My dad, when i lived with him as a twenty something but didn't quite connect, used to sing along to this when I'd play it... I remember him singing along outside my closed door where he sat in his living room, as a way to try to connect with me. Makes me miss him.

I hope memory isn't lost in the afterlife I really want to remember this one

The fact that this isn’t on Spotify absolutely devastates my soul

[@AndyWitmyer]

This song and video while coming up on three tabs of acid was literally one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. I literally wept.

Finally escaped an 8 year long abusive relationship and was dancing to this song with my infant in my moms livingroom. She came up and held us as I sobbed. My mom died a few months later but that was the safest I had felt in almost a decade. This song brings me so much comfort❤

King Tammanend himself fell off.

Heard this on The Strangers movie. Haven't stopped listening to it since 2008. Always will be an unknown legend. Played it to my 2 year old with our nice headphones. Her eyes got huge and she reached out and grabbed my thumb and held on tight for the whole song. Now she keeps singing "Should we go outside?" The lyric "The difference between the sprout and the bean is a golden ring, it is a twisted string" will always make me think of me (the bean) and her ( the sprout).

whenever she says "should we go outside/should we break some bread/are you interested" i feel like i'm about to cry, she is so much for this world

[@MehlindaHeartt]

She's a fabulous harpist, very complex difficult rhythms that she plays and sings on top of that, and we as harpists can attest to her talent, she's also a fabulous writer of lyrics

[@jenastone93]

The look in her eyes. It's like she's falling madly in love with that harp. I love it.

feels like childhood. reminds me of the bleakness of autumn and winter, and watching animated movies in high school french class. like standing on a gray shore, dull weather, waves gently lapping, just before it reaches waist-high grass

My late friend loved this song. It makes me think about how when he was born his mom planted a tree for him but it died shortly after, and then it makes me think about how he died way too soon

I’m kinda sad she almost never had more music videos like this, I know Joanna could serve us some of the best visuals we’d ever see. But this one here embodies everything her music is, and it suits her so well.

[@mom_salad]

Used to listen to this religiously when I was in active addiction. I don’t use anymore but still come back to this song, it’s such a comfort.

Literally it goes like this:

The Harp is an instrument that is so majestic. Love this song.

This was my phone alarm for 3 years through university. A lovely way to wake up. Highly recommend. 👍

In sixth grade I had my science teacher play this in class. Everybody thought it was so weird and didn’t like it. I knew they wouldn’t, but at least they heard a masterpiece of a song.

[@oc6897]

This song reminds me of walking through a big empty house decorated with antiques with only the soft light of the late afternoon sun illuminating the rooms through the blinds

Absolutely love her music!!! I was 22 I was presented with this cd and I listened to it every day at the time. Now I’m 36 laying in my bed after a long day of work followed by a shower thinking to myself “I miss that voice and music, I wonder if she’s on KZbin because my cd is long gone. Now here I am with a smile on my face writing in the comment section. Beautiful music❤️
