This of Petty That or That of Petty This?

Ozymandian indeed.
A quietly but completely gripping narrative set against an almost Giallo-style thriller soundtrack.

If this was 30 minutes long I'd still listen to it all the way through.
Sublime.
Sublime.

This is normal.
She got polyps on her vocal chords after her first three albums and had to retrain her voice.

Banjo and ominous Moog.
What's not to like.

This is a Joanna Newsom Stevie Wonder-style number.
All instruments played by Ms. N.

This track has the weirdest most opaque of the album's lyrics.

In martial wind, and in clarion rain
We minced into battle, wincing in pain;
Not meant for walking, backs bound in twine:
Not angel or devil
But level, in time

Bold, very bold.

This is a slow-burner.
It burns and burns.
It smoulders...
It burns and burns.
It smoulders...

Re: Joanna Newsom - Divers (2015)
Her lyrics are outrageously ambitious...
My life comes and goes
My life comes and goes
Short flight, free rows:
I lie down and doze
My life came and went
My life came and went
Short flight; free descent
Poor flight attendant
But the sky, over the ocean!
And the ocean, skirting the city!
And the city, bright as a garden
(when the garden woke to meet me)
From that height was a honeycomb
Made of light from those funny homes, intersected:
Each enclosed, anelectric and alone
In our lives is a common sense
That relies on the common fence
That divides, and attends
But provides scant defense
From the Great Light that shine through a pin-hole
When the pin-light calls itself Selfhood
And the Selfhood inverts on a mirror
In an Amora Obscura
But it's mine. Or, at least, it's lent
And my life, until the time is spent
Is a pin-light, bent
It's a pin-light, bent
My life comes and goes
My life comes and goes
Short flight, free rows:
I lie down and doze
My life came and went
My life came and went
Short flight; free descent
Poor flight attendant
But the sky, over the ocean!
And the ocean, skirting the city!
And the city, bright as a garden
(when the garden woke to meet me)
From that height was a honeycomb
Made of light from those funny homes, intersected:
Each enclosed, anelectric and alone
In our lives is a common sense
That relies on the common fence
That divides, and attends
But provides scant defense
From the Great Light that shine through a pin-hole
When the pin-light calls itself Selfhood
And the Selfhood inverts on a mirror
In an Amora Obscura
But it's mine. Or, at least, it's lent
And my life, until the time is spent
Is a pin-light, bent
It's a pin-light, bent

Re: Joanna Newsom - Divers (2015)
It's an absolute and utter mystery why she's married to that idiot.
He must 'make her laugh'.
And have an enormous *****.
