    Joanna Newsom Have One On Me

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    bollocks that review was definetly a B+ not my best wrk il admit but evrything i release has a spark of genuis to it Im like the old bob dylan . Joanna Newsom is the new Bob Dylan and Bob Dylan was the new shakespear and john lennon was the new Beck

     

    You could very well be the batshit crazy Dylan dancing around in a Santa costume, I'll grant you, but I would have stopped it right there. You went completely off the rails after that.

    Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...

    I pray you can make it better down here.

    I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer

    but all the people that you made in your image,

    see them starving on their feet

    'cause they don't get enough to eat from God,

    I can't believe in you.

     

    Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but...

    I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.

    We all need a big reduction in amount of tears

    and all the people that you made in your image,

    see them fighting in the street

    'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,

    I can't believe in you.

     

    Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?

    Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

     

    Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but...

    your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,

    and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,

    and all the people that you made in your image

    still believing that junk is true.

    Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God,

    I can't believe in

    I don't believe in

     

    I won't believe in heaven and hell.

    No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.

    No pearly gates, no thorny crown.

    You're always letting us humans down.

    The wars you bring, the babes you drown.

    Those lost at sea and never found,

    and it's the same the whole world 'round.

    The hurt I see helps to compound

    that Father, Son and Holy Ghost

    is just somebody's unholy hoax,

    and if you're up there you'd perceive

    that my heart's here upon my sleeve.

    If there's one thing I don't believe in

     

    it's you...

     

    Dear God.

    JOANNA NEWSOM - HAVE ONE ON ME

     

    Joanna Newsom's first record was that of a strange early 21st century folkie princess steeped in modern classicism with a slight sense of 20 century postmodern irony, freak folk yea thats the word. Her second album had nothing ironic about it we were in the beggining stages of a new age and god dammint she was gonna make something worthwhile , i myself only listen to the first track emily when i put on that record but thats just me. Now its 2010 and she has transformed into the new Bob Dylan !! yes its true , she has the acid tounge and elastic vocabulary to lay claim to the thrown , she has added a double album worth of songs to the american songwriters cannon. Its not post modern and its not digimodernism whatever that is , its pure enlightenment and hey thats the way things outta be!! She makes fleet foxes look like peter paul and mary and makes Jeff Tweedys latest batch look like neil diamond. All Hail The Queen.

     

    A+
