OK so I was listening to the leaked songs and while I was reading the last interview you guys posted, where PJ said that she was prusuing Seamus since 2008 to work with him because she thinks that Seamus work is what she tries to do with music in LES

So I entered Seamus website http://seamusmurphy.com/#/Stories/Darkness%20Visible/1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and started to scroll through the stories (photo albums) while listen the leaks and, somehow, in a strange way, you really get the idea of what PJ is talking about, then I watched the videos again (you know Rose and Words) and somewho, they quite make sense after watcing Seamus work and listening the leaks

I can' quite describe it but there's a true connection, you guys shoud try it

Seamus photography is amazing

^ Absolutely agree. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these images projected on the stage backdrop during the upcoming tour.

Don't forget to turn on captions on Seamus' website using the "(i) caption" button at the bottom of the page. Those are very powerful images. I think "What if I take my problem to the United Nations?" isn't there in jest as a throw away line.

I recognized at least one of the images there used very briefly in the TWTMM video.

Edit: These's some interesting comments by Seamus on the videos here:

Yes! And 'The Last Living Rose' is too.
Wiggins is so superbly unassuming, he looks like he's about to say 'Pop the gold medal in the post, I'm nipping out for some biscuits'

Yes, karloz. I think one image can trigger lots of other images in some people's minds. I think lots of things are connected in a way that don't seem apparent at first. I find Polly's direction for this album intriguing and very interesting. She is one of the least overtly political songwriters around, then she comes along with this! But some people do say everything in life is political in some way.

Long interview with Seamus Murphy here:

This song is unbelievably addictive! i' ve been listening to it for the whole last day and i'm listening today all the time! 2:58 to 3:18 is one of the most catchy melodies Polly ever written and her voice is amazing.

Does anybody have the lyrics?

I also want to ask if it is true that Polly & Seamus Murphy did the videos to to ALL of the songs from LES? If so, how many of them are available right now? 2?

I was just about to post literally this. :lol: her voice on the united nations bit, I could listen to it on loop for days!! I'm totally addicted to all the songs we've had so far. :)
