Peach, Plum, Pear ( Joanna Newsom harp cover )

Cover of Joanna Newsom's 'Peach, Plum, Pear' on the harp.

Peach, Plum, Pear

We speak in the store
Im a sensitive bore
and youre markedly more
and Im oozing surprise.

But its late in the day
and youre well on your way
what was golden went gray
and Im suddenly shy.

And the gathering floozies
afford to be choosy
and all sneezing darkly
in the dimming divide.

I have read the right books
to interpret your looks
you were knocking me down
with the palm of your eye.

This was unlike the story
it was written to be
I was riding its back
when it used to ride me.

We were galloping manic
to the mouth of the source
we were swallowing panic
in the face of its force.

I was blue and unwell,
made me bolt like a horse.

Now its done.
Watch it go.
Youve changed some.
Water run from the snow.

Am I so dear?
Do I run rare?
Youve changed some:
peach, plum, pear.

These Newsom covers are just wonderful! Would you mind if I used your playing to record myself singing over them? I adore Newsom but unfortunately can not play the harp and your playing is fantastic! =) Keep it up!

[sszreter]

@LovesToSing428 Thank you :)

Go ahead! I love seeing what people do with it :) - send me a link if/when you do :)

[catseatingclouds]

how much does one cost, and where can i get a harp?

[sszreter]

@catseatingclouds It depends on what model you get but they can range from about £3000 to anywhere up to about £15,000 normally... the smaller lever harps are less though... and I got mine from the Salvi harp shop in London.

I don't know about prices or where to buy them outside of the UK really...

[TheMikeybrat]

I'm trying to get into harp and piano lessons, so I sort of envy you for being this good. How long have you been playing? Just curious, I'm wondering how much practice it takes to reach that level.

[sszreter]

@TheMikeybrat I've been playing for about 8 years now.

[katenew30]

Ugh, I love this song so much and you totally did it justice. Sounds amazing. :D

[jaspers22]

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFULL, you play it so perfect, love it so much.

Keep on rocking, please more videos to come.

[ThirdStrikeFilm]

The only thing missing is the applause at the end.

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

This is really good. I did it on piano, but it sounds marvelous on a harp though. Can I put my Joanna covers as a response here?

[annahpanna]
