About This Track

“Sprout and the Bean” is a single by Joanna Newsom. The A-side is from her album The Milk-Eyed Mender, while the B-side, “What We Have Known”, is a re-recording of the track originally appearing on the self-released Yarn and Glue EP. The CD also contains the video for “Sprout and the Bean” which was directed by Terri Timely. The song has been used in commercials and films such as The Strangers, as well as a tourism advert for Melbourne, Australia. The harp intro was also used in a Victoria’s Secret ad.

    "when you go away, i am big boned and fey" so does this mean that she gets so depressed when her man leaves her, she starts eating tubs of ice cream and puts on some pounds? LOL. side note: you better have your thesaurus on you when you start fuggin with j. newsom.

    Music sounds good but the voice does need getting used to. I accepted the voice on my first ever listen so there are exceptions.

    It's so odd to realize how much her voice has grown on you, if you've been listening to her for a while. Her voice has grown in it's own right since this album as well, of course, but I love all of it now.

    Dear Joanna your voice sounds as if it could be in a cartoon with bunnies in it, your harp playing is gorgeous, as i wallow in my creative pig sty.
