good! x

[mememezza]

shes so esoteric, the video is exoteric rubbish though.

[serverfour]

yeh esoteric...wots it mean

[skydiving26]

love the album but that video is really crap doesnt go with the song at all...

[PixiesFanatic]

Crap, this sounds like a crappy version of Tori Amos, I'm incredibly disappointed.

[armamo84]

what have you expected. fireworks, rainbows and so on?

[DJdragon83]

what a crap video!! This is the worst video i've ever seen by PJ Harvey. The woman who used to be so creative visually in her videos has delivered this dull footage of a studio to a song that doesn't even suit it. I imagined a great video for this song so i'm very disapointed. Great song, very bad video.

[Ikchu]

it's nice, but i don't think that's the official video, more like some snippets from the EPK footage

[IAmHilarious]

I love candid footage but it doesn't fit for this song.

[isthisdesire80]

is this the official video?? anyway, this song is my fav one, and also "The Mountain" what a beautiful piano *-*

[cristales]

i have recently downloaded the new albuw, i dont think its dull buy a bit...how do you say? onereic

[cesarefumare]

such a beautiful, ethereal song on serious subject and such a cliched, uncreative video - such a shame, shame, shame:(

[ruddegore]

this is a nice song but if the entire album is like this then it'll be a bit dull tbh

[DJdragon83]

Love PJ. Can't wait for the new album!

[msgrjosh]

very good song but the video is a bit of a cop-out, tho I'm not surprised given the subject of the song. They still could have come up with something a little better.
