PJ Harvey 'The Last Living Rose'

Dir: Seamus Murphy / UK / 2010

The Last Living Rose is one of a series of 12 shorts made by Seamus Murphy to accompany the 12 songs on PJ Harvey's album Let England Shake. Murphy: "I had set out with the intention to shoot most of the films as stills with the occasional piece of moving footage. In fact, the absolute reverse happened..."

Music videos ARE short films, you fucking goons. The same effort is put into them. They often tell a story. This is beautifully shot - much more impressive than any ordinary kind of music video. It's indeed art.

I'm all for whatever gets posted on this channel.

It's enough. Stop talking talking, talking... We have a problem, we have to solve it

P.J. Harvey is a performance artist with the heart & soul of a kick ass rocker! Or is it the other way around? Either way, she rocks!

Looks beautiful, sounds PJ Harvey. Nice.

Love the song, mellow and pretty.  Video best when video minus stills.

[miss1234]

nice video idea. It seems to really suits her sound. Its good to see a different style of music video. Looking forward to seeing the other 11.

No problem with music videos in general, some of the featured ones in futureshorts are really interesting, but this one.. a slideshow, and not even very special. I don't think it can stand up to the channel's level.

[bobzilla211]

not sure which was more underwhelming and artsy try-hard, the video or the song.

IRELAND, YOU FECKERS!
