+Edward Riel If Prince is what you mean by progressive rock, then sure. It seems to me, like all the best innovators, she's synthesizing quite a few disparate sources.
+Mura Listy I hear a lot of Robert Fripp in her guitar phrasing...especially his dissonant chord phrasing and alternate guitar tunings...listen to the stuff he was doing with early Peter Gabriel...ie No Self Control, Intruder, and you'll see what I mean...although this song isn't the best example of her Frippishness..
+Edward Riel Well, this was the first song I'd heard by her, curious after her "Guitar Moves" interview, so my comment may have been slightly premature. I guess I meant the vocal melody and the overall tone reminded me of Prince; the arrangement not so much since it doesn't have that two-complimentary-songs-at-once vibe Prince somehow pulls off. Yes, absolutely to the Fripp-like quality now that I've heard it three times. Have also heard "Birth In Reverse" now (fabulous title) and that aspect is a lot more obvious as you suggest.
+Mura Listy It's good seeing an obvious Guitar guy being turned on to her..I searched, and she was asked what she thought about Robert Fripp, and she said something like "He's the best dressed man in rock," So she obviously knows who he is:) She also did a great collaboration with David Byrne a few years back...that's how I found about her..My son was listening to their CD and I said it sounded like Talking Heads but I couldn't place the album..and he was like, "No it's St Vincent & David Byrne!" Been a fan ever since...
Don't understand all the critics on here, this is bloody brilliant! Though I realize that music as art is lost on many today as most "music" is pre-fab, non-stick wallpaper bullshit - cut up and designed to give the "5-minutes and then it's old generation" nothing to think about. This is fucking art in motion, sight and sound.
I like this song too, but she's not really saying anything to think about either (Lyrically). Nothing that she's saying sounds interesting. It's just socially concious crap. The music on the other hand is quite interesting. It combines farty synths, guitars, scrubby brass, and it sounds great!
cosmogrammar When I say "socially conscious crap" I mean that it seems like your average socially conscious song. Not really anything special. I love St. Vincent, but She is nothing of a great lyricist, and this is one of her weaker tracks as far as lyrics go. Still love this song though.
Stephen Mackay Yes unfortunately ther are no BANDS like THE Stranglers nówadays. No Songs... NO energy, no lyrics, no meaning, no talent, nothin but boredom and boredom. Oh yeah and custom guitars, custom hairdos.
What a friggin joy!!!! Art combined with great music performed very well is not dead after all. And all you haters need to just shut up!! Your just jealous that you didnt think of it first!!! LOL!!! ; ) The she did with David Byrne was very cool as well!!!
Great performance, great band, brilliant artist, love the song. Got a bit of the Bowie theatrical about her. I'd pay to go and see her, and not many artist make me feel that way.
Any one who can stand next to David Bryne and make it look like Amercan Gothic on drugs or, even better, accompany Wire and make the whole perfomance look insane, well. She's got my vote.
I feel like she is a newer female Prince-type artist. Very original, nice guitar work, a little out there. I feel like these guys should get together with Manchester By Proxy and it would be INCREDIBLE!
Too much crap talk it's unbelievable... Just bla, bla and more bla, bla... Ok her guitar playing, oh the band is bla, bla, and more bla... Just fucking stop that nonsense and listen to the music guys. And if you don't like it then do something else!!
Is it just me.....or are Annie's eyed thoroughly bloodshot? She's just too cool and talented....and of course she smokes weed while writing/playing music. She's miles beyond what most musicians could ever fathom.
I'm more of a shred type of guitarist ( Joe Satriani, Steve Yai, Yngwie, etc. . . ). But I love what St. Vincent is doing. It's funky in it's own right. And Anne has a very " fresh breath " style musicianship approach. It's going to be cool to see how she and the band develop over time.
I never thought the word "yah" could sound that good.
2Chainz can :P
+pearljammer13 needs a remix comprised entirely of yah's.
just keep pressing 2
yah rules ;)
blackkey1976 Sounds like heads you win, tails they lose. Probably you are delusional. Seek help.
