Her facial expressions are part of her charm. She's adorable. I'm sure her music is not for everyone, but Newsom is probably the most unique artist to come along since Tom Waits.
She may even have her own American Songbook one day - but we probably won't be around then. She is a refreshing original - but maybe there have been some others since TW. Her song "This side of Blue" strikes me as something which someone should have written years ago - so perfect it is. Like Waits' "Innocent When You Dream" or the Divine Comedy's "Songs of Love" or even "Belfast Central" by Juliet Turner. And if you like harp music then there is beautiful music from Mali - on their kora - a string instrument - best recent example may be "New Ancient Strings" from 2000 by Toumani Diabate. Recorded in a marble halls in the middle of nowhere. The acoustics - I dunno...they kind of sprinkle all over you - maybe like having a long awaited shower?
its bullshit. Its because young people are so used to having whores shoved down their gullets by pop music when they see what a real singer looks like it makes their heads explode.
People who try and don't get Joanna Newsom and keep whining about it everywhere: chill out, she has enough fans to keep her work going and she's not trying to prove anything to you.
@@melissag4869 i hope that when you made this joke you didn't know that andy samberg is married to Joanna, because if you didnt that is a hilarious coincidence.
Every once and a while an artist comes around that makes you rethink your whole creative process. I hear a track like this and it’s “back to the drawing board, boys.” But at the same time, it’s about a decades worth of inspiration. What a real treat.
What's so appealing and refreshing about Joanna Newsom is her ability to experiment musically and be uninhibited by "normal" standards. Pretty sure she recognizes that her voice, among other things, is unconventional yet she makes music for no other reason than she enjoys doing so (Isn't that what it's all about? Isn't that what everyone wants? Musicianship for the sake of expression, not money?) Her musical artistry is truly unique... thus refreshing.
She reminds my of an eccentric school teacher... Subbing for the music teacher who's out because he drank to much at his local bar gig. I like Newsome.
Joanna's completely unique. I heard several genre's of music wrapped into one five and a half minute piece. Unique vocals, unique arrangements, like, holy shit. How can a human being do this?
I hate all the comments about Joanna's face... she has a beautiful voice and writes brilliant lyrics. Look past the mask you're judging her by. Her music is pure beauty.
Fallons intro should have been 'Our next guest is a truly outstanding singer songwriter and we should consider ourselves lucky to be able to witness what is about to come'.
If you try saying "who" in the same way she did at 3:55, there's a definite difference in sound when you sing it while making that face and when you're not.
This is by far my favourite live performance by her. I didn't care much for this song at first on her CD, but watching it live I get a whole different vibe. I just love her face when she says "You give love a little shove and it becomes terror." I just saw and felt so much of her emotion and passion for those words. Simply amazing, I just love everything about her. Especially her expressions - just adds even more life into the music.
Fascinating. I hear a little Cyndi Lauper and the rhythm and change of tempo ballads from the 60s like Jethro Tull all wrapped into her own unique genre. Hauntingly beautiful.
I keep forgetting about Joanna because she's on the streaming platforms, but everytime I do remember, I listen to this song at least 5 times in a row. Easily one of my favorite songs ever. That shift from honey to lawlessness in the chorus (and the pronunciation on the word lawlessness) is so damn entrancing. The instruments come and go so smoothly, never taking the spotlight way from the lyrics but greatly amplifying everything. Lyrically it's like reading a lost fragment of the Canterbury Tales, so rich and full of imagery, incredibly helped by the progressive nature of the song. Oh and Joanna is absolutely adorable and wholesome.
I loved Milk Eyed Mender, I loved Ys, and I love this album. She's just, good god she's such a talented musician. To come back from something that almost took away her singing voice completely and put out something like this is just incredible. And the fact that she can progress into different sonic soundscapes while still retaining *her* signature sound. I could go on and on. I love you Joanna. Keep doing what you do, for all of us
She is amazing! I find it hard to believe that someone couldn't like her but after reading some comments it seems that quite a few don't. but I love her! Her voice control is incredible and her lyrics are beautiful. But her voice is definitely the best. How can someone not like it! It's so unique and refreshing!
What a unique performance. What I love about her is her unique way of singing & how her song takes me on an adventure. What incredible musician. This was extremely entertaining!
That's just perfection - nothing less. Amazing in every way and the creativity and talent concentrated in this single woman is just unbelievable for me. No wonder Andy took her with an instant.
