    She has such a baroque intensity on her face that you can't help but be mesmerized. She fully understands the theatricality of a performance. She doesn't just sing her song but she lives it. She also seems to understand music cinematically as if each song is to play a character in an imaginary movie only she can portray. She's always in character and she wants you to know it. Major talent.

    Her and Joanna Newsom. . . I love them. I’ve only ever really wanted to see Joanna Newsom perform live and luckily I was blessed to see and meet her in Chicago a few years ago. I’m going to see Aldous Harding in New Orleans in October at Gasa Gasa. She’s the only other one I’ve felt the urge to see.

    When a performer really inhabits a song in this way, you get a disturbingly intense view of the person. To lose your 'self' in this way is a powerful and dangerous way to work and few can manage it.

      Totally. It's funny because I watched this a year ago and came back to the comments to see if anyone recognized that. My theory (just a theory) is that she's performing each song in the exact mindset and head-space she was in at the time of writing it. Or even further down the rabbit hole, she's embodying a character or personality trait she has in order to write a song, then reverts back to "them" when performing it. What do you think? Perhaps it's more along the lines of what you mentioned, to make each word and note it's own performance/emotion it's self...which in that case, if true, would make my head explode 😂

    Wooo. I love her album and then this ... She gets you down as the songs get you high. Fascinating as it seems she's sacrificing her image just for the songs themselves. in 2017, in the selfie civilization, this is more subversive than telling 100 "fuck" a minute.
