It will probably pop up in other digital stores (7digital, Bleep, Boomkat) this Friday, the regular release day for popular tunes. Thanks! Here's hoping... Don't mind these one-off releases if that's what b-sides have become but for me it's important to have them in the best quality available. |

So glad we have this song, Ive been curious. I wouldn't have mind if the whole album was like this lol. I still rate Hope Six like an 8.25. But if all the songs were this good it would have been a ten. I feel like the lyrics are more effective and original and mysterious, some of her best ever really. Its a real grower too. Her vocal style on the song is a lot like Is This Desire, which I love. This is kind of weird, but I love the way she says "texassz" and "voiceszz". |

Agree that the album would have been a lot stronger if it was packed with songs like this. That is, I think the album's often most successful at its heaviest and most brutal, when music carries across the desired impact of the lyrics, as in Ministry of Defense, and that Guilty is of that calibre. I think it's definitely stronger than an annoyingly malnourished song like Medicinals, which is very catchy, but too short and overly ambitious. It ends up degrading into whimsy ('we're always here'!), though the essential concept is interesting. Guilty however hits the right mark on both counts. In fact... I believe it's pretty much stronger than all the Washington DC tracks except for River Anacostia. |

Please refresh my short-term-memory: did PJ Harvey record more songs at Somerset House than the ones that have currently been released (incl. Guilty)? Or: can we expect more 'b-sides'? |

Official lyrics: There's a little figure on the television scratching at the ground by a pile of rags. Grainy little figures on television screens weighing up the moment – guilty, guilty. What's he doing with that stick? Which one is guilty? Back in the bunker in the operations room a bored soldier is eating his lunch while drones in their thousands are unveiled in Texas to roaring voices, but nobody asked us if we wanted them. What’s he doing with that stick? Which one is guilty? Power to the predator. The Grim Reaper. Grainy little suspects running for shelter. The drones have come in their thousands but nobody asked us if we wanted them. Rules and regulation… |

With 11 album tracks and "Guilty" it's 17 altogether (there was also "The Boy", but this song is probably didn't finished). Spoiler! :

I mean, this concept and "Chain of Keys" are quite different IMO ("Imagine what her eyes have seen" and "dead end track" are pretty much the only reminiscent lines). |

On a side note: Kuk91 wrote: "I'll Be Waiting": she wanted the guitar to be stuttering, in a bid to try and replicate the stuttering of children suffering from post-war trauma; she wants a young boy to take the lead and that she would shadow him; based on the poem "The Children" (?). http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/vogue-today/2015/pj-harvey-recording-in-progress "There were also two guest singers on the day, but I was not sure who they were. A 15-year-old french boy, and another young man probably in his early 20s." |
