feel so lucky to exist on this planet at this same time period as her
Great way to put it. I always say that with my favorite music........ How lucky I am to have been born in the same time frame where people/artists like Joanna, Thom Yorke, Kurt, etc. have all written their music and have been able to experience it.
I say that all the time about her too
If aliens ever consider annihilating us, we'll have to show them Joanna. If that doesn't warrant saving our species, nothing will.
Joanna is definitely an alien though.
yes they would see we have suffered enough.
what a wanker

@@benjaminobrien1801 ~ surely we are better with you as an ally.. please be kind..
How rare it is to find a unique voice and style such as Joanna . A person either "gets it" or they don't.
yep. when i lived with my sister, she didn't let me play Joanna out loud when she was at home. whereas I think she's one of the most extraordinary things to ever happen to modern music
True.
Kinda true but I remember being obsessed with "Milk-Eyed Mender" before I even processed the lyrics were Emily Dickinson caliber. It was a slow realization. Like this song is THAT good, and who knew it the first time.
she always looks off into the distance when she says "waves, which are pawing like dogs", like she sees them. i think that when she sings this, she's surrounded by very particular visions of old memories and imaginings
I can't listen to the "long face" passage of this song without getting choked up. 😭❤❤
Agreed...
I will swallow your sadness, and eat your cold clay
Just to lift your long face
And though it may be madness, I will take to the grave
Your precious little long face
"I will take to the grave your precious little long face"
That's so sad 😞
me too!
@@noradosmith I do not understand the lyrics. Can you please explain? What is sad?
It’s been well over 10 years and this is one of the best musical performances I have ever seen. The studio version doesn’t capture the spell she casts in this video. It’s truly a masterpiece.
There was something in the air that night! Very powerful. We are lucky it was captured so well.
Yeah, I always come back to this performance. Still blows my mind.
She goes so hard
So much fury, anger and strength, expressed in such an unlikely format. shes incredible.
We all talk about how terrible humans are... But humans are also f-ing amazingly complicated, emotional, and spectacular creatures. This video is more proof of that fact.
+Raine Vivian I hope english is not your first language.
+Nibbly Nobbler fuq. you.
You've proven the first part of his statement though.
this is easily one of the greatest live performances i've ever seen and it says something that the video alone transmits an intensity that normally only comes through when i'm there in person.
Same ❤️❤️
This is the weirdest, most captivating and brilliant thing I have ever seen.
I was dancing with my friend to this song when I first realized without a doubt that I was falling for her. We're still in love with each other, but separated by 7000 miles. I can't listen to this song without crying. But I still do because it makes me feel close to her.
TheStonyField this makes the fact that I'm separated from my love by 160 miles pretty tiny by comparison :o
Are you still in love with each other?
@@crackbaby4444 No, I'm a couple heartbreaks on from that relationship and in a much more content one. We haven't spoken in years, but I hope she still thinks of me fondly on balance, as I do of her. Strange how that last verse can still bring a tear to my eye, though. Music like this is so powerful.
I’ve listened to Joanna since I was in high school... 2006/2007... and I just found this version of Sawdust and Diamonds now, in 2021. I have been missing out on this since it was posted in 2011. It’s a gut wrenching version and I can’t stop listening to it on repeat.
i also started listening to her in HS around then. and never stopped really
this song is incredibly difficult to perform live, she nailed it
Yes
Moved to tears. Big 6.1 215 blk guy here.
woah
Well, I’m a short skinny white guy, but we’re all crying here.
talent in every finger, songwriter extraordinaire. 21st century's answer to joni mitchell
!!!!!
exactly
every time i hear the first notes on the harp i start to cry. and i just have so many feelings throughout
Almost a religious experience.
All of her songs are, read the lyrics.
@@coryjohnson6965 it's like Walt Whitman, or something, I don't disagree.
I can't even express what this song means to me. It may be the most beautiful I have ever heard/seen. People close to me give me shit for making them to watch this video. I think it just hasn't hit them yet.
I spent like 7 years trying to make people listen to John Coltrane My Favorite Things Live at Newport '63, just forget it. They don't get it.
She seems almost like crying in the intire song. This gives me a beautiful sentiment, like happy sad. She is truly amazing
Joanna Newsom, Yoko Ono, Kate Bush, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Björk, Maggie Nicols, June Tabor: all women fiercely committed to following their creativity wherever it needs to go - and there's plenty more where they came from. This is wonderful.
Yoko Ono….
when she sang "you make your first incision" it sent shivers down my spine
Every string struck, weeping beauty in sound form. Her every movement and nuance, shocking reminders of how every moment could be. So much love, magic and surrender. Heartbreaking perfection.
I love her, this messenger from our most true being.
I typically don't say this on RUclips but that is well constructed, short breakdown of her music. A tip o' the cap to you, mate. Cheers.
This is the best version of sawdust and diamonds ever, i mean you can see that her voice has changed but it's like she regresses to what her voice was like in Ys. oh it's just so incredible
On the one hand, she looks so sad that it absolutely breaks my heart.
On the other hand, it is so astounding to see how the music absolutely roars through her, spread through the harp like some large lost appendage she couldn't do without. I mean, look from 7:42. It's a part of her. I love how she leans her head against it and becomes enveloped in it, while holding her whole self around it, her arms. I don't know. Somehow, that's the best.
oh so many times I have seen this, it still makes me cry so much. I appreciate her so much, so very much.
From the top of the flight
Of the wide, white stairs
Through the rest of my life
Do you wait for me there?
There's a bell in my ears
There's a wide white roar
Drop a bell down the stairs
Hear it fall forevermore
Drop a bell off of the dock
Blot it out in the sea
Drowning mute as a rock
Sounding mutiny
There's a light in the wings
Hits this system of strings
From the side while they swing
See the wires, the wires, the wires
And the articulation
In our elbows and knees
Makes us buckle as we couple in endless increase
As the audience admires
And the little white dove
Made with love, made with love
Made with glue, and a glove, and some pliers
Swings a low sickle arc
From its perch in the dark
Settle down
Settle down my desire
And the moment I slept I was swept up in a terrible tremor
Though no longer bereft, how I shook and I couldn't remember
Then the furthermost shake drove a murdering stake in
And cleft me right down through my center
And I shouldn't say so, but I know that it was then, or never
Push me back into a tree
Bind my buttons with salt
Fill my long ears with bees
Praying: Please, please, please
Love, you ought not!
No you ought not!
Then the system of strings tugs on the tip of my wings
(Cut from cardboard and old magazines)
Makes me warble and rise like a sparrow
And in the place where I stood, there is a circle of wood
A cord or two, which you chop and you stack in your barrow
It is terribly good to carry water and chop wood
Streaked with soot, heavy booted and wild-eyed
As I crash through the rafters
And the ropes and pulleys trail after
And the holiest belfry burns sky-high
Then the slow lip of fire moves across the prairie with precision
While, somewhere, with your pliers and glue you make your first incision
And in a moment of almost-unbearable vision
Doubled over with the hunger of lions
'Hold me close', cooed the dove
Who was stuffed, now, with sawdust and diamonds
I wanted to say: Why the long face?
Sparrow, perch and play songs of long face
Burro, buck and bray songs of long face!
Sing: I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay
Just to lift your long face
And though it may be madness, I will take to the grave
Your precious longface
And though our bones they may break, and our souls separate
Why the long face?
And though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil
Why the long face?
In the trough of the waves
Which are pawing like dogs
Pitch we, pale-faced and grave
As I write in my log
Then I hear a noise from the hull
Seven days out to sea
And it is the damnable bell!
And it tolls - well, I believe, that it tolls - for me!
It tolls for me!
Though my wrists and my waist seemed so easy to break
Still, my dear, I would have walked you to the very edge of the water
And they will recognise all the lines of your face
In the face of the daughter of the daughter of my daughter
Darling, we will be fine, but what was yours and mine
Appears to be a sandcastle that the gibbering wave takes
But if it's all just the same, then will you say my name
Say my name in the morning, so I know when the wave breaks?
I wasn't born of a whistle or milked from a thistle at twilight
No, I was all horns and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright
So: Enough of this terror
We deserve to know light
And grow evermore lighter and lighter
You would have seen me through
But I could not undo that desire
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh desire
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh desire
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh desire
From the top of the flight
Of the wide, white stairs
Through the rest of my life
Do you wait for me there
OI NAT VOCE POR AQUI

