pj harvey - dance on the mountain (unreleased track)

unreleased track that features in the BBC 4's drama " On Kosovo Field" and inspired the narrative
Kalashnikovs were brought across
the mountain on the back of mules
They stored their weapons
in a school
There's something wrong
Something terrifying
Something terrifying
And now the slopes of dry grass
hold crouching boys
watch their fathers dance
Holding hands they follow the drums
Something terrifying is going on
The oldest dancer
takes off his hat
to place a glass of water
on his head
bares his teeth
wakes the dead
this is their land
they dance upon
Something terrifying is going on
Something terrifying
Something terrifying
The dancer falls
to kneel before
the village elder
stains on his shirt
Rising up
growing strong
the boy children
start to dance
It's terrifying
In the distance people call
like a river running home
In the distance people call
like a river calling out
In the distance people call
in the oldest language known
It's terrifying

is really nice to hear this kind of stuffs , because you can see some of polly's creative process and selections she does

[@ziegfeldgirl]

This should have been included in the album.

[@valkyria2734]

This is a masterpiece

[@stud-op8df]

i wonder why this one did not get into 2022 B-Sides Compilation.

[@mindyourbusiness2025]

She probably left it on purpose for her next release of unreleased materials

[@Moody__Mango]

The sound of her voice kinda reminds me a little bit of Björk and Cocorosie

Rather vivid imagery here...one is seeing all as we 'enter the garden of the hurricane's eye. 'John Ciardi for you.
