i've written about this video before, but i really think it's an accidental masterpiece. i love the unwieldy-ness of her harp, the way it obscures part of her face as it stands formidably between the artist and the audience. it seems so appropriate given the way the very confessional lyrics crash up against their poetic vagueness. and then in the bridge, an admission that often seems impossibly difficult to say so simply: "i was blue / and unwell". and, at the end, she seems almost about to break down, looks away, regains her composure, finishes the song, demurely thanks the audience, and leaves the stage to wild applause. i'm hypnotized by the sequence of events every time i watch it.
