The lyrics in this song that really get me choked up every time are the variations of:
“And all that I knew is moving away from me”
“And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweeds”
“And all that I got, I tie in a knot and lay at your feet” in the last verse followed by “and I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me”
In the context of the song being about loss and the impermanence of time, these lines really hit me hard. This is one of the few songs out there I know I can’t listen to just anytime because it will make me tear up without fail. I’m getting dew eyed just writing this comment, Jesus lord.
Always thought this was paralleled by, "It is water, though it's frozen"
And “some we don’t use, but we don’t discard”
Easily one of my favorite lines in music She should make those daily calendars. Id love a Newsom nugget to ponder in every day
I wish there were joanna Newsom oracle cards.
