PJ Harvey Full Set | From The Basement

[@drumdidawnandrade6004]

"The devil" and "Grow grow grow" are my favourite songs from White Chalk album. A haunting piece of art. Her sarcastic sense of humour "Are you ready for another little happy number?". This woman is a genius. Pure inspiration and a complete Artist.

[@aggedyran]

There are no words that truly express my admiration for PJ Harvey. This set is a gift.

[@marck6290]

Absolutely. No words. Just deep emotion, admiration.. Aweness!

[@protomarabou]

oh yes there are words ! Just look at the other top comments

[@danielh8711]

Quite a few

[@neroltecneops59]

If you are checking on the like I just gave, FYI PJ has a new album in the works projected to be released in 2023. No matter what crap is happening in the world, this is something to get excited about!

[@martinjamesdaley]

White Chalk is an absolute masterpiece.

[@russlane]

I cannot overstate how hard i rejected this album on release, only to put it up there with is this desire 10 years later. I learned from my error tho - if i don't like a pjh album, i just give it a few years lol

[@robf1557]

@@russlane same thing here, couldn't really vibe with the sorrowful ballads, but a revisit roughly a year later opened my eyes completely. A superb album

[@brunocfer2]

She´s ethereal. Like the ghost of some cursed 18th century woman named Polly Jean, condemned to sing her sorrows for eternity.

[@Irys1997]

I saw her perform in NYC at Hammerstein Ballroom a couple of days before 9/11, and in the intervening years I have let her fade out of my life, like what happened to a lot of elements of my life prior Listening to this though brought it all back. I am shredded with goosebumps and emotions

[@patrickjmt]

i accidentally had two browsers open and they were off by about 30 seconds while listening to this; i thought through the whole set she was recording and replaying part of her music so that it was layered and was blown away.

[@stevenjavro2038]

That would be an impressive delay module.

[@tausendevonrittern1421]

Thanks for your advice! Just tried it and I must say you´re absoluteley right!

[@izaakdaviddiggs]

Always enjoyed her Picnic at Hanging Rock phase....

[@Hipnoticafilms]

I'm so impressed how she carried out this From The Basement all by herself. So talented!

[@KorbenDenver]

She made the metronome swing =)

[@marceltiel7919]

'Ready for another happy little number?' Hahaha I remember her calling this album 'uplifting'. Actually it's my favorite album of her ever. This session is just sheer brilliance.

[@santiagobenites]

PJ Harvey is an artist in the true sense of the word, and I've been a big fan right from the beginning. Listening to and watching this beautiful performance totally made my day! Thank you, PJ, for sharing your art with us.

[@GIBKEL]

Hey Jo....I left off at ‘To bring you my love’- after loving all three of her first three. What should be my next move in her discography?

[@equinnox70]

@@GIBKEL I am quite obsessed with “Is This Desire” lately after loving her first three albums. Haunted themes, interesting electronics, and intriguing artistic noises. Would love to hear what you think/feel after a few listens.

[@RIK_JAMES420_POV]

Hard to not have to pick your jaw up off the floor after that. Deep, Diverse and Divine set. This is a beautiful gift 🙏

[@dynjarren8355]

This is amazing! Eerie and ghostly even. That she can sound this good by herself is astonishing! What a talent! This is like PJ Harvey Unplugged! And I like Acoustic versions of songs a lot. Fifty years from now this will stand out as a Gem from the past. She can always look back at this and smile because she sounded so good!

[@stuartpeters6047]

Seen her twice. Its a whole different experience. Borderline spiritual. Just Beautiful.

[@shonbarber9896]

so beautiful. it's crazy. makes me glad to be alive to see this.

[@mortystraphouse5077]

one of the most underrated artist of r times

[@oursquivolenvtt]

PJ Harvey, une présence, une voix, toujours à se réinventer... Je n'ai malheureusement jamais pu la voir en live...mais je ne désespère pas. Sans faire de classement ou autre, pour moi c'est l'artiste féminine qui permet de s'émerveiller à chaque nouvel album

[@lacraola]

Bien qu il y ait 2ans que vous ayez écrit ça, je suis bien d'accord avec vous ! Une artiste

[@justanotherrider]

How the hell PJ ended up in our same graceless shallow dimension in the multiverse...that will forever remain beyond science and human comprehension...

[@mikemaxwell3050]

This album took me years to get into. While still not my favorite by her it definitely is one of the few albums ever to really dig its way under my skin and stay there for a while after listening to it. Definitely has a mood it sets that’s unlike anything else.

[@cendrinecatel3813]

Guitare, chant, piano, harmonica, saxophone, percussion, elle dessine, écrit des poèmes, et le tout avec un incroyable talent. Quelle source d'inspiration ❤

[@willclarke4631]

More Reverb! Last time I saw you PJ, was doing this solo White Chalk set in Melbourne. You ended the set with Desperate Kingdom of Love. I love that song so much and it made my realize the the world and life can be beautiful and perfect. I hope you know what you do to us, don’t stop.

[@animeNARBLE]

You have no idea how much I've wanted to see this in its complete form and in HD. I cannot thank you enough! My favourite PJ's album and I think this performance really captures the eerie essence of the album in my opinion; just her in a room telling these hauntingly beautiful stories. Cheers!

[@egrrl4]

PJ Harvey has always been so creative & unique. Forever one of my favorite artists.❤️

[@whitechalk019]

Polly singing White Chalk in this video make me feel blessed for having ears

[@grimecrimetime]

I remember hearing this 10+ years ago, during full blown addiction. White Chalk made me yearn for the time before I went down that road. Today, after several years of sobriety, this song gives me a yearning for the years I lost and the people I lost; to go back and do it all differently. Time is such an unforgiving aspect of reality

[@eddiemi]

The Piano performance is amazing.

[@ianactually]

What a sublime performance - every strum, each tick of the metronome, each and every breath and that haunting voice. Raw and beautiful on so many levels.

[@Man_Ray78]

I Love this woman. First heard her sing i cant get no satisfaction by the Stones, with Björk in the 90's ,because that year they two were the hottest womens act in the popular culture and it blew me away. For some reason, any time that clip from Brit awards, 1994 was always taken down from youtube but there is one, uploaded four months ago (March 2021) .Mabe those wankers in control of these awards stopped caring or some others with the right mind control anything. But i started seriously listen to Pj Harvey around 1997, when i bought To Bring you my Love, and that still, is in my fav 26 list of all time. It's a one in a million type of girl. She just has something over others, in this field, like Björk.
