  • That girl needs a good meal =/

  • PJ is so hot! PJ rocks!

  • Hello Ben

  • strasno dobra stvar.... :)

  • She is so godamned beautiful

  • amazing, pj harvey and a song concerning jd salinger short story!

  • Does the intro to this song sound like Ava Adore by Smashing Pumpkinds to anyone else?

  • omg it does ahhaah

  • thanks, i thought so.

  • Sounds like there is a lot of "headless chickens" music in this song and her style.

  • godess!

  • love this woman

  • The only video i'd say that about is This is Love. My taste is very strange and i would think more people would agree with you here. I think she's to skinny and her hair is messed up in this video but the blue and red she's wearing she looks incredibly hot. Her eyes, lips, facial expressions, and talent make her gorgeous no matter what.

  • Agree. Very interesting, talented woman. There's simply something 100-% natural female about her. And we, real males, can sense that something ;-)

  • 100% agree!!!

  • 5/5 !!!

  • She looks different in every video I see her in.

    :O

  • It turns my stomach to think of the Britney Spears of this world-Making it so big & rich, when true genius' the Polly Jean Harvey is only to be found, when you look REALLY hard.

    I love her to death-The woman IS talent and class, if I ever seen it.

  • So true

  • Theres obviously more people who wanna hear about having it off with 3 guys and jumping around in short loin cloths than actual music. C'est la vie :)

  • I don't want to sound evil but each Britney Spears gets what they deserve for making a living of their (not at all hot) bodies in a business where talent and/or creativity should be the most important thing. Look at BS. She's a mess, I wouldn't be surprised if she got actually mentally ill for all the attention. PJ on the other hand will be respected for ever by people who once discover her. That's why I think that there's justice in the world of music :)

  • 100% RIGHT

  • A cute devil...

  • Never was much into female singers and song writers but let's get real - PJ is one of the best.

  • PJ is awesome as always.

  • I luv polly jean!!!!!

  • first time i hear this.i got hooked straight away!

  • I just heard P J Harvey mentioned on the 'Gilmore girls'. This is the first song i heard of hers.. Love it.. Thank you Rory G!

  • hahahaha

  • Fantastic song from a fantastically talented artist. simply beautiful:)

  • PJ ROCKS!♥

  • It feel's wrong to want this lady in a sexual way, but great song.

  • whys that wrong? bitch is fine!

  • why does it feel wrong?

  • The album is "Is this desire". I highly recommend it. She has said that she thinks it's her best one & that she's not sure she can match it again!

  • flood is an amazing producer. you could tell he had something to do with his song (regardless of the description on the left).

    what pj harvey album is this off of?

  • great

  • I just came across this video because my name is Elise and I just became a fan.

  • Great musican. I lovet

  • You're so lucky. I'd love to be discovering PJ Harvey for the first time.

  • 3 you fucking prick.

  • I remember the first time I heard this song and watched this video, I felt really good.

  • The style suits her. I love her!

  • Psalmistic BullsEye!!!!! Greetings FRom CHASMA!

  • are you fucking stupid? i'm a huge massive fan of both, like psycho fan of both. they're nothing alike. fiona's music is more piano based with a larger focus on lyrics and thought. while pj really relies on doing a radically different sound each album, with more focus on the music.

  • No offense to Fiona, but you have strange judgment.

  • a perfect song P J

  • Her lyrics are so tactile...

    "God is the sweat running down his back"

    "The water soaked her blond hair black"

    She's just fantastic.

  • Eh! Don't watch this at four in the morning! Brrr!

  • It is only 2am..I like it;)

  • Saw PJ in Spain. What an amazing lady. The guitar looks bigger than she does but she KICKS!!!! Great singer songwriter. What a talent!!

  • Great song!  Very good video too. I think PJ Harvey is underrated

  • Awesome

  • cheers to the red white and blue - but who's who?

  • Anyone know who directed this video? Is it Fioria Sigismondi?

  • No, was Maria Mochnacz

  • Polish connection;)

  • Gorgeous, evocative song.

  • i like very much PJ!!!!!

  • A perfect song pj

  • I'm one male who is not ashamed to admit liking Polly Jean's music.

  • Hear, hear!

    Me too. :)

  • Cheers!

  • Love how she encompasses women from all age sets and groups, unbelievably excellent song and video, I think it is supposed to be creepy, creepy subject matter.

  • fuck you!

  • Fuck you!

  • well maybe shes so skinny

    so?..

    her music is excellent!!

