Joanna Caroline Newsom (born January 18, 1982) is an American harpist, keyboardist, vocalist, lyricist and actress.
Early life
Newsom was born and raised in the small town of Nevada City, California. Her mother, Christine (née Mueller), is an internist, and her father, William Newsom, is a medical oncologist. Her parents were "progressive-minded professionals" who previously lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
As a child, Newsom was not allowed to watch television or listen to the radio. She describes her parents as "kind of idealists when it came to hoping they could protect us from bad influences, like violent movies, or stupid stuff". She was exposed to music from a young age. Her father played the guitar and her mother was a classically trained pianist who played the hammered dulcimer, the autoharp and conga drums. Newsom attended a Waldorf school where she studied theater and learned to memorize and recite long poems.
At the age of five, Newsom asked her parents if she could learn to play the harp. Her parents eventually agreed to sign her up for harp lessons, but the local harp instructor did not want to take on such a young student and suggested she learn to play the piano first. She did, and later moved on to the harp which she "loved from the first lesson onward." She first played on smaller Celtic harps until her parents bought her a full-size pedal harp in the seventh grade.
Cosmia When you ate I saw your eyelashes Saw them shake like wind on rushes In the corn field when she called me Moths surround me, thought they'd drown me And I miss your precious heart And I miss your precious heart Dried rose petal, red brown circles Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles Dried rose petal, red brown circles Framed your eyes and stained your knuckles And all those lonely nights down by the river Brought me bread and water, water in But though I tried so hard my little darling I couldn't keep the night from coming in And all those lonely nights down by the river I was brought my bread and water by the kith and the kin Now in the quiet hour when I am sleepin' I cannot keep the night from comin' in Why've you gone away Gone away again I'll sleep through the rest of my days If you've gone away again I sleep through the rest of my days And I sleep through the rest of my days And I sleep through the rest of my days Why've you gone away, away Seven suns, seven suns Away, away, away, away Can you hear me, will you listen Don't come near me, don't go missing In the lissome light of evening Help me, Cosmia, I'm grieving And all those lonely nights down by the river Brought me bread and water, water in But though I tried so hard my little darling I couldn't keep the night from coming in And all those lonely nights down by the river I was brought my bread and water by the kith and the kin Now in the quiet hour when I am sleepin' I cannot keep the night from comin' in Beneath the porch light we've all been circling Beat our dust hearts, singe our flour wings But in the corner, something is happening Wild Cosmia, what have you seen Water were your limbs, and the fire was her hair And then the moonlight caught your eye And you rose through the air Well, if you've seen true light, then this is my prayer Will you call me when you get there And I miss your precious heart And miss, and miss, and miss And miss, and miss, and miss, and miss, and miss your heart But release your precious heart
