#22.1 St.Vincent - Marry Me

Recorded at Hovefestivalen, Norway 2008. By www.handheldshows.com

[@mahajohn]

This Annie Clark character is going to produce some of the very best musical creations of the early 21st century.

[@GrandpaEggMusic]

good call

[@IsraelHV]

Best prediction ever

[@JR-gw5sw]

Yep

[@alexmaur8817]

Very correct

[@kayaranzanso4518]

greatest call ever

[@firstlast2023E]

Annie is an incredible songwriter. St. Vincent is extremely underrated.

[@addiejoy6779]

This was her first album as St Vincent, and yet I'm so baffled by how musically adept it already was. You'd expect someone to be just figuring things out in the beginning, not rly an expert at songwriting or playing, but listen to this!!! It is a masterpiece!!! From the guitar to the thoughtful lyrics to the interesting harmonies, this sing is so wonderful, and it just goes to show that she has spent a whole lot of time and hard work to refine her amazing talents.

[@rcpmac]

Addie Joy Mitchell she goes way back

[@Kailamptey]

She played lead guitar for the Polyphonic spree iirc. If you know them, you know that's a big technical ask.

[@MissouriRose]

She needs to put out an acoustic album like yesterday. this is beautiful

[@pampoovey6722]

That violin guy is so sincere. I remember when this dropped, oh, awww memories. Great performance.

[@bonniebubs]

i listen to this almost daily, it really makes me happy

[@kegsofvomitspit]

Cool screen name. We call my youngest daughter soflo.

[@bonniebubs]

@@kegsofvomitspit thank you! soflo has always been my nickname in my family, seeing this made me smile.

[@1gatorgurl]

I hops she puts out an all acoustic album. Truly a talent in a land full of hyped nothings.

[@Sajtbaba]

Wait 2 years and your wish will be fulfilled with a piano album. ;-)

[@alexleitch37]

"we'll do what Joseph and Mary did... (without the kid)"... now that is a fantastic lyric. What a beautiful and stunning song... I only stumbled upon this great gem searching through Sufjan Stevens clips. My Lord! There are some incredibly talented people in the world. This is heavenly to listen to. Now I'm off to Itunes (again) to spend more food n rent money legally purchasing St Vincent's music. God bless u. Alex

[@anabenitez5507]

This girl has a Grammy now :3

[@rudemotos137]

My dog is called Bob, and I sing these sweet words into his ear 💖

[@SAMcirca1987]

SO good.

[@DanielBang26]

I love how she sings bah-bah-bah-bahhhhhhhh ahhhhh in this version. Makes me feel so giggly.

[@lovecraft3901]

This was the year I was born, and my name is John! (^^)

[@magicalmerk]

cool song, thanks for sharing :)

[@razrv3lc]

Oh my god. I like her acoustic performances so much more than the studio songs. The only thing I never liked about her music was that pretty much every song wound up sounding over done for my tastes but the acoustics aren't able to get overwhelming like the studio songs.

[@nguyenchinh7349]

Funnily enough, I think her acoustic days were the most cynical days of her music. All of that soothing sounds actually satire the pretentiousness of academic art. For instance, she's manipulating with John in this song without him even noticing. I like something more straightforward and authentic like Cheerleader where she finally stood up instead of playing around.

[@matthieushuaxings]

Annie is my destiny!!

[@minpil-u7v]

better than album version. Most songs are better acoustic, of her. Dont know why but this song reminds me of Damien Rice song Cold Water. Both great songs.

[@CMG321]

There should be a "I want to be John" button

[@adz9986]

i bet her band members are in love with her

[@StaceyGroover]

Who is not ?

[@porusandesukun4618]

WHO ISN'T?

[@NaupakaNeoWeo]

i love it!

[@lorepikachu]

q bonito!

[@amberh8269]

so good!!

[@slytown]

It's not looking depressed, it's called listening to the music.

[@lumpyh3ad]

Very goood, buster.

[@sindripindri1246]

OH MY GOD

[@thura3]

I wish I never heard of Annie Clark. . . . So I could discover her all over again!

[@onenotused9327]

This gurl bleeds talent :)

[@JustCallMeFancy2]

I miss when these guys were still in her band :(

[@Meister1551]

You sure have come a long way since you first premiered these songs in Los Angeles back in August of 2006 with Mike Garson.

[@rfoleymckenna]

How is this song so fucking beautiful???

[@G4br13LD4u3r]

Lindo, Beautyfull song

[@geraldmorain3166]

Another voice lucky day

[@roxanneg1453]

I miss this version of her music.

[@rightbraindreamer]

its got some of paul mccartney playfulness in the repeat. lovely stuff

[@KelanONcamera]

i love anne clarkkkk

[@wendystevens25]

wow

[@anetola]

@mahajohn she´s also going to produce the most incredible heartbreaks

[@SahrzadInCMajor]

Another great prediction...

[@Viridianita]

si lore, esta muy super cute ^ - ^

[@jeremilone]

sweeeeeeeet

[@gbhcitybaby]

unreal

[@Guallaze]

i adore those perfect curls she has..

[@GordonWaltersBass]

i can't even.

[@un-hyphenate]

I plan on changing my name to John to increase my chances

[@7sterling]

Question: has anyone heard anything about who/what this song is about? I guess the obvious answer is it's about her, and maybe her part-time thinking on the subject. Still I feel like there might be some kind of literary reference in there, and I read some people saying on another website it's about a character on Arrested Development, which I haven't watched much, so I was just wondering if anyone had any substantial explanations to offer.

[@jenh4942]

And suddenly my name is John

[@katdino8935]

🤣 you can easily tweak "jen" to "john" we wont notice

[@johnathaaaaaaan]

my name is John

[@Turtledotbe]

and the more you do youtube, the better things you find :)

[@johndou423]

This reminds me a tiny little bit of the cardigans, it’s probably the harmonies

[@pusheen666]

Is Annie the most awesome girl on the planet? I do think so.

[@tessc.8700]

I'd love to see St Vincent and Justin Nozuka play together

[@MattBors]

John. Get on that, buddy,

[@Wildlunatic]

Cloud song.

[@howandlightning]

Dear Annie Clark, I know Covids messed with live music and all, but if you need a new beer drinker/hand percussionist, I'm your guy. I'm pretty much down with anything alcoholic (no malt liquor please), and I have my own gear.

[@colan4893]

definitely worth a shot Jeff

[@ConnorCanRead]

Now I go by my first name..

[@nadideelmas6652]
