How does PJ Harvey just get better and better!!!! I have been a fan for over 10 years now and i would say PJ Harvey has been the soundtrack to most of my adult life... Her songs have helped me deal with sad moments, happy moments, loving moments and grateful moments. She is an absolute gem! I can't wait to see her live for the second time next year when her tour hits my country! PJ Harvey showed me how to FEEL!
Just shreds me each time I listen... The intro, the chorus... the 28,000. Thank God for PJ. As a ballad decrying loss, this is one of the most powerful I have ever heard. And while we watch them fade out, we blink away another bit of our own humanity.
great song..........stunning video.During the making of her new album, Miss Polly Jean traveled extensively in the war-torn regions of Kosovo and Afghanistan . Subsequently, the refrain "Hey Little Children Don't Disappear" -- with its haunting chorus "I Heard it was 28 thousand" -- hits with an acutely meaningful impact. Totally channeling Siouxie, and I love every minute of it.
Lyrics a revolving wheel of metal chairs Hung on chains, squealing Four little children flying out A blind man sings in Arabic Hey little children don’t disappear (I heard it was 28,000) Lost upon a revolving wheel (I heard it was 28,000) Now you see them, now you don’t Children vanish ‘hind vehicle Now you see them, now you don’t Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull Hey little children don’t disappear (I heard it was 28,000) All that’s left after a year (I heard it was 28,000) A faded face, the trace of an ear (I heard it was 28,000) A tableau of the missing Tied to the government building 8,000 sun-bleached photographs Faded with the roses Hey little children don’t disappear (I heard it was 28,000) Lost upon a revolving wheel (I heard it was 28,000) All that’s left after a year (I heard it was 28,000) A faded face, the trace of an ear (I heard it was 28,000) And watch them fade out And watch them fade out And watch them fade out...
Brilliant! Polly has a way of writing the most honest and moving music around....Her lyrics are not flamboyant, or aspire to false intellectualisation, they are compressed, raw, emotive and delivered with a gunshot. As for the music, you always think that the blend is perfection! Mick Harvey has been a great partner to work with. This album will exceed expectations even beyond "Shake" . And I agree..... she is so far ahead of anyone else because she is true to her work. Can't Wait till the Sixteenth!
@@exodusveloBro so dumb he wrote this before the album even dropped😂😂 Also, you are wrong on both accounts, Demolition Project and I inside the year old dying have both received critical acclaim. PJ continues her streak of never releasing a bad album
Looks to me like a prayer for the human race. This woman always amazes us, she is such an exceptional artist and we love her so much, because she is so deeply human and she has the ability to perfectly express it through her art.
This woman speaks! I do not like hitting the "like" button because what she is singing about is not "rockin' happy stuff". Not at all. But if the music gets your attention and then you hear what she has to say, you can't help but appreciate every note and beat and the message.
+Rebel Ray Yes listen to Savages by Marina and the Diamonds (2015) she nails it yes we are: "i am not afraid of God but I am afraid of man " And are you innocent Rebel ray ? better run for it "the innocents " Low (2015 - beautiful /haunting track :
The most particular, highly talented and stunning artist, a woman keeping herself to herself thus becoming even more intriguing - one extremely enchanting personality. So happy she is back with this. Can't wait for the tour.
I was never a huge Harvey fan in the past, but her last two albums have got me. I went to see her last week and I now consider myself a fan. And this song is brilliant.
I liked a few of her songs back in the late 90s/early 00s, then I lost track of her or didn't pay attention to her stuff throughout the 2000s, got back into her stuff about 3 years ago when I hear the album Let England Shake, fantastic album. She is quite a talent!
We salute the life of Nesim Kryeziu (1938-2016) the wonderful man in the film performing a traditional dance with a glass of water on his head at a wedding in his village of Brezne in the Opoja region of Kosovo
@@jamegumb7298 So you only responded to this wonderful comment about a man - who's character is wonderful - to insert your political beliefs? That right there, shows your character as a man. Had to be done. You're welcome.
Words, descriptions, images... everything we use for describing her art is too weak to tell. She has soul and power indeed. Only PJ can describe herself. And she's gonna do it again in April
Revisiting this song after a few years. Something it reminds me of: There is this survey that passes around on social media, asking men what women they admire- It's irritating, because they usually have to specify women NOT including their mother. PJ Harvey is one of my all time heroes. Serious badass, she is. First time I heard her music, I was really jealous- not of her, but of the dudes in her backing band. I would drop everything to play for someone with a vision as strong as hers.
Hello PJ Harvey. I have been listening to this on 6music. My god woman, what an amazing piece. Fantastic. I will be buying your new album. Thanks for the music xx
Her old stuff is even better , from Dry till Histories from the city , histories from the sea wich along dance hall at Louise point (with Jhonn Parish) are ones of the greatest albums
PJ Harvey, Bat For Lashes' Natasha Khan, Leslie Feist, Tracey Thorn, and Dido Armstrong are some of my favorite women's voices in music. Their voices are so beautiful, that I'm always moved to tears whenever I hear them sing.
+Hejira#2854 It's not that simple. Cinematography, the art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location; the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, and film stock; the camera angle and movements; and the integration of any special effects. What she complimented was the photography because this film is made by a photographer. Not all of the elements above, which describes cinematography.
thanks polly..x .don,t ever stop...keep writing my artistic and all our sensitive thinkers dark to bright..for the down and to fight....... soundtracks.. you make me sculpt !! spread the art x
i caught the end of this song on the radio and as soon as i got in the door i looked it up. great stuff from an artist i haven't heard of or thought about in 20 years
This song is so relevant right now…I have the tears in my eyes.
Me too.
It hits harder now, yeah. When it came out it was nice to hear her rock out a little again, but I"ve been listening to it even more now.

