PJ Harvey - The Wind

[@TheDrapetomanic]

It's incredible how different each album of hers is, stylistically.

[@cheddarpuff]

So true!

[@TheDrapetomanic]

@@cheddarpuff can't stop listening to PJ!

[@cheddarpuff]

@@TheDrapetomanic This might well be her best album.

[@TheDrapetomanic]

@@cheddarpuff It's hard to decide what her best is for me.

[@harrymay2528]

That's the UK for you.

[@shanegrosenbach]

The vibe of NYC in this perfectly gives off the vibe of this song

[@russlane]

I was young when To Bring You My Love came out, and it scared the hell out of me but yet kept bringing me back. Then this dropped when I was in college, and had an opposite reaction. Without any of the bombast I usually expect of her, she kept scaring, bewildering me and bringing back for more. Many years later, Is This Desire is my most beloved albums of hers.

[@ChristosVangelopoulos]

she is such a storyteller. that's what i love most about her. i could make up stories about her stories.

[@lindasemple4687]

I keep going back to it too. It’s so spooky and feminine

[@LAURIENILES-yp2mo]

BRING ME MY LOVE

[@morriganravenchild6613]

This is a dark dark song, so many deep threads. St Catherine and the windy high chapel - loneliness of the Dorset hills in winter and the wind.

[@morriganravenchild6613]

+tecdessus Yes, on typical winter afternoons when the light is going and the bad weather comes in from the sea and you are alone in the ruins with the wind.

[@DavidDatura]

+Morrigan “warhelm” Ravenchild Nice...I want to be there too.

[@Raituli76]

Morrigan Ravenchild sounds awesome 💖

[@businessawakening1028]

i like Nick Cave too.

[@adreethomas2844]

Why is it so dark?

[@karmenrichardson7289]

She is so in touch with herself and the universe. I think that’s why her music is so authentic. Phenomenal!😌😎👍❤️

[@astolfosobrelaluna.3099]

Totally 😍🤗

[@IDontTalkToCops]

So true!

[@ohiotattoo1]

That smile after she cracks her knuckles just levels me

[@greggsucha4526]

OMG yes

[@janeharrington9811]

Omg. PJ Harvey has been around forever, people! She rocks.

[@crashpalace4834]

Such a phenomenal voice and composer. And "Is This Desire?" is a perfect album.

[@Eli-C-]

I've been obsessed with this song lately and I have no idea why.

[@TACOMENyum]

I love the way she uses the Bass in this.

[@rong2912]

Her voice is like silk.

[@ryanmckinstry1121]

Ita oui broski. Yawhol mein herr burgher.

My favorite singer that's ever lived.

when she wants it to be...

You'll find out, soon enough, it is not.

[@Peculiarpossum]

@@blacksandnz she has so many voices it’s incredible. One for every kind of fabric lol

[@crust8016]

One of my favorite music videos. Such a level of class that is hard to reach.

[@drdoom-nr3gs]

I have adored you and your music for many years. Thank you for everything your music has done for me. I promote you any opportunity I have. Haunting, pounding, rhythmic, beautiful songs. Thank you for saving my soul PJ!

[@elglt8071]

Vous écrivez comme PJ H chanterait. Un bel hommage dans un style rock. merci à PJ H d'avoir sauvé votre âme

[@Venserql]

The only ASMR I'll ever listen to.

[@LindaMurphy-t1u]

The only artist I choose to see live in concert!

[@serendipityjayne6162]

I love this song, the whispering vocals just makes this song.

[@ryanking7960]

Great artists evolve yet have a foundation of their unique identity. Polly Jean has crushed it.

[@sergecharlebois6114]

I'm 42 and just now really getting into all of PJ Harvey's discography. Having dumped my ex I'm now obssessing over "Don't you wish you never met her...!!" from "Rid of me", but wow I mean she's fucking awesome all over the place!

[@jdez10]

Fell in love with this song. HBO kicks ass with soundtracks.

[@adreethomas2844]

She has many songs. Listen to the album To Bring You My Love and the album Dry.. brilliant musician on par or higher than the best american bands.

[@AGLadyBird]

@@adreethomas2844 That album is gold

[@gunzillaoblivion]

Was ir on show ?

