St Vincent Track by Track Commentary

[@hp123434]

"Civil rights are bitchin'" - St. Vincent 2014

[@itsoran4238]

what did she mean by bitchin…

[@schoolercat]

That statement and her space cadet persona makes it hard to take her seriously as a social commentator.

[@EVH_]

Tim Schooler Deal with it, Tim.

[@mikeandkimarecool]

Oran Ramsey like ... awesome

[@MagickFlavour]

+Tim Schooler She makes great music, but I'd have to agree.

[@Digital.Witness]

I never realized until watching this how badly I need the instrumental versions of prince johnny and DW in my life

[@mikeandkimarecool]

+Travion Turner and Rattlesnake!

[@xyloplax]

Interesting interview, but I am more interested in the instrumental versions of the songs in the background. Gives a whole new dimension to the songs. They are even more complex than I thought.

[@35TCK]

Haha. I love her. I thought, Oh the lyrics in Rattlesnake are some kind of metaphor about all these pseudo-philosophical meanderings about nature/self/technology, but then it's like oh no, she actually did all this shit. What a loon! A wonderful, beautiful loon!

[@anneother6224]

35TCK But if you keep listening after 3.00 she says that it is in fact a creation myth as well as a probably true story about a real life experience. Most of Annie's songs will be working on at least 2 levels. I don't think it is 'pseudo' anything. This is what a particularly free thinking intellectual sounds like. I love it too.

[@lisagoldman1499]

She's totally sober here. It's just her. Nothing stoned about her.

[@ChrissV234]

Man I'd love this album as an instrumental.

[@Travmann777]

So with you on this one. The one thing I really couldn't get behind on the new album was the lyrics.

[@kgenesis1]

Just what I was thinking

[@samshowalter7473]

*me listening to Bring Me Your Loves* I'll have whatever she's having.

[@youwillovercome]

"Madonna heard MY demo!" hahaha Annie's the cutest

[@BookFreakyTube]

Shes so crazy. I love her.

[@undersolo]

Met her after an early show in her career... I am so glad she has made it this far.

[@paulelliott3220]

It's a brilliant album and I've been listening to it a lot . Listening to instrumental versions, it sounds equally fantastic Should release this separately Interesting indeed - Annie is great, and cool insight into the songs

[@michelevitarelli]

so brave! you can tell she suffers for her art. a true artist.

[@boyyrebel]

"I took a bit of Ambien, to help with the jet lag." Yeah...... that's why you took the Ambien.

[@oyleday0195]

lmao she definitely hit that ambien before this interview...

[@mikeandkimarecool]

+Julian Doyle Or the bong....

[@mihaelrajh4249]

I laughed through the entire interview because of this comment

[@amberh8269]

when shes talking about every tear disappears shes so right about smiling and children learning to smile. there are pictures of me when i was like 4 and im "smiling" but it looks like im baring my teeth or something lmao

[@BonoLightier]

I've been looking for this interview for quite a while. Thank you so much for posting.

[@tvdorian]

"you're really hoping, right until the end, that it works out .... but it doesn't 🙂" tears in my eyes

[@pantallazopatucaso]

gosh i love her so much, can't wait to have the cash to buy her albums 😭😭😭

[@shneckelheimer]

Such a beautiful mind.

[@anneother6224]

Scotty Howell Truly. This neural plasticity thing. A mind can be developed or restricted. An artistic, free-spirited person who manages to keep suitable company can, it seems, shape/have shaped a beautiful mind. And this is what it sounds like.

[@soaribb32]

I love these instrumentals

[@msvalk]

the fucking instrumentals are amazing. i noticed things ive never noticed with the vocals lol

[@emile5598]

'relying on other peoples' tiny silent applause'. yes😭

[@HoodGoblin]

thanks for posting! Nit enough views!

[@tomgwerzman3644]

This video gives me hope I could rock a barrette 😂 she looks so good

[@jasonliss3173]

Well I love ya and that's all that matters !! 😍 lol you're great!

[@WillfulVisions]

5:06 you're welcome

[@seanseanseanseansean]

She was going to laugh after she said that. Somehow, she held it in.

[@waitwaitwaitgo]

where can i cop those shades? anyone know the designer???

[@Joi2049]

i'm cry

[@cosmicrancher2169]

If you see a rattlesnake at your feet, you may discover that humans can actually fly, levitate, whatever you call it.

[@fakeashell9374]

Interesting in the background

[@mauroaugusto57]

hermosa

[@pyrobison2002]

runnin, runnin, runnin

[@craigbrownell1667]

[11:11] *~> Stunned, Silent I am left at the end ...*

[@matimcdi1570]

[@halloweengf6481]

dem sunglasses

[@SpykerZaggato84]

I didn't know she smoked weed...

[@nickpagano7134]

She looks like Alyssa Milano.

[@pooch72]

Some of the ladies i look up to as a guy !

[@spastcho5345]

I wanna be her

[@tommyo.7876]

"salty Cormac McCarthy types" psssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay, Annie.

[@fromthedoor]

you been to West Texas? It isn't that silly a description of the people...

[@katianovakk]

It's a gorgeously accurate description. I loved it.

[@griffinjurisson9119]

the only recorded interview of McCarthy makes him look like a teddy bear

[@katianovakk]

Griffin Jurisson Maybe she meant the vibe of his writing and not necessarily the author himself.

[@msannthrope_2049]

When I win the lottery- I want to have a plastic surgeon give me her nose and chin. Whoa. Digital Witness is giving me Parliament Funkadelic vibes.

[@MichaelFlynn0]

can i swap skin please

[@StaceyGroover]

I wanna be Cara Delevingne ;-)

[@ezequielrivera6147]

Did she say TEXAS AAAAAHHHHH! (JIZZING)

[@TheSimulacrumAudio]

📸🤨

[@MichaelFlynn0]

there's only one country that issues teeth like that

[@colaboytje]

oh dear, is she playing a role or is she high? What a pseudo-spiritual bs. But she's a great artist. Let her music speak.

[@tonyabb32]

I totally disagree...I don't see that she is playing a role at all. Describing the genesis of these songs has to be quite difficult...I think this some really cool insight into what was going on in her head when she wrote these songs.

[@EVH_]

She's just talking with words beyond a primary level and not explaining things one hundred percent but as she talks- you know, like a real person. You're just like what she was talking about with digital witness, pointlessly submitting your opinion on someone for some sort of social merit that you're not going to get.

[@LfunkeyA]

+colaboytje what is pseudo about this? is everything you don't like or agree with 'pseudo'?

[@colaboytje]

no

[@anneother6224]

colaboytje You know how sometimes it takes a while to get into music? But then you find you love it. Well I think if you hung with what she is saying for a while you might find it reveals things about the songs and life which bring a new level of meaning to you. All of these songs work as noise but I think there really is meaning and she is trying to help us understand it.
