Joanna Newsom official bio:
Avant-garde multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom will embark on a national tour. The String/Keys Incident - An Evening with Joanna Newsom will feature her emotively beautiful songs in a rare and intimate concert experience by Joanna alone: solo voice, harp, and piano!
Newsom was classically-trained on the harp at a young age and began her professional musical career as a keyboardist in the San Francisco-based indie band The Pleased. After self-releasing two EPs in 2002, she signed to the independent label Drag City where she released her debut album The Milk-Eyed Mender in 2004. The album released to critical-acclaim, named “The 12th best folk album of all time” by NME, and secured Newsom a dedicated underground following.
In 2006, she released Ys, which charted at Number 134 on Billboard 200 and received a 2007 Shortlist Music Prize nomination. She followed with the release of Have One on Me in 2010 and Divers in 2015. Her song “Sapokanikan” on Divers earned her a spot on NPR’s “The 200 greatest songs by 21st century women.”
No stranger to critical-acclaim, she is often noted for her unique musical style, sometimes characterized as psychedelic folk, and her prominent use of harp instrumentation. In addition to her solo success in the music industry, Newsom has provided additional vocals for The Lonely Island’s songs “Ras Trent” and “We Are A Crowd.” She has appeared in MGMT’s music video for hit song, “Kids,” and has appeared as an actress in the popular television show Portlandia and Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice.

Time, As A Symptom lyrics:
Time passed hard
And the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do
But she forgot
The moment she saw you
So it would seem to be true:
When cruel birth debases, we forget
When cruel death debases
We believe it erases all the rest
That precedes
But stand brave, life-liver
Bleeding out your days
In the river of time
Stand brave:
Time moves both ways
In the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life;
The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life
The moment of your greatest joy sustains:
Not axe nor hammer
Tumor, tremor
Can take it away, and it remains
It remains
And it pains me to say, I was wrong
Love is not a symptom of time
Time is just a symptom of love
(and the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life;
The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life)
Hardly seen, hardly felt-
Deep down where your fight is waiting
Down 'till the light in your eyes is fading:
Joy of life
Where I know that you can yield, when it comes down to it;
Bow like the field when the wind combs through it:
Joy of life
And every little gust that chances through
Will dance in the dust of me and you
With joy-of-life
And in our perfect secret-keeping:
One ear of corn
In silent, reaping
Joy of life
Joy! Again, around-a pause, a sound-a song:
A way a lone a last a loved a long
A cave, a grave, a day: arise, ascend
(Areion, Rharian, go free and graze. Amen.)
A shore, a tide, unmoored-a sight, abroad:
A dawn, unmarked, undone, undarked (a god)
No time. No flock. No chime, no clock. No end
White star, white ship-Nightjar, transmit: transcend!
White star, white ship-Nightjar, transmit: transcend!
==============================
Anecdotes lyrics:
Sending the first scouts over
Back from the place beyond the dawn:
Horse, bear your broken soldier
Eyes frozen wide at what went on
And Time, in our camp, is moving
As you’d anticipate it to
But what is this sample proving?
Anecdotes cannot say what Time may do
I kid with Rufous Nightjar
When our men are all asleep:
“It ain’t about how rare you are
But how hard you are to see
Take, you and me-"
“When are you from?” said he
In our blind of winter leaves
As we sighted out their fliers
In the grayscale of the night
Fumbled on the bare ground
To bury round landmines
While the dew lay down and dried - Hudba
being able to play both of these songs while switching between two instruments flawlessly is an athletic accomplishment honestly. none of these songs repeat any words and rarely repeat chord progressions. i can't imagine the amount of practice this took. not to mention writing all of it??? joanna newsom is other worldly.
5:13 shook me to my core. an album about time and eternity that returns to the beginning track to repeat infinitely, what a beautiful concept
Check out Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard! I’m not sure there’s a huge overlap of fans but it’s an awesome record with a similar feature
She has a matching mic pack with her wristlets and dress 😭
Hearing "Time, as a Symptom" right before "Anecdotes"... wow. Such a flawless transition. Eternal Recurrence made music. A not-so cruel birth that does not debase.
She's the greatest recording artist. Her lyrics have such poetic texture that I can only compare her to Emily Dickinson and Shakespeare.
5:14 blew my mind. I literally can’t stop watching it.
Spontaneously started weeping on the transition between the songs, my heart clenched
me too
I was there. She opened with 'Sadie' and I was immediately crying. I absolutely lost my shit when she played these 2 songs. She played at the same theatre the next night and the only songs that were in the setlist again were these 2.
@@Rehhhhhhhhhhhhh I wish I can listen to her playing one day❣️
When she sang ‘Time, as a Symptom’, I can’t help but feel how intimate/personal it sounded. Particularly in this performance. It’s so ethereal.
NOBODY THOUGHT TO TELL THE REST OF THE WORLD THIS WAS HERE?
Share, this shit. JOY!!!!!!!!!! Joy of life.
she is literally god
Nope. She's a woman favored by God.
I remember I used to listen to the bootleg "Sawdust and Diamonds" over and over. It makes me sad but I guess life is sad.
استغفر الله العظيم
The Divers album is literally a loop. Blew my mind when I found that out. I will never ever regret seeing her live. If you ever get the chance....
okay but her jumping between the piano and the harp like that is such a fat flex
"Transmit Tran_Sending the first scouts over" a secret we all share with joanna... she's so personal
7:44. You play the piano and then switch to the harp. Her talent is otherworldly. I love her so much.
