Joanna Newsom - Emily, clip (live in glasgow)

[onegcds]

WHY DIDNT YOU RECORD THE WHOLE SONG??? I dont care if its 12 min long! You dropped the ball!

[Saesangism]

Now this is what I would have liked to see. Her performance in Sweden was awful.

[whichtitch]

@Saesangism no!

[setht246]

kissm e

[Vakant]

wow i wish i had the chance to see her live with a full orchestra

great clip

[weekendxwars]

Love the song. It kind of reminds me of a Neil Young song but I cannot recall which...

[concray]

you do realize that fact and opinion are two different things?

[NatJane18xx]

Joanna and the orchestra just love it, the songs on the Ys album give me goosebumps :)

[bubblegumprincess22]

@NatJane18xx Same here! Amazing album..beautiful. :)!!

[thenerocomplex]

fantastic. one critique -- why did you record the orchestra getting in tune? that could've been a couple more minutes of 'emily'.

[smellslikechildren1]

I understand you didn't want to record all of it, but you could have recorded /some./

[CerebralJam]

I attended this that night... , and she was awesome... love the city halls too... so glad you got even a little bit of it. :D

[stevensartifacts]

DAMNIT

MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[PrisonersofWoW]

Actually on this performance, some parts here and there, reminded me of Tori Amos in style.

Again no comparison, as they are both unique but beautiful like peaches and pears.

[PrisonersofWoW]

Cannot compare. The only thing they share in common is their absolute uniqueness, which is beauty in itself. Joanna writes, composes and performs with a Harp. <3

[PureScorpio23]

she sounds kind of like bjork

[SrNetsWalker]

Please! don't compare she with Björk pleeeeeeease : )

[BridgetownBajan]

shivers down my spine!

[SolidusLiquid]

Have you even heard Ys?

Part of the magic of the entire album is the orchestral element, and is what made that album different from Milk-Eyed Mender, Walnut Whales, and Yarn and Glue.

I agree, I love her solo performance, but calling the violin pick and cello performances rubbish....well...

by the way, she wrote all those parts

[kd5txo]

I'm sure that all involved are excellent musicians.... I'm not about disrespecting their work. I'm just saying that I prefer Joanna Newsom solo.

[misscleo3861]

I think Van Dyke Parks is actually responsible for the orchestrations on Ys

[mossimo654]

uh no... that was van dyke parks.

[FCPaufUror]

i acutally agree. don't know why stupids rated your post so bad

[drplbiftin]

"I wasn't gonna record the whole thing cos its flippin 12 mins long." Well that just sucks.

[Tonyinrosnemex]

This song is so amazing in the studio. Amazing. I wish I could see her live with full orchestra.

[54spiritedwill54]

Excellent work on recording this one too man..

[tweetybn18]

can anyone please tell me if she orchestrated it herself?

[freekorps]

van dyke parks wrote the arrangements based on her own harp arrangement

[mkindar13]

@freekorps How funny. I was reminded of the Inara George album he collaborated with her on while listening to this album

[michaelschell]

...and she did back and forth with him on the material he submitted. Spoken more in sentiment I'm told than notation.

[michaelschell]

and she did back and forth with him. Spoken more in sentiment than notation I'm to believe.

[thexrayteam]

I was there, it rocked. the lights stayed like that the whole time so it was a tad sterile tho.

[Relievingdeath]

fucking awesome dude. i am very envious of you. i'm going to see her at the royal albert hall on the 28th sept but every live performance i see just blows me away. well done.

[squirtgunrobbery]

if only you had the full song.

but oh well.

i wish i could see her with an orchestra,

it's like a production.

it'd be an honor. =]

[sjamesvfx]

don't listen to those fools.. thanks so much for the video!

I wish I could have seen her with an orchestra... mind you I saw her with her band in a church, so it was just as good!

thanks again.

[sleepinspring]

why did you post only 56 seconds of music dude? what a let down

[freekorps]

not as much of a let down as the video on your profile, which serves no purpose whatsoever. 24 seconds of nothing. i figure its better than nothing

[erikisPSYCHO]

@freekorps Now THATS how you pwn a bitch! *highfive*

[0deevil]

Probably because you don't go to a live concert to watch the entire thing on the tiny screen on the back of your camera... fucking idiot.

[michaelcrowe]

Thanks for posting!!!

[RazielCuts]

Why did you record a minute of tuning?..

[freekorps]

cos thats alls i got

[toona]

Yeah. That's what I want to know.

[DavidBookless]

they didnt turn on the balcony speakers till about half way through this song.

[graf3000]

I found the barefoot percussionist strangely sexy.

[kimonomywasabi]

I think he's hot too! haha!

[robbmcaulay]

He looks about 12

[photek420]

Excellent work on recording this one too man..

[tchipping]

I cried during this, on the night. I don't think anyone saw though!

[beachog]

I nearly did too but I was on the balcony so I think my eyes were too busy squinting to make tears. It was stunning. Thanks freekorps. =}

[bjork4ever]

Great performance! Thanks for posting. :-D
