This song makes me feel like something that I cannot explain.😢😢

[@Hozenfefer]

This song makes me feel like someone I'm not. And I like it.

[@logansaan]

Dark River Is A Beautifully Tragic Movie❤️😔🎶

[@Ring0fSaturn]

The film, Dark River, is profoundly beautiful and sad, a story about the land and making a living and about family troubles that take generations to repair. This song by PJ Harvey is perfect for the soundtrack.

[@kathy7684]

PJ Harvey is one of the most generous music artists. With every song, she opens up a deep space, inviting us to dive within her, to be drawn up, refreshed, freshwater from her well.

[@tmarastroud-waite1210]

Absolutely ❤️ saw pj in concert numerous x . Fabulous artist.

[@britpoppansy]

Kathy, have you seen that Aussie interview from I think 2003 or 2004 where she said Kylie Minogue is "not a person"? I think she may have have been naughty then. It made me chuckle so much.

[@TheLoveLoadChannel]

Indeed!

[@ErgonBill]

Great song, great movie.

[@basilrojas6324]

Polly can do no wrong,thank heavens for her talent and artistry,saving us from the world,life and the crap out there.

[@janewright2800]

PJ Harvey's voice is melancholic and beautiful 💚ruth wilson a phenomenal actress! Loved the film

[@pigwillnot8281]

thank you MISS POLLY for decades of the best music ive ever found

[@paulpillow7641]

Oh, wow! Beautiful.

[@tmarastroud-waite1210]

Yes hauntingly beautiful, just like the old country the troubles....

[@TheLoveLoadChannel]

I'm not equating PJ Harvey with early Suzanne Vega, because Polly has no equal, nor am I implying anything negative about Vega, but this song, in a vacuum. reminds me a bit of Vega's work on her first album although elevated. In short, a beautiful song!

[@Hozenfefer]

Thank you.

[@Jabberstax]

Proper English folk 🙏❤️

[@tombeasley6217]

A beautiful song and a beautiful accompaniment to the film.

[@dale4039]

man i love this movie Ruth Wilson is amazing in it, she's 1 of those actresses that can say a lot just with a look

[@bogusmorgus8679]

just saw the movie Beautiful song

[@morriganravenchild6613]

She is unique and never fails to deliver something that's first class.

[@scottreynolds7768]

PJ is going more and more folk if anyone can be a folk singer its PJ

[@nataliakorchynska3604]

Harry Escott is very talented composer

[@jenniferniskanen361]

This is such a compelling song. It has been on my personal playlist for a long time. Pairing the song with the visuals from what was also a great movie, just puts icing on the cake.

[@007NowOnline]

Esm'e Creed-Miles from the amazon series "Hannah" is also in this film. She played the young version of Alice in the flashbacks in the film. Such a great actress. She really portayed the pain, confusion, anxiety and fear the character was facing. And this song by PJ Harvey is hauntingly beautiful and a perfect match for this film. Such a well done film overall.

[@orkun7567]

close your eyes, let your mind relax

[@tobiasthuresson7270]

Watched this film yesterday and it's really, really good. Ruth Wilson is amazing as always. Best actress around today.

[@MarioManeriMusica]

Che bella canzone!😍

[@ligottispandemoniumcarniva7014]

never heard a more eloquent expression of being English and remembering your ancestry, the peppercorn and the goose's quill, must admit I'm a bit in love, oh the cleverness of her : )

[@alwynmoller4242]

My heart is swept away, into the heavens

LYRICS My father left me an acre of land Sing ivy, sing ivy My father left me an acre of land Sing holly, go whistle and ivy I plowed it with a ram's horn Sing ivy, sing ivy And sowed it all over with one peppercorn Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing ivy I harrowed it next with a team of rats Sing ivy, sing ivy And reaped it with my little tooth comb Sing holly, go whistle and ivy I sent it home in a walnut shell Sing ivy, sing ivy And thrashed it with a goose's quill Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing Ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing holly, go whistle and ivy Sing ivy

[@BohemianConspiracy]

Hey it's Ruth Wilson ! I've seen her a few year ago playin' Jane Eyre and then now in the remarkable serie The Affair... Hollywood would be lost without the Brits... it's just a fact (there was an article in The Atlantic about that a year ago)... Thanks for the sound ! John Barleycorn could be their thing too i suppose (etc...) Hello from the french speaking part of Switzerland :-)

[@blablablagfzrgf6238]

that's the way she used to sing!!!!(i have to apologize- i love white chalk,les,hsdp,but i've just missed her old voice timbre

[@LectroBer]

Anyone know where I can get a coat like hers?

[@SherHerbert]

EstebanEsq. Try Barbour

[@Andy99silva1]

Can someone me what she means when she sings " "go whistle and ivy" I watched the movie just in love with this song but I'm missing this part 🙁

[@beren_bear4255]

The Song is essentially an impossible task. In the song a young man is doing these impossible tasks to impress a girl.

[@ShanghaiRooster]

@@beren_bear4255 Much of the imagery is copped from Scarborough Fair - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTNhneLqM17mrM. The comment by Rich H on the linked video tells the background to the words.

[@Itsaboutthewaterlife]

@@ShanghaiRooster Yeah thanx. Good link. Makes sense what you say. Wow: complex tune. You sure don't hear anything like that today.

[@agagpatatra]

Eυτυχώς δεν με απογοητεύεις εκτός σκηνής μεγάλη Πόλλυ.

Polly Jean is magic.....

[@ukpolska5335]

Beautiful song from Polly, but, I miss her grungy-self. Long snake moan et al.....

[@kasperdijkman8141]

[@daneel4ever]

Good one :DDD

[@ukpolska5335]

Kasper Dijkman not really as I have seen her 8 times in recent years, and a lot of it is amazing, but I still miss her old self.
