"I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to."

Music

Quote_1.png
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."

Progress

"It's totally different. I usually don't tell people about the Pleased if they know me from the harp. And if they are there to see the Pleased, I usually don't tell them about the harp. I am nervous that these people will expect something similar."

"I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes."

Key

Joanna Newsom
"The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it."
