PJ Harvey & John Parish - Black Hearted Love (06/12/09 - Letterman) HD

[applecrumping33]

she is so good live...

[applecrumping33]

such sultry lyrics...oooh yeah...hypnotizing guitar.

[nickplu]

Fantastic song, this one.

[cheapy2006]

Notice the way she kidnapped the bass player from ZZ Top, trimmed his beard by way of intimidation, fattened him up to eat him (just in case he got testy), yet she manages to smile through it all.

what a pro!!

[sjfman]

artists like this are rare as rocking horse shit. I want to be in her band

[lentecitosdelmal]

<3 love pj!!

[lilasam44]

PJ is the killer Godess for ever!!

[0veritasvosliberabit]

the song is very good, but she is very ugly .

[MarcWilsonBlackburn]

Awesome tune, but Letterman aint funny.

[monsterarturoramone]

Love Red Shoes!

[monsterarturoramone]

¡PJ Harvey hazme un hijo!

[OlehGults]

Do I hear Polly laughing @ 0:35 ?

:)

I actually thought David was very funny at the beginning

[carlo88moe]

one of those songs youd gladly give ur pathetic life to have written, lol

[esojj]

millions of stars!!!!

[smejiagil]

She transcends everything, she elevates everything... I'm starting to believe I am in love with her, it just doesn't make sense, what her music makes me feel.. and don't get me wrong, I like men, but that's what I mean, she transcends everything

[cmlnrowan]

So dangerous to be barefoot around musical equipment. Crazy.

[buzyscissors]

Wow this song and the performance gives me chills. Very few artists sound better live than their recordings. Absolute masterpiece !! I too am in love with this song.

[cheapy2006]

great song

like she's singing withZZ Top having had a bit of a face trim

[flixi74]

she could do with some dancing classes though........

[MrZebra69]

@flixi74 i'd evaluate that as part of the performance. i feel like there's plenty of footage with her dancing, and for each song it's different, with a difference stylistic persona. sometimes really exaggerated and stylized. here she seems almost childlike

[marxman00]

@flixi74 PJ has some of the greatest moves on earth, or perhaps you meant "she could DO some dancing classes"

[seherezada99]

I'm in love with this song...

[TheTamayu1]

Amazing singer and a huge influence on my own work! Her voice, the effects on it, the mystery in her voice and lyrics and the groove of the guitar..STUNNING!!

[seherezada99]

What a talented musicians, this song is brilliant :) I could listen it over and over again.

[Penguinarmy69]

She looks quite nice here. Sometimes she looks lovely. Sometimes she looks proper rats. Big calf muscles too.

[Mortslake]

John Parish = Genius, Pj Harvey = Godess

[SoopaFly75]

une princesse

[jdessell]

"Satisfying?" Letterman is an ass-hole.

[jdessell]

PJ is one of the few musical gods that actually look and sound better as they mature without sacrificing their artistic integrity.

[soundandfury63]

Elven Queens like Galadriel and Arwen can eat their hearts out...

[pioughd87]

i like how pj harvey is probably smiling at the beginning because of dave, but she continues smiling throughout because she is a pixie from the forest

[ticklebug]

She is amazing end ever pleasing.

[mrjolie666]

her voice!!! omg! I COULD SLIT MY WRISTS 2 HER VOICE!!

[marsiozo]

PJ Harvey's music will never bore me!!!! Damn love her ever since my brother bought that CD 'Rid of me' about 17 years ago...!

[zarni000]

@kartofflenbrain

the west country accent she has is rhotic (Rs are pronounced like in american english). that accent is quite close in sound to american english in other ways as well. she is not singing in her normal voice.

[palerider1775]

This song is fucking amazing. Beautifully haunting. Perfect.

[eltirano28]

john parish is sexy in a demure kind of way.

[danielhl22]

they deserve my money!!! i'll buy the record!!! this song is (fucking)amazing!!

[myboomstick]

aww she's soooo cute in this :D

[jprince11]

hmm call me crazy, but listening to this a ton and loving the song on the album, I'm not sure she was the right emotional wavelength on this performance, she seemed too bouncy and carefree, her voice had much more bite to it when she was singing the words "black hearted love" on the album

[meadish]

'Tis teatime.

[nyxandyoz]

This song is sooo good! And PJ, oh she looks more amazing as she ages...dancing bare footed!!!