So true, look at the middle east no sooner one war is over someone starts another.I just pray for the ordinary people,they have suffered so much.
@@the_Carthaginian They blew it.
She is an amazing woman. She observes the world and then brilliant songs like this one makes us think.

because people are getting dumber exponentially by the day.
That stupid saxophone does my head in man,that's every sodding one of her songs of late what!?

"The Glorious Land" on Let England Shake shreds me every time I hear it. Perhaps my favorite anti-war song ever.
This is brutal. I can't stop listening.
She is the most diverse artist I know. She could do pop and make millions. I value how different every different her every album is.

PJ has such a beautiful voice.
I was awoken at 5am this morning by this terrific riff and beautiful voice on the radio. This song is an instant classic. Utterly brilliant.
on the radio, LOL
Heartbreaking in equal measures
Lyrics
a revolving wheel of metal chairs
Hung on chains, squealing
Four little children flying out
A blind man sings in Arabic
Hey little children don’t disappear
(I heard it was 28,000)
Lost upon a revolving wheel
(I heard it was 28,000)
Now you see them, now you don’t
Children vanish ‘hind vehicle
Now you see them, now you don’t
Faces, limbs, a bouncing skull
Hey little children don’t disappear
(I heard it was 28,000)
All that’s left after a year
(I heard it was 28,000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28,000)
A tableau of the missing
Tied to the government building
8,000 sun-bleached photographs
Faded with the roses
Hey little children don’t disappear
(I heard it was 28,000)
Lost upon a revolving wheel
(I heard it was 28,000)
All that’s left after a year
(I heard it was 28,000)
A faded face, the trace of an ear
(I heard it was 28,000)
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out...
My God, this woman is incredible...
Song of my childhood❤🩹Thank you PJ Harvey

PJ is gritty, intelligent and real. Such a rare talent. Her new album is gonna be another highlight in my music collection.
She's never made a bad album even after all these years still going strong!!
I'll buy everything she does forever.
this one was certainly the first bad one. The new one, also bad ;-)
@@exodusvelo How do you know if the new one hasn't been released?
@@exodusvelothe new one is the best she’s done

Its great thats she's not full of herself, its just about the music
im actually not a P,J Harvey fan myself my friend is. But every song she does is different.
Greg Boardman listen to her live performances. She sounds even better. Her raw energy movements the way she conveys emotion is just another level.🤷♂️
She obviously sends a message, but you obviously don‘t understand. Get off of Instagram!
Kupferonkel
What are you talking about, nob end?
@@metmain5 "I heard it was 28,000."
God I love PJ. Still beautiful and still making courageous, moving music.
Only the emotionally brilliant appreciate her music❤️❤️❤️
Thank the universe for PJ - her style, grace and bravery in tackling some of the issues that darken our world. x
Very powerful.
Man, I really needed this.
underrated comment
i think so too
Yes
Nobody needs or deserves this -things slowly decaying and fading away. The song is really powerful though
Me too.
I won't even pretend to comprehend this. You are beyond amazing, P.J. Harvey
Without a doubt.In my opinion I think she is one of the best lyricist her songs tell such amazing stories.
it reminds me Patti Smith in 1979 " Dancing barefoot" ! great song !
This woman speaks! I do not like hitting the "like" button because what she is singing about is not "rockin' happy stuff". Not at all. But if the music gets your attention and then you hear what she has to say, you can't help but appreciate every note and beat and the message.
Absolutely fucking awesome.
I want to be PJ when I grow up.
+Larissa Baq I hope you will because the world needs more people like her... and I will be watching you
Hey Jacques Pagnoux, agreed! The world needs real music! :)
Glad you'll be watching, I'm about to release my first album!
+Larissa Baq Reste toi-même Larissa, tu es une merveilleuse musicienne... Ne change rien ! ;)
Merci beaucoup, +Brancaleone31, vous etes très gentil! Merci pour ecouter moi aussi... des gros bisous! :)
+Larissa Baq Só falta falar espanhol agora! hahaha! Linda! Vai ser grande como PJ sim!
the song is so powerful. a true gift to the soul
tears rolling down my face.... humans are so cruel to one another.....

