What is the greatest song Joanna Newsom has ever written

I'm gonna go cliche and pick Baby Birch

>>71180497
That's a great one for sure. In California is her best from HOoM though, imo.

>>71181028
tru
her overall best is sawdust and diamonds, though

Only Skin, but the entirety of Ys is better than most other artists so

>>71181028
Imo, Go Long is the best song in her catalog

>>71181160

I like Bridges and Balloons.

Cosmia. specifically the version from the ys street band album

Shit music shit singer shit album

mfw the child ovens finally make a truly genius songwriter and the fanbase is 95% men slobbering over her gorgeous ass

It's "Esme"

>>71180460
Emily is her best song because it invokes emotions regarding siblinghood that I've never felt in music before. The rest of her songs, while brilliant, mostly explore relatively familiar territory (relationship troubles and so forth).

>'81

>no Sapokanikan

>Oh the hills are groaning with excess
>Like a table ceaselessly being set