If you think Newsom is limited to basic progressions and melodies, you ought to listen to one of her actual albums (preferably one of her more recent ones). She strikes a fantastic balance between catchy/poppy tunes and intricate, inventive ones. Also, I kind of take issue with the idea that a singer's quality is determined primarily by his/her technique. Nontraditional voices can be equally (or more) effective depending on context (and listener preference, obviously).
What I like about her the most is , how she gets in her music and all the facial expressions , just being her self 100% natural and confident most of all.
What a beautiful gift to all of us listening. As many mentions, it's not for everyone, but I really wish it was. I truly believe everyone would do better with a piece of Joanna with them.
She's like an angelic version of Tom Waits, his antithesis. Where he is dark and seedy she is perky and light. Both command the musical language so well... my two favorites!
Johanna, you are so beautiful, your voice haunts me, the cute way you scrunch your mouth to the side when you hit certain notes, the sparkles in your eyes captivates me and your musical talent is undeniable. What a queen... I wish I knew you, I wish I could have grown up with you experiencing all the fantastic narratives we live when discovering ourselves as young adults. And now that I am in my middle years I get the chance to meet so very few special people - but if one of them could be you I know my life would be complete. What an exceptional human being. I hope your career gives you everything you hope it will, and for all our sake never compromise, your gift is so special.

As far as I'm aware, she is the greatest American songwriter of the 21st century so far.
Her facial expressions are part of her charm. She's adorable. I'm sure her music is not for everyone, but Newsom is probably the most unique artist to come along since Tom Waits.

rubber chicken she kinda is a female tom isn't she? only less edgy
its bullshit. Its because young people are so used to having whores shoved down their gullets by pop music when they see what a real singer looks like it makes their heads explode.
i’m a simple man. i see eraserhead, i thumbs up.
I was just watching some Kate Bush and had the urge to hear Joanna. I didn't realize she has such a similar sound
People who try and don't get Joanna Newsom and keep whining about it everywhere: chill out, she has enough fans to keep her work going and she's not trying to prove anything to you.
Yesss exactly :)
"You can give love a little shove and it becomes... terror.."
Genius
Her vocals on this performance are more perfect than perfect
I love how the tempo is completely fluid.
I will never, ever, ever ,ever tire of this performance.

Exactly. I dont understand why some people are so bitter that they need to call her out on her alleged lack of musical talent
@@Julia-oe9xl it isn’t lack, it’s just folk type of music. You don’t expect rap,pop, and rock to sound same. Of course she will sound different.
@@shivamgiri4334 uhh yeah, thats my point lol
It's not just that. She's a genius, and people who can't see it are just dumb.
Imagine a world without artists like Joanna newsom! what a poor world that would be.
Joanna: "I'm not good at piano or any other instruments, only harp!"
3:27
Girl, you lying!
brilliant. free-form poetry set to music. just discovered her.
She reminds my of an eccentric school teacher... Subbing for the music teacher who's out because he drank to much at his local bar gig. I like Newsome.
Joanna's completely unique. I heard several genre's of music wrapped into one five and a half minute piece. Unique vocals, unique arrangements, like, holy shit. How can a human being do this?
Sounds like a mixture of an classical art song and folk music. Brilliant!
I love hearing her with a full band. The drums add such a depth to her songs that make me so happy.
"I glare and nod like the character God, bearing down upon the houses and lawns"
That shit is too real for cable television
I hate all the comments about Joanna's face... she has a beautiful voice and writes brilliant lyrics. Look past the mask you're judging her by. Her music is pure beauty.
Don't worry about them Lola. Comments like those are just the last refuge of the total c***.
+Lola H. I agree her songs are so beautiful there awesome
+Lola H. I agree. Her face isn't even ugly?? I think she's very pretty actually.
+Matt Pimley agreed. I met her a couple months ago and she was stunning
+Lola H. what's wrong with her face? If you saw her walking down the street you'd think "she's pretty"
Fallons intro should have been 'Our next guest is a truly outstanding singer songwriter and we should consider ourselves lucky to be able to witness what is about to come'.
i swear to god she pulls something out of me that i didn't know was there
That's what great poets do
i feel like if i ever had the opportunity to see her live i would literally cry my eyes out the entire time.
+Jacob Otto I think so too. :D I hope I will have that opportunity some day... or night.
