When I live in my own house someday,I will have a daughter.I will play this song for her,and we shall dance around while making dinner together.Her name,I do not know yet.I will sing her Joanna Newsom songs as lullabies too.

It's been years now since I first heard this piece, and the more I listen to it, the more I realize what a work of genius created it.

I'm glad you like it so much MermaidMidna. :) I guess it's on your iPod now? ;)

[MermaidMidna]

@hermanovitsj Yep! Thanks for putting it up, though! I still find myself coming to youtube to listen! :)

[MermaidMidna]

I had this song stuck in my head all day. It was frustrating because I didn't put it on my iPod yet! As soon as I came home, I listened to it. I think I could listen to this song for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. <3

[Travmann777]

@MermaidMidna you should go to youtube - mp3 .org if you want to put music from youtube on your ipod, it works really well

[SpringSkies]

Colleen = Girl in Irish.

This song seems to entail the plight of all Colleens, or all girls in the world.

My name is Colleen. :)

[hermanovitsj]

@SpringSkies thanks for the info, i didn't know about that. and hi Colleen. :)

[BroadwayBookworm]

WOAH. How amazing is this? Only just discovered the Ys street band EP, so glad I did. Effing awesome. o____o

[Yetuset]

Arrrgh matey!!!!

[lostxlikexalice]

This song is so great live. Everyone in the audience did the yelp with her. I hope she comes out with a live album at some point.

[379buzz]

I hope she plays this in Tampa Nov. 16th!!!!

[elohelreh]

@379buzz DID SHE??? she played it in Baltimore on the 20th. I almost lost it when she did.

[Ishysez]

@elohelreh I was at the Baltimore show, it was amazing. And yes this song was oh so sweet live

[elohelreh]

@Ishysez I love how you just joined youtube (with this id) and you're looking up JN vids. <3 <3 <3

[mramywinehouse]

@Ishysez As was I :) This song was incredibly amazing. As was every song she played.

[superfluousness321]

Beautiful song about feeling like a fish out of water. A chorus of the misplaced. x

[ailoish]

this is an excellent piece of work. Fantasically Vivid.

[chili0beanz]

I really want to figure out the mandolin parts in this song

[mramywinehouse]

One of my favorites of hers :)

[pacocrowley]

Thanks for uploading! But, can you add more tags? like joanna newsom (with space) and colleen, of course ;)

[the1musiclad]

@pacocrowley - Tags aren't necessary for words that are in the title.

[spectrum99122]

It's like listening to something from another world, sung by a little elf princess! Love it.

[mjcee93]

@spectrum99122

this is definitely not what she would want to hear.

[kaini]

that little yelp in the chorus is the sexiest moment in music. as in, like, all of it.

[MrBbb3b]

The first time I ever heard this song (some years ago) I thought the exact same thing. It made my knees buckle.

[colleenity]

@kaini That is... so incredibly correct, good sir (or madam?).

[hermanovitsj]

You're welcome. And I'm glad you do! I buy a lot of music too. :)

[marionhammer]

Yay, studio version on yt ... finally... thank you (just for the record, I'm still one of those peeps that still goes out and actually buys albums, just dig yt uploads for sharing music with my friends) :-)
