Finally escaped an 8 year long abusive relationship and was dancing to this song with my infant in my moms livingroom. She came up and held us as I sobbed. My mom died a few months later but that was the safest I had felt in almost a decade. This song brings me so much comfort❤
❤
I'm so sorry for any of the pain you have had to feel, including the passing of your precious Mom, but I hope whatever you can gather to yourself from this new found peace it lasts you for forever Avery in this second part and new beginning of your life! All the best to you and your Daughter!
Yeah, opening a unlocked door can be tricky.
I'm so happy you had time to make that important memory and that your mum could leave knowing that you and your baby are safe. Best of luck.
I hope memory isn't lost in the afterlife I really want to remember this one
Same
Just hope you'll be reborn when old fashion internet still exists :)
I think of this often. If ive lost memory before and will when I die what is the point? I want to carry what ive learned
Remember what it was like before you were born?...no.that’s the way it is after you’re dead.
As the initiates of the mysteries are taught, remember to drink from Mnemosyne, and not Lethe.
My dad, when i lived with him as a twenty something but didn't quite connect, used to sing along to this when I'd play it... I remember him singing along outside my closed door where he sat in his living room, as a way to try to connect with me. Makes me miss him.
:'( I'm sure he misses you, too. Music does that to people, especially music like this.
daydrmnation Sorry for your loss.
daydrmnation thats fucking sad, yet beautiful, but I can relate so much. So much.
feel ya
This makes me so sad. :(
Heard this on The Strangers movie. Haven't stopped listening to it since 2008. Always will be an unknown legend. Played it to my 2 year old with our nice headphones. Her eyes got huge and she reached out and grabbed my thumb and held on tight for the whole song. Now she keeps singing "Should we go outside?" The lyric "The difference between the sprout and the bean is a golden ring, it is a twisted string" will always make me think of me (the bean) and her ( the sprout).
That’s so sweet 🥺
This is so touching, and also made me cry - what a lovely story
That’s beautiful. I began putting headphones on my belly when I was pregnant with my first son. Today, they are 29 and 30. They are both accomplished musicians. Music and music education will do a LOT for a child in every way. Please get your baby some piano lessons! It’s expensive and time consuming, but I don’t regret sacrificing anything for what they have now. Good luck and I hope God blesses you both.
Es sind Stromkabel aus denen ich Ringe drehe. WELCOME TO MY WORLD. HALO
Beautiful story. 😭
The look in her eyes. It's like she's falling madly in love with that harp. I love it.
Can't blame her!
Got the same feels
Yes, love the moment at :43 when she rests her head sorta lovingly against the harp plucking that high snippet, like that bit is satisfying to play
The fact that Andy Samberg loves this woman and is so enamored with her talent makes me love him all that more as well, because real recognizes real.
Seeing it in person is just magic.
She's a fabulous harpist, very complex difficult rhythms that she plays and sings on top of that, and we as harpists can attest to her talent, she's also a fabulous writer of lyrics
Saw her live whe i was four and wished her a HB
Best day of my life seening her at the opra house.
She’s not just a fabulous lyricist. No one writes better lyrics than her in the English language. No one is even remotely close.
@@gavinyuangao4366she is great and unbelievably talented but that is an insane statement.
It’s true tho. I did a presentation on her lyrics in a college English literature class and the sheer amount of references, the diverse imagery and the complex rhymes she threads through her lyrics literally outshone many of the 18th and 19th century poems we were reading in that class. No other contemporary songwriters can write lyrics that can be put side by side with Keats, and Shelley and not pale in comparison. @@natedyton61
The fact that this isn’t on Spotify absolutely devastates my soul
Only person I’ve genuinely considered buying all the albums of just because of how brilliant she is
It's a huge disappointment that I can't add this song to my "Hits" playlist on Spotify.
@@marclaillet7958 I have her "The Milk-Eyed Mender" album on CD. It's just a shame that a lot of people will miss out on her music because they can't discover it on streaming services.
Spotify for main stream and sound cloud for the rest
@@danielstoddart pretty short sighted on her part, imo. She’s not hurting Spotify or teaching them a lesson by keeping her music off their app. She’s hurting everyone who can’t listen to her music or find her for the first time.
Literally it goes like this:
1st Listen - “Huh... what is that voice!?”
2nd Listen - “Oh, OK... that’s interesting, hear how she constructs the piece, repeats themes, uses interweaving time signatures etc”.
3rd Listen - “Aha, this really is quite different and quite beautiful.”
4th Listen - “Holy fucking shitballs, she’s actually the most talented and free-spirited composer since Kate Bush, and may be a genuine genius!”
