That album was an incredible masterpiece from the beginning to the end.

Only she can evoke great sadness and great joy in the same song. Genius album.

The handbag slinging always makes me smile. Such a vibrant, bubbly human being.

This style suited her so perfectly, hair outfit, everything

Too beautiful to put it to wo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ords!

i like her authenticity, craziness and confidence

This never gets old. The entire album is so alive.

This woman is so fucking great. I've forgotten how great this album is.

It's rare to find an album where every song is a gem but Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is that album. I was mesmerized, blown away, and hooked.

Polly Jean ROCKS! "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea " is an EPIC piece of work!

this album came out 20 years ago... still one I go back to time and time again. some powerful self-discovery feelings.

As every year passes, I realise just how much I missed out on by not paying attention to artists like PJ Harvey at the time. This is a great song from an even greater artist. As music converges to a beige blandness, artists like PJ Harvey show us that there's so much more music can be.

I’d give anything to bring the world back to the year 2000. What an incredible time it was

This is almost a cross between About A Girl and Dancing Barefoot.

Threw my bad fortune Off the top of A tall building I'd rather done it with you Your boy's smile Five in the morning Looked into your eyes And I was really in love In Chinatown Hungover You showed me Just what I could do Talking about Time travel And the meaning And just what it was worth [Chorus] And I feel like some bird of paradise My bad fortune slipping away And I feel the innocence of a child Everybody's got something good to say [Verse 2] Things I once thought Unbelievable In my life Have all taken place When we walked through Little Italy I saw my reflection Come right off your face I paint pictures To remember You're too beautiful To put into words Like a gypsy You dance in circles All around me And all over the world Chorus] And I feel like some bird of paradise My bad fortune slipping away And I feel the innocence of a child Everybody's got something good to say And I feel like some bird of paradise My bad fortune slipping away And I feel the innocence of a child Everybody's got something good to say [Outro] So I take my Good fortune And I fantasize Of our leaving Like some modern day Gypsy landslide Like some modern day Like some modern day Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde On the run again On the run again On the run again On the run again On the run again

Love the way she says Little Italy

this song reminds me of places that I have never been to & feelings I have never felt

PJ Harvey is so beautiful. A outstanding video.

Cant hear this without tearing up, my wife loved her. We startedas roommates,id just gotten out of prison. She was going to see her but had nobody to go with but had no problem going to a show by herself. I went with her and got 2 better tickets from a scalper. Had a blast and fell halfway in love with her that night. She died in 2019.

This lady is in total control of everything.............

All of her videos are just her dancing around in a simple location and it works every time.

PJ Harvey is criminally underrated and she should be in the hall of fame!

when I listen to this song, I feel like everything is possible... :)

This album means so much to me as in April 2010 I suffered a brain haemorrhage. I lost eight months of memory pre haemorrhage and went to Dorset with a new girlfriend I didn't even know I had only a week before I got ill. I brought this album as a compromise as she wasn't really a fan of my eighties punk music collection, I remember listening to it on the way down there and when I was listening to it on my iPod in hospital could remember every song off it......

When this album came out, I didn’t appreciate its brilliance as I was preoccupied taking care of my wife as she was battling breast cancer. Fast forward to 2003-04, this album became my salvation after she lost her battle. Like others have stated, there isn’t a song to skip on the album.

"And I feel like a bird of paradise, my bad fortune slipping away...." Love it!!!! :-)

I wish Pj, Bjork, and Tori Amos would start going on tours again like they used to...

You can tell she felt beautiful while shooting this video :)

She has gotten more and more gorgeous as the years go by. Amazing. One of the most unique voices and sensibilities in rock.

I don't think I've ever seen a musician or any public figure with such a high concentration of positive comments. “Everybody's got something good to say”

17 y.o me is really happy to see her live, 36 y.o me is SO glad that had happened ❤️

And I feel the innocence of a child...everybody's got something good to say

How wondrous when the lyrics reflect what is actually happening in your life. And how bittersweet that the feeling never quite lasts long enough. Amazing song.

how does she make swinging a handbdag look so cool?

In my humble opinion PJ Harvey ranks alongside only Kate Bush and David Bowie as the UK's best ever solo singer songwriters. So strange she hasn't had the huge success of those two because she's just as talented, attractive and uber cool.

I love her acting in her music videos, the dance moves she does in "Down By The Water" and "Send His Love To Me" are mesmerising

I love how her instrumentals especially the guitars compliment her singing and don't cover it up unlike most pop commercial songs. They are also quite simple yet intriguing.

Love both Polly and her music very much. Love how the black dress they scripted for her to wear in the video matches her black hair too. She's truly one of a very kind. One of the very best musicians in the world.

Gosh. The soundtrack of my life in early 2000.

A real and true Artist, something You don't see anymore nowadays. I hope She comes to Southamerica..

This woman is a goddess!!! She has been a HUGE inspiration to me since I discovered her when I was 13...love everything she's ever done. xoxoxo Quynbi

I remember just graduating from school and felt like I was watching what deep inside I always wanted to do. She wasn't posing a meanie/badass attitude as many artists back then, just goofing around and having fun with some awesome background electric chords in a cool black dress and boots. I found her so honest with herself. Since then she's one of my maximum muses alongside Björk.

