Storytellers

I thought it looked familiar.

My ears are a lot more alert to musical compositions than to lyrics. That's why when I first listened to Joanna six years ago, her voice didn't bother me so much. In fact, I found her voice very whimsical and so I kept the music to myself! Not like anyone at Prep would've cared for her, HA. Sometimes I can be selfish like that.

I guess all I really want to say is that Joanna Newsom is one of the greatest storytellers. Her songs can evoke all kinds of emotions, that sometimes all I can do is sigh. And I cannot say that I'm not glad that her voice "matured". It almost reminds me of Kate Bush. She is who she is and I love her.
