see PJ Harvey live

without really realising… and for free! yipee!

so they won’t.

Captivating.

Tomorrow night I get to witness this beautiful creative genius from the 8th row (seated). I’ve waited 8 years for this~!!!!

Hrmmm, very 8-centric!

Month to gooooo!

Achieving this is only a matter of time. I never thought I would get this opportunity. I’m very lucky.

I did not get a presale ticket which I kind of regret now but I wasn’t totally sure about going (WHY? I’ve ALREADY MISSED HER 2x?? & was so upset…)

But today tickets went on sale for her gig in February 08 in Auckland & I am in the 8TH row from the stage. When I realised this I got shivers!!!

I’ve loved PJ for years. I love her creativity, she’s very inspiring. So now something I’ve wanted for years but thought would not happen is & I am super glad that I am seeing her at a venue NOT at a festival as her previous shows here have mostly been (aside from a very small show she did on the side)

I think particularly with her current direction, an indoors venue is muchly more suited.

How very exciting!
Have to book flights now I guess!

Her with Thom York in this song gives me chills…
SHE’S just hot.

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.

seeing her playing live was a groundbreaking experience. I’ve never before felt so connected with someone’s music like in her concert. :~

i’ve always wanted to see her. ever since i bought is this desire? i’ve been so enamored by her. her voice is so raw, and her lyrics are so unique, makes me feel like i’m listening to a daydream. there’s something about her personality (or rather, the personality of her music, since i haven’t met her) that i feel like i can relate to, so much that i really feel like myself when i put her music on.

i failed at seeing her live last year. i even had a ticket, and i totally could have gone. circumstances turned against me, however. yeah, i had an exam the next morning, but i was still determined to go. then there was a snow storm, and i was still dying to go but feeling jaded and depressed. then rohit and i got into a fight, one of those huge fights we had in which i tried to tell him how fucked up it was how he was treating me, but the fights always just ended up with me crying, and him feeling really awful and concerned but not quite understanding what he was doing wrong. and i was really depressed anyway, and i’m sure it would have been good for my mental health to just hop on the train to manhattan and see pj harvey, but i didn’t.
