Joanna Newsom这个奇怪女人有着奇怪的如同孩童般的嗓音，拨着竖琴，缓缓的唱着......

Joanna Newsom是一个有着无限精神头儿的女生，特点就是年轻并且涉猎广，出生于1982年的她，出身于音乐世家，妈妈会演奏很多乐器，比如钢琴、康茄鼓以及洋琴，爸爸是吉他手、哥哥是鼓手、姐姐则是大提琴师。oanna Newsom是Terry Riley的邻居，从小学习钢琴，掌握一手精湛的凯尔特竖琴，思维跳脱不局限，朋克的诗意、民谣的纯真、爵士的曼妙都是她心有灵犀的素材，并影响着她的创作动机，在民谣的肌理之上将异域民歌与先锋创作的手法融于一炉，是The Pleased、Deerhoof等多支同族Indie乐队的键盘手/竖琴手，《The Milk-Eyed Mender》是其第一张Solo唱片，展现了一副儿童般未经修饰的嗓音，浅吟低唱之处有种青葱本真的美感，古怪而甜蜜，轻轻撩动的琴弦也契合着其一尘不染的整体调调，Will Oldham和Cat Power都对其赞赏有嘉。她喜欢听Texas Gladden、Ruth Crawford Seeger、The Lomax Brothers、Donovan、Karen Dalton、Patti Smith以及Billie Holiday的专辑

Joanna Newsom-Sprout And The Bean
她有一副你听后就无法忘记的古怪嗓音:儿童式的神经质、执拗、洒脱，不受约束、不加修饰，像个小怪物。不理会他人,在自己的世界里自弹自唱,拨弄她巨大的凯尔特竖琴,发出人鱼般美妙的声音.在每一个颤抖的尾音后吐出一个个汩汩流淌的故事,像她在专缉上展示的世界,充满着各式各样的事物,充满蓬勃的生命力,是一个花花世界，吸引我们驻足张望.在这首歌中,这个既消沉又充满希望的姑娘唱到'SHOULD WE GO OUTSIDE?SHOULD WE BREAK SOME BREAD?',情感毫不矫情地流泻了出来,你不自主的托着腮帮子,静静地聆听。弹竖琴的民谣歌手,古怪却让人舒服的情调
I slept all day
awoke with distaste
and I railed,
and I raved
That the difference between
he sprout and the bean
is a golden ring,
it is a twisted string.
And you can ask the counsellor;
you can ask the king;
and they'll say the same thing;
and it's a funny thing:
Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
And as I said,
I slept as though dead
dreaming seamless dreams of lead.
When you go away,
I am big-boned and fey
in the dust of the day,
in the dirt of the day.
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,
who know th'outside!
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
