Newsom, Joanna - The Book Of Right-On Lyrics

that bass and harp tandem has some serious swagger goin' on. This would the first tune to learn if I ever took up harp.

Who else found this song from Mtv back in 2007

Hurt everybody

I killed my dinner with karate

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

16bit remix of this is amazingly good

One of the best songs for art school girls working in the studio in the middle-of-the-night, back in the day. Brings back great memories. Hope young artists are still listening to this muse.

I'm here from shine on from logic

My favourite JN song! Still as fresh as when it was first released. :)

Amazing!

Well now I must say this music is not like all the other music out. At times that's a good thing who wants to hear all the same music all the time not me great original art wonderful.

And the book I write on it was right on I like that line great stuff.

16 bit just brought me here! And I am glad to find this master piece. Wish 16 bit continue producing master pieces too 😔

Annoying affectation

I LOVE THIS SONG

Great song, great album. Come back to Australia! :D

She isnt gonna let you inhale her asscrack bro

We should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on
We should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on

I killed my dinner with karate
Kick 'em in the face, taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do
Do you want to sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able
And you do say oh oh
That you do pray oh oh 
And you say
That you're ok

And do you want to run with my pack?
Do you want to ride on my back?
Pray that what you lack does not distract
And even when you run through my mind
Something else is in front, oh, you're behind
And I don't have to remind you
To stick with your kind
And you do say oh oh
That you do pray oh oh
And you say
That you're ok

And even when you touch my face
You know your place
And even when you touch my face
You know your place

And we should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on
And we should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on

heheh pogo sampled this

who is here because of a spiritual connection?

Whoa! The lyrics

Logic - shine on
I’m the only one here from logics mixtapes...

No youre not;)

Little Johnny Jewel unplugged, and done by a Faerie. <3

Logic yeah boys

I love to come back to this song every once in a while. It makes me think of being 16 and playing this in my first car on a mixed cd that had some good Joanna newsom, cocorosie, and Dresden dolls.
I love her voice so much. Joanna newsom forever 🍀

Cuando yo iba en la escuela primaria mi hermano traía a sus compañeros del CCH a beber a la casa. Una vez vino un sujeto al que le decían kurt Cobain, por que era identico al músico, y se tuvo que quedar a dormir en nuestra casa. Para dormir puso un disco de joanna y conocí el cielo con su arpa y su voz, actualmente tengo 22 años.

Logic : shine on

1:24 - XXYYXX - Lay Down

I am here from 16 Bit- shallow this is very beautifully redone and mixed . She would be proud

Joanna Newsom's music is the world's strongest natural antidepressant

am I crazy or she sounds a lot like Björk?

this was my first joanna newsom song! still so good after all these years

Came from the Roots.

Who the fuck is here because they liked Joanna Newsom before any of this other stuff? Damn. Kids these days.

16Bit - Shallow

HERE BECAUSE OF SUPA

Came from logic

do you want to run with my pack?
do you want to ride on my back?
pray that what you lack does not distract...

yeah i cringed at that part too

Bilb Ono because u are lackinnnnn

It took me a moment to realize that there was a dog in the picture.

We should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on is right on
It was right on

We should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on is right on
It was right on

I killed my dinner with karate
Kick 'em in the face, taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do

Do you want to sit at my table
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able

And you do say, oh
That you do pray, oh oh
And you say
That you're okay
And do you want to run with my pack
And do you want to ride on my back
Pray that what you lack does not distract

And even when you ruin through my mind
Something else is in front, you're behind
And I don't have to remind you
To stick with your kind

And you do say, oh oh
That you do pray, oh oh
And you say
That you're okay

And even when you touch my face
You know your place

And even when you touch my face
You know your place

And we should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on is right on
It was right on

And we should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on is right on
It was right on

LOGIC- SHINE ON

Loved the tune but the voice...............😕

I've been listening to this for going on 11 years now. I remember listening to this as I was just starting Highschool during a time where I was pretty obsessed with everything metal and techno. My dad was about to die around then, and I had just been dumped by my first girlfriend. This was different from everything I was experiencing and it made me happy. I love her strange voice, the harp is an amazing weapon of choice, and the lyrics are bizarre and catchy. It truly is a timeless song for me. <3 Thank you for the memories Joanna Newsom!

