[fakie]

Great voice, beautiful lyrics. Beautiful song.

[RickesRives]

I don't get how people can not like her voice.

[theusernameiwant]

10 dislikes; wtf?

[ScapeALot]

I remember seeing this on an advert promoting the UK mobile phone network Orange. This was like was 5-6 years ago. The memories <3 JN <3

[16520516]

@ScapeALot That's where I first heard it too. I used one of these sites that tell you what music is used on adverts to find out who it was, and bought the album that night. I loved it.

[Bigassrobot]

I've been listening to this song all night and it's depressing me. So beautiful.

[thecityaso]

i like the way of music and her sing !

[agirlfromsneads]

It's from the Album Milk-Eyed Mender. Just letting everyone know!

[tambourinechick]

She said my name! <3 *swoon

[mrspacman0dontripit]

Oh God, she's beautiful...

[clevery96]

oh... i think i just became lesbian...

[spkenn36]

@clevery96 Well Im a gay man but Id turn for her!

[pikopikochuu]

i'm really glad artists like this exist today...

[ashleyjeanislove]

Her voice is haunting. I love it.

[fordman100309]

Truly Inspiring...

I've had the pleasure of meeting her and she is a very sweet spirited and honest young woman...

[fordman100309]

Truly Inspiring...



[interstates]

people like her (and courtney love and the like) give me hope for people to be successful even though they do not have what you would consider conventionally pretty voices.

[shareen83]

we have artists like this who write thier own music, sing their own music without "help" from computers and play actual instruments...and yet all that's on the radio is justin bieber, miley cyrus and usher. wish there was a station for real music!

[neverbeen2]

@shareen83 lucky to have bbc6 music radio .heard marc riley play this today :)

[neverbeen2]

@shareen83 lucky to have bbc6 music radio .heard marc riley play this today :)

find it online :)

[LauraVelasquezV]

Peacefull

[100helenjames]

Magical song!

[3Storm]

I feel like this one is slower. Jeeze this song can turn the Hulk into Bruce Banner

[televisewhatyouwant]

Makes me sway 'til I sleep in a foetal position

[gribae]

With shit like eminem, kelly clarkson and all the other idol-fucked contestants flooding the radio waves, most people today have no ear for unique styles in music. Joanna, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, The Shins, AIR, Leonard Cohen = top stuff.

[StarvingForTruth]

@gribae

i like those guys you do, but i like eminem too. the man has talent.

[ClassicRockGuy4]

@gribae You mentioned AIR in your comment. You, sir, have good taste. :)

[nelson3300]

her bangs kill me :)

[RedToTheMasses]

This woman is a lyricist beyond gifted. What an amazing singer and writer.

[bendaonlyman]

I love this song !

[bendaonlyman]

I love this!

[NotYourTube0]

definitely not haunting it is innocent and warm and a glove...

makes me think of ferris wheels and paper boats.

[TheSparkle7]

i heard this song in a advert at the cinema im sure, the advert was sumthin to do with a blackout in new york anyone know wot im talking about?

[Aldeni1551]

@TheSparkle7 Yeah, that's where I heard this song too.

[TheSparkle7]

found advert it was for orange moblies

[coolfrd16]

@TheSparkle7 It is an orange (phone company) advert :) just google joanna newsom orange advert

[CaptainMandrake2001]

Yeah that's the orange advert. Just a reminder to turn your phones off, but who's paying attention to the advert when you've got Joanna?

[fouramhq]

Haunting.........

[gag75]

shes an angel. <3

[LOCOboiz]

cant stop listening to this song

[MrJekyll1]

Love this song and version!!

[LOCOboiz]

is there another version?

[passer59]

This is the original version, from the privately-produced EP. She re-recorded it for Milk-Eyed Mender, with some added steel guitar backing.

[BWilliamsAA7237]

if I met a girl who liked Joanna Newsome as much as I do I'd be good to go

[humblehyena132]

well, hello. :P

[KariPogue]

@BWilliamsAA7237

Yes! I wish I could share her w some one aswell :)

[justforthesparks]

@BWilliamsAA7237 I DO

[ZuckerwatteimKopf]

@BWilliamsAA7237 :-) you are not alone

[theone10203040]

@BWilliamsAA7237 too bad im not a girl

[Treeefingers]

@BWilliamsAA7237 She's taken :)

[Scout191919]

@BWilliamsAA7237 When I discovered her on a commercial I showed everyone I know, but all I get is the same shit people online say.....