Can't wait for the tour.
You're a great, honest, amazing, courageous artist PJ, we missed you and we love you !
what a tune
I missed so much the rocker PJ Harvey and now is coming with this awesome song. Congratulations and I hope to see you soon in Spain.
I don't know why, but this song strikes a chord so deeply with me right now.

I kept up w/her til Stories From The City...!
Masterpiece... The Greatest...
Amazing. Still mind blowing after all these years. Love your work, Polly Jean. Thank you.
She is back and better than fucking ever.
I'm a new convert to PJ H and all I can say is that she is an amazing artist...
We salute the life of Nesim Kryeziu (1938-2016) the wonderful man in the film performing a traditional dance with a glass of water on his head at a wedding in his village of Brezne in the Opoja region of Kosovo
I'll raise a glass to him.
Looks like a character
Salute

Loved P J Harvey ever since I heard 'This is Love'. Still making incredible music which is rare and beautiful thing.
Amazing and humble at the same morning. I'm not capable.
This is not exquisite music only. This is culture. Thank you so much PJ.
this song always makes me cry. thanks for your music, Polly!
i feel that this album is going to be the most intense and powerful release of this decade.
+Maynor Toruño I Love Let England Shake too. But this new album seems to be a bigger thing.
+Maynor Toruño That was a major piece of work, I never felt this since " Tommy" by The Who .
absolutely agree with you
+Bruno Fernandes não aguento mais esperar!
+Lion Den faltam só 18 dias pro lançamento....mas to mega ansioso. parece uma eternidade
And watch them fade out
And watch them fade out

I am and have always been looking for passionate human beings aka musicians ready to drop everything to play within my vision!
Lot of gulls, crows, pigeons....garbage landfill....amazing video, amazing PJ's world. love you
Love this one. Realy looking forward to The Hope Six Demolition Project and desperately want her to play in Boston if/when she tours the USA.
Goddamn... Yet another great song by Ms. Harvey!
beautiful, real music right here! thank you Polly
Hello PJ Harvey. I have been listening to this on 6music. My god woman, what an amazing piece. Fantastic. I will be buying your new album. Thanks for the music xx
Queen 👑
I'm deeply in love with her brain.
Best PJ video ever
Ugh love it! She's everything !!!
Thank you, thank you so much tô come to Brazil, Polly. I hope anxiously for a great presentation. It'll be unforgetable. We love you.
Still making cutting edge amazing music!!! Love PJ!!!
She just keeps getting better and better.
amazing as everything she does! loved it!
+Milton Lescano this woman is a masterpiece
We love you PJ!
The first time I listen to Pj Harvey... And I like it
Begin with Let England Shake LP like I did. Hope Six Demolition Project is amazing, but it makes more sense if you start with LES.
@@ibodhidogma No, start at the beginning. Start with Dry. It's a hell of a journey.
Her old stuff is even better , from Dry till Histories from the city , histories from the sea wich along dance hall at Louise point (with Jhonn Parish) are ones of the greatest albums
every album is different. start at the beginning.

Amazing rhythm and voice....strong message.
Brilliant. Perfect.

Thank you so much, one more time, for your beautiful work. Beautiful images.
wicked, evocative, still fresh, wonderful
♥ She is back and I'm so glad for that!
God I Love PJ Harvey.
Glad PJ is back to rock stuff! Lovely song.
Coming back to listen to this banger
UK #1 album!
I'm pretty sure time will be generous to this record
It most certainly has.
amazing song, fantastic photography
+Rety Matos she done it again !
+Rety Matos it's Cinematography because it's moving image not still image.

Good track. I love her
Come on PJ give us another Album!
THIS IS SO GOOD
my favourite woman singer !!!!!! simple and magic, powerfull fellings in her voice !!!!!!
Only discovered pj a month ago (ridiculous I know). I think this is my favorite... But I haven't found a single one i don't like. Wonderful stuff!
Thank you so much for including Athens in your next tour. We love you!!!!!!!!!!!
I have alot of respect for this song because I live a +/- sheltered life.
She is a talented sweet beautiful woman.
Thank you for some great memories from 2017's Off Festival, grettings from Poland :)

PS: PJH = Goddess.
Mucho material para PJ, sobre todo en México :(
