More quotes by Joanna Newsom
The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.
Joanna Newsom
It broke my heart when I learned the moon had been passing the sun’s light off as its own.
Joanna Newsom
I don't look at people's expressions, because I still get nervous when I play, especially when I first put the harp up there. I just try to tune - it takes me a half-hour to tune, and I get nervous if I look at anybody when I do it.
Joanna Newsom
I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.
Joanna Newsom
I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.
Joanna Newsom
I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.
Joanna Newsom
What a woman does is open doors. And it is not a question of locking or unlocking.
Joanna Newsom
I have a recording that I did of instrumental songs.
Joanna Newsom
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
Joanna Newsom
People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.
Joanna Newsom
I have a lot of interest in interior rhyming not just rhyming at the end of the lines, but playing around with rhymes within the lines, playing with where the syllabic emphases in the sentences are, lining those up at strange moments in the line of the song. I’m not sure if that comes across or not.
Joanna Newsom
People in San Francisco and the East Bay have shown interest, done interviews, and have come to shows. I guess that the news travels fast out of this island that we are on.
Joanna Newsom
I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.
Joanna Newsom
I have a voice that's obviously untrained - and I think untrainable - so I kind of secreted it away for a long time. Actually, I would write songs with lyrics when I was younger, but I would just sing in my head.
Joanna Newsom
I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.
Joanna Newsom
I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn't have any money. I wouldn't want to do that forever.
Joanna Newsom
Families of privilege and money would have harps in their parlors, and their cultured daughters would learn to play. It's got such a strange history. But that wasn't the context that I learned it in, so the inherent friction between that history and the more humanist folk-y history wasn't in my conscience at all.
Joanna Newsom
I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.
Joanna Newsom
I am producing sounds that people are not used to hearing from the harp.
Joanna Newsom
I had known that people would probably have strange reactions to my voice, because I have kind of an unwieldy, difficult voice, but I never thought that anybody would have a problem with the harp. I just assumed... C'mon, it's a beautiful instrument.
Joanna Newsom