I completely relate it's so strange and beautiful

should listen to 16 bit remix of this it's amazing

timeless

the essence is protected

I am grateful for the people who discovered Joanna Newsom for shining an ecofriendly light on (powered by potato spuds)

Love you Joanna❤️

The Roots and Young Sinatra

i been here since the beginning

16 BIT - Shallow

16bit brought me here and I'm eternally grateful this lady's music is magical

Sarah Jarosz brought me here!

Chiaki si no te gusta verte y ya ...

Encountered this video by chance again, also had a small breakdown at the same time

Lately my life has been a broken cigarette, a spilled cup of coffee, a brokenheart..songs like these give me hope and help to fill my cup. Hope hearing this song again brings u the joy it gives me🙆‍♂️🕯🙏🏻

Azaramakeup ?

Luis Hernandez yo!! 🙋

+Alejandra León Dios, yo también :'v

hurt everybody

Here because to Willow Smith and her beautiful voice.

Willow smith brought me here with her heavenly version..... 👍🏼

cool song, thanks logic! 😝

damn logic thank you for showing me this x)

I want to like it but her voice is jarring to me, kind of like Dillon, but more high pitched

Who else is here because of logic???

From which song?

Johnny Rojas mee

Isabela Silva shine on by logic

Rx9ue what did he say

Shine on from the first sinatra

I'm here because of Logic!

Yr karate is kicken Anna Joe.

Would have to say the roots sampled this much better than logic. Either way happy I got here! 😃

06/10/16 :)

Irresistable

i love her so much

The Roots brought me here. I'm sure glad they did.

Evan Walley how so?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5fuhDhKkRI

🕯🙏🏻

Me too lol

perhaps a Bjork fan?

THUMBS UP IF YOURE FROM SHINE ON - LOGIC

Also here from Supa Bwe "my pack."

Logic completely stole the idea for the sample from The Roots. Listen to Right On by Roots..... So much more creatively used. Fuck Logic

beflygelt comparing the roots to logic is like comparing a god to a flee

i was hearing ancient china >.>

this makes me sad

Supa bwe did it better

Hugh Jassle here here nigga

Hugh Jassle facts

The worst voice ever

flowers? from engrish?

sacredgeometry ?

Ludwig Hazlitt woah that makes exactly no sense!

u need to learn how to be open to new experiences to enjoy 👍 life richer

Great song. I also like The Roots song that features a sample from this song in their song "Right On".

Amazing

I love this song!

what if she's saying "And the book I write on..."?????

+Max Washington "we should shine the light on, a light on, and the book of right on , right on, it was RIGHT ON!"...er sumthin like dat

Considering the song is called the book of right on and it clearly sounds like she is saying that... umm ok :)

that would be really cool actually

Considering I said "what if" which clearly implies a hypothetical question...umm ok
But since you apparently have the reading comprehension skills of a lemon, I'll word it differently. Hypothetically speaking, how would changing the line from "And the book of right on..." to "And the book I right on..." change the interpretation of the lyrics meaning.
I hope that cleared things up for you :)

If you didn't have the writing skills of a lemon (i.e. using incorrect tenses) then comprehension of the semantics might have been less confusing.

What you meant to say was. "What if she had said, "...and the book I write on" instead"."

Her voice is magical

Andy Sandberg is one lucky guy.

+Daft Slice samberg

+edman400 ...I don't care how he spells his name.

+edman400 And if you're going to be a grammar-nazi, it would be, Samberg. Moron.

Right on!

All talking about logic, but this was first on MTV commercial, nobody remembers =(

I REMEMBER IT

+Lori C one after 2 months xd

Harry Flashman 2007
