St. Vincent - The Melting Of The Sun (Live On SNL)

@@philippelevesque5223 meh. I care cuz you do. Actor and Strange Mercy are 2 of my favourite albums. SV had a few good songs, but she's gotten a bit contrived since then IMO. This new stuff doesnt do anything for me, but I dont feel bad for anyone about it.

I will NEVER tire of listening to her play guitar.

[@dikbozo]

She simply does not play enough. So very very good at it.

[@IsntThisForever]

Right. I noticed that too. The trick here is that she actually sucks at playing guitar, but she's really really really good at improvising so when she misses a note she knows when to bend it, etc.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

She eats John Mayer for lunch and defecates Joe Bonamassa.

Those backup singers were amazing. Everyone’s so beautiful. The pose at the end was ✨😩

[@jackshel]

She is so casual with that thing. So fucking good. The whole band and the singers so tight. Unbelievable !

[@galaxylucia1898]

I know people are falling in love with St.V’s performance and the incredible backup singers but just listened to the lyrics and really let it hit me just how much respect she’s giving to female performers from the past (singers and actresses). Her performance is ALWAYS stellar but the thing that has always caught me about St Vincent is her incredibly vivid and strong songwriting skills. Talk about poetry in motion. ❤

[@ChampsMusic]

Mostly what we see here is exclusive. Either we get good backup singers, talented band, extravagant looks, badass guitar skills, cute voice or unique mood, but Anne, dude, you're combining it all every year

[@gpeddino]

"St. Joni ain't no phony, smoking reds where Furry sang the blues" Great reference to Joni Mitchell's "Furry Sings The Blues" from her album "Hejira" (1976).

[@luqmxaxn]

Her music references is just amazing

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I love how she blends so many different eras and styles in her music.

[@JorgeLopezC]

One of the many reasons why I return to watch this video over and over is to listen to the gorgeous, spot-on harmonies from the supremely talented background singers.

[@whizzardblizzard5696]

Yeah, she definitely gonna get another Grammy for sure!

They gave her a custom sig model of her guitar with a hendrix style reverse head stock. Music man hookin her ass up! lol. And omfg when they all stand up at the end... Brings back memories of the funky 70 days lol.

[@jameswarner5809]

Since Music Man sued Musicvox for making a guitar with a 4 + 2 tuner arrangement, and Musicvox make guitars with 2 + 4 tuner arrangements, I think Music Man should expect a law suit anytime soon.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

@@jameswarner5809 Lol They also sued and won against earvana since earvana has nuts that are basically the same as default nuts used on music man guitars. Message to guitar people... Stop stealing shit lol. Might get sued. Just sayin... Copy right is a thing. I run a monogram shop and can't exactly profit off of putting basket ball team logos on peoples shirts... If I get caught they could take my shop away basically. Music man is a decent company though. Don't really got any ill will towards em.

[@jameswarner5809]

@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 Fair enough in theory, except 4 + 2 tuner arrangement guitars had been made prior to Music Man putting a copyright on it, so: A. Why should they have been allowed to copyright it and; B. What's stopping anyone from copyrighting the industry standard 3 + 3 or 6 + 0 arrangements?

[@jacobsgrl1]

I am loving this whole 70s vibe St.Vincent has entered

[@MattWeisherComposer]

There’s so much that goes into an act like this. It has to be nostalgic, powerful, current, SEXY, and completely en pointe. She nailed it all. I love St. Vincent.

[@MattWeisherComposer]

I put sexy in all caps because that’s what we all want.

[@johntossing624]

The most pure of version of this song, makes me cry…

[@autumnc7320]

This one makes my eyes well up every time. I love a lot of music, new and old, and there hasn't been a record like Daddy's home in a very long time. St. Vincent and the Down and Out band really did it.

[@populustremula7496]

The times we are in look so bleak that about the only thing I think that might pull us out of the nosedive is a social revolution precipitated by music (and I lived to see music do this before so I know it's possible). And out there on the fringe of wherever it is that we are headed I see St Vincent. I don't know why she elicits that feeling in me because I wouldn't normally be drawn to her kind of music but I've been captivated by her and her energy and I can't shake the feeling that she is capable of inspiring a lot of people to take us in the direction we need to go. She is a beacon of trusting your own personal creative muse and riding that wave. Thanks Annie.

[@IncompleteStrangers]

Justin Meldal Johnsen. Also played with NIN and does plenty of producing. And for any bassists out there, his signature Mustang bass he’s usually playing (not here) is KILLER. Best bass I’ve ever played.

What a fucking beast that guy is

[@danbrockettDOP]

That moment with her riffing fills on her guitar surrounded by the BG singers belting it out was magic. Lot of musical talent on that stage and Annie is the party planner that puts this all in motion. I think the 70s packaging is a bit contrived from a wardrobe perspective but why not play dress up if it fit's the album's concept? This is genuine live music, performed by really talented musicians on mostly vintage instruments and just makes all of the other stuff filling up the charts seem kind of pathetic and plastic. This performance had soul and most of the other ones you see on SNL, not so much. Well done Annie!
