I’m gonna see her live in November and the prospect of seeing this song live makes me so giddy 😭 i still can’t believe i will experience it

This song is the spiritual sequel to dancing on my own by robyn and nobody can change my mind

I like this comment

[@BikerDudeLebowski]

I just rewatched Robyn's song 10 minutes ago (live at Nobel party 2010), and thru a song or two ended up here. And then I saw your comment :)

[@richardrodriguez8526]

I agree but I also feel Lorde's Green Light also fits as a sequel, maybe this can make a trilogy lol

This version is everything! Loved this live

This is a very good twist for the song THANK YOU ANNIE

The masked musicians with Trump/Boris Johnson looking hair add a layer too.

[@piteusx8440]

Her artistry / eerie voice / musical talent remind me of Thom Yorke.

[@charlesnoguera6998]

​@piteusx8440 Radiohead is my favorite band but she reminds me more of David Bowie, Beck or Joshua Homme.

[@flaviofrancoribeiro]

St Vincent needs a disco album. Now.

[@stevebermack4307]

Glam album ("Daddy's Home") coming out 5/14/21. Can't wait.

[@redsands1001]

Its coming!

[@p42uynot59]

Albertinho I agree, she needs a disco album to try and find a calling. 😂 I see don’t see what you people see in her. She has a voice, the music isn’t bad, but her band makes her bearable to listen to for me. Her guitar skill is nil compared to the musicians I listen to. I would cross the street to hear and see her band...

[@rob7360]

This aged well

[@livelongenoughtoliveforeve1114]

This song has legendary epic status written all over it - and needless to say her voice is overwhemingly beautiful

[@rq2757]

Annie will always have the sickest guitar tone. I need it.

[@EdwardBIl]

That's her new lady guitar.

[@Sgoobrmeht]

I’m also hearing an octave pedal, and a pretty high gain amp. I want to say Soldano, only because the tone reminds me so much of Prince’s sound.

[@joellebrodeur1015]

And don't forget to use a ton of compression.

[@macmalina]

Her guitar always sonunds crazy good

[@leobewley375]

Her mastery of the guitar. It’s so awesome

[@KayZee1957]

This woman is fascinating. At one moment you might dismiss her has merely arty but there's no denying her skill at guitar, voice and melody. I used to say what was unique about John Bonham is that he would play straight where most guys would fill and would fill where most guys would play straight. I feel the same way about AC/SV. When you think she's going to do melody, she's atonal; when you think she's going to do atonal, she gives you an achingly cactchy melody.

[@p42uynot59]

Kay Zee 😂😆🤣 At guitar skill. I got old on Van Halen, Angus Young, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck, Gerry Beckley, Steve Howe, Steely Dan... This music makes me feel how desperate people are for REAL musicians again. Call me old, I don’t care. Her band is good, but this would barely pass as “techno pop” in my day. Even the Sex Pistols were better musically. 😂

[@Allex-yp6hs]

@@p42uynot59 you know, back in my day, we used to bang sticks and drums and shout ooga-booga. That was REAL music, not some whimmy-whammy on some paddles. I wish we could return to those days

[@hecanseeme8210]

@@p42uynot59 look into her other stuff. She is the real deal. This isn’t a guitar song obviously. She’s as good as most of those guys, and a riff machine. I grew up on all those people, if she had come out 20 years earlier she would be massive. Now she isn’t for everybody and doesn’t try to be. This is her most pop song, with very little guitar work so I assume the original comment was based on her body of work. Though this song may sound like a pop tune it should be noted that it is part of an honest to god concept album. Anyway, I think you are missing out if you dismiss her. Especially based on the artists you listed.

[@carlosfrancissilva4666]

@@p42uynot59 as someone who's been playing guitar for 15 years, ukulele for 2, piano for 3, and drums for 1, I can tell by the way she plays and what she chooses to play that she is definently skilled. You're comparing her to a different time that had a different style. This song is a bad example of her skills, but you underestimate her. The greats from the era you comment on where great because there was no one like them. Nowadays, skilled guitarist are more common. It's not all about shredding a bunch of hammer ons and pull offs.

[@kylerohan3841]

@@p42uynot59 you do realize that being a good guitar player isn’t just being able to play hard music right? It’s knowing that simplicity is just as good. It’s knowing that a song needs melody and noise at the same time.

[@rio985]

I wasn't aware of the show she was putting on for festivals, I only knew that she was gonna put a band together, but I never imagined that Toko would return and that this goddamn beautiful song would be rendered this way. This is such a genius take on a sad song. The fisrt time I heard it live (also my first time seeing her) I swear I was crying and singing my heart out. I couldn't believe it, I died that night. Def in my St. Vincent top five.

I need a 15 min shred from this woman. She’s so skillful but it always feels like she’s holding back the magic

[@purplerose7318]

I'm so so glad the full band is back with her!! Annie seems so much more confident when she plays with them.

[@fernandogonzalezmorales2092]

Agree

[@sannakallio3058]

Shan Coreen nah, you just can't handle a woman playing music that she has written and composed on her own.

[@purplerose7318]

Sanna Kallio what the FUCK are you talking about??!! Even when she's with the band she's playing the same music that she wrote and composed! You're acting as if when she's with the band she's playing other music. You're clearly a dumbass so shut the fuck up.

[@sannakallio3058]

Shan Coreen nah, her solo show was so much better. You just can't handle when a woman is playing alone on stage for thousands of people.

[@purplerose7318]

Sanna Kallio It's fine if you prefer Annie solo, but if you didn't know, Annie has always played with a live band under St. Vincent. For MASSEDUCTION, Annie said she wanted to "challenge" herself by playing solo and she did that with the Fear the Future Tour. But ultimately, she knew she was going back to having her band. There's no way I can't handle women playing solo - she was very good solo. I just prefer the band and I think she looks more comfortable when they're with her too. A live band is usually better than using a backing track anyway. Just compare Fear the Future tour with her incredible Coachella performance - one was great, the other was amazing. What about the fantastic performances we got from the self-titled album - amazing stuff and with her band. Cause even with a live band Annie still stands out as a fucking talented badass. So I could definitely handle powerful women. So stop posting shit under my comment you troll.

[@chalkystring]

If I could choose to be any musician, I would be Annie! She has it all: talent in spades, THE voice, intellegence, irreverence; yet she's obviously compassionate, respectful and genuinely a good soul.

Cabrit I know, I was sad FYF got axed too (Annie & Florence at the same show). If she really doesn't come back out this way until next year or later, I'll be more and more tempted to fly up to Portland to see Annie during Florence's show in Sept.

[@The_Cabrit]

Yeah, Florence and Annie on the same bill would be a great show. I'm a bit surprised that Annie is opening some of Florence's shows, but they're both great. I'm hoping to see Florence at the Hollywood Bowl this year.

I saw her live recently, and she had it smeared within a few songs. She presses her mouth into the mic. When they came back out for the encore, she had wiped it off.

[@anneother6224]

Shylene Sky Camacho I saw Courtney Barnett chewing the microphone at London last Sunday. No lipstick though. Later. St Vincent performed at the same festival. Towards the end the smear was nearly down to her chin and there were drips. What was originally accidental became a performance feature I think. She looks more feral.
