So, this is a comment I posted in response to a thread on a PJ Harvey fan page online. The comment was important enough to me, that I thought I'd post it here.

Okay, so.. I am going to put this in my blog, so I remember. Apparently this post made me emotional.
I definitely have questions about her output from time to time. I think there are many ways for a person to evolve, and in some ways I feel I am waiting on her. (This is kind of a personal issue though.) But I do like the variety of work she has put out throughout her career. I like the loud stuff, and the lighter stuff. I do like the lyrics she has written from her early work through to her more recent work. I feel like Orlam was kind of brave and I do like it. But at times she scares me, and I don’t know what to think. I guess I am just waiting for her.
I like the variety of instruments she has played with. And I don’t mind that her voice has changed from the lower register blues and aggressive stuff. I think it all sounds good. I think White Chalk is beautiful and is one of my favorite albums. I really, really love some of that old fun demos sounding b-side stuff though. I will always love those. It will be fun when I can afford the box set and listen to it.
I am excited if I ever to get to really find out what Hope Six Demolition Project was really about. There’s something about it that is a little bit absent to me. Like something is missing, and lacked communicating something maybe that was there and didn’t get through. At least not totally to me..
But I also have not seen a dog called money. I think it was not available in the states as far as I understand?..
I am eager to hear the new album and hope I will not be disappointed. I do hope I get to meet her one day. She has been such a big influence to me and my songwriting.
Thanks for reading my long, sappy post.
