    the fist time I heard this song I was in prison. 5 years for drug possession. Still young and dumb and certainly naive. I remember thinking that somehow, in one of the darkest places conceived by man, that somehow this delicate, visceral voice made it through to my ears. When you are stripped of everything: time, freedom, material possessions...you realize how much you take it all for granted. When something like this comes along, a simple song becomes an absolute treasure. I used to swap cds with this guy from NYC and he let me borrow a J. Newsom double-disc album for my Tool CD. I used to stay up late because it was the only time there was a pause to all the chaos. Id put my headphones on, close my eyes and let my soul wander.

      Wow. Thank you for sharing that. I spent 5 months in last year, only time I’ve ever done time, and definitely sang Joanna a lot to myself in my cell, but envisioning men,locked up, toting around a double Joanna album is honestly mind-blowing but also beautifully refreshing! I’m glad you both found each other 💚

    Who made you this way?
    Who made you this way?
    Who is going to bear your beautiful children?
    Do you think you can just stop,
    when you're ready for change?
    Who will take care of you
    when you're old and dying?

    Last night, again
    You were in my dreams
    Several expendable limbs were at stake
    You were a prince, spinning rims
    All sentiments indian-given and half-baked
    I was brought in on a palanquin
    Made of the many bodies of beautiful women
    Brought to this place to be examined
    Swaying on an elephant a princess of India
    We both want the very same thing
    We are praying
    I am the one to save you
    But you don't even own
    Your own violence
    Run away from home
    Your beard is still blue
    With the loneliness of you mighty men
    With your jaws, and fists, and guitars
    And pens, and your sugar lip
    But I've never been to the firepits with you mighty men
    Who made you this way?
    Who made you this way?
    Who is going to bear your beautiful children?
    Do you think you can just stop
    When you're ready for a change?
    Who will take care of you
    When you're old and dying?
    You burn in the Mekong
    To prove your worth
    Go Long, go Long
    Right over the edge of the earth
    You have been wronged
    Tore up since birth
    You have done harm
    Others have done worse
    Will you tuck your shirt?
    Will you leave it loose?
    You are badly hurt
    You're a silly goose
    You are caked in mud
    And in blood, and worse
    Chew your bitter cud
    Grope your little nurse
    Do you know why my ankles are bound in gauze
    Sickly dressage a princess of Kentucky?
    In the middle of the woods
    Which were the probable cause
    We danced in the lodge
    Like two panting monkeys
    I will give you a call, for one last hurrah
    And if this tale is tall, forgive my scrambling
    But you keep palming along the wall
    Moving at a blind crawl
    But always rambling
    Wolf-spider, crouch in your funnel nest
    If I knew you, once
    Now I know you less
    In the sinking sand
    Where we've come to rest
    Have I had a hand in your loneliness?
    When you leave me alone
    In this old palace of yours
    It starts to get to me
    I take to walking
    What a woman does is open doors
    And it is not a question of locking or unlocking
    Well, I have never seen
    Such a terrible room
    Gilded with the gold teeth
    Of the women who loved you
    Though I die Magpie
    This I bequeath
    By any other name
    A jay is still blue
    With the loneliness
    Of you mighty men
    With your mighty kiss
    That might never, never end
    While, so far away
    In the seat of the west
    Burns the fount of the heat
    Of that loneliness
    There's a man who only will speak in code
    Backing slowly, slowly down the road
    May he master everything
    That such men may know
    About loving, and then letting go

    I am a 15 year old girl and this woman never fails to reduce me to tears. I am almost depressed because she'll be in Chicago for her first performance in a year, next month, and I'll be a few states over. NOT EXPERIENCING THIS

      Update: I am now 25 and I'm here again, for the millionth time. Still here. Still haven't seen her in concert, narrowly missed her in 2019. It will happen one day 🥹🥲 Joanna Newsom has been my favorite music artist since the year I made this original comment

    Notice at the beginning how she's playing the octaves with both hands. Interesting. I fell in love with this song a year after the album came out. It's so beautiful.
