PJ Harvey & John Parish - Is That All There Is

[lucebertolino]

By far the best version. Who's Pegggy Lee, huh?

[saritalloroncita]

omg this bitch needs a sandwich but i fookin luv her

[jtarantula3390]

cristina monet's version is the best

[joeperryforpope]

the way she hits her head when the drum beats is incredible

[Ukicazabonje]

Laurie Anderson and her are the greatest

[lsteamer]

I mean, fuck it... really, honestly.. IS that all there is? ramblings of a drunk man, still....

[dragmio]

This song is THE best expression of modern human condition.

[smashbeans]

theres another version of this song and its not peggy lee but its the same lyrics.different music,different speach pattern.i wish i could find it

[MoodIndigo1]

It's on youtube, it's by cristina monet.

[smashbeans]

@moodlndigo1 thanks bro!

[vectorization]

sheer brilliance!

[Leplatpays]

This is a song that changed my life. Seriously.

The lyrics are just so unforgiving. I know it's a cover, but there couldn't have been a better artist covering the song than PJ Harvey.

[santiagobenites]

I am totally in love with the unique creative genius that is Polly Jean Harvey. Come to me, sweet PJ, come to me and we'll dance our troubles away.

[Alalicja]

I wish i could appreciate this masterpiece . i know, thumbs down

[LocumRex]

Brilliant... a special kind of creepy.  Love it.

[slashh04]

nup, it's not hard to find. i get it from the first place it's been published.

[chelloroqs]

I swear... This has to be the most difficult album to find in my entire life... This shit iz soooo rare, so raw, so genius!!!

[chelloroqs]

I swear... You guys have no fuk'n idea how hard it is to find this album!!! I jus discovered there was a video for this... wow. Super late!!!

[levicaindotcom]

polly jean is a genius, and her version of this song is amazing... but it's important to note, for those of you who are praising her genius lyrics in this instance, that this song is a cover. It was written by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller and originally recorded by Peggy Lee in 1969. Her version is also genius and innovative, especially considering the year it was recorded.

[Fatalsunday]

awesome song, and those lyrics are really innovative!

[TheGoldWatch]

She sang this really well but this video is godawful. Like I want to see her cracked out in her shitty apartment

[teddybomber182]

Those lyrics are epic!

[TADGELL]

i don't think that john parish did this one with her.

[JCBigCat]

fact: it's from their album "dance hall at louse point". just google it.

[dpopnunes]

yes, she is the fuc***g genius

[montecarlostar]

this woman is simply genius

[Sleazymush]

It's true, she's like a fairy in this big whole dream full of sepia color.

I woke up singing this, so i had to watch it. It's fulfills the emptiest soul.

[maynardminion]

Damn, how I envy you, have a great time!! I know exactly what you mean.

[georgiebyrom]

polly takes me to ...somewhere else,

she's other worldly.

I'm at her gig tonight in bristol....

i cant wait to be blown away

[deahnalee]

yes. that is all there is.

[Nora1989Nora]

Brilliant video for a brilliant song

[sephryz]

Oh, no, not me. I'm not ready for that final disappointment...

[firman76imation]

NEW ALBUM MARCH 30TH 2009

[acidburn146]

I LOVE how she says 'fire'

And I agree with 'bybnilhn' : PJ completes your life in minutes

[mmanoob]

this makes me feel as if she wrote this

[bybnilhn]

watching and listening to it makes you feel like you re in a dream wandering around and asking is that all there is to dream about?

[bybnilhn]

pj completes your live's minutes...

[Tigerlily21]

Prefer Peggy Lee's but I love me some PJ Harvey and love her eerie take on what is already a dreamy song.

[danditoh]

P.J.Harvey covers this absolute classic once sang by the great, great, Peggy Lee... Now the question is: WHY?

[ouestlesinge]

Did anyone else see the live show that this was a part of? Taken in context with the rest of Dance Hall this song makes a lot of sense. I agree - should never be compared to the original! I also agree - oh my absolute God! This is so fucking depressing, it feels really empty, but - this girl knows exactly what shes doing and I guess its meant to feel that way

[staytres]

just found out this is a cover - they're still cool but not quite as contemporary as i first though - these audio previews are nuts!!!

[staytres]

homer sings this song to rod and todd flanders in the season 12 episode Children of A Lesser Clod - how cool those writers are!

[ElizaDay66]

Is that all there is to the circus?

[oizephyr14]

Empty dance floor and polly, somehow thats such a depressing sight?

[ah13685]

pj's and peggy lee's versions have completely different approaches and it would be wrong to compare them. peggy lee's is better.

[louiecostello]

"it would be wrong to compare them" yet " peggy lee's is better"... you douchebag

[louiecostello]

nice one mate, nice one

[NikkaStacia]

does anyone know who directed this vid?

cheers :)

[sirilidbeck]

what a brilliant song.

[konokrebi]

its hurting, but really good

[DarKEVA02]

"Is that all there is to love?"

[fannycraddock99]

Wonderful, I'd never seen this video before.

[peraloka]

great cover! my pj's favorite album :)

[proteinpornografi]

sounds like churchsong with all the organs...cool though

[MrSis89]

Pleasantly odd.

[mehmus]

pleasantly odd.. great phrase!

[louiecostello]

or perhaps its pleasantly odd?

[louiecostello]

i mean oddly pleasant