She s like a living piece of Art in this video
I like her transitions and how they flow back to the verses in her style of writing. And I like the bridges. It is good talented writing.
Very unique, with talent. Hope she keeps exploring the weird, the world needs it.
St Vincent is obviously highly steeped in the ways of classic Progressive Rock - you can hear it in her dissonant guitar phrasing. Love it, I'm a fan.

+Edward Riel I actually think her Birth in Reverse and Gabriel's Not One of Us are good comparisons...anyway, love her guitar skills...

Darrion Hinton "socially conscious crap"
lol. pay a little more attention.

Still love this song though.
Richard Cameron I love your picture. Phantom of the Paradise is a great movie.
Bowie.
I'd pay serious $$$ to see her do a show with Bjork.
Bjork knows better than to go on tour with this disaster.
Jer TechDeath
She is not a disaster, you !
*****
fucktard..........
*****
sorry for my careless mistake MR.Fucktard....
*****
lol yeah right mr. fucktard
She had me at "Yahh"!
Her movements are so synchronized with the music, I was entranced!!!!
+Dáfny Maria Apparently she hired a choreographer to work out moves for each song that she could do whilst singing and playing the guitar.
Reminds me a lot of the Talking Heads
Stephen Mackay Yes unfortunately ther are no BANDS like THE Stranglers nówadays. No Songs... NO energy, no lyrics, no meaning, no talent, nothin but boredom and boredom. Oh yeah and custom guitars, custom hairdos.
I love the little gasps she does between bars. She does that a lot on this record.
I love this song, Yaaaaaah!!!!!!!!
The drummer plays his hi-hat so super chill. can't stop watching.
Yup. Solid af
The greatest artist
She's wonderful.
que
digiste
That solo 2:10 ...
- Watched it like 11 times. *
@Shirley It is a solo. And a tasteful one at that.
@Shirley eat shit, she went to Berklee. Not everyone wants to sound like Marty Friedman, asshole.
The reason I listen to music is for gems like this!
Incredible!! Sounds so fresh!
What a friggin joy!!!! Art combined with great music performed very well is not dead after all. And all you haters need to just shut up!! Your just jealous that you didnt think of it first!!! LOL!!! ; ) The she did with David Byrne was very cool as well!!!
No hablen en ingles
i will allways respect women artists who do there own thing and play instruments so its all good😋
soooooo talented. Wow.
No doubt one of the best musical artists of the 2000s
she is gorgeous.
Great performance, great band, brilliant artist, love the song. Got a bit of the Bowie theatrical about her. I'd pay to go and see her, and not many artist make me feel that way.
Last time I saw Matt Johnson was on the Jeff Buckley live in Chicago DVD. Good to see he's still drumming and is back in the spotlight again.

She’s amazing!
This song sounds like what would the outcome if Of Montreal meshed with Talking Heads.
+Shane Milberger I thought the same thing!
+Shane Milberger I thought the same thing!
She did a pretty great collaborative album with David Byrne a few years back
Only just discovered St Vincent...holy shit...good stuff...how does she stop herself from breaking into dance up there :D
love her
damn this is awesome ST. Vincent rules
trance-inducing performance.
Thus is the type of art that our "music" industry has lost. Please let more people like this rise!
TD.Burleigh this music is shit. I want to listen to something i can enjoy and analyze. This just sucks.
AirSoftNation #WeDemBoys yeah, cuz this is indie rock not pop
love this band, reminds me of Prince.
Wonderful indeed
I do like her definitely
St. Vincent and Nine Inch Nails would make a good collaboration.
+TOOLosophy that is the first thing i thought when i first heard this!!!!!!yayaya
Is it just me.....or are Annie's eyed thoroughly bloodshot?
She's just too cool and talented....and of course she smokes weed while writing/playing music. She's miles beyond what most musicians could ever fathom.
I'm in love with that woman. For real.
