Joan As Police Woman - Joanthology

Beautiful

imagine her and jeff's children....... bruh

A MAMMOTH 43 tracks, spanning 13 years, including two new recordings, as well as 10 tracks recorded for a BBC6 Music session, this is as expansive and exhaustive a Joan As Policewoman anthology as is possible.For die-hards, the BBC album and new tracks - the self-penned 'What A World', and her astonishing cover of Prince's 'Kiss', which transforms the Purple One's electro-funk classic into slow, soulful, blues - are the selling points.Conversely, these are also the attraction, and easiest entry points, for neophytes, to get a good grounding in Joan Wasser's music, which is rooted in soul, with elements of singer-songwriter (the haunting piano ballad 'Real Life'), and indie-rock ('Christobel'). Indeed the Live At The BBC album, as part of this anthology, is ideal for digesting the many sides of her abilities.The energetic 'Human Condition' is an absolute highlight, showing her mastery of, and natural affinity with, the soul form, while 'The Silence' draws on soul's protest heritage, but updates that to stand with contemporary issues, making the chant of "My body, my choice! Her body her choice!" a powerful and elevating moment.Similarly, her creativity runs strong in how she re-imagines the songs of others. Sonic Youth's 'Sacred Trickster' becomes a street chant with percussion, while the furious hip hop of Public Enemy's 'She Watch Channel Zero' is turned into a compelling hybrid of soul infused indie rock and grunge.Joanthology is an epic, often daunting, adventure, but one well worth undertaking.

I woke up to the sound, the ocean waves crashing down
What a world, what a world
It's hard to take but i can't turn away
So many feelings and just like yesterday
What a world, what a world
I'm not alone, this I know
So many people look [?]
What a world, what a world
I'm so tired of searching
Why don't I, turn on the light
Been left in the dark to find it
What is wrong, what is right
Don't know what's worse, failure or success
Survival skills may soon put me to rest
What a world, what a world
I will not act like I don't understand
But how a man could kill another man
What a world, what a world
If you could hold your own heart in your hands
How would you hold it?
So sick and tired of aching
For a taste of the cake
The high just leaves me vacant
What am I, is to waste
I've done my part of making misery
There, and I owned it, it's all part of me
What a world, what a world
The answers come when I forget to ask
Riddle to riddle just take me to task
What a world, what a world
What if my fear is just a dream?
Would that make me feel less or more in between?
What a world, what a world
I've been on the bus with trouble
Looking good, chasing the bait
Now it's my heart that's dying
Full of fat, underweight
I woke up to the sound, the ocean waves crashing down
What a world, what a world

j'adoreeee !!
