Lyrical Genius

I really love Joanna Newsom's lyrics, as they're always bursting with imagery and meaning. My current fave is her song "Time, as a Symptom". This line always hits me hard, because it's a reminder that even when you hit hard times, the good things you experienced were still there and still live on in you.

The moment of your greatest joy sustains:
not axe nor hammer,
tumor, tremor,
can take it away, and it remains.
It remains.
