[IBerZerKI]

[grafiene]

God, this is beautiful.

[RainbowEmo1]

she was an itunes free song of the week about a year ago, it was this one actually, and I've loved her ever since

[GiveToTheJojo]

@RainbowEmo1 Thats how I found her out too, the song I think was "Please Don't Touch" :DD

[spongeibob]

@RainbowEmo1 Same here!

[araopreto]

luvd it! Yeaaaah, lets spread polly to the world she's gotta be listened, shes a real artist.

[dhhanyzz]

I love so much Lovesick from heer<3

[mayusocarina]

FUCK VEVO. POLLY WHYD YOU GO AND DO THIS

I LOST RESPECT FOR YOU

[HinaRox33]

Love it. She really needs more recognition. Polly's amazing! :D

[RielaMarcellis]

meh

[ZooropaTV]

@bejjee1 not really, New York had Patti Smith and Ramones as the Original punks. Punk originated in New york between 74 and 76, then it came to London who turned it into the Image Based thing that people remember it for (thanks Mclaren ;) )

[Goofballhero]

She deserves more recognition. At least a few million views, She's one of the most underrated music artists I've seen. :( CMON EVERYONE SPREAD DA NEWS ABOUT POLLY

[awsomegurl98]

The guitar and drums on this is really good and the lyrics are cool. I wanna learn how to play guitar and I wanna say that this is electric guitar but I can't tell if it is bass because I think bass has a deeper sound but if I'm wrong please tell me but nicely please. And this is an awesome song. When I find a cd with a bunch of her songs that I have never heard, I'm gonna buy it. And this is the second song from her that I have heard.

[xXxElinexXx]

Every year when autumn sets in I have to listen this song again.. Though I still don't get how she can make blah-songs like Please don't Touch when she's capable of making really beautiful songs like this..

[explodingdock]

gotta listen to this song walking around the city, in this grey autumn weather, using earplugs and ipod or similar...

just perfekt!

[conisucks]

Te entiendo tan bien Polly

[windfish55]

Oh, god, this is awesome!

[Biocide201]

this is a great song

[NataleeBecca]

this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­o creepy omg

[Rozmarin]

Utterly amazing song. the first time I heard it I had shivers and was in shock, haven't saw lyrics so good in a while now. so gentle and brutal at the same time.

this song just fills you with a pure, true feeling. especially if you can relate to this song, and that's why I'm with love with it. just pierces your heart on the spot.

[GamingSponge]

I get the impresion that she'd be freaky in bed.

Freaky in a good way

[nikkie1225]

@GamingSponge lol

[aut0pilot]

wow where has she been hiding? Last FM never lets me down :]

[ZoeMushroom]

Bjork :O it really sounds like bjork ,, but this is awsome ,, i think i've discoverd something fucking cool ..

[Vinzand1984]

God bless Last FM for sending me to this woman!

[jemappellemarielle]

one of my favourite songs ever, really

[NovoselnimeS]

I'm in love.

[bradvf]

has so much drive and forward momentum - could imagine it being used in the climax to a romantic movie (though I f*cking hope not :-). Awesome and live ffs!

[ravasolix]

I love this song :) what a powerful anthem

[sebamanson]

Untitled 27 is the saddest song ever!

[beskandalous]

i hate the way i cry when i hear this song...

[bairdieboi]

Small neck!

[loveyrshotgun]

Fuck off

[milystrangefly]

something new like bjork more beth gibbons in this obscure style

[ysl1518]

Es una diosa esta chava!

[sebamanson]

what a big artist!!

she's so "like no others"

I hope she never to become a stupid plastic pop star.....

(untitled 27 is my favourite song)

[ofdarknessandlight]

how could she? a "stupid plastic pop star" starts out as one. just from the way she sounds, I trust her to do what she wants, which is great! I love it when singers can take sound in to account, it just makes me feel all the more secure about listening to them and believing in them!

[ethicalhankylinen]

agreed. i was nervous after seeing this that on the album it would be overproduced, but it wasn't, by any twist of the imagination. the subtle, slow-burning drum machine juxtaposed against the towering, crashing percussion later on -- brilliant

[ethicalhankylinen]

I kind of wish this happened in the 70s.

don't ask me to explain that.

[miniboob]

explain that

[ethicalhankylinen]

no.

[ethicalhankylinen]

what i meant was that if this had happened in the 70s, it would have been groundbreaking, it would have changed the face of the game. now, well... if you're a female singer-songwriter there's really nothing you can do to avoid being written off as similar to someone else.

i love her gesture, she's brilliant at play with tension and release.

[ofdarknessandlight]

What about male singer-songwriters?? It's everywhere, you can't not apparently sound the same as someone else these days, even if you've never even listened to them... it's just painfully unavoidable and innocent! hah though imagine if Kate Bush came in to prominence as a teenager now.... wouldn't be nearly as fascinating

[ethicalhankylinen]

actually, this is an interesting problem in gender studies right now. if you're a male singer-songwriter, you just kind of get forgotten, but if you're a female singer-songwriter you get publicized as "that girl who sounds like that other girl".

and it's true, polly scattergood isn't wildly innovative or game-changing at this point, and it's a real pity she isn't, because i do think she's unique and brilliant, and if she'd come maybe even ten or fifteen years ago she would have been.

[meestryal]

ahah, i love the way you intoduced this, firdt you say something and tell people not to ask you why to intrigue them. Then of course someone wonder why you said that, first you say no but then you just can't resist saying what you believe is really clever and all... But actually it's kind of stupid, a random rule who reduce modern music in two categories. If you want to go in that direction, you can also say that every kind of creative work is nothing but a rewriting of what has been done before

[ethicalhankylinen]

i said "don't ask me to explain that" because at the time i didn't really understand my way around what i was trying to say. the time in between helped. the "no" was a joke.

i don't really believe everything is a rewrite of something that's been done before. joni mitchell (in part) paved the way for kate bush, but the two are hardly alike.

