Joanna's a true artist. Fuck you Joanna... I love her... She can give me boner while I cry from her songs and then goosebumps all at a time, and much more than that...
@MrBeesknees95 both of her last records are incredibly beautiful.. I would say Y's. it's a very condensed album and it took me awhile to interpret the lyrics but I can say that I felt in love with all the feelings that are involved into it..
@Oracle428 Everyone really does need to see these lyrics written down like this. When you're just listening to Ms Newsom the art is so rhythmic & hypnotic that you don't always break down every individual line... you just start dreaming. Also b/c when she writes she makes literally every sentence its own seperate poem, sometimes we're so focused on one line that we might miss the one next to it. You really just have to take out one passage lke this & examine. You'll never fail to find magic.
I definitely don't have a favorite Joanna Newsom song.. I think Sadie is pretty important for The Milk-Eyed Mender. Ys is all gold except Cosmia is not as good as the others. Monkey and Bear is the most different and exciting and is so important, but Sawdust and Diamonds, Only Skin, and Emily are all weighty as hell. I am in love with Have One On Me. In California and the namesake are probably best, but that's just ignoring all amazing songs: Baby Birch, Good Intentions, On A Good Day, Esme....
@gildedfryingpan, this intrigues me because Cosmia amazes me. It's funny how what doesn't sound good to one person can be so important to another. I guess it has something to do with past experiences and what each person values aesthetically.
@beautifulpyre no....cosmia is just the weakest lyrically and jerkiness about the vocals going with the tempo of the song. I love all of her songs though. I'm her biggest fan. OH but the harp is very pretty in Cosmia. I was actually listening to it last night.
@CompulsiveDesigns Most of the prog bands you mentioned don't have songs with lyrics that span the entirety. They usually have instrumental breaks. Most, if not all, of Joanna's songs don't do that and manage to avoid using repeating choruses throughout.
Oh well, as a matter of fact this song isn't through-composed whatsoever and thus DOES have a classic strophic song-structure of verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse etc. only that the parts composed of verse and pre-chorus(es) are each about four minutes in length ;)

The ending of this song (from 11:10) is completely breathtaking. I just can stop listening, I think I could jus die listening to this.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever written:
That the meteorite is the source of the light.
And the meteor's just what we see.
And the meteoroid is a stone thats devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee.
And the meteorite's just what causes the light.
And the metoer's how it's perceived.
And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee.

12 minutes isn't hard to do...
