pro-tip: you can't

Ezra Koenig

wrong

OK I suck Vampire Weekends dick more than. anyone else but her lyricism on Divers was DOPE

That guy who won a Nobel prize.

...

the lyrics on ys and hoom on a whole other level tho

you will never go to bed with joanna newsom

Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, maybe Joni Mitchell.

But yeah, Joanna is great, but lets not all prematurely blow our wads. It'll take time to see whether or not her songs have any kind of lasting power in the way those others do.

literally anyone ever

Morrissey

The lyrics on Divers are better than HooM imo

I love the album but Kingfisher, the title track, and Go Long are the only tracks with out of this world lyrics. Maybe Does Not Suffice as well.

>no Baby Birch
>no On A Good Day
>no In California
>no Occident
>no Soft as Chalk
>no Autumn

get outtta here punk

Autumn is pretty forgettable to me, oop, but I agree that Occident is underrated.

Controversial Opinion ahoy but apart from the "The is a blacksmith...." part I think Baby Birch's lyrics are pretty nondescript. The power in that song comes mostly from Newsom's delivery and the (very minimal) arrangement. Maybe it's just because I'm slightly biased against most lyrics that mention looking or staring at the stars - it's very cliche. Unless it's Emily, of course.

I would add Easy, Good Intentions, and You and Me, Bess to that.

Funny, I thought this was mu. do you people actually care about the lyrics?

when it comes to a genre like folk, yeah. try to contain your autism

Post rare Joannas.

Peter Sinfield

Isaac Brock
Shane MacGowan
Alex Turner
or

Brian Sella is equal first place for me as best lyricist of all time, blows Joanna "nuisance" out of the water. He is only really matched by Bob Dylan.

really? niceee
