You could hear a pin drop for that entire performance, she is absolutely captivating! This performance is so many things at once, powerful, striking, disturbing and exciting
I have to say, that still after all these Decades, her music is still so powerful!!!!*. She has been and probably always will be a force of nature!! ... Blessings to you Lady!!!..
This song and to bring you my love are so powerful without drums or much else happening. She's AWESOME!! Btw, it's rare for me, a drummer, to concede these songs are better served without drums. 😌
I remember seeing this live (by accident) back in the day. I've been a fan ever since- I forgot the whole sheep testicle interview - ahhh English humour!
I like this song this song reminds me of true things when Ruth Wilson with dancing at the Disco I wish it was me and her singing to this song this is our song me and Ruth
TBYML is one of the best albums of all times for sure. An absolute masterpiece. I could listen to it five times in a row and never get tired. Wonderful music and... She is wonderful too.
Yeah, ignore all of that crap from '95 on (Oasis, No Doubt, Green Day, Korn, Blink-182, Spice Girls, Britney, Christina, Backstreet Boys, N'Synch, etc.)
She doesn't seem too keen and perhaps understandable. Kissing a woman on the cheek was probably outdated even in the early 90s, especially for a powerful feminist like Polly. I mean, she touches sheep testicles, thus she's clearly outside of the box ;)
This performance feels right home at a dimly lit basement venue in a metro city late at night encapsulating the audience in a haze of smoke and whiskey.
She uses it so well though. It could appear condescending but she moves it on to castration on national TV like she is a farmers wife and new member of the WI talking about how her onions are doing this year. Peerless.
He probably didn't know what to make of it; she was something quite different as far as female-led musicians went (adding her being only 24 here). Not excusing but trying to help explain.
honestly she has more musical education then any other popular singer on that scene. Not only she is cool confident and talented but she is classically trained and plays like 14 instruments. She is a PRO

"I work on a farm and I ring sheep's balls." - Well, folks, that's all the time we have for today. Won't you join us next time? The performance was better than the interview, I can't believe they did her like this.
I bet The Tonight Show didn't have any idea of what the performance would be like, they thought it would be just some girl in a dress playing the guitar, how cute.
Right?! Like who tf is she anyway? You had your turn to talk lady, now sit aside and let the amazing Polly Jean have her say now. I'm sure anything PJ Harvey said was more interesting than whatever that woman was promoting there.
She spins a yarn, or is it? Does she really live on a farm? Do they really do that thing with the rubber bands? He is tempted to take the piss. He is a bit afraid. He starts a potentially sexist joke. Polly Jean stops him dead with an adult to child reminder that castration is not a suitable topic for a date. He moves on. Wise man. Hilarious.
Someone doesn't get it. You are very likely to be sexy if you are amazing. DERP. Is Prince less talented or respected because his sex appeal is off the charts? How about David Bowie? Oh, the shallowness. That person must not be a musician. I am, so I feel that I speak with a bit of authority ... turns out even homely mo'fo's start lookin' sexy when they're GOOD at what they do. You see? Again, DUH. No offense, but come on.
Rebecca Lynn It;s just a ridicilous comment. Polly is pretty much inarguably the most respected artist of the past 20 years. Every album she makes tops the critics polls.
