I have long been fascinated by the spacecraft and its journey, and asked myself what it might say to us if it could? This was an inspiring route to take to develop the song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe song had already started life as part of the ongoing work towards my new album, so when Professor Brian Cox invited me to write a piece for his new show, I sent him the voice memo of this song to see if it resonated. It immediately made him think of the Voyager craft and the sound of its signal being sent back to Earth. With these ideas as my starting point, I let the song develop, and discussed an orchestral accompaniment with Dario Marianelli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy with the end result, and it\u2019s wonderful to hear the orchestral score bring such expansiveness to my music. I thoroughly enjoyed researching the history and journey of Voyager 1 and 2, and was glad to be able to quote the great Carl Sagan within the song, and his famous description of our fragile and beautiful \u2018pale blue dot\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last year saw <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/nick-cave-pj-harvey-devo-and-more-featured-on-los-angeles-rising-wildfire-relief-benefit-compilation-album-3835608\">Harvey appear on the \u2018Los Angeles Rising\u2019 wildfire relief benefit compilation<\/a>\u00a0album alongside\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Nick-Cave\">Nick Cave<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Devo\">Devo<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Gary-Numan\">Gary Numan<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/Primal-Scream\">Primal Scream<\/a>\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/radiohead-sam-fender-dua-lipa-and-more-lead-artist-call-for-government-to-keep-pledge-on-secondary-ticket-price-cap-3908063\">Harvey also joined a host of artists last November in calling on the UK government<\/a>\u00a0to uphold its\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/uk-government-price-cap-ticket-touts-secondary-dynamic-consultation-chris-bryant-interview-3827671\">previous pledge to put a cap on secondary ticket prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Her last album 2023\u2019s\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/album\/pj-harvey-i-inside-the-old-year-dying-review-3465062\">\u2018I Inside The Old Year Dying\u2019<\/a>\u00a0scored a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/album\/pj-harvey-i-inside-the-old-year-dying-review-3465062\">four-star review\u00a0<\/a>from <em>NME<\/em>, which read: \u201c\u2018I think the album is about searching, looking\u2026 and seeking meaning,\u2019\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/pj-harvey-announces-new-album-with-enchanting-single-a-childs-question-august-pre-order-listen-3435730\">Harvey said.<\/a>\u00a0While the meaning part is sometimes tough to decipher \u2013 far more so than her previous work \u2013 it\u2019s not the answer here that\u2019s important but the journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt takes a little time to immerse yourself in Harvey\u2019s world, but once there, you won\u2019t want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('consent', 'revoke');\n  fbq('init', '370979561341328');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.nme.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PJ Harvey has shared her new single \u2018Voyager\u2019.
