PJ Harvey - The Devil

[edishine]

you are so beautifull, you erase my soul כל פעם מחדש

[gilbertbodart2]

@madeyes4u and @necroshyha - must have gone wrong while making the video - you can hear the intro skipping. lp and cd do not sound like this.

[fliss69]

I have to confess I don't understand what you are all saying. To me, this is perfect. Polly is perfect! However, I get that the more technological ones amongst us know something different! Tell me, I want to know...

[MegaJoanna1988]

All her lyrics sound so familiar and touching to me but the sound is never right

[dminortheory]

@MegaJoanna1988 Sigh. That is because I thiiiiiiiink she is slightly tone def, just like Nick Cave (who is completely tone def). But I just love them both anyway. Can't help it.

[rawrziethezombie]

@dminortheory Okay, that makes me feel better. I was singing along to this song as correctly as I could, but I thought I was the one off. That's what being a choir kid does to yuh. hehe.

[161803]

If I created a sandwich out of female singer/songwriters, PJ Harvey would be the the fucking cheese, sandwiched between a lean and healthy Tiny Vipers, and wrapped in a wholesome Sharon Van Etten wheat-berry bread. I would eat their livers first, with a strong mustard, tastefully accompanied by a a glass of red wine...maybe a shiraz.

[madeyes4u]

Just curious, does PJ mess up in the very beginning of this song? With that piano intro?

[necroshyha]

@madeyes4u It's studio recording. I don't think it's possible to mess up the intro when a lot of people edites whole recording. There's something wrong with, probably, conversion.

[madeyes4u]

@necroshyha It's obvious that it's a studio recording. Musicians keep mistakes in all the time and I think that's what PJ Harvey did here. There's a mistake in the piano part right in the intro if you listen.

[bryngOneOn]

whose this devil geyser? he sounds horrible

[twiggy120]

1:58 can anyone else hear someone sneeze?

[vaso2]

@twiggy120 Thats true! lol x

[537John]

@twiggy120 only when she is saying cunt at the end

[madeyes4u]

@twiggy120 No...I don't hear it.

[eloisealice]

Beautiful...

[pistolro777]

she the scope made that with love

[thankGodforDavidG]

this is a gem, such voice and passion behind it !

[7kurosawa7]

si, un diavolo di bravura..

[jtarantula3390]

my fave!

[manueltava]

one of the best from PJ. Great harmonies and tension.

[aztazou]

I've always been charmed by Polly Jean, got shivers when i hear her voice.idkw.

[listentoalex]

I'll never get tired of this record....or PJ, for that matter.

[FalloutConspiracy]

Brilliant!

[thesunshon]

hello babe

[saintrambone]

If PJ Harvey was my Devil at that age, I would let her get on top and dominate me. I would rather be dead under an angel in black than alive under a slave to dementia in yellow and white.

[boiledelephant]

@saintrambone How many conflicting medications are you on right now?

[unwell333]

This is fucking amazing!

[ncpicklez1]

ok i saw her on basement session, and i think she is seriously sad like i think she just gave up cause she was soo lonely in life. Her songs sound very fantasy like I can see it being in like a fairy movie. But I feel for her.

[pottymouth509]

it's poetry, is what it is. beautiful, amazing poetry.

[LindaEEEEEEE]

Heartbreakingly beautiful

[frutiloom]

white chalk is the best thing that PJ could have done after "uh huh her" era.

She admits that she had "creativ crisis" at that time - creating the image of sexy chick in short skirt, so many that didnt know much about PJ started to comape her with sex bomb Juliette Lewis and The Licks. Absurd.

But then - she came beck to show them all where the real devil lives, because she is maybe the only one right now that can bring out something like this.

[nargargoole]

The Alien is gross, scary. There is something in a human being that looks at them and sees it as a cockroach. You can never feel nurturing towards the cockroach.

[kkatiaable]

what are you on about? who is the alien?

[dancing0being]

Awesome!! (i think i already rated 5 stars...:-)

[invaderzim34511]

Her voice doesn't cease to amaze me.

[OccasionalBella]

I love it..Its my destiny..

[madeyes4u]

Polly, marry me?

