New Sound Album | |
| Ys (2006) (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Unlike The Milk Eyed Mender which was defined mostly by just the harp (with an occasional piano, harpsichord, and steel guitar), Ys brings in a full orchestra on nearly song (except for ''Sawdust & Diamonds). | |

AnimalMotif | |
| Ys (2006) (Music) / int_59e5940e | comment |
Animal Motif: The dove on "Sawdust & Diamonds." Doves are usually used as symbols for peace and innocence, and Newsom describes the dove to be "stuffed now with sawdust and diamonds," or taxidermied. Moths represent grief on "Cosmia," and she hold a framed moth on the cover. | |

Non-Appearing Title | |
| Ys (2006) (Music) / int_67784113 | comment |
Non-Appearing Title: The title, Ys, is named after the mythical city on the coast of Brittany, France that was swallowed by the sea. The songs never mention the city or have much to do with the legend despite it taking the title. | |

Meaningful Name: Bear's name is Ursula, from "Ursus": "Bear." The song itself is a loose interpretation of the story of the Ursa Major constellation. | |

| Ys (2006) (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: Making up for the short tracklist, the shortest song on the record is seven minutes, two are close to ten minutes, and one is almost twelve minutes. "Only Skin," at sixteen minutes, is her longest song to date. | |

Grief Song | |
| Ys (2006) (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: The most common interpretation of "Sawdust & Diamonds" is that the dove is an allegory for the loss of an unborn child (possibly the same one written about on "Baby Birch"). "Cosmia" is this much more straight-forwardly, written about a close friend of Newsom's who died in a car crash while on tour. | |
