This is my personal favorite Joanna Newsom album which means I hold it in insanely high regard given Ys is one of my top 40 albums of all time. This album is somehow even better. It manages to be immaculately focused and never loses steam during its entire two hour run time. Absolute miracle that this album exists, a masterpiece of both grandiose vision and deeply intimate songwriting

dewy and sun-poured daises... waking up to a mourning dove's cries... dusty porcelain dolls and cherub figures, satin robes and silk sheets... old ball masks, manuscripts of medieval fairytales, the cry of a mother goose, my mom's lullabies, birches dying during autumn and its beautiful, buttery leaves... an afternoon nap on my grandma's old couch, a baby doe being born... the delicateness and thinness of an ancient photograph, my fingers dirt with spring and earth, my ears filled with a siren's song, and in my heart love, and love remaining – through her words and her memories and her tales, this album feels like joanna's ode to love. or, perhaps, it just feels too much like the way i love... in exquisite melodies and lyrics that i could never, ever replicate... just listen to over, and over, and over again...

immersive. sounds like the texture of silk, the smell of wet dirt, seashell covering your ear with hollow oceanic sounds. this album reaches the boundless threads of time and love and lingers through the most rippling, cascading effects of music. everything is so beautifully crafted, put together like the most acute weaving. i feel deeply unworthy of being privileged enough to listen to this record. a baffling piece of art that shocks within the perfection that it is.

A 10 in my book. Over a decade later and I still feel at home in this album. So lush and inviting.

So gentle, so fragile, so delicate. It's like being invited to your grandmother's house filled with porcelain knickknacks, antique furniture, and floral wallpaper. The walls are decorated with hundreds of family photos depicting marriages, graduations, baptisms, and birthdays. The lounge is cluttered and not particularly organized, but everything you see has its own story that could be gone on for hours. You sit down on an old couch and just take it all in. The world can be a stunning place, and things aren't always as bad as they seem.

I genuinely appreciate that. I like writing stuff like these to just kind of document the imagery and feelings in my own head that come from music I like. Even though it's a very personal interpretation I find that the most meaningful connection I have with people comes through describing stuff in this manner

I’ve listened to this enough that every song has had time to grow on me, and I realise that I am kind of amazed that this exists. 2 hours of wonderful music, three discs of music that work as well together as they do on their own. Not one weak moment, and it’s all written by one person. How incredible is that?

This album truly is a masterpiece, and although art can never be viewed objectively and everyone has different tastes.. I just honestly believe everyone can fall in love with this album if they give it time. I mean, what's there not to love? This album is like an entire lifetime. It's so lush and tender but also sad and bitter.. and yet it always manages to retain this sense of acceptance, at least for me. I feel as though many songs are written with the perspective that in the end, things ended up the way they had to but that doesn't mean it's all good or that it didn't hurt. I've never come across a piece of work like this before, and I doubt I ever will again. It's such a massive album with such massive songs, both emotionally and literally speaking. I still cannot pick a favorite album of hers, they're just all so amazing.. so while I won't say Have one on me is my favorite Joanna album I can say that it's probably the one that's made me feel the most. <3

Before this album I had no idea music could mean so much to me. Any words I could write down here would fall well short of accurately describing the healing effect that listening to Have One On Me has on me. Some things are beyond the power of words to describe. And trust me, I'm well aware of the paradox that implicates given that the words on this album are such a key part of its power. Joanna, you are the greatest human being to grace our Earth in recent history. I have bought all of your albums but no amount of money could ever compensate for the positive effect your music has had on my life. You have my ear until the day I die.

Even though it seems to not be an "easy" album to get into, this is absolutely my favorite Joanna Newsom record, no doubts. ♥

I've only listened to this just once since I bought it on CD back in 2010. A triple album lasting 125 minutes is just too much of a challenge. To be honest I prefer my Joanna Newsom in shorter, more concentrated doses.
