You Should Listen To A Lot Of

I Can Understand Someone Not Liking The Voice Or The Songs.

I Didn't Really Know A Lot Of The History When I Was Younger. I Didn't Realize That The Harp Is Coded In Such A Specific Way In Musical Circles. It's Kind Of This Society Instrument Because Of Its History As A Young Woman's Parlor Instrument.

My Voice In Combination With The Harp - Which, By The Way, I Use Because I've Played It My Entire Life, Not To Make Some Statement About The Harp - Somehow Has ... Coloured People's Interpretations Of The Music And Projected An Idea Of Childlike Or Fairytale Quality Or Innocence. Which Sometimes Prevents People From Listening To The Songs The Way I Would Like Them To Be Listened To.

I Recorded Harp First Or Singing First. I Recorded It All Together. Part Of The Reason Is That I Don't Know How To Play The Songs Without Also Singing. I Forget How They Progress. I Don't Think That Any Of Them Are Verse, Chorus, Verse, And So On. They Are Not Simple.

The Very First Walnut Whales Recording Was Recorded Just A Few Weeks After I Had Started Singing, Out Of The Blue, Started Singing. And The Voice, You Can Hear How Uncomfortable I Am With It, And How Terrified I Am With It.
