Joanna Newsom - Monkey and Bear

[HangWire2]

Two years later and I still love this video. It's like she's performing an exorcism!

[HangWire2]

is there a good quality boot of this version somewhere? Rock!

[annalee26]

I wish she would come to Florida.

I am probably the biggest Joanna Newsom fan ever.

Die hard, for life, and all that crazy shit.

I could start a religion :D

[spurious]

Her voice completely ruins it for me.

[McManatee]

that seems completely backwards. Joanna's voice is half the experience for me.

[spurious]

Then what you perceive as pleasant or fantastic, or whatever adjective you'd use to describe her voice, I perceive as tripe.

Let's leave it at that.

[OMGthatwasTEAL]

if you read the lyrics to this song it is like your reading a story. beautiful voice!

[willydawalrus]

i was at this show and it was one of my favorite memories ever thank you sosososos much for posting this!!!!!!!!!

[beav7]

I am madly in love with this woman. She puts me in a trance.

[benjy1975]

Ditto, the guy who said he couldn't like her any more.

Cant take my ears or eyes off this amazing creature...

[delorasfarewell]

oooh, this is a very nice version of this song! thanks for posting!

[vedraville]

Anyway I love it!Do you know if it becomes a video?

[vedraville]

Some of you are talking about transforms etc.What's the different?Maybe you mean the organs that listen much more loud.This performance is great and I like the loud sound of the other instruments.I'd like this to be a video(official).

the drumming is completely different and brought to the front of the arrangement. I don't even remember the banjo from the CD version, definitely not in the capacity it enjoys here. Plus the backing vocals are totally crazy on this clip.

[EllllIOT]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa I was there *

(thank you)

[bjork4ever]

I think the live version of this song is better than the album version. Thanks for posting! <3

[BUnitLives]

I love how it just transforms at 25 seconds into it.

[beav7]

I get chills every time every time I hear this. I hope to God she does a show near me soon.

[evolvedFrom]

omg. this arrangement ishes all over the album. i didn't think i could like her any more.

[wbarco]

i prefer this arrangement to the one on the album.

[pinkfan24]

wow, was that necessary?

[stignasty]

Wow, this is horrible.

[thatgirlinthehat]

this is really good stuff! i think you have a great taste in music :)

gutted i'm gonna miss her in january because of big scary exams :(
