[ptitgro2]

favorite song from that artist

[compcommie]

where can i find the original by weill? which play is it from?

[badgeless]

search amazon for "September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill" It's from a production on tv which I've seen but would love to own. It was incredible. i can't find it but if it comes on again I'll tape it.

[badgeless]

check out the other talent on the soundtrack: Lou Reed, Nick Cave, William S. Burroughs, Elvis Costello, etc.

[mandolaman12]

I'm not sure, I've been wondering both of these too. Love Weill... absolutely love him

[compcommie]

ok, i found out it was not attached to any play, it is just a ballade that him and bertolt brecht wrote in 1942.

[domarat11111]

YT: Kazik Staszewski "Zona zolnierza" -polish old punk version

[mjZstargirl]

This is such a sad video...

[ibasicallytotalyrule]

The moral of this story: don't mess with russians.

[Jonnymont]

[zuluclayman]

ah great stuff - I have september songs on a video that I taped from tv a number of years ago but poor reception :( wish it was on dvd!

[Superwondermanhyper]

Thank god (or something)for Youtube. Nice Polly Jean footage.

[cueballz]

is she from russia?? can't place her accent.. she is very beautiful for sure..

[MightyTiny]

She's a Brit. :)

Search for PJ Harvey Interview to hear her speak.

[Alianger]

not my kind of song, but PJ does this really well.

[TheKarl]

Me to. Both Weill and PJ. Can you send more from this film? Lonely House? Youkali tango? Or all of them! :D

[MightyTiny]

Love Kurt Weil's songs, and PJ Harvey. Saves time to hear the two at the same time! ;)

[siralexdelarge]

true ;) same opinion here

[reinafs]

her words hit true! the oslo part makes me laugh cause I live here now and it's like that

[kikkiokioli]

interestingly, PJ has a nice bruise on her left arm, which you cannot see on any version of this on the web. It comes through well on my clean copy (nothing important, just a mildly interesting factoid for you).

[kikkiokioli]

This was taken from a tribute film 'September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill', which was made back in 1994 with a bunch of artists performing a single song each. Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, etc., etc. Last I checked, it's not commercially available on dvd, though it can be found in some libraries on VHS (as it's somewhat considered an educational film, given the Weill/Brecht importance).

[lcfg]

the one who singos "the ballad of the soldier's Wife" in that project is Marianne Faithful.

[glamstrass]

True, very nice song. And nice that PJ sings it.

This song will still belong, through the years, to our memory :-)

Marianne Faithfull - The Ballad of the Soldier's Wife:

"What was sent to the soldier's wife

From the ancient city of Prague ?

From Prague came a pair of high heeled shoes,

With a kiss or two came the high heeled shoes

From the ancient city of Prague..."

[lcfg]

Lotte Lenya also sung it, and i think Marianne Thought on her performance in this work.

[runningforamsterdam]

when is this from?

[FickleBoon]

Why does it have Swedish subtitles?

[disentegrate]

I have no idea, sorry.

[pinkowl88]

Nice! I never knew about this!

[noqueenblues108]

yes, very nice
