Seamus Murphy - On Battleship Hill

It opens in the house in Berlin I was staying while editing the films with Sebastian Gollek. This is Franz, Sebastian's stepfather. I liked having a German reciting the opening lines to a song written from and about the other side of the trenches. The bingo ladies were shot on Canvey Island, near Southend in Essex. Liked connecting them with the rockabilly/skiffle sound at the beginning of the track. Maybe when they were young women they jived to that sound? The bingo hall might have been a dance hall in their day. Canvey Island was certainly home to Dr. Feelgood.

For Armistice Day / Remembrance Day / Veterans Day…“On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches,a hateful feeling still lingers,even now, 80 years later.Cruel nature.Cruel, cruel nature.”PJ Harvey - On Battleship Hill HD

At 2:45, Harvey sits in the center of some interesting numbers. "Read between the lines" kiddos.... Cruel nature? Nope! This is manifest destiny!

Probably my favorite song on a truly great album. I like how as an artist she continually challenges herself to do something different and whatever she comes up with next, I am sure to love as much as what came before. So glad I read about Polly Jean Harvey in GQ in the 90's!

There is a good connection between the video and the lyrics. PJ Harvey sounds like she is crying and screaming. It's a gloomy song.

This song is a bit sad. We were a little confused when the happy tune of the song came on.

We think It's a quite gloomy song. The music is kinda sad. It sounds like the singer is almost crying.The musicvideo fits the lyric, because the video and the lyric both have a kind of weirdness to it.

A few weeks ago, I visited the Photo museum in Antwerp (Belgium) and in a room they were playing non-stop PJH videos. I took the headphone and sat there for more than an hour, totally mesmerized and forgetting time. There was only one other man in the room and when I finally stood up he asked me: who is this artist? PJ's work is so powerful that even a guy who had never heard of her was not able to leave for more than an hour...
