I totally agree with what Pj Harvey said about, if she didnt release music, she would do it anyway, i do it anyway, even though my music isnt yet released. I wouldnt change my writing process, and i write songs anyway, because its a part of who i am too. I think all singer/songwriters would say that. Technology is impeaching on the variety of music out there, but it also enables people like me, to be heard, and have a market, to get my music across in ways that wasnt availible before the net.
She's totally right about the whole situation. It's not she getting old )) It's the overinformated and overcommunicated media-world suddenly became very small, tight and boring, so there's no place where some whole new wave could be born. Since 90-s there was nothing! It totally feels like that. Because it is like that. But I believe it's going to change.
Yes. Most women who are so intelligent are not so comfortable in their own skin as her i find, which is a shame. They feel they are constantly in competition with men. Polly doesn't give a fuck, she is beyond that.
I love the way she talks, she has such a refined English accent. I love the way she talks about music, too, a lot of her quotes in this interview are pretty inspiring and truthful.
Thoughtful interview. If PJ were not so successful I wonder if she could maintain her integrity as she states here. I mean if she had to play music, just to get by, to pay the rent, would she still wait ten years to get it right? Thanks for posting this video.
Interesting question. It's easier to have integrity when you have at least some money in your bank account to sustain you, but another thing altogether if it's a question of basic survival. My hunch is that under such circumstances, she would have chosen to do something else with her life if she couldn't make a living doing it "her way", without compromise. But who's to say really.
Indeed! However I contend, if her music did not contain the integrity that it began with...would she matter to her own music at all as she does today. :) cheers all!
Ha! you have a point. But I fear we're veering to closely to 'chicken or the egg' conundrum territory. At which point I would have to politely bow out of this analytical game as my pea brain is beginning to violently quiver and quake. :P
PJ is successful because she is super intelligent and intuitive. If she weren't so smart, she wouldn't worry about issues of integrity and such. There are many successful, rich people with no integrity.
I agree, and think you phrased that very well. She does have integrity, and this albumn seems vastly different from a lot of music being put out right now. I think she's onto something when she starts questioning whether, with the influx of all this new technology, standards have now gone down...
I want to meet her.

Man, she analyzes the hell out of music.
Making a great record is a major task, but
she's making it sound like it's a chore.
An Artist will make his work and not be concerned
what the audience thinks - yes it's true.
If it's bad it's bad, and when it's good, it's
usually fucking good.

to do an Amy Winehouse to be true to your art !
