The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

I love the sax!

Love the song. Love the film. Although I agree with previous posts that some of the images are a little obscure, but very fitting.

Polly never ceases to amaze

I liked the live (Camp Bestival) version better, but I've found I often prefer the live, "rockier" versions of Pollys songs. It's a great piece of work though.

The new Eype clip of All and Everyone sounds REALLY great.

What's that guitar? "Eros Mark II?" For reals?

So different again, not so experimental. I'm really liking the "reality based" lyrics too.

Gold Cap at 1:00 mark, if I'm not mistaken.

Golden Cap not Gold Cap! Sorry...

I did a quick search for the guitar - LOL!

Eros Mark II Les Paul Copy, similar range to Columbus - plywood body and faux humbuckers (single coils under the covers...), bolt on neck etc. Absolute shit, ....

Of course she does pick whatever she likes. The Rose autoharp wasn't a great instrument either.

officially excited after listening and seeing this. nothing compared to what i felt when i listened to "Written on the forehead". this song almost brought me to tears the first three times i listened to it. and i just stopped cause i don't want to burn it out before having the record.

i think it's just excellent. she can't fail.

I absolutely love it! I think it's much better than WOTF.

This makes me look forward to the new album even more. Can't wait.

I just played/watched this video for the first time (and the second time, and the third)
at the break of dawn (daylight showing through the vertical slits of my venetian blinds
which are down, shutting out the wintry scenery outside but letting in the morning light).

I can't describe the emotion, the elation I feel seeing Polly again up close and the images of Dorset's coast along with the sound of this song which I loved at first listening (live in Portsmouth last July) - and now this fully instrumental studio version (and I can't decide which version I like better, can only try to anticipate what it will sound like played live by four musicians on the stage) - what a wonderful way to begin the day (this very first day following the winter solstice), truly feels that the light is growing now and my spirit is lighter.

what area is that which is shown in the map visible at 1:18-1:21 in this video?
anybody recognize it?

and the church at 2:26-2:35, I get the distinct sensation of having seen it before but can't remember where.

Oop north, Liverpooool, Manchester etc

Not sure about the Church, Dorset ones tend to be Norman (square castle like-towers) rather than steeples though, so maybe there somewhere

I'm fairly sure the pony/ducks are the New Forest though (!)