I saw her live, in Portland like 5 years ago it was amazing
Saw her in 2010 and did exactly that. Thought I wouldn't as I had listened to HOOM to death but still cried my eyes out.
That's exactly what happens. If you can see her live, do so
I cried so much I was embarrassed but then I met someone in the restroom who cried as much as I did and we were like I KNOWWWWW!!!!!!!
Hard to stop listening. She is unique, extremely talented and I love the time changes. Makes me glad I am a drummer.
Seriously people?? Those "faces" she's making are completely necessary to hit the notes in the tone she wants. She's a genius
They're literally not.
LOL. No, No they're not. They're affectations.
If you try saying "who" in the same way she did at 3:55, there's a definite difference in sound when you sing it while making that face and when you're not.
Definitely not necessary, I had a vocal coach tell me that doing things like that are completely for stylistic purposes. Nothing wrong with it though
Who cares what faces she makes. She is amazing AF!! Period
A forever favorite. No one else has ever accomplished half of what Newsom does with tone and timbre!
I agree. It is one of my favorite TH-cam videos.
She could never release another CD and I think she'd still be my favorite musician indefinitely.
There is something so genuine, and innocent about her music. Just joy and talent. Amazing!
She's just so in touch with herself and reality, just lets it all flow through her veins.
This song is like listening to a beautiful painting...!
the way you can see her counting time at 0:49 is my favorite part. i haven't watched this video in literally 10 years but i still remember that
Very poetic, unique, of it's own essence. Humble, folksy, original, musically/lyrically intricate. Good shit.
This is my favorite performance by Joanna Newsom! I love the red dress and her hair is so pretty. Unique and beautiful performance.
That waist, that is a medieval kinda dress right? Lol, she's a true hipster
This is by far my favourite live performance by her. I didn't care much for this song at first on her CD, but watching it live I get a whole different vibe.
I just love her face when she says "You give love a little shove and it becomes terror." I just saw and felt so much of her emotion and passion for those words. Simply amazing, I just love everything about her. Especially her expressions - just adds even more life into the music.
I love how she manipulates her voice... WOOOW
You get it or you don't. Simple as that.
Kinda like herpes....
And you got it bad, baby.
Studentofgosset Looks like I got the herps as well.
Consult your doctor.
Studentofgosset only the doctor of looove can cure this disease.
Getting it "to me" means enjoying it. I'm not pretentious or hip. I can promise you that.
Fascinating. I hear a little Cyndi Lauper and the rhythm and change of tempo ballads from the 60s like Jethro Tull all wrapped into her own unique genre. Hauntingly beautiful.
Almost every single one of her songs make my eyes fill with tears, even the happy ones!! Beautiful music and lyrics
@02:13 when the percussion guy comes in with the tambourine ... oh man ... such sonic love.
The percussionist is top notch.
One of favorite performances. Timeless. She takes musical art to a new level.
I keep forgetting about Joanna because she's on the streaming platforms, but everytime I do remember, I listen to this song at least 5 times in a row. Easily one of my favorite songs ever.

if it is not abundantly clear that this music is delivered through pure genius than i would have to say. . . have some more flouride.
I loved Milk Eyed Mender, I loved Ys, and I love this album. She's just, good god she's such a talented musician. To come back from something that almost took away her singing voice completely and put out something like this is just incredible. And the fact that she can progress into different sonic soundscapes while still retaining *her* signature sound. I could go on and on. I love you Joanna. Keep doing what you do, for all of us
If I'm sad I always watch this live performance. She's one of the most talented female artists out there today.
Even just her words are some of the finest poetry, almost Nabokov-like, but with her musicianship she's spectacular.
She has the voice of a goddess. My oh my, what a musical talent!
holy SHIT she's so bad ass
She is amazing! I find it hard to believe that someone couldn't like her but after reading some comments it seems that quite a few don't. but I love her! Her voice control is incredible and her lyrics are beautiful. But her voice is definitely the best. How can someone not like it! It's so unique and refreshing!
I love the way she sings lawlessness
This is easily my favorite song/performance by her. I find the "faces" completely adorable, and it makes her, her.
BRILLIANT and beautiful. THIS is alternative music. This. Beyond comparison. XOXO
everything about her is so unique and just not what you usually find in successful musicians and i think thats really cool
Their kids are going to be geniuses
What a unique performance. What I love about her is her unique way of singing & how her song takes me on an adventure. What incredible musician. This was extremely entertaining!
