over the years, people have said some cool things about arjuna's songs, singing, poetry, and the like.
here are a few of the more fun examples...
"You are really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really ridiculously good." - Gooselove
"I had an excellent time tonight. Arjuna Greist is an artist. I'm tempted to post some of her lyrics here, but they don't do her justice. Fully half the beauty is in her intonations. She's as much a performance artist as folk musician. She interspersed her numbers with spoken poetry and a film she made. I was blown away. I hope she never stops creating."
- alex, after a show in Portland, OR on 10/29/01
"I was privileged to host arjuna and her wonderful mom at my house overnight...got to sit spellbound and listen to amazing music (both arjuna by herself, and arjuna and Ellen harmonizing in a haunting and soul-stirring way). Buy this woman's cd if you get the chance...you won't be sorry!!" -carolie
"Thank you so much for your inspirational book of poetry! Wow! Such passion, such emotion, such a colorful tapestry of a life well lived!" -Candace
"purchase a copy of her new EP, "some chick sings." ...Buy copies for all your friends too. In fact, buy copies for people you don't know. They'll thank you. They'll bake cookies for you, and take your dog for walks, and offer to fix your plumbing." -dave m. *
"I just thought I'd mention to you that I think you're an excellent writer... something tells me you could make a living with your writing if you wanted to. I gather you're a songwriter too? Anyway, it's always nice for me to discover *young* people who can write well! You also seem to really have your head on straight (I mean forward...you know what I mean.)Good luck to you, and keep on writing!" -Jane L.
"....i've been anxiously awaiting any kind of recording of your music for a long time ...ever since i heard you on TMP2(and i'm thrilled that song for matthew is on it- i remember reading the lyrics on the darlist and now i'll actually be able to hear what it sounds like...wow). Yay!" -Elizabeth L.
"You're pretty darn eloquent" -sally g
"I just got back from Claremont, and it is SO HOT out there! I saw Arjuna play, and she was absolutely wonderful!!! If you haven't heard her or seen her poems, they're indescribably fantastic. So, anyway, it was fun, hot, and I'm glad I went."
"I keep your book of poems by my bed to be at close reach when i need some honesty." ~*caitlin
"The cd is wonderful. I've listened to it several times already. I love your lyrics. You've got a lot of wisdom and observation to share with the world. I look forward to hearing more." -Thomas
"...your quiet, centred calm (which just oozes from your writing) filled me with total admiration in a way that not many people do." -Buffy
"Speaking of rocking, may I just say that Arjuna does in copious amounts. Like Dar, I think that she should be made an honourary Canadian. Eh." -Wesley
"the highlight of the evening was seeing Arjuna Greist perform. All I can say is...WOW. Her sultry voice gave me goose bumps! And she held her own, even though she went first, and had a string break after her first song... It was pure magic!!!" --kris
"I've just read your poem and have ended up with tears rolling down my cheeks. My colleagues obviously think I'm unhinged. ;-) Your poem is quite wonderful; I'm deeply envious of you for being able to capture your feelings so eruditely... You managed to say in a couple of lines things that I've thought, but never quite grasped completely. -David
"fabulous collection of writing" -suzi
"Just got yer CD- Really excited man. It sounds really fabulous. You should be really really proud of it." -tim h.
"Your words are honest and raw and beautiful..." -stephanie
"this Arjuna girl is amazing, no?" -mo
