Amazingly haunting and beautiful album. Hard to appreciate with only one song. This is a sit down and listen straight through experience - go ahead give it a try - you will not be disappointed.  A must buy if you are a PJH fan!

Snow in south Wales. I'm up in a high valley...The snow is deep here tonight. The wood fire is warm, RP is being very good to me.

May artists, most notably PJH, always find a forum.

I guess every brilliant performance needs one of these to keep the bell curve balanced.

Sorry, PJ.  I normally like your stuff but this one probably should have stayed in the can.

I really like PJ, but this has to be my least favorite of her albums.

Lyrics:

White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you

White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf
On a path cut 1500 years ago

And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones

Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked
(Our unborn child in me)
White chalk
(Poor scattered land)

Scratch my palms
There's blood on my hands

 —-

I love the Whilte Chalk album, love how she pushes herself out of the comfort zone.

As time has gone by the ever-changing PJ Harvey has left me somewhat in the dust.  I was with her in lockstep up until her Stories album but since then I haven't been able to absorb anything she's put out.  Can anyone bring me up to speed?  Is this newer stuff just as great as I would expect from her?  I understand it's very different and therefore challenging to the listener, but I can handle that.  I guess I'm wanting to know if it's worth the effort.

I really really almost everything PJ has done, but this one...not so much.

Another eclectic addition to PJ's catalog. Her continued evolution as an artist is fascinating listening.

I've always loved this artist, but this song is dreadful.  (Sorry, Bill.) {#Sorry}

Woo-hoo! I'm first!

Love PJ! First time hearing this song. I find it quite dark and eerie. I'll have to give it a listen when I get home (my work environment is not the best for a song like this!).
