The 80s anthem that made a four-year-old Joanna Newsom cry

American songwriter and harpist Joanna Newsom developed her musical concepts and sensibilities very early in life, long before she really began to actively listen to other people’s music. She realises that she was very fortunate to develop her own expressive style, mostly free from external influences. But there was one larger than life 80s anthem which also played a vital role in shaping the artist she is today.