  • who the F*Ck cares!>|? She's great!

  • that s what im sayin!

  • It's good to see that people come on here to leave comments about the music itself, and not leave meaningless shallow comments.

  • " weird " ?, how so? i think she looks beautiful, elegant and classy as always. love this song, and her little dances too, PJ rocks!

  • she could stand to gain about 20 pounds of mostly muscle

  • she looks weird in this video i like how she looks i the this is love video but i still love the song

  • Kind of had a creepy "The Shining" feel to it.

  • she looks pretty in this video

  • trop mignonne

  • such a great song

  • I love this song. it's so beautiful and so straightforwardly poignant. Pj rocks!

  • Man, Flood has an awesome archive of great work!!

  • Comment removed

  • ik heet ook elise!!!

    mooie naam he;)

  • Good grief what a load of bilious condescending old pony.

    I wouldn't mind if it was at least partially accurate.

    There is truly nothing more vomit inducing than people who over-analyse art in some ridiculous half-arsed quest for empathy or self affirmation.

    For fucks sake stop patronising people. Just listen to the songs and take from them what you will. Then afford others the same courtesy.

    Stop trying to tell other people how to enjoy music and let them listen for themselves!

  • Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans.... You really do write some inaccurate pompous rubbish!

    :o\

  • ShoelBoy, it really is tragic that we don't harbor the 'omniscience' gene that you so clearly possess. Your comment offers no specific, content-related refutation - just a juvenile compulsion to insult someone who posted her opinion A YEAR AGO. Please do us all a favor by putting your genius to better use, like curing cancer or ending world hunger...or stepping in front of a speeding train.

    You, sir, are a class act through and through. Congratulations.

  • Try engaging brain before typing next time. There is no content-related refutation, because I don't refute anything about the content of this video. I do, however, refute your speculative opinion (poorly dressed as fact) in it's entirety.

    I don't feel the need to patronise readers by quoting you in your verbose entirety, I'll simply credit them with enough intelligence to work it out for themselves, should they choose to.

  • P.S. Trying to pass off speculative opinion as fact in an attempt to look clever, in fact just makes you look a twat :o)

  • my name is elise, wow i feel like shes talking to me...

  • My name's Elise, too.

    Weird.

  • The vid's kind of a dud, but the song just kicks my ass...

  • I met her (:

  • What was she like? I passed her in the street at Waterloo but I was too shy to talk to her

  • I talked to her on the phone once haha!

  • What was she like? What did u talk about?

  • She just asked for my uncle, it was when we were house sitting lol (:

  • Favourite Dave Gahan female singer.Well,he's got the point :°)

  • ...Wow, you've reached a new level of ignorance, and for Youtube, that's an accomplishment.

  • Rather than simply saying whether or not the song was of superior quality, you took the low road and dissed her on her looks. How suprising.

  • I don't think it has to do with PJ at all. My guess is that the guy just hates religion. There are comments like this on Beck and Nick Cave youtube videos too. (Those two with PJ are my favorites).

  • SHE IS NOT UGLY. How could u be so insensitive? jealousy im guessing.

  • Simply Brilliant

  • wow.. I'm completely stunned by this beautiful song!

  • I read somewhere that this is about JD Salinger's story "A perfect Day for Bananafish" It's in his book nine stories and there are some similarities, also he has another story called "pretty mouth and green eyes"- and she uses that line in "angelene"

  • pj is a voracious reader, of multiple genres, and a significant intellectual. Almost all of her songs have literary genus. (check out her song "the garden" and let me know who you think she is singing about) My world is definitely a better and smaller place due to her music, compassion and worldliness.

  • I remember when they used to play the hell outta this on MTV2. When MTV@ still played videos. PJ is fantastic, but this isn't one of my favorites.

  • after only HEARING pj songs for YEARS, seeing her in videos, especially live, is RIVETING. this woman is amazing and i am a die hard tori amos fan.

  • yeah. it certainly is about obsession, or an intense kind of voyeurism.

  • I've stayed in the hotel that's in this video :) it's right on the brighton pier

    I love this song and yay :)

  • Really? You stayed in the Burlington hotel on the Brighton pier?

    Thats funny because i could have sworn the Burlington, (yes the hotel in this video) Is in Worthing! you utter penis!

    Pj Harvey can stay at my place anytime she likes :P

  • I googled the worthing one and it looks exactly the same as the brighton one, so they are clearly the same corporation... it's an easy mistake to make tbh and the people I stayed with in brighton agreed with me

    and don't call me a penis, there's no need.