[coreyjayy]

PJ Harvey why are you so amazing?

[greengargantua]

@kartofflenbrain , where are the squeaks you hear, I don't hear them. Also, where does she use an "exaggerated american accent". Please help me, cuz I can't hear what you hear. She also was in tune, so............

[greengargantua]

Leave it to Simple Dave to point out that PJ is barefoot and that the bass player has Dorothy-like shoes from Oz. How about mentioning the great song and performance that just took place on his damn stage.

[twigg00]

omg, i just realised that i was standing next to the bass player during howe gelb performance before pj and john show in berlin and i was a little bit shocked that this man has a suit on him and that funny shoes! :D i thought that it was someone who came to see pj's show, lol.

[prettynoose888]

Beautiful and enchanting.Letterman seems to be impressed too.

[chimpicabrera]

What happened in her face?! She looks rare...

[greengargantua]

@chimpicabrera , nothing happened to her face. It's probably the HD, and the make up dept. did over do it a bit with the rouge, but she looks lovely anyway, in a sort of throwback to her "To bring you my love" stage persona. where's PJ's hat ?

[biennialist]

most gorgeous deep woman ever... nick cave = dumb...

[zarni000]

@biennialist

well it looks like she broke it off with him so whether he was dumb or just not good enough is not clear...he was doing hard drugs so it is understandable if she couldnt take his lifestyle around her.

[borjon23]

Could someone please please please post the Abbey Road performance of this? It's inferior to this great video but still...

[streetrecorder]

This should be called Hats, Jazzmasters and Polly...

[biennialist]

4;53 shows their connection

awesome!

[refyug1]

The Late Show with Douche Letterman : P

in other news what a fucking great performance : )

[luisnavarrette]

You just know your watching something special when she performs, very few artist give off that vibe....her music will live forever. and thats my two cents.

[Flapuca]

Love this woman! This song just thrills me... Amazing love song...or not.

[Goldfinga888]

Thanks for the vid!

[toadbellyfire]

love this song so dark and sweet at the same time

[dosometh1ngpretty]

Polly is gorgeous.

[Gouchem28]

I 've seen Polly three times and i always comeback home with the same feelings i just can't explain with words!

[yeolekuza]

the best song ever

[toasterdevil]

she sure aged a lot better than tori.

i used to have major crushes on both of them when I was in high school.

i think tori has had some bad plastic surgery maybe, but pj is still stunning.

[zuss10r]

Fuckin' way to go before she hits menopause you dick!!! Mind you, i'm not at all suprised at a comment like this from a 27yr old.

[TIGERSDFW]

i am 36, where did you get 27?? I wish i was 27 though

[kathleenvh]

I'm 27

[witoldissimo]

I tottaly agree with you!!

[witoldissimo]

It's not about ages or surgerys. It is about creativity!

[Deliaboard]

That is THE WOMAN.

[Phibes87]

very good song from new album

[briansmartini]

Really? he introduced her as a "talented musician?" PJ harvey is at least a demigoddess.

[ffnarffnar]

Im not a huge pj harvey fan but there is something about this song and this performance (on letterman of all places) that I find mesmerizing. I dont know why???? Id like to know why.

[maynardminion]

i'd like to know why you're not a huge pj fan, what more could you possibly want in an artist??? the most gorgeous voice on the planet, amazing talent, endless creativity, incredibly beautiful, brilliant and totally original. what the hell, else are you looking for?

[marxman00]

It's happening ,she's going to take you over, it won't be long now there's no escape and then you'll be sucked down and down to her worldly womb to be REBORN!!!....don't worry.! it's quite nice.

[maynardminion]

yes, it so warm and comforting, peaceful and beautiful in here, very inspiring as well.

I saw her live 3 months ago, and i'm still speechless and overcome by her beauty.

[fionaazreal]

I've been thinking the same thing!! This song has been in my head since I first heard it a couple of weeks ago. PJ's voice is like brown sugar. Looooove it!

[ahosek]

At least the drummer isn't wearing a fedora.

[gemsg]

pu.ta la wea la raja

[AcidRaina]

She always gives me goosebumps.

[wirekisses]

me encantaaa esta cancion!

[FlozelltheHotell]

love it!

[dotheeEVOLUTION]

This is even better than the studio version.

[Zhannerf15]

thank you i was looking all over for the name of this song

[wesleyb82]