👍
Joanna has altready achieved much higher musical pathos than both Kate Bush and Bjork. She stands on the shoulders of Joni Mitchell, maybe.
@@velhacega Some way to go before she surpasses Kate, just my opinion.
@ToeJ Yea, try Kate again. Seriously. Until you've heard it all it's hard to judge. And if you don't like some of it, you won't have heard it all.
If you like Kate Bush I highly recommend you to listen to Weyes Blood work, specially her last album Titanic Rising
Very fond of Joanna Newson but not even remotely in touching distance of Kate Bush.
I’m kinda sad she almost never had more music videos like this, I know Joanna could serve us some of the best visuals we’d ever see. But this one here embodies everything her music is, and it suits her so well.
I know for a fact that the good intentions paving co. music video got cancelled for some reason. It completely exists and there are snippets of it floating around but the record company just wont release it.
whenever she says "should we go outside/should we break some bread/are you interested" i feel like i'm about to cry, she is so much for this world
My late friend loved this song. It makes me think about how when he was born his mom planted a tree for him but it died shortly after, and then it makes me think about how he died way too soon
May he rest in peace
Used to listen to this religiously when I was in active addiction. I don’t use anymore but still come back to this song, it’s such a comfort.
i used to listen to this album end to end hundreds of times just to soothe my anxiety years ago, i just wish she would change her mind and move to Spotify because i miss her in my rotation.
Hope you are doing fine now!
feels like childhood. reminds me of the bleakness of autumn and winter, and watching animated movies in high school french class. like standing on a gray shore, dull weather, waves gently lapping, just before it reaches waist-high grass
Omg did we live the same life!??
ah, guess you're a writer too
This song reminds me of walking through a big empty house decorated with antiques with only the soft light of the late afternoon sun illuminating the rooms through the blinds
I think she and Bjork would get along really well. I would love to see them sing and compose together.
I just discovered her. She's really precious.
They have met. Joanna has opened for Bjork at a festival years ago. Bjork is a huge fan of Joanna and has been spotted attending her concerts pretty much every time Joanna has toured.
Joanna's husband said Björk and Joanna are friends.
I'm crying @@juli3836
I hear Kate Bush in there sometimes well
In sixth grade I had my science teacher play this in class. Everybody thought it was so weird and didn’t like it. I knew they wouldn’t, but at least they heard a masterpiece of a song.
Showoff
I'm major geeking, but she's wearing vintage Gunne Sax the whole video. It makes me happy.
+A BC Why don't you?
+A BC oh piss off
I was about to say I like how she dresses: )
beautiful clothes
Casey McDeshen she is totally wearing gunne sax!! Good eye.
Protect Joanna Newsom at all costs
you mean: protect her in 2000s? XD
I heard this in the strangers and thought it was some old ass 50’s record like WTF I didn’t know people even still knew how to create music Ike this, so organic
Randy Kern same here, I thought it was something like 70s soft rock. I’m so happy people still have some originality and creativity when it comes to music 😊
I went back over that movie till I figured out the hook for this. Finally found it on RUclips. This been years back. But it still has a place n my soul that will never leave.
I thought the same thing! I heard it in the movie and thought it was an old kids record that belonged to James when he was little or something lol.
Same here, like I searched for this as soon as this played in the movie!!! Her voice is very intriguing.
Not even just that, In the movie she was listening to the song on a vinal record. So that right there automatically made it feel like old vibes.
Absolutely love her music!!! I was 22 I was presented with this cd and I listened to it every day at the time. Now I’m 36 laying in my bed after a long day of work followed by a shower thinking to myself “I miss that voice and music, I wonder if she’s on RUclips because my cd is long gone. Now here I am with a smile on my face writing in the comment section. Beautiful music❤️
All of her music is on Tidal. She refuses to put it on Spotify.
@@ethancharles2189 it's on apple music too!
@Evil Dan she has several reasons for not liking Spotify, but her most prominent complaint is Spotify doesn't pay out nearly as much as the other streaming services do. She considers them basically stealing from the artist because they make huge profits while the artist makes so little.
sweet ❤
This was my phone alarm for 3 years through university. A lovely way to wake up. Highly recommend. 👍
my dad used to put on this album and open all the doors of the house in the summer. i hear it and I’m five again
I thought hearing this again would be bittersweet after no longer speaking with the person who introduced me to her music, but there is something so peaceful about this 🥲
her voice is so unique
Funny, Nancy Cartwright who did Bart also did Ralph Wiggum, but I always thought that Newsom sounded like Lisa.
She reminds me of one half of CocoRosie
The doctor said my nose wouldn't bleed so much if i just kept my finger outta there
@@chrisbanes omg, i thought the exact same, such a unique innocent-sounding voice and i thought I've never heard another voice that sounds like it. my first thought was cocorosie when i heard it in the strangers, but i could tell it was another artist.
