Some beautiful short film-making by Seamus Murphy but without PJ Harvey's soaring musical tracks, they would not be nearly as urgent or as potent. What a powerful combination of the visual and of sound....chicken or the egg?
Something magical about the singing. About the topic. About the naked simplicity of it all. It pierces through the many layers of my cynicism, goes straight to my goddam heart. Were I a thick frame glasses hipster asshole, I'd call you Polly Jean (just to show the world I can google a wikipedia article too). But I'm not. I still love you to death, PJ Harvey.
if not for the web, we don't get music like this in america--a steady stream of serenading android pleasure bots and tough guys, even our country western music has adopted ghetto tendencies--all in all, i am liking pjharvey and kudos on the recent award win.
Truly beautiful compliment to a truly beautiful song. The old mechanic speaking the lyrics reminds me that art is for everyone, should they choose to accept it. It is not inaccessible, distant, abstract. It is human communication, concrete. Thank you Polly Jean and Seamus Murphy. There is hope for art film, after all.
PJ makes me remember how beautiful a language English is. We tend to forget it even as foreigners since we hear it pretty much everyday in the radio or else. Thank you for your wonderful songs and lyrics PJ.
i'm amazed that she found people who played they roles and spoken her lyrics like this man. it's truly inspiring and it gets me into peaceful mood. :D
her voice is simply amazing. so versatile.

pj has created a great kind of psych/folk music and the pagan priestess look she has adopted matches it perfectly
very accessible and also very beautiful and emotional - brilliant!