She looks amazing in this video, this song seems to be simple but it has power.

She's so talented

Every time I hear her I'm impressed.

This song makes feel like how I remember spending my 20s in the aught. Free, excited, alive after dark. Now almost 40, in a job I hate, tired and asleep before 9pm. Songs like these help manage through the life of comprise as depicted in the film Broken Flowers. ❤🐐

I adore the energy of this tune so so much.

The way she is twirling the purse. Love this song.

She’s really happy here! I wish I had this experience in my life. But I’m happy 😃 for her, she’s such a true artist. Good for you Polly Jean, may you stay forever young.

This video exemplifies so many reasons why I like PJ Harvey.

Still an awesome tune. I love the start where she walks out of the doorway, then turns like she has changed her mind and is going back in, then continues on her way.

Hysterical beauty

One of the best female British artists, who doesn't get the airtime she deserves....

Absolutely brilliant. Vibrant and in your face - in a good way.

I got into PJ Harvey starting a few months ago, and she really is amazing, there isn’t anyone in the music industry like her

I love this song reminds me of the night life going bar hopping, late restaurants, and fun

Probably one of the best vocalists and songwriters of the 1990s. I do recall hearing this over 20 years ago and cranking it way up! the entire album this is from is a masterpiece imho.

The feeling of being in love perfectly encapsulated in three minutes and nineteen seconds 💗

This album is a masterpiece.

Top artist and singer. If she was performing during 60's or 70's she would be a woodstock legend! Thank you for your nice music Miss Harvey

How many times have I watched this now?

She’s a mood 🔥

Great song by PJ, really love her vocal phrasing and looking so gorgeous in this one.

“Everybody’s got somebody good to say” ♥️

Such a terrific song from a great artist! Jo Wiley show Radio 2 just played this on her evening show, in fact it's featured all week on the vinyl revival slot!!

I hava a big crush on her. I love her so much.

Good God the memories this song brings me is priceless I was just becoming a person when this banger came out

Has it really been 16 years? I love this album this song is taken from. Still as fresh!

Your boy's smile , five in the morning, looked into your eyes and I was really in love...

I wanna live my best life like she is in this video

Probably this will be nostalgic some day

I woke up with this album on my mind this morning! Still SO GOOD!

A song that sends shivers down my back❤❤

My god!. That's one of the most captivating videos I've ever seen.

So sad, beautiful and happy all at once in words and music - this mix makes it a great song.

Every single song on this album is a gem. Polly, you are amazing.

She certainly belongs with Radiohead, Beck, Jack White and Bjork as the most important musical creators of the last 25 years. How refreshing and inspiring to see these magnificent geniuses continue to be uncompromisingly brilliant and successful in an age where American Idol cookie-cutter manufactures, Disney princesses gone bad and flavor-of-the-month hip hop artists dominate the music scene and the internet.

I first saw this on rage in 2000 ( the time my own "bad fortune" consumed me and stuck with me for the next 18 years) now I watch this again a lifetime later as my "bad fortune does in fact slip away... and forever. I can't believe how Miss Harvey pens lyrics that relate to and change other people's lives and I thank you eternally PJ

Love PJ harvey.talent and class.❤

How does she keep swinging that bag and nothing falls out, talk about great skills, Love PJ Harvey

Such nostalgia. I can’t explain the feeling what I felt during my age when this came out.

1:31 LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEEE

Personally I think this was her best album. I know nowadays people prefer Let England Shake, but Stories from the City Stories from the Sea was by far the more superior album

Every time I hear a PJ song I feel like I felt decades ago in art school... free and full of life! Thanks PJ!!!

This song has been stuck in my head all evening, brilliant.

This woman is a goddess! Her music is so powerful! Love her!💖

Friday night, just finished work and going to my best friends to unwind! This always and will always play in my ears as I walked to their place. Hehe 🥰 PJ is my #1

Almost twenty years ago i was 15 and fell in love with Polly Jean. Watching this vid on the telly, when Stories was released, it hooked me til' today. What a great artist.

that song gives me energy to live...

My bad fortune, is sllipin away. I love that

Her smile is contagious

Her voice 💕

She rocks in every shape and form.....awesome.....

I forgot how much I loved this album at the time, hidden somewhere in my big box of CD's that haven't been played in years. I need to go find it and give it a proper listen again before I die.

So.... I just bumped into this after.... about 15 years! I used to hear this song on a music show when I was younger, but never knew who the artiste was. Then randomly, I've been sampling PJ's music and bam, I bump into this song.

She's so beautiful and her music is amazing!❤

Love her voice

This album was so prophetic in 2000

How have I never seen this before? It's so awesome to see her so positively giddy!

They say rock n roll will never die but their have been times when it has been on life supports with over thirty years of generations of kids listening to rap crap. The rap onslot continues but people like PJ Harvey are leading the way and keeping rock alive! Rock on PJ!!!
