I know every word of this song by heart. :)

Joe Armstrong

No one sings the word "darling" better than Joanna Newsom

EtAnimo

There's also a Stevie Wonder song, "Signed Sealed Delivered", that might also be a piece of the puzzle. There are several references to actual songs throughout GIPC, so she might be alluding to his song too. Even if she isn't directly referencing Wonder's song, it seems oddly fitting for a song like GIPC.

EtAnimo

"Auld Lang Syne" is the famous NYE poem/song. It starts with "Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?" It's often a call to not let old relationships be forgotten, but of course you can answer "yes" AND "no" to that first question. "Signed sealed delivered" evokes a sense of certainty, even irreversibility. This tension between fond rememberance and 'it was going to happen anyway' seems - to me at least - to be a theme of the album.

care to enlighten such individuals? i never understood that line!

EtAnimo

I'm surprised more people haven't caught on to the "auld lang syne"/"signed, sealed, delivered" pun.

Amazing, as always

TheOdderOne

If you ever have the chance to see her live, the trombone solo and group jam at the end in general is one of the greatest non-harp/ exclusively Joanna-centered live performances in her repertoire. Really amazing.
