Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing.

I've always felt that I'm affected by the world, by the way we treat each other, by the way different countries treat each other. I've always been very affected by politics, society, but I never got to a place as a writer where I felt like I could begin to deal with such things and do it well.

I've been so used to being supported by musicians, and I don't class myself as a particularly adept musician on instruments. I think I'm a songwriter.

The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
PJ Harvey
Image
I feel like it's very important that I'm doing what I'm doing, and I want to keep honoring that and try and do it as honestly as I can.
PJ Harvey

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

Obviously, the emotions I want to convey through music are streamed through the way I interpret life.