[merdufer]

yes the flood of popular female singer-songwriters in the past ten years is quite something. fiona apple, regina spektor, st. vincent, laura marling, lisa hannigan... but i don't think it's fair to say that female singer-songwriters only become popular because of market promotion. i think they are just good at being quirky while capturing pop sentimentality at the same time, and that seems to be what people like to hear.

[ethicalhankylinen]

marketers have realized this is marketable, whereas the parts of it that happened anyway, before it was marketable on a wide scale (before pop sentimentality existed) were (or would have been) epic instead of ordinary.

[merdufer]

i'm not sure the marketing has limited these artists' creativity or suppressed the variety or quality of music. it's true that there are potentially overrated female singer-songwriters (kate nash? polly?), but many of them have been a great boon to the current music scene where black eyed peas remain popular for no reason.

[ethicalhankylinen]

i think what i'm saying is that polly is brilliant, but if she'd just popped up in the late 60s punk london scene, before there was a kind of market for this, it would have been seen as epic instead of ordinary, even if nothing was different about the music. it's all timing.

[merdufer]

ah i see what you mean now. well that's why so many people try to be the first to do something, no matter how silly it might be. i had the silly idea of making a song that had nothing in it when i was 14, but then i learned that john cage already did it. but then even cage haven't done it, people today are so used to strange things that it might just get disregarded instead of debated on. it's true that timing is very important.

[ZooropaTV]

Punk hadn't started in New York til the 70s let alone London

[bejjee1]

@ZooropaTV England had the punk movement before America!

[NameetSurana]

But quality of music is subjective, surely? You may not see the appeal of the Black Eyed Peas but other people do...

[merdufer]

they do from a perspective that's hardly musical. i can understand why they like it, but it doesn't make it good music.

[NameetSurana]

'good music' - who has the right to decide?

[merdufer]

who has the right to decide anything? you can say "who has the right to decide what is moral?" and i'd find it difficult to answer, but that's hardly an argument for murder.

call me a music snob, but you can't call something good music just because its video has great boobs and legs in it.

[ps3superfan1]

@merdufer yes you can i watch justin biebers vids every day because there are awesome girls there

[mrsandjela]

horrible

[0v3rd0seh]

Amazing. Amazing... did I mention it's Amazing? :O

[0elephant]

this is an absolutely beautiful song

but I'm pretty sure she's high

and her dress is a little silly.

[Emigga]

this is definitely one of the most amazing songs i've heard in a long time.

[UmaFan95]

This is probably my favourite song.. ever.

Its simply amazing. So many feelings and such a delicate portrayal of such a wonderful 'story', if you can call it that. I just dig the raw emotions. You rock Polly!

[BrownEyedShorty85]

Sounds like an Alanis song, but I like it!

[HatchetVixen]

Love it! I got it on iTunes for free last week.

[WpGBros]

same for the itunes thing

[notacheerleader]

its creepy

[Laucheehung]

just checking the sample of the song cause its free on itunes

[omardj13]

i love you pollY

[xflashahh]

..it's actually awesome.

everything about this is beautiful. you're mad.

[michellieees]

thiss songg is soo amazingg!

youu my friend are crazyy

[XxSleepBeautySleepxX]

If your going to watch a video, and you dont like it, Keep it to yourself.

Polly is Amazing, so is this song.

your crazy, hater.

[wimbledondoctor]

very very good, keep an eye out for this girl!

[Vibemaster007]

really love her music..it inspriates me.. dunno why..but it is really great!

[sundayboy]

The song when I discovered THAT voice...thank you. Still a favourite after 500 listens!!

[jonfinswife]

i like this i wanna say things about what it sounds like, but it only sounds pretty fuckin bitchen, kinda like alot of the best female artist. who do compare th is too honestly, just so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[BabushkaFuttocks]

What language are you speaking? Check out Kate Bush, she's cool too, and she's just like her.

[Spaceisneat]

This is pretty awesome...... :D

[LynnGish]

I love. :)

[millka24]

wow

Your music is very good :))

five stars

[ParasolPop]

Eerily beautiful, this song is amazing to listen to, when it's completely quiet, and it's just you. Has such raw emotion in it, and it has often made me blink back tears. It's tragic she's not getting as much recognition as she deserves. You can tell she really gives it her all. Scattergood is the complete antithesis to the mainstream pop artists who've their songs and every move laid out for them~ Scattergood is real, and I truly hope she gets more recognition. She bloody deserves it.

[jpjustpunk]

@ParasolPop with her doing the cover of new york new york for crysis two she should be on her way up there. 90 percent of these popular artists dont deserve it.. she does. you can feel it, even from a youtube video. imagine her live.

[Vegetapowa]

@ParasolPop You are right, she has that something-special-thingy and I kinda feel it, everytime I hear one of her songs...

[LEVLB]

nah nah nah, i like her name thats all

[scoobyzuk]

after seeing the write up in todays Sun, took a peak into her world, and i think shes the noghties version of the 80s Kate Bush .. strangley weird, but in a good way, and of course another one from the Brit School

[TrashyClary]

I heard this on XFM a min ago and had to search random lyrics of it into youtube trying to find the right name. Then I downloaded it of iTunes. [:

I love this song so much, it's beautiful.

X

[WinniPru]

I love it. <3

[luceroj1]

I love her!! So much passion. I wish she had more songs on itunes. She reminds me of Cindy lauper from the 80's.

[xxpiggystardustxx]
