Joanna Newsom was introduced to me a few years back by a member my age here that I'm not sure even posts anymore. At any rate, this song is so cool. The girl's voice is so child-like it's almost startling when you hear it and yet the music is haunting and the lyrics are dark and I just imagine this tiny feral girl that's somehow extraordinarily intimidating and would probably take out your esophagus in one swift movement if provoked...

We should shine a light on, a light on
The book of right on, right on
It was right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
On the book of right on, right on
It was right on
I killed my dinner with karate
Kick him in the face
Taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do
Do you want to sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able
And you do say, oh oh
That you do pray, oh oh
And you say that you're ok
And do you want to run with my pack
Do you want to ride on my back
Pray that what you lack does not distract
And even when you run through my mind
Something else is in front or behind
And I don't have to remind you to stick with your kind
And you do say, oh oh
That you do pray, oh oh
And you say that you're ok
And even when you touch my face
You know your place
And even when you touch my face
You know your place
And we should shine a light on, a light on
On the book of right on, right on
It was right on
We should shine a light on, a light on
On the book of right on, right on
It was right on
