- 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 focus, to increase the abstraction. I particularly liked the white, washed-out look of the sky and how at times there are stretches of pure white. I originally had All And Everyone in my head for these images, but knew visually it could work elsewhere. But when we started editing The Glorious Land it became obvious it was made for it.
Not only is this latest album by PJ Harvey not only great, it is her best, most deeply realized and mature work to date. It is now much more than merely music. Clearly, she is not one of us.
I have been listening to PJ Harvey since 1993 and I haven't loved an album of hers as much since the Dance Hall at Louse Point/Is This Desire era. This is art, folks.
My daughter turned me onto her last month and I wasn't impressed at first but gave a few listens to other CD's and I AM NOW IN LOVE WITH THIS WOMAN'S MUSIC.
It just oozes genius. I can't stop listening to this album. I'm like a little kid let loose in a sweety shop.
she's just keep getting better at what she does, and she's even gettin more beautiful :)
this album makes me think of my father,my grandfather.....in a way i feel it's all an extension of the emotions they themselves dealt not purely those on the outside who has their stance. and for that,indeed this is art....this is an innovative piece of work she's delivered. this album is the very essence of authenticity and poetry in every conceivable way.
This "album" is the most beautiful music I know. Let England Shake!
PJ is starting to enter the discussion of greatest female rock stars ever.
the trumpet does it for me too.....it just works where it shouldn't. Amazing.
i love her, I LOOOVE HER!
In a gig in Italy, i've cry.
Every album, every songs, i love her voice, her words...everything.
שיר מעולה מאלבום אחד הטובים שנעשו לאחרונה! BIG LIKE!!!
Best song from a truly great album!
This is a gift, Mr. Murphy....so beautiful.
Excellent... Possibly my favourite track on the new.
this album is magical
oh ... my....God. fantastic album.
She is great.Sensitive and original.
This is one of my favorite tracks.
Best album I have bought in ten years, brilliant, visit Devon Polly............
Beautifully done. I think the imagery works very well with this amazing song.
Voice and style of a goddess!
She has a nice SG in this video and she plays is with the quality of character that matches the "Glorious Land" lyrics.
PJ is The Queen of rock. And always was.
My favourite track from the new album too.
how i love this woman!! thumbs up!
Beautiful, Glorious 50Ft Queen Of Mine :-)
mesi di ascolto e ancora non sono stufo.credo sia una dipendenza da suoni.
She is so amazing!
simply mesmerising, and i love her nose
Haunting layers unique.
My fave from Let England Shake.
Wow I don't think there's been a single director of P J Harvey's video that I haven't loved the work on. Great song and great video, keep it up :)
12? You mean there are still 8 to come? I can't wait! You truly have made this new album even more enjoyable and I thank you. The imagery you have used has me watching every second. Something I can't say about any video in a very long time. Tell Polly to please come back to TX!!!
a goddess,cant wait to see you again polly
Same, favourite track from the new album
For the life of me I couldn't figure out the strumming pattern because of the watery guitar effects, thanks to this video I think I've got it now haha :)
whatever industries are subject to sell outs in Britain ,because nobody... neither goverment , the so called upper 10000 nor the "royals" care, the best pop songs were ,are and will be made for ever in Britain.greatings from germany
just love her :) my pj
so very interesting! yes I like that.
English folk music makes a comeback, with a bit of a 21st century twist!
Althought this all about ENGLAND (I live in SCOTLAND)
she still is showing how their history of the beautiful landscape has been tainted by rule and dictorial rights over the landscape.... we all keep our surroundings sacred and so does PJ....XXXXXXX. to her
such a.. glorious fruit of Polly :)
Super one
dear,if you had actually listened to the album comprehensively,perhaps you could see this goes beyond mere waxing poetic about england but the histrionics and the affects of conflict. and what i find so resonating about this album is its vivid rawness....realism. we hear so many anti-war songs and albums but never in this vein. the kind without political pretense but one that conjures up images of the people that are actually involved.
simple...
voll liebe (:
^^
7 people came here, expecting the best album of the year, and were kind of disappointed. I can completely sympathise.
@translateslowly Amen to that. PJ HARVEY! Austin is waiting.....
Album of the decade so far ;) but i'm sure polly will better it before the decade is over :) when you coming back to scotland? soon i hope :)
lindo demais
@dano9008 No. She hasn't worked with him live since the Uh Huh Her tour in 2005, and he's featured in a dvd recording of that tour in 2006. Since then they seem to have parted company, musically.
@b44rny
Come on, man. That's the "hook" of the song! The first time I heard it on the radio I thought some pop-up opened on my PC, and I couldn't get what was going on. The second time I recognized the song by it, and from there on it just is the thing I'm waiting for every time I hear the song.
i could lost in harvey´s eyes...
@OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth That is the problem for people discovering the record after the Mercury prize. But when it came in the charts, it was a big surprise and for pj followers the certitude it was a very important record. We could'nt expect it would be so acclaimed...
I would love to hear her live once. Chances she'll come to Croatia...?
if enough want it i'm sure there is hope :) i've been to all but one her Uh Huh Her tour, blaspheme
She's great! She's helping keep rock alive for another generation. She's not the savior of rock n roll but she is keeping it going for a time when a rock n roll savior comes and rekindles love of rock music. Another good sign: rap is dying as we speak!! Yes it lasted 30 plus year which was way to long for that "jungle" music but it is finally dying. Now maybe real soul will come back and rock will have a renaissance that is long over due.
Fine, hate rap all you want, go to town with it, but no need for racism, thnx.
We were all 14 once.
get off the pipe
fuckin love it mate i really do xxxxx
@b44rny
Not incessant but sarcastic reveille. It adds a depth of meaning to the song that it would lack otherwise.
I wish I'd met her music earlier..
does anyone know if a DVD will be released with all of these videos? a special edition CD + DVD combo. that would be awesome
i wish she would have done this for her white chalk album
fuck yeah!
hahahah!!! too fucking funny!
its ironic because its ppl like you that hate him so much causing him to gain so much negative ATTENTION that he has become famous in a way never seen before in this world...
think about it... if ppl like you didnt feel the need to mention his name whenever negatively possible, no1 would know who he is... you are him
It's not even a trumpet, it's a bugle!
i wish there was any german musician who has her size and effort to sing about germany :( u better not let her out of england.. i wont let her go back :)
@b44rny haha that´ s what i like about it!
@b44rny I would so like a version without the trumpet :(
Why did they repeat the introduction to the song?
Polly, would you to marry me??
ahahah
@alundiniho She used to look and sound very different to where she is now. If you haven't seen this vid you might be in for a shock.
watch?v=QySwGXrpHzw&feature=fvsr
@JiS01 calm the hell down man
Does Rob Ellis play on this one? It doesn't sound interesting enough to be him. PJ is very good and I love her from afar, but her music is at its best when he is involved. Or so it seems to me.
Most over rated album this year, however the music isn't bad it's just not great. She sings about England and all the minnions chant ART.
9 people are massive Bieber fans
@randinnnn "queen"? she sure would not embrace the royalist connotations of privilege and elitism and this album is antithetical to that...
it is the best rock alternative album of the year because music sucked this year. rap was okay but rock sucked
Personally, I really don't like this song. That said, the rest of this album is amazing, as is the somewhat similar White Chalk.
ah how much we love you pj