The Harp is an instrument that is so majestic. Love this song.
I'm in-ter-es-ted
Saw her live many moons ago. She is actually VERY funny. Not surprised she married a comedian, she could have told jokes the entire show and killed it. Brings back so many memories, one of the most beautiful shows I ever went to. What a unique and beautiful spirit.
When I found out she’s married to Andy Samberg I was shocked but delighted lol
i can't believe this came out over 10 years ago
14 years now... could it really be? But then again: Nowadays, Joanna is no longer the sort of singer you'd picture sitting in a tree wearing rural clothing. She turned into something much more universal and her music is so incredibly versatile and eclectic, offering so much divesity from album to album and from song to song - a symphony orchestra... and a banjo ("Emily"), reinaissance instrumentation ("Kingfisher") or a philosophical, yet heartbreakingly emotional bona fide pop ballad* that still has a lot more in common with "Stairway to Heaven" than with "My Heart Will Go On" ("Time, As a Symptom") - and that's not even scratching the surface...
*yes, I call it "pop" because the song is actually based around variations on a simple five-note motif, a simple, pleasant chord progression, no shifting polyrhythms or odd time signatures. It's just so expansive you'd never notice
My favorite song came out over 25 years ago it's called growing older get used to it asshole 😆😆😆
The first time I heard this song not knowing who Newsom was I assumed it had come out far longer ago but when I learned it came out in 2004 or so I was blown away.
Kylo Ren you must be fun at parties
I can't believe this comment was made eight years ago
I blinked and its been 20 years since this came out. I was SO obsessed with this song and album. I still know every note and word.
It will forever remind me of The Strangers 😳😳😳
Keinbernd agreed so fucking lame that movie is the definition of abortion
Considering it is the birth of home invasion horror movies, it's a classic compare to all of your shit you get nowadays.
That's how i learned of her music...
good film
are you sure @Loanshark1234
A totally magical song. You assume that she belongs in the room where she is playing the harp, but she instantly vanishes when the song is done and you realize you have witnessed something special
This song and video while coming up on three tabs of acid was literally one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. I literally wept.
Heeeeeeyyyy! Cool seeing you here!
❤️🌸☮️
I’ve been meaning to listen to this on acid but I’m afraid it’d make me sad
I am high on weed rn. I am alive.
that sounds fucking beautiful
This song is so beautiful, I didn't think it was a song to contain so much innocence and charm, but yet such chilling subject matter.
Swifty Nottz No kidding! I was heartbroken when I found out. It made the song that much more compelling and meaningful.
what is the song about?
cates abortion
To play the gorgeous overlapping melodies she does and then sing so effortlessly on top of it, how anyone could deny her talent is beyond my level of comprehension. Easily one of the most remarkable musicians alive today.
and just paragraphs of lyrics
"Should we go outside? This hits hard in quarantine i wanna be free outside
This is like listening to a painting.? Beautiful...
Every year around this time I listen to this song. It is my perpetual theme song for Spring.
I am in heaven with this song....Aaaaaah gorgeous
Crazy how ‘the strangers’ made this sound so creepy. This song hits.
I need this on Spotify. Thank you Strangers Chapter 1.
Honestly any Joanna newsom songs. I want her in my rotation.
This is from The Stranger (2008)
@@anarky_jay I only know it because of Chapter 1. I was young when watching the original, so I don't recall hearing it.
@@devenvernazza2579 I watched it at the cinema today and didn't realize this song was there
Breathtaking and magical. The harp reminds me a lot of the Coraline soundtrack. It would be so wonderful to see a collaboration between Joanna and Aurora, they both have a distinctly ethereal sound.
I know right. It feels the exact same!
Coraline came to my mind as well 😊
This masterpiece makes me cry every time I listen to it and I don't know why?
One of the most beautiful and fascinating songs I’ve ever heard in my 43 year old life.
I want to live in this song. It sounds like sleeping under the sunlight during winter.
this is so beautiful I want to cry
Her voice has a very soothing, calming feel to it. Almost as if a small child is singing from a grown woman’s body
I know! and her speaking voice is completely average :)
This video includes animation by the talented Brendan Wenzel, who is now a full-time illustrator and children's book artist. I remember when they made this video back in 2004. I wish someone would post up a HD copy.....
misterX1964 neat!!!
When I was living in Brooklyn this would always come on after Saturday Night Live on local TV. Funny thing is she’s married to a former cast member now. But she’s from Nevada City which is close to where I grew up. This song spoke to me in 2004, it was like the soundtrack of my life at the time.
