§ Joanna Newsom - Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie - FULL COVER - §

this song is so manly. especially that 'feels so good to be a rose' part. you can smell the testosterone.

That means no
Where i come from
I am cold, out waiting for the day to come

I chew my lips
And i scratch my nose
Feels so good to be a rose

Oh don't
Don't you lift me up
Like i'm that shy no-no-no-no-no, just give it up

See, there are bats all dissolving in a row
Into the wishy-washy dark that can't let go

I cannot let go
So i thank the lord
And i thank his sword
Though it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored

Oh oh oh, morning
Without warning
Like a hole
Oh, and i watch you go

There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly
And some great bellies ache with many bumblebees
And they sting so terribly

I do as i please
Now i'm on my knees
Your skin is something that i stir into my tea
And i am watching you
And you are starry, starry, starry

(and you will never
Ever know how
Very sorry you will be
... I am)

And i'm tumbling down
And i check a frown
Well just look around
That's why i love this town
To see me;
Serenaded hourly
Celebrated sourly
Dedicated dourly

Waltzing with the open sea
Clam, crab, cockle, cowrie
Will you just look at me!

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

This is one of her best songs and I really like your cover. Sounds like love.

[MissAlyss]

This is excellent!!! Can you tab it out for me? I know another version, but I think I prefer yours.

Cheers.

[Buelligan88]

Can't stand Joanna Newsom's performances or voice, but this cover is very good.

[freshekdyo]

good job man 

[AmorBravo]

Good one man. good humor too.

[billyjoelbitch]

This is a great cover

what chords are you using to play this?

[alexaquite]

Gah. I have listened to this cover so many times.

I actually put it on my friend's mix because she doesn't like Joanna, and this is probs the next best thing next to the original, which is saying a lot (I really usually cannot stand youtube covers.)

Good job, man. I love it.

(Don't worry, I gave you attribution on the mix. xD ...Don't be creeped out, ahaha.)

[happysappy21]

oooh, i'm liking this!

[richfatsanta]

Your voice carries the song perfectly and isn't overcome with any special guitar, perfect mix. Now we just have to make this the songs kids sing around campfires eh.

[rlhearne25]

love love love love loveeeeeeeee!!!

[maqboy]

this was the first time i've watched a whole video, of a cover of a song i like

[normanthepig]

This is a really good cover of this song. when I tried it, I just sounded loud and yodel-y. This is like a blues rock version, which is awesome.

Well done, dude.
