SEAMUS MURPHY — "When I first heard 'Written on the Forehead' and its opening in a Middle-Eastern war setting and ending with a reggae-riff, I thought of black and white photographs I had taken in hot, dusty conflict zones.

Mixing them with the scenes of quiet desperation of England and that parallel movement came later in post-production.

Call it random, maybe it is, but usually the pictures themselves suggest what works together, the music has a lot to say in the choice too and a sympathy between them develops. It ended up as a way to show how different are all our lives, Us and Them. And a reminder, that despite all our differences we are all still vulnerable with human emotions.

Shooting pictures makes you observe in a detached way, whether in the West Bank, Gaza, Mogadishu or Waterloo Station in London.

Afterwards you try to make sense of them. What they mean will be personal to everyone. The opening with PJ Harvey's lyrics spoken in Arabic was shot in a pub on the Portobello Road."

The only ugliness are the words you write. It says a lot about someone who would write such things about a person they obviously haven't the first clue about. You should be ashamed. But then Youtube is full of entitled, ignorant, stupid and unsocialised people like you who comment from a place of profound ignorance. PJ Harvey is a musical icon for nearly 20 years releasing 8 critically acclaimed studio albums and winning an unprecedented two Mercury music prizes. What are your achievements?

what a nice comment on the state of the world with some beautiful poetry. i remember that day the yanks brought "shock and awe" to Baghdad. sitting here in the west it made me feel deeply sick, look over my own city and wondering.. and this song sums up that feeling for me wonderfully. Much love PJ xx :)

IS that Joe Strummer singing the "blood and fire" loop?

[Archiboldian Cartheniscope]

A fine reply, have a good day.

Yes, you did have THE BOMB. And THE BOMBs killed about 22,000 Koreans.

And now, decades later, Europe is ready to take over handling what clusterfuckery US has built up over the Israel/Palestine situation. Because US for too long has been spinning its wheels while at the same time its greedy eyes are glazed over by oil and 'power'. Step aside, US, let the smart folk do what you're too dumb for. And thanks for nothing!

Have fun with THE BOMB.

Bravo!!

No, Hitler would not have "rolled over us too". You're forgetting one thing: The USSR. By the time Hitler defeated them (assuming he even did) Germany would have largely been bled dry of fighting men and machines; at the very least they wouldn't have been able to launch a reasonable attack on the US homeland. Also we did have THE BOMB.

Most likely, the only diff. would have been the Cold War would've been between "Nazi Europe" and the USA. In other words, you'd be speaking German right now. =)

You are so brave to expose yourself on the internet, being so ridiculously stupid. What happened to your sense of taste and decency... They're horrendously under-developed. Hun, get a full frontal lobotomy if you can afford it.
