    Serious later Vashti Bunyan melancholy vibes at times. Love it

    Never fails to make me cry. So beautiful and tragic.

    There's something about her voice that draws me to listen to and love her songs.

    It's great lyrical poetry and brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it.

    She didn't change her voice on purpose. She got nodules on vocal cord and physically CAN'T sing like this anymore. You can tell she misses her old voice.

    Beautiful, even when recording quality is demo-ish. Note also how the harp strings are not well tuned (at all) but still the overall result is fascinating.

    Ugh...
    Yeah, I just did that. I apparently not only forgot about this song but was in the middle of typing a comment like the one I replied to when I SAW said comment and was practically blown away with how close to my thinking it was.
    And thus replied.. ... .. to my own comment telling me that I was awesome basically.
    *facepalm*

    while I'm listening I'm picturing some scenario from the past but then she says words like "satellite" that made me realize it's not the past. she is taking about now and it's so disturbing

      Indeed. It's a critique of humanity and can be applied throughout history... Especially now.

    @HerbySeas I think that just come from her style cracking ;) She puts on the voice-- for an instant I think a vowel failed her or something. I thought I heard it turn into normal people singing for a second. I guess she must have liked it enough to leave it in the recording!

    @HerbySeas but that's the best part!

    actually, if you read the comments.. it appears that this is a re-recorded version. So technically this is her newer voice? I guess I'm not certain when it was re-recorded. Was it re-recorded DURING milk eyed mender and just released as a single now? .. because the original is on CZcams and is from Yarn and Glue.
    Does anyone know these details?

      after the first recording on the self-released Yarn & Glue CD, it was re-recorded and released as a B-side to the Sprout and the Bean single. This single is a re-release of the Sprout and the Bean B-side version.

      @simulacreage is correct, this is a re-release of a milk eyed mender recording, so it would still be pre-vocal nodules. However, I think Joanna is talented and committed enough to use whatever voice she has available to achieve full expression of her ideas.

    The fella in the picture looks like Devendra Banhart. A good album cover, I think.

    Dude.. it's funny you should say that. That's almost exactly how I feel.

    Feels like a few references to Don Quixote in this one.

    this is incredible, but could you upload it with excellent quality somehow?

    This is like.. Milk Eyed Mender voice with YS ambition. This is where she would have went had people not been such whiney assholes about her voice.
    Although, I really love her voice now.. but I still get hair raised when she gets really excited and accidentally slips this style of singing into a moment.
