More quotes by Joanna Newsom
It broke my heart when I learned the moon had been passing the sun’s light off as its own.
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 am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.
Joanna Newsom
I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple.
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 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
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
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
You should listen to a lot of different music.
Joanna Newsom
I would happy for someone to download my music.
Joanna Newsom
I have a recording that I did of instrumental songs.
Joanna Newsom
I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.
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
The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.
Joanna Newsom
I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.
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
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
People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.
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
I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.
Joanna Newsom