I've heard it before, but I've never seen it. My god. Some music makes you feel happy, some makes you feel sad, or cool, or nostalgic or wistful. This just makes me feel transcendent. I know this song so well and yet every movement comes as a surprise. Thank you for uploading
So powerful
Sometimes pure talent is so very moving, she's such a phenomenon. I'll never forget her live shows in Auckland, NZ, defining moments in my life, I know that sounds over the top, but it's true!
This song. . . . This artist....my god........ It never fails to pierce inside me, even when i don't think it can. Such a perfect potion of Love, Sad & Joy. I honestly liken her ability to write words to Dickenson, Wilde, Keats & Shakespeare. . . . . .
She is without a doubt the most underrated artists, musician of our time. . . . .
It's an honor and gift to have found her.
This song is impossible.
isnt;
@@BrunosCRF Eye opener comment
one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen or heard
this... this is so incredible.. my favorite song on the whole album. she has this face of such pain as she is playing and I know she isn't doing it for views. she's so compassionate.
Come on people. Don't fight on a Joanna video. She's too good for that. If the haters want to stupidly comment on something this beautiful, then let them. At the end of the day, they're the ones missing out on this fantastic music. If they don't have any heartstrings that can be powerfully tugged by Joanna and her songs, then let them fuck off to thier cold little world.
even if you don't like her music or voice, you gotta admit she is so damn interesting and talented. so glad i discovered her music, now she's one of my favorite musical artists
After searching for other places song was played, none of them were quite like this. There is something mystical about this particular live performance that bleeds emotion. I find myself coming back again and again years later. Thank you Joanna, this is truly beautiful.
I don't know why I am crying. but I am
This isn't my favourite Joanna Newsom song, so I wasn't seeking it out, but I saw how many views it had and thought I should check it out. I'm glad I did. This is the most spectacular performance I've ever seen.
idSuperego what is your favourite Joanna Newsom song? i think mine might be In California or Ribbon Bows :)
all the hair on my body moves in waves
I love the cinematic flourish she gives this when she adds the pause between "hear it fall forever...more" and then launches into that gorgeous melody
10mins + and I still don't want it to end, not many artists that can do that.
I cried. Her passion is so gorgeous.
she loves this song so much, i think it might actually be her favourite
i think it's my favourite for what that's worth
This is by far the best performance I have seen in my life, It's so poignant that I'm crying a lot and I wished I was there live. God Bless Joanna Newsom
returning to this video 8 years later. i'm a different person now. now i'm weeping listening to this now where I used to get chills. weeping for my mother who just passed. 😭
An ad in the middle of the song ooo RUclips I'm stealing something out of your headquarters
YASSS Joanna! I need to see her live one day!!!
this is so fucking beautiful. I'm all tearing up.
This might be the most beautiful thing I've heard in my life. Oh wow.
To think this was recorded by a chap in the crowd. The video and audio quality are both fantastic. I was there. The atmosphere was amazing, so supportive and communal and it felt really special. I hope JN thinks the same way. As of 2023 she's performing some new material and I can't wait to see her performing again. Mostly I go to classical concerts and opera but JN is something else!
"And grow evermore lighter and lighter.." uhg :'( even though I don't fully understand the messages, I feel like this is the anthem of human existence
I pray that she never stops creating.
how does anyone experience this and give a thumbs down?? it's a fucking masterpiece!
One of the most beautiful performers of all time.
Did this make anyone else cry beautiful tears?
Damn. That last refrain is SO powerful.

