Who sings the song on the LG Optimus T commercial?


Search: "we sailed on a winter's day"

Why: It sounds like a little kid at first, but I don't think it is.
Answer: Joanna Newsom! Ew, that's what she sounds like? I guess I never heard her before. The song is called "Bridges and Balloons." Buy it here on iTunes.

Joanna Newsom - Bridges and Balloons
Uploaded by chloegc. -
Lyrics go like:
We sailed away on a winter's day
with fate as malleable as clay;
but ships are fallible, I say,
and the nautical, like all things, fades

And I can recall our caravel:
a little wicker beetle shell
with four fine maste and lateen sails,
its bearings on Cair Paravel

The More You Know: Horf. Remember when Joanna Newsom was in that MGMT video with the kid and those giant zombie bugs?

    i think her vocal performance has mellowed some on more recent albums.

    depending on who you ask, thats a good thing or a bad thing. i think she is sounding more confident and grown up.

    I was sure it was Yeardley Smith (Lisa Simpson), that's why I googled it in the first place. I didn't think anyone else had a voice like that.