That's just perfection - nothing less. Amazing in every way and the creativity and talent concentrated in this single woman is just unbelievable for me. No wonder Andy took her with an instant.
She is fantastic!! Unlike any any one I've ever see or heard before. I love her.
This particular performance is my favorite song of 2016. Amazing
She's so adorable and her voice is better than anything on the radio wow i love her and andy samberg so much
I LOVE her faces.... she's one of the most original and ingenious artists of our time!
thank god, another genius at last
i watch this once a day... sometimes i play along with my ukulele. love this!!
She has such amazing vocal control, I love Joanna so much :-‘)
At first it almost sound like it's a joke... but then you keep on listening and you realize: ''Hey, that woman has an enormous talent!''
Have you ever heard her play harp? Wow!
2:54 This transition is too wonderful for words
The album version has abuot 14 seconds of additional piano there.
Unique and brilliant whether you like it or not. She's an eccentric genius.
The transitions! What a talent.
i love the expressions she makes when singing (:
I cannot get over this song at the moment. Bloody brilliant!
That might be my favorite performance of any song ever. She’s really freaking good.
If you think Newsom is limited to basic progressions and melodies, you ought to listen to one of her actual albums (preferably one of her more recent ones). She strikes a fantastic balance between catchy/poppy tunes and intricate, inventive ones.
Also, I kind of take issue with the idea that a singer's quality is determined primarily by his/her technique. Nontraditional voices can be equally (or more) effective depending on context (and listener preference, obviously).
I would fight a man larger than myself to see her live.
That would be Andy Samberg her current husband .
@@tableauxofficial7895 hahahah
What I like about her the most is , how she gets in her music and all the facial expressions , just being her self 100% natural and confident most of all.
i was always curious when people say a song cleared their sinus but this song really did clear my sinus. hahahahah i felt it. it's soooo mesmerizing.
Everything about this performance is perfect to me, I love it.
What a beautiful gift to all of us listening. As many mentions, it's not for everyone, but I really wish it was. I truly believe everyone would do better with a piece of Joanna with them.
I hate people making comments about her facial expressions. You're here for music, not for a model.
Good good she is adorable! Watch this at least once a day. So amazing.
intriguing to watch her eyes as she transforms from woman to little girl and back again
She's like an angelic version of Tom Waits, his antithesis. Where he is dark and seedy she is perky and light. Both command the musical language so well... my two favorites!
I like the way she said HONEY =P
HONNNNNNNNNNEY :3
and dee bear like da da honey.
She looks like Joseph gordin-levit in good drag (huge compliment). I just discovered her music and I love her!!!
“You can give love a little shove and it becomes terror...” 🖤
i know people complain about it but i think the faces she pulls when she sings adds to the effect of the music :)
Does she sing at an angle because she's used to singing with her face against a harp? Just thought. What a song this is.
Johanna, you are so beautiful, your voice haunts me, the cute way you scrunch your mouth to the side when you hit certain notes, the sparkles in your eyes captivates me and your musical talent is undeniable. What a queen... I wish I knew you, I wish I could have grown up with you experiencing all the fantastic narratives we live when discovering ourselves as young adults.

I hope your career gives you everything you hope it will, and for all our sake never compromise, your gift is so special.
This is by far my favourite performance. I love this so much more than the album version!
Her music is like no other.
So good the Roots sampled a song of hers!
i love joanna newsom. one of the great beauties of our time.
I've watched this too many times.
Ohh, I know how u feel
Dominique Lemoine same👋🏻
I have to watch this like once a week
10 years on, still love her!
The planet is a little more wonderful with Joanna in it. What a talent
13 years later and I still love this performance
LOVE this song!
This is an amazing live performance. One of my all time favorites.
This song is so enchanting
Joanna / Bjork / Polly Jean - my holy triumvirate.
samcad2013 Gonna check all of them out brb
and laurie anderson, ie,
on my favorite album, strange angels.
Oh I so agree! Love them all
@@JaehyunLim1 Polly Jean= PJ Harvey
OMG I've been cycling between Bjork and Joanna all day
I'm gonna watch that again
And a state line or two I’ll be thinking of you and I’ll be wishing you well: 😢😢 ultimate break up anthem
So this album will become 10 years later this year and it feels so, so long ago and so far away when this album released, a completely different world
my favorite version and my first exposure, when it first aired/ wow!!
still the best thing on the internet ever.
I'm in love with her voice and talent
