i was driving home today in a mass of heavy traffic, insomnia ridden for the last 4 days and this song playing in my car ... and for the first time i was struck with its power and beauty - the search for meaning.

[downwithrostow]

a critique of modernism?

[RickesRives]

This makes me SO, SO SAD. Bad memories here. But for some strange reason, I can't stop listening to it. Love you, Joanna.

[danceswithanxiety]

Beautiful. "I wait, while I decry the wait." I think it's a yearning for a clean break from adolescence to whatever comes after it -- finality? destiny? maturity? "Adulthood"? At the same time there's a reluctance to let go.

[GamegirlColour]

Joanna Newsom's music brings goosebumps to my body.

@JediJonas007 Me too. Nice to know strangers feel the same way.

[JediJonas007]

"Is it harder to carry on, or know when you are done?" Thats just beautiful...I dont know why, but it really just struck a chord with me

@uneventom I think a lot of them do read poetry. I certainly do. Then, I think, other fans get their 'dose' of poetry from Joanna Newsom (:

[uneventom]

I get the impression that Joanna Newsom fans don't read poetry but would be much enriched if they did.

[aldemaropensiero]

you could listen to this a million times. It's always like the first time, it never sounds the same.

[patysraty]

przejebanie nudne to jest.

[Daztents]

Channeling Joni Joni Joni. So good.

[yaya50704]
