Joanna's incredible gift of creating such beauty with her voice which communicates emotional depth, vulneralability,and compassion pared with her unique and rare technique & style as harpist can do nothing but engrave her name in volumes reserved only for those who genuinely deserve the honor ....she truly is a breath of fresh air infiltrating our stale, mechanical "noise" in this era; she embraces strength and courage as a woman refusing to become "a cookie-cutter" robotic musician
Has anyone ever thought about the fact that the notes she has always tried to hit with her voice, be it now or then, are not exactly easy notes to hit in rapid succession? I have not fell in love with every piece she has done, but I have a deep respect for her talent! I saw her live in Tampa and she was awesome! I hope to see her live again someday.
@379buzz She is an indeed a wonderfully whimsical artist, and I adore her...but as far as vocal flexibility, she's proficient but it's nothing in the world of bel canto fioratura...listen to Cecilia Bartoli sing a Vivaldi aria! You'll be blown away...
you all seem to be snobbs.fuck her voice.its beautiful,the lyrics are touching as can be.joanna newsome is a cut above.shes not on american idol or the voice.her music is so much more than just her voice.ive never heard any aconvey so powerfully emotions like her thrrogh her voice as unique as it is.
@CEIVE4EVER singing while playing the harp is an incredibly difficult thing to do. it's definitely not like singing and playing something like the piano or guitar at the same time. which would explain the difference in her voice between this song and her other songs.
@FatKidVocals she had vocal nodules, likely brought about by singing with poor technique (and too much). the surgery didn't improve her voice as much as it allowed her to go back to using it (nodules prevent a tight seal from forming between the vocal folds). joanna's voice is fundamentally the same instrument as it was before; she's just better at using it now. though i loved her voice before, she had bad technique, and she admitted as much.
She sounds exactly the same tone wise, its just more controlled and pure and touched up in this recording. but honestly, i dont know what your talking about, she sounds beautiful in every song :)

@CEIVE4EVER She also had some throat surgery which, reportedly, "improved" her voice.
Regardless, she had a beautiful voice before anyways.

If you love Joanna Newsom's music ...check out an album by Kate Bush called ...Never for ever! I often wonder if Kate is Joanna's biggest influence?