I don't get what's so bad? I find her sound so refreshing compared to the mundane pop crap that somehow gets radio time -.-
JayGatzVFXsk8r because its seizure music. Its not good lmao
AirSoftNation #WeDemBoys Call me epileptic then because this is some fun, intensely smart shit. Listen to this any day
@@declanpayne3744 If you don't like the joltiness of this, maybe you'd like her live performance of What Me Worry with Andrew Bird
She speaks ze german: Ja!
thank you
She's awesome. Love her guitar playing.
+Richard Albert Henderson could not agree more
good pop music
I want to hate it so bad but I can't... lmfao
+hworkdedication don't know why you would want to try hate a song, but okay :)
I saw her on SNL, performing this song. Her and the band have a real showman flair.
richtiiiig gut!!
Love the choreography :)
She looked so chill playing nirvanas lithium but she's got skillz
80's Prince
+Khaliq Harrison- Bey i was hoping someone would say that
Who is here because of dan ??
Too many haters. Great song but it unfortunately doesn't come off so well live. She's still fricken awesome!!
And the fact that Matt Johnson is on drums makes it even better :)
Mara Bucher Hmmm.. I thought it sounded better live. =)
I'm addicted to the solo @ 2:10-2:19, is that on the album version?
Cool stuff! Elements of Zappa and Bjork..
I've said it before and I'll say it again...... I love her and I want to marry her. Oh, and I love this song too :-)
Get in line buddy ;)
:-)
St. Vincent is the coolest! Unbelievable live show!
A masterpiece of a song.
much better than the letterman performance!
Yeah
The girl playing the bass synth is doing really damn good
I kind of like this song, and I really do fancy Annie
I want to have her babies.
just can't, compose... thoughts are mush. she is so so beyond, thoughts. i can't, comprehended neatly... um. yah?
Reminds me of Róisín Murphy.
Excellent .... wish I could do better Bowie Interpretations on you tube ....so cool.
I get the Lori Anderson influences and she is very beautiful but an incredibly terrible singer. David Byrne must have a huge crush on her
Wonderful song, great performance, mixing sounds like everything is underwater.
she should colab with Radiohead
One of the best live performances of this song. The solo at 2:10 is perfect.
Such a strong performer...her vocal sounds distinct from the album track but just as good.
Love the "I want all of yaaur mind" part.
Hu!
She reminds me Raissa. Nice the way she plays the guitar.
Probably... i like. Yep, i like this.
it might sound instrumentall and is she a back up without the lead singer, pretty face though!
Noiseheads Covers St. Vincent | "Digital Witness"
this is going to be one of those guilty fetish bands isnt it.
*eeeeeeeeeeeee*
If I recall, she did two other songs on this episode. At the end of one of them, she was slo-mo rolling down those steps. It was very entertaining.
Damn, i like her!!
FEMININE BOWIE----------GREAT!!!
bowie was feminine .
androgynous rather
I like her with dark hair...dye it!
Why does she always look left before she says yeah? Lol. Even in her video
could someone post the Jools Holland Prince Johnny performance please?
The commercial was longer than the video and I imagine that garnered more than a few thumbs down.
Fucking love Annie Clark she's so damn good
let's all RAGE QUIT UA-cam!!!!
Do you have the "Birth In Reverse" performance from Jools' show?
She's got some major red eye going on in this video.
This chick is crazy.
And I likes it.
I'm guesing you play like Jimi
wow people are hating once again...
....CALIFORNIA.....oh no wait....
Is when does the real music start?
Shoulda had Jesse singing more on the show, how am I just hearing this now!
I'm more of a shred type of guitarist ( Joe Satriani, Steve Yai, Yngwie, etc. . . ). But I love what St. Vincent is doing. It's funky in it's own right. And Anne has a very " fresh breath " style musicianship approach. It's going to be cool to see how she and the band develop over time.
Same choreography every time 😂
She's Boss!!
pretty cool that ((the edge)) plays drums for her
lolzz. Matt Johnson rules!
Really love the song, but (this is probably on the mixers part) the song wasn't for this kind of stage
