I know it'll probably never happen because her voice has evolved since then, but my one sole wish is to see Joanna perform Flying a Kite.
I had been an avid Joanna fan for about two or three years before I was introduced to it through my friend's car stereo. I had a collection of CDs and he had a collection of CDs and at the end of a long drive in 2009, Walnut Whales came out the victor. Flying a Kite shot straight to the top of my favourite JN tunes, trading places with Emily. I couldn't believe this song had been missed! Needless to say, I was completely stunned by it. Of its ostensible innocence, of its simple rhymes, its unhurried pace. And that three-word chorus that just, well, gets me. I have wanted to hear her sing it live since.
My question to you guys is: what would you most like to see at a Joanna Newsom gig? It doesn't have to be a song. She's told a joke at a gig before now. Or perhaps you'd like her to give a clue to unlocking Only Skin. A favourite film perhaps. If every inhibition could be lost, what would you shout from the stalls?
