Or at least a few of her songs. Every couple of weeks I find some song that steals my soul and causes me to want to forsake society, and hole up in my house with iTunes blasting and a cup of coffee.
Currently, its' Joanna Newsom's new album, and particularly her song "Go Long". Such wonderful vocal styling. Such intricate harp-playing with a touch of sitar? (correct me if I'm wrong) And it has the sad sweetness I go for in songs, whether it's a sad song or not. It sounds right.
My friends has a broader taste in music and like guys with guitars. (Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams, Ryan LaMontagne, etc). I can roll with some of it, but I do love female singers. Probably due to the fact that in theory, I myself, am a singer. I have no proof that I sing, but someday I will do something with my voice for real. And singing along with other girl voices is fun for me.
I want to be cool like her. She's from freaking Nevada City! She could totally be my friend!! (yeah right)
