Song of the Day: PJ Harvey – The Words That Maketh Murder

Posted on

A big congratulations to one Polly Jean Harvey for her Mercury Prize victory on Monday. I had originally picked Adele to win in my prediction post but also noted ” It’d be a nice story to have Polly Jean win, given her work rate and maturation as a writer in the past decade” and that statement remains completely true. Let England Shake was a fantastic album and deserving of all the accolades it has been receiving. She is the first two time winner, which is quite surprising, not in the aspect that she has won twice, but in the aspect that no other band has won twice before.

Striking while the iron is hot, PJ Harvey will be releasing an Itunes session (people do that nowadays) next Tuesday and will feature these songs, which are a mix of new and old

1. Let England Shake
2. The Words That Maketh Murder
3. The Last Living Rose
4. Written On The Forehead
5. Angelene
6. C’Mon Billy
7. Down By The Water

Should be pretty good, I think you can buy it on itunes or something. Anyways, one of the songs on this track and on the Mercury Prize winning album Let England Shake is The Words That Maketh Murder. It’s doesn’t paint a pretty picture on violence, but it sounds so pleasant. Check it out.