[@josemiguelmesalujan4783]

@@gunzillaoblivion big little lies

[@beathekitten]

remember when pj harvey invented the asmr

[@Amandanumnum]

LMAO

[@joerevere937]

I came LOOKING for this song when I first heard about ASMR. Weird that someone else mentioned it 2 years ago, FIRST COMMENT showing.

[@lifemusic1980]

Bob Ross but she is definitely top 5

[@RockRiders37]

Best comment in the history of KZbin, ever.

[@littleghostfilms3012]

2 seconds into the song I thought of asmr also.

[@lancerobinson8889]

Ok Harvey is my hall pass and my ultimate crush. She is the best ever.😊

[@izobelarmstrong8847]

I love this music video. She is in a dream like state driving around the city watching people move, walking around the busy streets very loud and noisy but it takes you out of that completely. Focusing on outside elements that you can still always feel, like the wind

[@alexsullivan6954]

I love the dark, twisted melody and whispering vocals, amazing. I also relate to the lyrics a lot (well, apart from the bit about torture on the wheel). Me and Catherine should take some beers to the hills.

[@borednerd2100]

What's it about exactly?

[@bodycide]

​@@borednerd2100 I think on the basic level "The Wind" is about a woman - Catherine but it could anyone - who voluntarily choose to isolate herself from people, and more specifically from men, because her only desire (is it desire?) is to devote herself to God. She is becoming an anchoret, which implies she's already "died to the world". Back to the song's lyrics, I think Polly/the narrator romanticizes, or daydream about, the idea of mystical marriage... which could be perceive to the some extant as an "rebel act" - I mean, how can be that Catherine, this smart, beautiful and sexual woman, renounce any earthly goods, she's (no more) interested in flesh and bones men - What a waste! But I think there's also suggested the other side of a story? a tale (?): it seems like Catherine herself finds it as rather joyful experience (in ancient myths gods - as immaterial deities - always appear to mortals "in disguise" so the wind might represent here God. I mentioned here before about the idea of mystical marriage - and some female mystics can experience God in erotic, sensual way. I try to explain as best as I can my interpretation of this song. One of my very fav songs ever written.

[@louistracy6964]

Nice how west-country Polly is grooving on Bristol bass and beats.

[@philp2088]

All around the concrete jungle the wind is blowing.. the sublime is just a breath away.

[@skumsters2323]

still not sure if, at the most random moments, u sit on me shoulder or in me ear. But love it when u make things more clear but weird. Just lovely when u seem near.

[@RobTheVaughn]

Harvey is one of the few true geniuses of both the 20th and 21st century and this only has 16k likes? Makes me lose faith in humanity....

[@calviv1]

Can’t wait to see her live this October

[@sammencia7945]

Like every Gen Xer I saw her in a 175 seat club on her first tour early 90s. Fantastic. Great band behind her.

[@robertwill23]

Great song. "Is this desire" is very interesting album. Trip-hop influence all over the place which is good. Makes sense, trip-hop sound was everywhere in late 90s music.

[@polarfroge]

You literally embody “cool.” 💚💙 your tunes.....blow, wind....blow.

Wow 😊 they have PJ Harvey on the Season 1 Episode 1 outro of Big Little Lies. Forgot how good this whole LP was. 1998 seems like so long ago now, yet just yesterday. I'm gonna have to download to the whole thing again. As many times as I've heard this song I didn't know it even had a video. It's a good video. Goes with the HBO series pretty well actually.

[@DavidDatura]

One of my favourite tracks from 'Is This Desire' but I don't think this video does it justice...it doesn't portray the atmosphere and mystery of the song enough, its in New York for starters! Mind you I do like that bit when she feigns cracking her knuckles to the sound effect in the music, together with that cheeky but subtle smile.

[@mr.k9262]

I think that's a fair opinion..Im responding simply because of how idiotic other peoples r

[@petrosstyle2981]

she really likes new york... the next album after "is this desire" was all about life in new york, with pj harvey in new york in the cover...

[@DavidDatura]

@@petrosstyle2981 I know, the follow up to Is This Desire was a very good album. And I have nothing against New York…just didn’t seem appropriate for this particular song.
