PJ Harvey - The Colour Of The Earth 

this acapella intro is so powerful......really hits me so hard

Let England Shake, one of the best albums that i've heard! thank you PJ Harvey

Louis was my dearest friend Fighting in the ANZAC trench Louis ran forward from the line I never saw him again Later in the dark I thought I heard Louis' voice Calling for his mother, then me But I couldn't get to him He's still up on that hill Twenty years on that hill Nothing more than a pile of bones But I think of him still If I was asked I'd tell The color of the earth that day It was dull and browny red The color of blood, I'd say

Oh ... My....God... Knocks the wind out of my heart ...

dear god this album is amazing

This song always hits me really hard in the feels. Makes me imagine if it was me in that trench and my best friend had gone over that line for the last time. Powerful stuff.

PTSD is flowing through every lyric, and so many more every day add to the long list of people who will never be the same after suffering the horrors of war. The only spoils are the ones that live on as memories of fallen friends

they should play this after the minute silence every remembrance day in the uk. very powerful.

I love this album, it’s just so British no one else could write like this. I wonder why that is. Our history, culture? This and Pink Floyds The Final Cut are just beautiful anti war albums. They make me proud to be English.

This made me cry. Loads. Love you PJ. :')

I wish my album version was 4:36 long not 2:33. I love this album so much. It's criminal how little views this has. Just shows that PJ's loyal fans buy the album instead of just listening on RU-vid I guess. :)

This version makes it hit hardest since it's more accurate to how those same soldiers would have sung it in the trenches as a war shanty. Can't listen to this with a dry eye.

how charming they are...

Pure magic.

brilliant. love her. so glad she won the mercury again. well deserved.

Want to grow old like them.

As always...PJ Harvey at her best !

The power of the song resonates the chasm of time and haunting silence left us when we lose our dearest companions. 🥀

Killer jacket on Mr. Parish here! :)

❤ PJ Harvey and Mick Harvey.

I regret not going through Let England Shake album when it first came out

Love to hear this song again and again. Thank you, Polly & her band!..

I knew it was Mick singing with her. Love you, Peej.

Mick Harvey ❤️

Wow, this is really powerful. Wow...

This just blows me away...

Replace ANZAC with Donbas and it would be a song about my friend

PJ Harvey ♥

I sooooo love this!

Beauty Full ~

Hab mich in das Album verliebt und vor allem in diesen Song, random seit 2 Tagen

Amazing!

This song (and the entire album) could be slotted in Incendies just as easily as any of the Radiohead tracks that were in the film. Theres just this feeling of melancholy mixed with hope in this song that makes it get stuck in my head and make me feel weird

AWESOME!

This is just such great stuff.

Incredible stuff!

I love good music, thus, I am addicted to this song.

AMOOO

Nice..love it:)

Brilliant. :)

It’s as good as anything Siegfried Sassoon wrote.

honestly her 2nd best album

If I was asked I'd tell The colour of the earth that day It was dull and browny red The colour of blood, I'd say... :D

I know Polly, who are those muppets?.

does anyone know what distracted Mick Harvey?

Can someone explain the bunny head being covered in plastic? What is the meaning?

ANZAC day yesterday

Sono della generazione che ha ascoltato musica e gruppi della "British invasion" e ho scoperto attraverso youtube Keith Relf poeta e fondatore degli Yardbirds ....Apprezzo questa cantante e il suo stile musicale...i love musica British !!! purtroppo non conosco inglese!!!...sorry

the answer; rust

Doesn't Mick H look Baltic ?

PJ you're bunny

the guys seem like they dont wanna be there? idk.

Louis was my dearest friend Fighting in the ANZAC trench Louis ran forth from the line I never saw him again Later in the dark I thought I heard Louis' voice Calling for his mother, then me But I couldn't get to him He's still up on that hill 20 years on that hill Nothing more than a pile of bones But I think of him still If I was asked I'd tell The colour of the earth that day It was dull and browny red The colour of blood, I'd say
