First listen through and it's already wonderful - just beautiful, excellent, surreal story, beautiful melodies and a magnificently quirky voice.

Her voice has really grown on me, first time I listened to her I physically recoiled. Now she is very pleasant. [2]

i am constantly taken a bit aback by the people i meet and Joanna Newsom comes up and they use the word strange or wierd. Really? I know of weirder... This is my favorite song off this album and her storytelling is sound. She's not Tori Amos... who just pulls shit out of her ASS.

These lyrics paint such an wonderful fable. The bear shedding its coat at the end is just too perfect.

With the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite, jerking tight at its tether <-- GAH! ♥

Fairy tales were originally very twisted, cthonian, and mysterious. Their descent is from the early morning of mythology when times were harsher. Those who cannot appreciate the beauty of this raw form of story telling has become too sensitized by Disney.

This is like an adult who's wandered through an armoire and found themselve's in some sort of twisted Narnia.

One of the weirdest songs I've ever heard. I dig it, though.
