Wasn't me in the audience unfortunately, lol. First saw this about 15 years ago and it blew me away. Massive harp, tiny elfin like girl, tremendous playing, passionate vocals with those awesome squeaks and fantastic story telling with strange lyrics. For me it all fits together perfectly.
Definitely fits!
Same, love her!!!
My wife and I were lucky enough to see this tour, at the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern, Cleveland, Ohio on November 10, 2006. She played a few songs from her first album, and then played the "Ys" album in its entirety. She absolutely blew the crowd away, and the album wasn't even out yet. The songs were so long, I wasn't sure if I was hearing two songs or one song. I consider Joanna one of the greatest lyricists of her generation, and given the emphasis on the harp, one of the most unique musicians of her generation. Thank your for the reaction.
Thanks for sharing Tim, Joanna is definitely one for the playlist!
Amazing! I love this! It’s folksy but ethereal. Thank you to whoever suggested this.
Glad you enjoyed!
Joanna Newsom is a songwriter, composer, and lyricist from Nevada City, California who plays harp and piano, and sings. She is married to comedian/actor Andy Samberg, they have a daughter together. Newsom has released 4 studio albums and a live EP since 2004.
Her first album, the Milk Eyed Mender (2004), showcases her signature approach to harp, which combines West African polyrhythms and Appalachian folk chords and motifs.
Her second album, Ys (2006), is a collection of 5 songs written by Newsom and orchestrated by Van Dyke Parks. These songs span between 7 and 17 minutes, featuring literary lyrics, both intellectual and emotional (often within the same line). Although this record employs allegories, fable motifs, and impressionistic dream scenes, it is highly autobiographical, memorializing a single year of her life marked by personal accomplishment, tragedy, and loss.
Have One on Me (2010), her third LP, is a triple disc collection of songs that embody the best of her work. They range from soulful to folksy, incorporating elements of Bulgarian music, jazz, ragtime, rhythm & blues, Laurel Canyon-style folk music, and baroque styles. Less abstract than elements of the previous record, this album deals heavily in themes of love, loss, lawlessness, and intoxication.
Divers (2015), is a song cycle that spans 11 interconnected tracks, meditating on themes of love and mortality. Some say this is her most accessible work to date, featuring her visionary production and mixing skills, on top of her landmark songwriting. Newsom plays a range of instruments in addition to piano and harp, coloring a unique soundscape for each song. The first track features orchestration by Nico Muhly, the final track was arranged by David Longstreth, and the title track was produced, arranged, and performed entirely by Newsom herself.
Thanks for the info Eric!
This is a treat! The only other great harpist I know named himself after the instrument and was a mute. Her voice is great too. Reminds me of Iris Dement. A bit eerie but very unique!
Indeed! Nice new profile pic btw!
@@SightAfterDark Big Robert Crumb fan
If you like harp in non-classical music I would suggest checking Out Dorothy Ashby and also Alice Coltrane. Some really interesting Jazz Harp stuff. Hard for a woman in Jazz to get much notice in those days, but both were excellent artists.
What a beautiful voice! The song hit me on an emotional level that I didn’t expect. Is this representative of her work in general? Cuz I like it.
The album this is from, "Ys" is similar throughout in it's story telling and her singing and playing. Later, she suffered from vocal cord nodules which affected and changed her voice somewhat.
Just listen to all of Ys and her new stuff.
she was classically trained on the harp and is also a very good pianist. She's also done films. One really good one was called "Inherent vice" where she appeared and narrated. Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon were among the actors in that also. She's a really talented lady.
She seems like it!
Damn, gotta get on your patreon so I can get you guys to do some more Joanna Newsom. For only having like four albums she has a pretty incredible and diverse body of work that is surprisingly accessible. Her lyrics are so literary and she’s such an ethereal presence in her music and even in her interviews, and I remember her saying she didn’t watch TV growing up, so it was a bit demystifying when I learned she had married Andy Samberg. Artists are people too, I guess.
