PJ Harvey - The Glorious Land
PJ Harvey - The Glorious Land -- The 4th Film, From A Series Of 12 Short Films, By Seamus Murphy From the album 'Let England Shake' A word from the director, Seamus Murphy; The Glorious Land As with the other films, I wanted to avoid too literal an interpretation of Polly's lyrics, but to try to remain true to the spirit and feel of the track. The Glorious Land was the third film we edited and completed in Berlin in the cycle of the 12 films, the first was The Words That Maketh Murder and the second was The Last Living Rose. Both editor, Sebastian, and I loved this track, and for me the bugle blast and where it sits is truly a glorious thing. It has the courage to be discordant, out of place and yet perfect on its own terms, surely the quality of great Art? At the first London show at the Troxy last week, when the bugle came in as they played The Glorious Land it was like experiencing the music floating high above the band and audience and hovering over all of us like a massive Jackson Pollack. And it swung. I had noticed interesting things coming through the trees when driving around Dorset in October. Autumn colours, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the effect of movement during driving, how things changed if I speeded up or slowed down. How the angle at which the camera was held changed things so I started experimenting with shooting and driving. Some of this was shot through the car sunroof straight up into the sky, some deliberately overexposed and out of <b>...</b>

PJ Harvey - The Garden
Lyrics: And he was walking in the garden And he was walking in the night And he was singing a sad love song And he was praying for his life And the stars came out around him He was thinking of his sins And he's looking at his song-bird And he's looking at his wings There, inside the garden Came another with his lips Said "won't you come and be my lover ?" "Let me give you a little kiss" And he came knelt down before him And fell upon his knees "I will give you gold and mountains If you stay a while with me" And there was trouble Taking place Trouble Taking place There, inside the garden They kissed and the sun rose And he walked a little further And he found he was alone And the wind it gathered round him He was thinking of his sins And he's looking for his song-bird He was looking for his wings And there was trouble Taking place Trouble Taking place There was trouble Taking place Trouble Taking place

PJ Harvey - Written On The Forehead From A Series Of 12 Short Films, By Seamus Murphy From the album 'Let England Shake' Download the album from ITunes now: bit.ly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Facebook: www.facebook.com Myspace: www.myspace.com Youtube: www.youtube.com Official Website: www.pjharvey.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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."

waited till 1: 30 last night only for those three minutes... it's a very annoying pseudo-intellectual tv show btw, and pj's presence at the end ----after 1 hour 40 minutes blablabla ---- made me realise even more deeply how much courage and purity it demands to create music like this, in this crappy artificial world that we live in. what a performance! speechless... -------- PLEASE go here stage6.divx.com to watch this performance, it's the same show but has a much better quality than the vid i posted, you have to install the DivX webplayer but it's worth it
PJ Harvey - Angelene (Fan Video)
I created this video to illustrate what goes through my mind when I hear Angelene. I feel as though the persona PJ took on in '95 was Angelene, who would be spoken of later during the Is This Desire? era. Using movie maker, I combined two videos from the To Bring You My Love era and the song from Is This Desire? I hope you like it.

Rather than try to interpret too much or too literally the idea of England, which is vaguely what all 12 films are about, I focused on the sound of the song itself which has a melancholic, tragic lilt to it, like a resigned love song of acceptance. And like all the other films, the images come from observations made on the road. The archer I found in a field I was driving past, the parrot was in a great dock pub in Birkenhead-across the Mersey from Liverpool. The pubs here used to be full of parrots from sailors returning home from the tropics, and this one's party piece was to shout "twat" in thick scouse. Bobby Moore and the World Cup in 1966 was in a kebab place in Southend, the white haired man is a charismatic horseman from Norfolk. Shooting Polly up close physically, allowing her to move in and out of focus was something we both liked, it lent an intimate and raw feel. The audio of the Arab woman singing that ends the film was the original ending of that piece of music, but edited out for the album.

Ro is about the age of the soldier whose lines he recites from the song. Then a montage from Edgeware Road. I like the hipster who goes his own way- exiting frame right - at the end of the sequence. Birds flying in formation is in Holkham, Norfolk, shot from the pinewoods. Nosing around the City of London one Sunday morning I saw a figure mysteriously disappear through the door of a tower. I chased him, up the spiraling steps to the top where he was joining fellow- bell ringers in the belfry of the church of St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge. The church is mentioned in Dickens's Oliver Twist. They were just about to start ringing, and wanting to film, I explained I was shooting pictures for a musician called PJ Harvey. One of them said: "PJ Harvey's my mate. I did her kitchen". They let me shoot and the carpenter who was indeed an old friend and had done her kitchen joined us a <b>...</b>
