it was a longshot. i’ve always loved pj harvey and her music and when i heard she was coming to brazil the day after my birthday… i couldn’t believe it. i mean, it was too good to be true. then the papers all confirmed it, it was tim festival 2004 and yes, she would be there. i took a plane to sao paulo but only believed it was true when i saw her. it was probably the best concert i’ve ever been to, with a spectacular track list and an amazing energy.

i don’t think i’d be lucky enough to see her again, but if i could, i’d go in a heartbeat. unmissable.
