It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent. Therefore I keep reaching for instruments I don't particularly know how to play, and then I become excited. That gives me energy to want to make new things, and it forces me to hear things in new ways, which then can only help to say things in a new way.
PJ HarveyI work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.
PJ HarveyI am someone that follows the news and reads newspapers yet what do you believe and what don't you.
PJ HarveyI'm finding that writing poetry is strengthening my songwriting, because you're learning to make a piece of writing work on a page with nothing else. I was also finding within poetry I felt a lot more free to write about very different matters, to write about social issues or things that are going on around me.
