More quotes by Joanna Newsom
I am producing sounds that people are not used to hearing from the harp.
Joanna Newsom
You should listen to a lot of different music.
Joanna Newsom
I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.
Joanna Newsom
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
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
It broke my heart when I learned the moon had been passing the sun’s light off as its own.
Joanna Newsom
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
Joanna Newsom
I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.
Joanna Newsom
We deserve to know light. And grow evermore lighter and lighter.
Joanna Newsom
Around eighth grade I decided I wanted to be a composer and that's what I went to college for. Just a few years back, I switched out of composition and into creative writing so I could work with words.
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 am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.
Joanna Newsom
If I ever met Dolly Parton for sure, I would just not be able to say anything. I love her.
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 would happy for someone to download my music.
Joanna Newsom
I didn't really know a lot of the history when I was younger. I didn't realize that the harp is coded in such a specific way in musical circles. It's kind of this society instrument because of its history as a young woman's parlor instrument.
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'm not a wanderer, which is funny because I'm on tour half the time. I'm a home, hearth and family kind of person.
Joanna Newsom
The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.
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
