I love this song; the whole album is great. I remember when it came out, my then one year old daughter became mesmerised by her and would stare at her picture; I cut one out of a magazine and put it above her crib, and I bought the album because I had read good things about her and wasn't disappointed. Later, my daughter named one of her dolls Polly Jean. She was the coolest baby in the neighbourhood :)
Thanks for uploading this. I think the low-energy of a talk show stage (compared to a rock concert or club gig) really works for this stately, beautiful song. Love this period of PJ.
I love this record of her.

A friend said she reminds her of Snowwhite ...
I love the way she looks there, and I like her look today. Great musician; it´s a shame she is basically unknown in Germany. ("PJ who?!")

The lady, and her music, both luscious on many levels.
So strange that she scores Letterman, Leno, U2, etc., yet... almost ZERO radio play...WTH?

@MajorCaliber I have xm radio and I'm stunned at how rarely she's played anywhere on xm. Even the "alternative" channels rarely play her.

Unbelievable track. In my book one of the all-time best songs in rock. Just a perfect, poetic expression in time. True art.

3:53 she twitches and pulls his arm. :) She's adorable.

@LucidDream Crikey, Letterman would NOT let go of her hand! He probably pinched a nerve in her hand, causing an involuntary twitch!
