Anecdotes (Demo) - Joanna Newsom

[@nectarandice]

The harp breakdown just before the 6 minute mark is so sick!❤❤

[@chrissmith9596]

These are some of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever seen, and the song is so powerful I find myself stifling back tears when listening to it which is so extremely rare for me.

[@MissPraesepe]

The piano and harp at the end are particularly beautiful. Such a lovely version.

1:43 "While the dew...." Gives me goosebumps every time.

[@dariomatzke4778]

It's like she didn't even have to do that but it couldn't be any other way

[@ExecutionOfAllThings]

@@dariomatzke4778 i love when people respond to my comments years later! Reminded me I haven’t listened to any Joanna in a few weeks! Thx! 😃

The orchestration of this piece is sublime, it makes it so magical

[@plutarchheavensbee3483]

Her voice and words and music makes me melt.

[@TheMonolake]

She is the mistress of the entire. Universe

[@AlexDeLarge1]

This vocal is definitely the final vocal, but the instrumental mix is stripped down.

[@paulsireci6374]

This is beyond gorgeousness. All these WWI-ish pieces are heartwrenching.

[@ericdoce4974]

The lyrics of “Waltz of the 101st Lightborne” suggest that some of the narratives in these songs are set in a future war in which time travel is used as a weapon.

@@AliLevymusic Anyone figure this out?

[@talkingtadpole3001]

@@hiddentunnelmusic It was leaked by someone in the production process about a year before the album was released but only a few people had access to it and they chose not to distribute it far until the official release.

@@talkingtadpole3001 thanks for the info!

[@quillandthyme]

Do you have any more demos by any chance? Or could you say where you got this?? :)

[@ericdoce4974]

This is the only demo from the album that I've ever come across. It was sent to me by a friend, who had a friend, who had a friend, who knew someone who worked in the studio. I don't have that many details about it myself! I just got to hear it a couple months before the official release.