[RozzDarkly]

very interesting song.

[uhuher]

@nickgen123 - You're a disgustingly boring twat. You're not fit to lick Polly's middle finger.

[dalmanation]

@uhuher ooh I like that dirty talk. I do agree that nickthedegen is a bit of a loose pizzled philistine

[ALadyOfSorrow]

I love this song so much, on constant reply whilst writing. It's my inspiration.

[ingeewung]

this is awesome, what albums it off?

[marxman00]

Also, THE most photogenic person in history!

[lajko666]

The most photogenic person in history was Dali, she is second.

[marxman00]

Dali only had one "look", Polly is at least the top 20 on her own!!

[ShakeyPapers]

thank you for a jesus in new year, a wandering nothing to follow,

no offense if that is the way to spell it, offense, office, officnse, a spelling for us to find, lost in voices, that we wouldn't hear in consequence, chiming, how, significance.

[MissInsomnia]

As soon as I'm left alone The devil wanders into my soul And I pretend to myself... I go out To the old milestone Insanely expecting You to come there Knowing that I wait for you there That I wait for you there Come!Come! Come here at once!Come!Come! On a night with no moon Because all of my being is now in pining All of my being is now in pining What formerly had cheered me Now seems insignificant, insignificant

[itchycitizen]

this is art, not fart !

[flaperise]

LMFAO!!!

[1117Jmarcus]

I love this song so much its my favorite on this album, luv PJ always

[pepedomingocastanas]

[connective769]

the last cords of an old empire. maybe

[montecarlostar]

[alotofcheese76]

[alotofcheese76]

[alotofcheese76]

[neobe101]

it´s probably the only one you´ve ever heard, right?

[ericbroon]

Magical.

[snpmurray]

Oh my.

[thenavajoknow]

Beautiful. It has a very 60s vibe to it. Also reminds me of some of the work of The Moles.

[PanoplyCabaret]

turd.

[biohazardcel]

lol

i love that picture of here the contrast is just amazing

[blondterrorist]

shes the queen of reality manipulation...amazing open open open mind.... Love her constantly from 10 years...

[shah23ram]

come come come

[bioelektra]

this song is really amazing!!!!!!!!

[gloomyoutlook]

this was such a fucking fantastic album

[laurentbuecher]

i hate the way she pronounces "the devil" the first time at the beginning of the song. it's sounds wrong.... the rest of the song is beautiful.

[lukaszkrawiec]

7 dych za płytę ale to najlepszy zakup ubiegłego roku

[msgaddict]

i love this song. so witch-y.. (or at least that how it sounds to me.) it also makes me thinks of a scene around dusk during the darkest and coldest parts of winter. a place in the woods which is especially quiet during that time of year, with a blinket of snow on the ground and big snowflakes falling. perfect now that it's almost december...

[SoundOfDrum]

zgadzam się z 6artkiem ;)

[6artek]

ona jest niesamowita

[54spiritedwill54]

My beloved banshee.

[msgaddict]

lol yeah i can see what you mean

[victoriasurartist]

this is an strange kind of stay on dream for long time...

[meikokajix]

I love this song.

my favourite song of White Chalk

[pachiclonso]

It sets up the mood for the rest of the album so perfectly.

[joseroxmysox]

i like this song alot! iluv pj harvey!!

[super1114]

any poet will appreciate a creative genius

[MindSimple34]

*****

[Juno9]

[lachukee]

[agnesfashionart]

[clitorides]

I can't believe I just discovered this woman..she's really good! I love this song!

[losicats]

Oh! the way she says "Insignificant" at the end... It's just amazing.

I could listen to this one again and again.

[thesamclan]

as i swim in a sea of musical bullshit, i thank god there's Polly Jean.

[2human4u]

couldnt have said it better myself..

[tevian3]

She's creepy...in a good way!

[lyntwaddle]

Poetry. Exquistite poetry.

[LostInTranslation78]

She is one of the best songwriters ever. She continues to release music that moves the soul just like she did since 92.

[nunooomiguel]

Very nice song!

[lufio32]

I really love that song! thanks marie-ève!

[silveryraven]

My beloved banshee.