☺️they probably balance each other out. Looking forward to you suggestions David, thanks!
Where I got my name! :) 07:39
👍
So where is that damnable bell?
@@giuliariguete9199 in my ears
I've never heard anything like that before. Wow! And she did freak the shit outta that Sifa
Yeah!
if you want to hear a joanna's song with multi-instrumental arrangement i highly recomend the songs "cosmia" and "Monkey & Bear", from the same album (Ys). they're on this concert too! Ys is such a masterpiece, produced by legends like Van dyke parks (beach boys) and Steve Albini (nirvana, pj harvey)
Thanks Giulia!
I watched a beautiful harp player years ago at a very rich folk wedding that we were forced to attend due to my wife being connected. I was mesmerized until this woman sat behind us that had one of those voice box things like Ned from South Park. We didn't know until she started yammering through it while the girl was playing. We couldn't stop laughing. Everytime I see a harp, I'm back at that wedding laughing my balls off.
LOL
I am a Joanna Newsom fan, but her voice and phrasing are acquired tastes for many.
As an aside, she has been married to Andy Samberg since 2013.
Woah! Didn’t know that!
I'm just glad that artists like Newsom still get some attention. If everyone had to fit themselves into a Rock category to get a recording contract it would be a lesser world. The Internet has helped in keeping music more diverse - that much I can say.
We agree!
Aaaaaaaaahhhhh why would u do the live version??? Theres no clarity in the mix to hear the STUNNING arrangement :((
We’re sure our patrons will suggest more of Joanna’s in studio material in the future!
Pretty cool. I lost a lengthier comment when my laptop shut down. Never having heard someone sing and play it simultaneously. Miking choices, fragile but determined vocal, love the repetitive motifs growing more elaborate and insistent.
Harpo Marx was my first introduction to seeing and hearing the instrument too.
Great stuff
Do you know Jonathan Richman's great song "When Harpo Played His Harp"? ua-cam.com/video/--XTa93dqzo/v-deo.html
@@An_Cat_Dubh I didn't; I'm listening now. Thank you.
Her vocals, lyrics, and musicianship destroy any person or band out there!
You guys don't know Joanna, really? I mean she's only considered one of the best musicians of the past couple decades. That "screeching" you're talking about are vocal inflictions that she doesn't actually control, so no she cannot do one less. Also after this tour, she got vocal nodules and stuff and lost a lot of the special characteristics to her singing and had to change the way she sings, so unfortunately those sounds no longer come out of her to the disappointment of her longtime fans.
She is married to Andy Samberg. She is absolutely brilliant. She was homeschooled I believe. Listen to “ Sapokanikan” That is a better song to hear her for the first time.
Oh wow!
I don’t think she was home schooled. She gave an interview with Marc Maron where she talked about how she is able to compartmentalize her writing because she had to go to high school and fit in when she was spending all her free time playing the harp and her summers going to Shakespeare camps. She said she had a friend call her out on this because they’d been hanging out regularly during the writing and recording of Divers and Joanna never mentioned anything in it to her, she just talked about regular things and not death, impermanence, history, etc
Yes. So glad you react to Joanna Newsom and not to Madonna $h!t. So glad.
Please watch her live on piano with "Soft As Chalk" at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Two years ago I've got addicted and still am.

Thanks Ross!
Hey man, there's room on this earth for Madonna as well as Joanna Newsom. While I adore the latter, particularly this album Ys, I love Madonna too. Some fantastic records, especially in the middle of her career.
Tad wordy
Therein lies the charm. Song has traditionally been used to convey stories. You see much the same here. It's a complex story full of complex emotions. Not everything is "I love this woman" or "I just broke up with my man". This song is a reflection on the ephemeral nature of life after Joanna lost the child she was carrying in the womb while in an untenable relationship that she foresaw the innevitable end to. No easy way of putting those emotions into a 4 minute song, don't you think?