[BWilliamsAA7237]

she blew my mind again! this chick is unstoppable

[Palafico3]

she's sweet, pretty, and a beautiful harpist and singer. she's one of a kind.

[Hedonist2K]

It's not a piano she is playing but a harp.

[PlushBlondeBus]

on this its an electric piano

[PirateEjaculate]

Her voice grinds and rips. It's beautiful.

[LostSubsForever]

Just :)

[CommanderVolframm]

She sounds and looks about twelve, truth be told.

[nelson3300]

she totally looks her age now... she is gorgeous and charming!

[cannedpotato]

I guess that means I'm a pedo because I totally fancy her! :-p

[annelisedugas]

the first like "svetlana sucks lemons" actually gives me this crazy synesthesic feeling of actually tasting lemons just from the way it sounds.. what an artiste

[rokstrlvn]

épica

[smitty8812]

beautiful

[MandiPants08]

I want this song played at my funeral...so beautiful

[initword1]

lol I understand why but lol, I wanna hear this when I'm dead!

I want this at my wedding or something happy

[Maddymw4]

I love the way that she sings as if nobodies listening, just straight from the heart, singing for herself.

[Hathor2006]

Singing for pretentious people who are trying to be oh so alternative. If she auditioned for BGT she'd get three X's immediately.

[HaoProductions3]

your so right. people never credit originality

[Hathor2006]

I can't remember the name of the duo, but it was a classic female duo, on keybooard and violin. The judges on that show just didn't get it and said it didn't go together. I thought otherwise. They asked the violinist to come back on her own.

[HaoProductions3]

thats terrible! All people are looking for is people like David Archuleta who have no talent

[Hathor2006]

Agreed. It's really sad that not more room for originality on that show. I mean my goodness, they had some contestant on there that whistled threw her nose. That person shouldn't have even gotten past the original audition. But it's probably all just for "entertainment" so they can have guests to make fun of. Sad that people put themselves threw that just for 2 minutes of fame.

[Czechmate1967]

Because the Chav monkeys that watch and judge britain's got Talent know something? No.

[xxModwolfxx]

It's lucky then that no one actually takes Britain's Got Talent seriously, eh?

[Hathor2006]

Well, except for the Brits ;)

[xxModwolfxx]

Oi! I'm British and I resent that!

We're not all slaves to whatever money making scheme Simon Cowell thinks up...!

[passer59]

Now, now, Hathor! BGT is apparently a very good programme; I know somebody who watched an episode once.....by mistake! Nosewhistling, eh? Can't believe Simon Cowell passed up such a golden commercial opportunity!

I've been watching the X Factor auditions; Ms Newsom wouldn't have got through though - she ain't "pop", and has genuine talent.

[Yunbot]

Lovely! :D

[xxModwolfxx]

Does anyone have the piano music for this? I'd love to learn to play it.

[nathancurran1989]

brillant song probably the most chillded outsong ive ever heard, reminds me of wakestock festival last year chilling with my mates in the sun shine .....

[Darkchylde7]

I really like this ong, but other songs I've heard of hers make me wince. Very hit and miss for me but I can understand why people like her.

[LucusStalley]

makes me feel, sleeepy and relaxed :)

[duke347]

beautiful :-)

[tattoolaedy18]

sweet, pretty song...makes me miss my baby on the other side of the blue...

[livrae888]

amazing.

her songs bring me to tears sometimes.

[StarvingForTruth]

i'm so in love with that woman!

[dimagogos]

brilliant.

[nblumer]

Finally something original and talented out there- best new sound since the Cranberries! THnx Newsom - for keeping music alive.

[gretchyisadinosaur]

[lrgrjg]

[raveboob]

xxx

[calvynevans]

ERRR.....Piano?

[simmo303]

On a cd "Milk-eyed mender". Best track.

[passer59]

Erm... Whatever you say.

[peik1976]

yeah, it´s this kind of wurlitzer harp, that comes in a box with black & white keys

[xstevenxpowellx]

yeeah it's like an electric piano sound

[nblumer]

LOL Now now Dont be hard on wilkommen - afterall there are a number of other videos on Youtube with her playing this same song on the harp. It does very much sound like her group diverted to another instrument for this song and the effect is successful.

[teknofatcat]

HARPSICHORD

[lolcatcatlol]

Protip: She's also a pianist

[blackdog978]

Wonderful!

[iloveericlyons]

brilliant

[MullerHeart]

Amazing lyrics. Great song. Faultless.
