【前卫民谣】Sprout And The Bean - Joanna Newsom
把竖琴这种幕后乐器作为歌曲主奏，Joanna Newsom也许是独特的存在。她的声线像受伤的孩子，敏感无辜忧伤；又略带诡异和甜蜜，像个不受约束的小精灵。
Joanna Newsom，1982年出生于美国内华达州的一个音乐家庭，7岁就开始学习凯尔特竖琴。2002年发行了第一张EP《Walnut Whales》，包含了两首经典曲目《Peach, Plum, Pear》与《The Fray》。2004年发行了正式专辑《The Milk-Eyed Mender》。她的每首歌都有一个故事，或叙事、或抒情，都是诗一般美妙。
《Sprout And The Bean》
I slept all day
Awoke with distaste
And I railed
And I raved
That the difference between
The sprout and the bean
It is a golden ring
It is a twisted string
And you can ask the counsellor
And you can ask the king
And I'll say the same thing
And it's a funny thing
Should we go outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are you interested
And as I said
I slept as though dead
Dreaming seamless dreams
Of lead
When you go away
I am big-boned and fey
In the dust of the day
In the dirt of the day
And Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a white coat
And Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a broad boat
And the water! Water!
Running clear beneath a white throat
And the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles
Who know the outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are you interested