Tears. Every time.
What a true artist, insanely talented. You’d think this song is studio trickery to an extent but you hear it here and it’s even better, voice and all. A treasure
There are only three moments in music that makes me shed a tear. 1. Prince - Purple Rain when he yells I know times are changing. 2. Pet Shop Boys - It’s alright when the gospel singer sings its going to be alright. And number 3, this song when at the desire part! Every time!
She's a musical genius. It's that simple.
It should be a crime to interrupt this trance with an ad 😡
"And though our bones the y break and our souls separate.....Why the longface?"
I feel like after watching that performance the world feels a bit different
Still hits me right in the heart.
10 minutes of pure F R I S S O N
I just now discovered this amazing talented lady..wow !! I am hooked..
Kirk..Montreal, Canada
Love love love it! So amazing.
She is one of best songwriters of all time. Her live shows are amazing.
Wow! This is ethereal! Heading to Amazon to buy all of her albums now.
thank you so much for recording & posting. a great moment in time
she's just my fav ever. she inspires me endlessly.
Among all this perfection, her vibrato is amazing.
I needed this today. Well, I need this everyday, but today? Much needed. xo
Toujours aussi agréable de l'entendre.
I always get goosebumps while listening to this.
Her songs bring tears to my eyes. They're so beautiful!

Wow, what an awesome performance and song.
A great performance!
Breathtaking!
Absolute perfection. I wish she toured more

One of the best I've ever seen.
Lovely performance, beautiful expression
This is a very special masterpiece, got me into Joanna Newsom
Def my favorite live version
Everytime I hear this song, immediate tears.
So so good, with tears in my eyes, she is so true.
I got goosebumps throughout this track, literally. Puts the gasm in eargasm.
She still puts up an incredible perfomance and sounds amazing!
I cry with the first note. She's so amazing
She is a swirl of musical love. Thanks, Johanna Newsome!
I like watching her live!!
My god that was incredible
Definitely cried several times watching this. She is enchanting.
The heartbreaking fragility when she sings "Couldn't remember"...That whole passage struck my heart and resonated through my soul.
I’ve seen this video so many times. And it always takes me to another place. If you ever see this, thanks joanna! And thank you @knappafire
I can't tell if this induces tears of joy or sorrow
Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! So very special.
cried so much. god she is beautiful. everything about her. her energy is so brilliantly contagious.
Holy shit. She just keeps getting better in every way, at everything she does. Being one of my favorite songs of hers, this totally blew me away.
