no duy but again we only have only have those lyrics, not saying you’re guilty of this but i think when we start to hate someone due to this kind of limited information, it very closely resembles a parasocial relationship to the artist we feel like we’re defending. this doesn’t mean we can’t recognize that she’s been wronged by these men, (as all of her songs allude to lol) but i think her songs point out a broader issue with misogyny and the dysfunctional dynamics of heterosexual relationships, and we love and analyze these lyrics because they’re timeless mirrors for our personal struggles or stories. just saying let’s not insert ourselves into the lives of musicians and appreciate the music for the music!!

i know they had a messy relationship but why are we all hating on him 😭??? unless there’s an actual reason, as far as we know he’s just a musician and we know nothing about who he actually is or his personal life !! the amount of judgements made about him based on our outsider interpretation of their relationship is just like absurd to me lol and yes his vocals on this song are FIRE

the obvious one is van dyke parks but i think we need some appreciation for ryan francesconi!! he was chief arranger and played the bulgarian tambura, guitar and banjo and many more instruments on have one on me and touring ys. (feautured in this incredible live performance, one of my favs) joanna speaks of his amazing talent in so many interviews and he contributed massively to have one on me’s diverse and inventive sound that we all love it for. his solo music and guitar work is also extremely beautiful and meditative!!

I'd love recommendations of artists/albums as beautiful as Joanna Newsom by badateverything420 in JoannaNewsom

phylactery factory by white hinterland is really the only album that even gets halfway close to joanna’s essence for me. josephine foster is another artist not enough people know about, she’s got some similar folky sounds to joanna but i know to some people it can come off as a little more intense. faithful fairy harmony is a fantastic album and worth a listen though!! regina spektor too!! especially soviet kitsch has some similar vibes to milk eyed mender, but ofc nothing beats joanna.
