  • One of my favorites on the album. Those runs on the harp, kora and tambura are just so beautiful--it's an almost Ravel-esque sound they're producing. ♥ Joanna

  • @HillaryClinton My favorite as well. Joanna Newsom is the perfect artist for someone who completely understands music, someone who likes to pick apart lyrics, and someone who knows emotion's relationship with music. Those artists are nearly impossible to find these days which is why she is so mystifying. She has the ability to surprise and enchant those who are literate, those who are musically inclined and everything in between. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

  • "And though I die, Magpie, this I bequeath: By any other name a Jay is still Blue." She referring to the Magpie and Blue Jay birds. The Magpie finds a mate and stays with her while a Blue Jay mates many and stays alone. She's saying that she's the Magpie and he's the Blue Jay. :C WHO HURT YOU, JOANNA? WHO HURT YOU?!?!?!

  • It's funny 'cause most of Joanna's songs are sad, -at least most of them are sad for me, including this one- but you can't stop listening to them.

  • I have never seen such a terrible room gilded with the gold teeth of the women who loved you.

  • so as she's spinning a web to catch me when i'm super sensitive and cracked.brilliantly emotional.

  • @tlrmcknnn astounded by your statement

  • Wolf-spider, crouch in your funnel nest If I knew you, once, now I know you less In the sinking sand, where we've come to rest Have I had a hand in your loneliness

    HOLY SHIT! PERFECT!

  • Joanna Newsom > Everyone else.

  • @HillaryClinton Hello, Hillary Clinton.

  • "When you leave me alone in this old palace of yours, it starts to get to me."

    my god, the imagery in this song is insane.

  • Broke my young heart.