For me, this album is a masterpiece. Far more economical use of language than her later albums. But here's what I've noticed about Joanna Newsom fans, their first album tends to be their favourite.
Milk-Eyed Mender was my first but Have One On Me is my favorite!
Ys is most people favourite.
I used to dislike her voice,but now I appreciate it.
Last night I put on my Sufjan playlist too fall asleep and at 1:40 in the morning I woke up to this song, never heard it before but what a blessing it is that Apple Music just keeps playing similar songs after the playlist is over
there's something so soothing about this song. I heard it in The Strangers and it was such a perfect fit, so haunting. But now I know it as a soothing song as well.
I remember this song in "strangers"
This song is me as a little boy playing in a window sill. Discovering books for the first time. Playing with insects in summer. Climbing a tree.
Atron 3000 you could also imagine this playing in like an Insidious or Conjuring movie while the demon climbs out the closet
We need another album, Joanna... PLEEEEASE
my mom has been playing this song for me since i was little and i’ve loved it ever since. i’m going to be turning 18 soon and i’m thinking my first tattoo will be the bird from the beginning of the video. this song means a lot to me and has always been my favorite :)
That's so sweet🥺😍
My names saidy because of the same reason. (Trans. )
This is a masterpiece. The music, the clip, her. Just wow
This album used to be my family holiday album on the way to Wales to go camping. Sat in the back seat reading Darren Shan Vampire saga and listening to my step mum n dad and glimpsing the countryside expand.
Tens de ouvir "A Saga de um Vaqueiro"! Tens de levar lencinhos para as lágrimas!
Someone commented but I cannot see who it is??
Fell in love with Joanna's music from the first time I heard it. Someone who could use "antediluvian" in their lyric was instantly my hero. I think this video brilliantly captures her deep creative spirit, highlighting the sarcasm of the lyric where she says "shallow work is the work that I do".
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. I listen to it whenever i get the chance because for some reason this is my mom and i’s song and just listening to it makes me think of her
This reminds me of Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, beautiful film, beautiful Joanna
HEARD THIS IN THE STRANGERS AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TO FIND IT. HAUNTING AND BEAUTIFUL SONG I LOVE IT
The harp seems like the most difficult stringed instrument. Boggles my mind that she wrote this. Amazing.
i remember my 6th grade teacher would always play this song for us. everyone hated it but slowly it started growing on me. now it’s such a nostalgic song for me.
my choir director introduced me to this. i didn't like it at first, but a year later i absolutely love it. there's nothing quite like it. ❤️
just found this, almost so special i cant listen to it too much.
still going to
real@@jasminnimsaj44
1:20 I love this part
This makes me think of my mom :) what a beautiful woman, what a beautiful voice. I’d sing this on all the rooftops in the world if I could.
I'll sing it with ya
This touches such a tender and hurt place in my heart.
Dam! You should get some help!
Thanks, Nathaniel. 😂
This makes me sad and happy at the same time
First World Problems that, my friend, is called melancholy
I love a harpists technique! The way their fingers are positioned and move!
Love. Love. Love. Remember this song from my teens. Always a memory. I love this vinyl!
So much love for this song and artist
I first heard Joanna Newsom over 15 years ago and I'm just as moved as I am today. I love her.
Props all round, great singing, song writing, video, clothing, videography and yet so deceptively simple!
AMAZING! UNBELIEVABLY beautiful!
I love this song so much. We need more Joanna in our lives!!
This is so calming
This song is so relaxing and calms me, i love it so much!
so beautiful it makes my spine tingle
This is such a beautiful and pure song. Love it.
Heard this song on 120 minutes, an afternight program on Mtv that aired really good lesser known songs. It is truly a blessing to come across with such beauty ! Love from Perú.
Her voice is amazing. I love it.
I love this song. Her voice is amazing and her harp skills are killer!
Thank you soooo much The Strangers for introduce me to this amazing and so talented artist 😍
Her harp playing is just sublime :)
her voice
Really a Masterpiece. Millions thanks to them who made this Masterpiece and gave it to us 👏👏👏
This song continues to give me shivers every time I listen to it
So beautiful.
Goodness.. where has this been my whole life?? Gorgeous
I forgot how much this one makes me shiver while resting the mind.
1. The Strangers is one of my favorite horror movies!
2. Can we please bring up how cute that chalk board animation is?!
this song plays in my head whenever I wake up from long depression sleeps
That is beautiful.
Oh my God. This song is perfect.
The best song 😍
To me: the most beautiful and gentle voice ever and this is coming from someone who enjoys heavy metal so yeah...
One of the most beautiful songs and videos of all time
Always so magical. Always takes me…
I feel warm. Happy. But sad at the same time?