First time hearing this. Sobbing like a heart broken child.
I just clapped out loud when she did that.
3:13 the verse here really gets me. It's sooo beautiful and heartbreaking
i cant stop crying omfg
Me too
I was at this performance and was basically for nearly two hours.
this is the best video on the internet
I was at this performance. Never gonna forget it
My god. She is the absolute best ever.
This song makes me so emotional.. I can believe she can sing such beautiful words without trembling... beautiful soul!!!
She's playing right in the pocket when she swaps from keys to harp and back again! Luscious!!
she went from harp to piano like HOLY SHI
Joanna!!! You didn’t have to do THAT but I’m so fucking grateful you did!!!
Best performance of time as a symptom for me. Praaaaying she comes to London soon :(
Devon C I’ve been waiting for so long for her to play a UK show! I don’t even care where! I will travel!!
Broooo, I hope you get to see her perform at least once. Her artistry is unreal and seeing it live is transcending. I was there at this performance and literally my only regret in life is not seeing her perform the next night. She's the greatest recording artist of all time.
still to this day, seeing joanna newsom live in 2016 is the greatest concert i've ever seen. she is truly whimsical
basically a religious experience
Mad at myself for not discovering this sooner
She is amazing ❤
God damn she is absolutely wonderful
this is so beautiful. i'm sobbing at 3 in the morning listening to this
Sending the first scouts over
Back from the place beyond the dawn
Horse, bear your broken soldier
Eyes frozen wide at what went on
And time, in our camp, is moving
As you'd anticipate it to
But what is this sample proving?
Anecdotes cannot say what Time may do
I kid with rufous nightjar
When our men are all asleep
It ain't about how rare you are
But how hard you are to see
Take, you and me
When are you from, said he
In our blind of winter leaves
As we sighted out their fliers
In the grayscale of the night
And fumbled on the bare ground
To bury round landmines
While the dew lay down and dried
We signal private poorwill, when morning starts to loom:
Pull up from your dive
Till we hear the telltale Boom
Too soon
Hotdogging loon, caught there
Like a shard of mirror in the moon
Now they've stopped giving orders
But i follow anyway
Laying in our state of torpor
Waiting out the day
While the dew burns away
Rushing, tearing, speeding home
Bound to a wheel that is not my own
Where round every bend I long to see
Temporal infidelity
All along the road, the lights stream by
I want to go where the dew won't dry
I want to go where the light won't bend
Far as the eye may reach, nor end
But inasmuch as that light is loaned
And, insofar as we've borrowed bones
Must every debt now be repaid
In star-spotted, sickle-winged night raids
While we sing to the garden, and we sing to the stars
And we sing in the meantime
Wherever you are?
In the folds and the branches
Somewhere, out there
I was only just born into open air
Now hush, little babe
You don't want to be
Down in the trenches
Remembering with me
Where you will not mark my leaving
And you will not hear my parting song
Nor is there cause for grieving
Nor is there cause for carrying on
And daughter, when you are able
Come down and join, the kettle's on
And your family's round the table
Will you come down, before the sun is gone?
im like a third of these views
you're wrong, joanna. this is life-giving
I was feeling fine before this video. Then why am I crying now?
Can anyone listen to this song without crying???
Wonderful stuff. Glad to hear she appreciates the Wake as well
This never gets old
I was at this show, wow! No idea this video was out there. An amazing performance!
Glad you found the video! This was an amazing show. I managed to shoot a few of the songs, which I gathered here in a playlist: czcams.com/play/PLwdc0qZNx0tZebgvnH9KZStkKvu_qy5Tk.html
Four people forgot to trasmit: transcend
Aaaaaand I'm back here again
Existence is a loop
she is soooo crazy
This song is so powerful. I can't even get through it without crying. Im confused why this song isn't one of her bigger hits because to me it's so much deeper and stronger than her other stuff
wow is all i can say. this is wow . thank you
Thank you for filming and uploading all these videos, I just keep playing your playlist in the background on loop, its amazing, such beautiful audio quality and amazing performance. This one especially...I saw some of her New York shows last september and remember the moment I realized she was gonna do the TAAS/Anecdotes loop about halfway through TAAS, when I remembered that I had expected her to play Anecdotes because before this song the stage hands had arranged the harp to help her make the switch...I sat there too shocked to continue crying for a second and still couldn't believe it when it actually happened. Absolutely incredible.
touchstone song 🙌
holy shit, this is amazing.
just crying
WHAT IS THIS SAMPLE PROVING
Ridiculously beautiful. Gives me tingles every time.
She is the Mistress .of the Universe
Andy Samberg is a lucky man
so lucky
SHE JUST SWITCHES
Hi guys, not to be rude but I don't get the good about this. I'm so sorry. Please educate me.
Check out her song Easy, studio version. More accessible
@Don Fatale thats true. her music isn’t for everybody bc her sound is so truly unique
Personally, i just like it because yes, her harp skills and her unique way or singing, it relax me, but i understand it may not be the like of everyone. If i can recomend something from her it would be the Ys album, specially Monkey and Bear and Emily.
Even if you don't like her voice, in this video you can clearly see her exceptional talent her vocal capacity like cmon
You're as good at singing as jake is at being a cop (plz french boy here)
