LYRICS:
Starling swarms will soon be lorn.
Rooks tell stories ’cross the corn.
Goocoo soon will ’es leave make.
Swifts abandon autumn’s ache.
What says dunnick, drush or dove?
Love Me Tender? Tender love?
Hear the grinding wheel-bird grieve.
Grief unknits my ravelled sleeve.
Death of zummer, death of play,
Waxing night and dwindling day.
Help me dunnick, drush and dove.
Love Me Tender. Tender love.
Executive Producer: Sumit Bothra
Management : Sumit Bothra, Brian Message, Olivia Plunket for ATC Management

Excerpt from PJ’s book Orlam.. Ira’s story unfolds. Ira’s world is a magical realist outpost of the West Country where PJ Harvey grew up. Conjured through tightly rhyming poems, often taking the form of songs or incantations. Dreading her return to the misery of school, she sings to the birds for comfort: “Help me dunnick, drush or dove. / Love Me Tender. Tender Love.”

My mom used to listen to PJ Harvey on repeat at home when I was a kid. I remember one time, I was 4, sitting with her while she listened to « Stories from the city » and told me that PJ’s music always gives her goosebumps. I didn’t quite understand at that time. She has always been her favourite artist. I am now 22, the same age as my mom when she started listening to PJ, and I also have goosebumps every time.

[@jimmycorper]

[@horatio321]

This song is excellent. As others have commented here, the synth sound in the background is atmospheric. Obviously, the vocals are fab, but what really struck me was how familiar this song seemed to after just 1 play through. It's like this song has always existed in my sub conscious, and PJ Harvey has unlocked for us all.

[@jodysteck322]

Brother, it's so mesmerizing. Her sweet voice singing about birds makes me melt. And I do agree with you - it's just like I've heard this song from her before, but maybe in a different set of lyrics.

[@SuzanneO707]

Thats a truism. I can't cope with the longing when it stops. She is such a national treasure. Its like an old friend coming back to you and reminding you that life is a confusing set of memories and experiences, but we hang on.

PJ has always been a one of a kind songwriter with very peculiar, introspective yet strong lyrics, and now she's even more introspective, focused on her ancestral roots, and the result is stunning. She's changed physically too: her features are more round and sweet, love everything about her really.

I can't stop listening to this. It's captured me, set me to daydreaming. I've had the unique experience with PJ Harvey of not being familiar with any of her work before this (aside from the omnipotent song about a big/little fish that stole her daughter). For me, this is like her first album. Presenting a mastery of magic and invocation.

She seems to be going back to her roots…as in her childhood, the surroundings in which she grew up and so on. I missed that aspect on her last more politicized album. And just a detail I very much liked here…the vocal transition she does from high to low. A cool touch.

@@JohnSmith-hm5pk I just found her music a lot more interesting back then. It was catchier, was more raw, and seriously rocked. Meet Ze Monsta, Dress, Rid of Me, Good Fortune, these songs are incredible. I loved Let England Shake, but I'm not a huge fan of the White Chalk stuff, and I see this new album being a lot like that. Kind of reminds me how Bjork went from playing really trippy electronic rock music to this orchestral stuff. Just a lot more drawn out and pretentious if you ask me. Not that PJ is there, but I just wish we'd get more rock music.

[@JohnSmith-hm5pk]

@@ryanbarnes840 yes, loads of good stuff had from her :) Tbh, 'is this desire' was the last album i completely liked as a whole. Then 'stories' had a few good ones, too, and so did 'uh huh'...

[@jelenazugic4500]

It's a very interesting thing she did with this record. It's like "Is This Desire?" meets "White Chalk" (with a few raw moments reminding of earlier records), and they go to an ancient wild fairy tale to tell the story of the maturing of a woman in the contemporary world. Enchanting atmosphere, and absolutely amazing lyrics in some of the songs! Embedding even contemporary myths and figures in the ancient, primal forces of nature, growth&yearning for love. If you look for a wide diversity of genres or dynamics, you might feel the songs repeating themselves, but if you experience this album as an amazing poem on growth and desire, transmitted as much through a lyrical world as through immersive, enchanting, bewitching sounds that are organically inseparable from the words - you may end up totally spellbound :)
