Joan Wasser and her collaborators Will Graefe and Jeremy Gustin rearrange the song, which was originally based on a 6\/8 triplet-based soul ballad structure, into a more adventurous folk-jazz arrangement that she characterises as Van Morrison-like. The performance begins with indie-folk sounds, including acoustic guitar strums and soft, jazzy percussion. The groove is soft but contemporary, giving the music a moving beat. Wasser sings in a nostalgic folk-rock style that gently recalls Robert Plant&#8217;s lyrical warmth, Joni Mitchell&#8217;s vulnerability, and PJ Harvey&#8217;s heartfelt authenticity while maintaining her own distinct character. There&#8217;s a lovely musical contrast at work: the guitar creates a calm groove, while the vocals reveal a pleasant sadness. The music resides in a crossover area where loneliness meets optimism, where light and darkness &#8220;live&#8221;\u00a0together. Around 2:33, the atmosphere changes, and the piano and vocals\u00a0join in a short, Soul-inspired\u00a0section before the acoustic guitar returns, regaining the indie-folk sound and leading the piece back into its melancholy mood. Lyrically, &#8220;Anyone&#8221; is both touching and sensitive. Lines like &#8220;Anyone can see through me\/But you&#8217;re not anyone&#8221; describe the fragile journey from defensive isolation to mental openness. The song is about trust, shelter, and the inner strength needed to let someone actually see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joan As Police Woman - Anyone (The Real Life Anniversary Sessions)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h9AORzcT7qQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">photo by Judi Rosen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joanaspolicewoman.com\/\">https:\/\/www.joanaspolicewoman.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/joanaspolicewoman.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/joanaspolicewoman.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joanaspolicewoman\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joanaspolicewoman<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Anyone&#8221; by Joan As Police Woman returns in a live performance that reconsiders the now-classic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29806,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[283,1396,2838,4958],"class_list":["post-29805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-folk","tag-folk-rock","tag-indie-folk","tag-joan-as-police-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29805"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29807,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29805\/revisions\/29807"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