  • freaking great!

  • On anyone else, that haircut would be extremely unflattering, but on Miss Polly Jean it is quite lovely.... Could anyone else make a London bordello seem like such a desirable place to live? I think not.

  • she is so beautiful and talented but i just want to feed her. SERIOUSLY every single video I've seen so far she is painfully thin.

  • Great song- I named my girlfriend Elise after this song

  • you named your girlfriend? didn't she have a name already? what did you do before she got a name, just smile and wave a lot? lol.

    Elise is a lovely name tho, plus you can write it upside down on a calculator, which is always a plus

  • Cute, but what, exactly is this song about? Is it about obsession, and murder? ...could think of nothing but her name Elise..said a prayer pulled the trigger and cried.. Do you like your girlfriend?

    (I'm teasing I'm sure you do. But if you listen to the words it is a bit strange, GREAT song, though, honestly. good taste in music) :)

  • that's such an interesting thing to say

  • I forgot just how good PJ Harvey is!

  • So English..

  • sounds like should be in a jason bourne film lol .. a nude sceen lol ha!

  • Does anyone else think she looks like Christian Bale? The same bone structure and both immensely beautiful people.

  • Fucking great.

  • she is so cool *.*

  • oboy. lotta thumbs down. guess my critique did not go over well. what i meant was... i would make sweet love to her. yes that is what i meant. she looks like she wants sweet love made to her. besides, she really did date vincent gallo, by the way. i think that was what the song "this is love" was all about. this is my favorite pj harvey song also. she is a true artist.

  • ...I think you just mean you want to have sex with her? haha

  • this sounds re-edited. still great.

  • "there is nothing spiritual left in the world except art"? how about nature, the trees, birds, reptiles and phibians, fishes, insects, grasses, skies, rocks, and me? i love them too, especially regina. the fastronauts have multiplied, the quickening accellerates. . .

  • I am fully agree with you!

    Every wish.

    Bernhard.

  • concerning the underrating buzz, if someone is underrated it simply means that the artist does not belong to the horrific mainstream pop

  • fantastic song but great actress as well!!!

  • are those stones in the beginning?

  • i think they are the stone beach that you see in the next frame

  • i love her

  • ADOROOOOOOOO!

  • PJ aint underated, she just isn't pop. I don't think she cares as she has made more than enough to make what she likes. I saw who with crowds of about 10000 1 time. This song is a favourite of mine and she is smokenly sexy in intrigueing. Great sounds. :-)

  • totally right!

  • PJ Harvey is one of those artists who are sadly underrated and obscure. She's a genius. A true pioneer and a brillant guitarist. So few people even know who she is nowadays. It's sad. I've been a fan since 95' & she's never given me a reason to stray.

  • MattyD794, I couldn't have said that better myself. So well spoken, my friend. Anytime I want to feel inspired, I listen to this song. So sad all female artists now are so cookie cutter. And if they are unique, they had to have bit Polly Jean's style a bit.

  • While I partly agree with you (PJ is definetly the most inspired female musician out there, and also my favorite musician of all time), I still advise you to take a look at some other female musicians of her caliber: Bjork, Patti Smith, Lucinda Williams, Erykah Badu, Neko Case, Sleater-Kinney, Siouxsie Sioux, etc. I don't disagree with you entirely, I just think you're over-generalizing a bit

  • Oh, I adore those gals, too! Bjork is one of my fave vocalists ever, and what she does with music is art. I also love Beth Orton, Regina Spektor, Imani Coppola, Ani DiFranco, Portishead, Mystic, Patrice Pike of Sister 7, and Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo. Well, I dabble in everything, but those are my picks. ;) I love most underground music in general.

    "Music is food for the soul"

    "There is nothing spiritual left in the world except art."

  • She's not at all underrated - she is absolutely adored by a lot of people.

  • j'adore cette fille she's very wonderfull creative perfect!!!

  • mais oiu! =) vous ave right! lol Can't remember how to say you are right. ;)

  • Vous avez raison*

  • merci beaucoup. ;-)

  • De rien ^^'

  • I like her skirt :).

  • the time is gone when artists take risks like this anymore.

  • we'll see ;) I'm editing a music vid right now, let's see what happens. ;) Wish me luck!

  • hi, I just saw her, but it sems she has pretty good songs :)

  • My Name is Elise too <33

  • dlaczego ona jest taka chuda:P

  • PJ Harvey is great! Nice clip!

  • i'm lucky that my name is Elise!

  • why?
