One more thing I wanted to write about this song: this is very much Dresden Dolls-like, which is a good thing.

Joanna on the piano rocks. Really.

Really! I am going to have to search out their stuff then. Thankyou!

cannot wait for this album. cannot wait 2 months to see her in concert. was this the extent of what she performed? will esame and baby birch be on this album?

[cloudedsunny]

Umm no idea! Sorry. There is a set list somewhere online but the concert right before in Brisbane it was a different set list...so maybe she mixes it up a lot.

[cloudedsunny]

Thanks guys I updated it :)

The only other artist I can successfully compare her to is Picasso. She knows, really knows, what she's doing. She takes the accepted sounds in music and systematically tears them down, just as the painter did with portraiture.

Is this the night in Sydney when Arcade Fire met her up and they went to a karaokebar and sang Creedence Clearwater Revival-songs? (according to interview in Uncut)

I didn't say Joanna Newsom and the Dresden Dolls are the same thing.

I simply wrote that this song reminds me of the Dresden Dolls, and this is what I said after I watched this video for the very first time (the album wasn't even out back then).

However, I still think this song is not too far from the Dresden Dolls' style.

Drums+Piano: just that.

@daniglue urgh how can you compare them?

[kopperspock]

I love how she screws her mouth up to get those words out in that beautifully poetic way. The lady is truly one of a kind, a bespoke angel, never meant for mass-production :).

@onegcds

good. You won 4 golden coins.

Enjoy.

[onegcds]

@daniglue I Dont see the comparison. This is way better.

[onegcds]

LIKE IT BUT DAMN! HOLD IT STEADY NEXT TIME!

this is what I've written the first time I watched this video on YouTube, when the studio version was not released yet and when I didn't "get" the song yet.

The studio version is a different thing.

Everybody needs to broaden its own musical horizons.

I own 800+ CD (not mp3, but cd) and I'll keep listening to different music.

Thankd for the advice, but it wasn't necessary.

And, by the way, Dresden Dolls are not too far from this.

Two words: Anachro-Pop
