this is the most important song of the last 10 years.

This was the first Joanna Newsom song I listened to. I remember my friend putting it on the record player, and how we just lay on his bed, listening, not saying anything through the entire song. It was such a beautiful experience.

She has been my favorite musician since then.

This music is magical as if formed around the same time the first star came to life in our galaxy and as been alive ever since kinda rolling and meandering along. It is the music and her voice combined in this song that makes it special. There is not any other music out there that I know of like this. Jethro Tull has done a little bit kinda like this. That is the only other I know of.

All I want is someone to lay in the ground with me at night to watch the stars while listening the whole album Ys! That would be the most beautiful 56min ever!

"You stopped by,I was all alive.In my doorway we shucked and jived"

I melt at this quote.Shucked-to peel off or remove clothing.Jive is to engage in meaningless talk.I interpreted it that way,considering how human her music feels.Its just a matter of throwing yourself into the "moving fire" :)

@illumiere I had one of these experiences with a friend on a car ride around at night. It was the single most intensely beautiful experience I ever had gracing my spirit in music with someone else at the same time. Beautiful.

This is especially good to hear outdoors, just as I'm doing now, it makes the world around you seem to brim with magic. Its a southern Saturday afternoon, summer's over, its an easy warm temperture, stray cats are curled around my feet, stuffed & sleepy, everything's bright yellow except for the shadows cast by the rose bushes in the garden I'm in. Everyone's left for the day but me, I'm here on my oak porch in the breeze smelling fresh cut grass, writing stories and only her sound in my ears.

@LyddieTheJester I hadn't thought of that at all before but I totally see Bjork now that you mentioned it. At least for this work, she's still experimenting so she can be seen sporting a different sound here and there sometimes. For instance The Sprout and the Bean could sound more like Stina Nordenstam.

It is really interesting listening at this, it looks like those poems with syllables without a meaning of words but with a meaning in sound. I think this it is a metasong, I mean a song inside a song. My respect to a truly artist.

[LyddieTheJester]

For some reason I am slightly reminded of Bjork in her voice, but I am in love with the lyrics, and backing to this.

5:35-5:50 gives me goosebumps every single time.
