JOANNA NEWSOM

Add some music to your days # 7
JOANNA NEWSOM, Peach Plum Pear
Joanna Newsom
Joanna Newsom
Il nostro repertorio si allarga. Lentissimamente e facotissimamente. Ma si allarga.
Stiamo lavorando ad un nuovo brano, con la solita formazione.

       Abbiamo scelto (o meglio, qualcuno a cui piaceva ha scelto) un brano dal primo album di Joanna Newsom: Peach Plum Pear. Questa canzone parla senz'altro di frutta. Ma anche di tante altre cose.
 

     Joanna Newsom (Nevada City, 1982) è una giovane cantautrice americana dallo straordinario talento.

      Unisce ad una tecnica vocale molto personale, uno stile a metà fra il folk e la psichedelia. E sa suonare anche l'arpa.


Peach Plum Pear




                                       ECCO IL TESTO DELLA CANZONE

                                       We speak in the store
                                       I'm a sensitive bore
                                      You seem markedly more
                                      And I'm oozing suprise

But it's late in the day
And you're well on your way
What was golden went gray
And I'm suddenly shy

                                     And the gathering floozies
                                     Afford to be choosy
                                     And all sneezing darkly
                                     In the dimming divide

And I have read the right book
To interpret your look
You were knocking me down
With the palm of your eye

                                   This was unlike the story
                                   It was written to be
                                   I was riding it's back
                                   When it used to ride me

And we were galloping manic
To the mouth of the source
We were swallowing panic
In the face of it's force

                                 And I am blue
                                 I am blue and unwell
                                 Made me bolt like a horse

Now it's done
Watch it go
You've changed some
Water runs from the snow

                               Am I so dear
                               Do I run rare
                               You've changed some
                               Peach, plum, pear
                               Peach, plum
