| Joanna Newsom – Emily Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I'm not sure about it being a mistake if you read Ritchell's comment on page 1 it makes more sense. And the meteorite's just what causes the light..... The thing we find on the ground, the meteorite caused the light And the meteor's how it's perceived.... We see the light and call it a meteor And the meteoroid's a bone thrown from the void that lies quiet in offering to thee.... This is the state of the stone before it enters the atmosphere lying quiet waiting to be seen. |

|
I saw her at the Albert Hall in London and her performance of this song made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! For this song they'd lit the stage in dim blue with a single white spot on Joanna. End of the song, that was in the middle of her set, got a standing ovation. |

I think the stanzas: -------------------------- And, Emily - I saw you last night by the river I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water Frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever In a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger ----------------------------- Joanna is thinking back to when they were children. She remembers Emily, the scientist wondering what makes certain stones skim and others sink trying work out a pattern to why this should be and Joanna, the artist is worried about interrupting her sisters contemplations but does anyway and Emily tries to teach where sister about the stars. Which takes us into the beautiful verse about meteors. |
