Newsom, Joanna - The Fray Lyrics

Bottom of the ninth inning
At which I drive straight through the crowd
First, it was what I call “quiet”
and then it was Biblically loud


You should have seen how they tumble
You should have seen how they danced
You should have seen them all luscious and lean
As they flew by the seat of their pants


It was not the boiling frustration…
It was not that I cannot care less…
It was not the face of that reverent place
in a horrible state of undress


I moved in a way I call “mindless”
I flatter myself a move true
I carved out a “J” in the spectators’ fray
because that’s just a thing that we do

Yes, I carved out my name
In the ninth of the game
‘because that’s just a thing that we do.

she makes my heart happy and whole. the fear creeping on this day is quickly banished with the sounds of her harp and song. Thank you Joanna

Wow! Amazing. Thank you!

Walnut Whales is an amazing thing. Joanna's voice is such a beautiful thing, while some people might not enjoy it as much, it's something that, once appreciated, is beautiful. Even in this raw, unedited version, I can't help but tremble at the innocence in her voice. When paired with the way she beautifully phrases her melody to match what she wants to say, her voice/harp combination is something that is truly unique.

This is peaceful

I do love this part of youtube. No-one has compared anybody else to Hitler or told anyone to kill themselves. There is just appreciation of music. I think i'll stay here for a while

All is healed. All is forgiven.

The most charming thing in the universe.

@Uktrayf yes, I did!

It's from her self-released EP Walnut Whales. I love it too! I hope one day she re-releases all of them. Her harp playing was so more intricate Bach then, seeing as it was all she had to work with. Nevertheless I adore her.

huh..where's that song from? it's soo beautiful. her voice sounds pretty "early" =) that's not one of her newer songs, right?

the first pic is soo adorable

@latronqui you have the best dance lessons

@opalshuman me too i didn't even know it existed until you favorited it XD!!!!!!!!!!

i love this song so much

I wish her self-released songs were available to buy... :( I love her!!

uh........... she sounds better live

I have heard her live. I think this quite good.

thank you!
I've been looking for this song for ages but I didn't know the title, it's just a song they play in my dance lessons and I loved it.
