i’d like to post Joanna Newsom’s new song “On A Good Day,” but since it’s still unreleased and tumblr will delete my account if i do, here are the quite extraordinary lyrics.
“hey hey hey, the end is near.
on a good day, you can see the end from here.
but i won’t turn back now, though the way is clear
i will stay for the remainder.
i saw life, and i called it mine.
i saw it drawn so sweet and fine
and i had begun to fill in all the lines
right down to what we’d name her.
our nature does not change by will.
in the winter round the ruined mill
the creek is lying flat and still
it is water, though it’s frozen.
so ‘cross the years, and miles, and through
on a good day you can feel my love for you
will you leave me be, so that we can stay true
to the path that you have chosen?”
-from the upcoming album “Have One On Me”
