I’ve been a SOPHIE fan for like 7 years now and I find this song very touching, I love still seeing how she continues to inspire artists, her memory lives on. Some of you have such sterilized attitudes towards death if you think this is disrespectful though - the way she died is haunting but also there undoubtedly is something poetic in it. I feel like the lyrics are an expression of sort of coming to terms with it, as a fan, which is relatable - that day is such a vivid memory for the fans that experienced it. Also, if you remember getting that notification, that was literally the way it was announced at first, in the same descriptive way and it honestly was a bit jarring and that description stayed in my head, too.
@@adamflietstra5492 she spoke at length about the type of music she liked and what she disliked in the music industry, something u would know if u werent just a tourist lmfao !
I found it amazing how so many listeners continue to find parallel with so many diverse artists in a less than 4 minute track. It's the ultimate praise to St Vincent so naturally encapsulate decades of sound in one song
I don't know why y'all are acting brand new... St Vincent has memorialised powerful and inspirational women, more specifically trans women, in her music before. i.e. Melting of the Sun and Candy Darling. Respecting their memories in music because she was inspired by them, not out of malice or disrespect. It's as if you haven't listened to her music
@xXDexter3000Xx it wouldn't be St. Vincent if she couldn't use her guitar. You want one artist to completely conform to the art of another to pay homage? Also what is analog about an electric guitar, with all of the distortion and effects she put on it there's almost nothing left of the strings signal and it certainly doesn't come out of the speakers as recognizably a string now does it.
I laugh at people's "offense" at Annie for making tribute to SOPHIE. when Backxwash sang "SOPHIE's gone we mourn and mourn, I’ll give my life and I would trade that (That’s facts)" on her album I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES which came out the same year as SOPHIE's passing I never heard a single peep about disrespecting an icon we lost so tragically. artists are humans too and are allowed to process grief through their art. I miss SOPHIE too, and this song is a wonderful nod imo.
I think it's perfectly fine to pay tribute to a fellow artist but she's singing "my sophie", as if they were friends. They never even met 😭 the first two lines are just cringe imo.
@@Dark_Aeonimagine having to write a song as a queer producer and as a fan of an incredible artist. I can’t imagine a St. Vincent song being anything other than this. It is a beautiful homage for a person who we appreciate apart from the mainstream.
@@LouisAmpersand as I said, it's not the tribute itself that doesn't sit well with a lot of people. It's the way it was written. Singing "my Sophie" and glamorizing, romanticizing the way she died. There's so much more to Sophie than her death. Charli did it right with "so I".
@@Dark_AeonThat's not the context of the lyric. She is not saying that she knew her by saying "my Sophie". She looked up to her as another queer artist and thought her work, life and death were profound. This is literally a non issue and Annie is doing nothing but showing respect and admiration for Sophie's work in this song.
@@TECfan1 she said in an interview that she read about Sophies death in an article and thought her death was "incredibly poetic". I think it's a little bit cringe to be inspired by the way someone died and make it a focus of the song. To me it's not a celebration of Sophies life and legacy. It's an admiration of the moment she died. Sophie was much more than her death. Again, I'm not saying that doing a tribute was wrong but it's valid to criticize it just like any other song, if it's done poorly. It's not exempt from criticism just by the virtue of being a tribute. It's just a bad song IMO.
this is mindblowing tbh, like easily the most progressive pop song I’ve heard since Caroline Polachek’s Billions 🥹 and as for the lyrics eulogizing Sophie? they’re heartfelt and executed with care imo, people should honestly chill out a bit!
Y’all literally need to calm down… let’s think rationally- she surely did not have the intention of offending/disrespecting Sophie… why would she… Jesus… she just.. wrote about it, she’s an artist😱😱😱 It’s only one line and it’s not even that deep
some of y’all are overreacting. it’s obvious that wasn’t her intention.. sophie is just amazing. i miss her everyday. what a loss in the music industry and art world 💔
By the 7th song i wrote a friend, -this album sounds like glory-. Those minimalistic videos are incredible. A regression necessary to catch this real present. Beautiful.
I don't know where the Monicker "Sophie" came from, but to call her "Anne" is justified. Anyway, for me, she's best as she's right now. She's a multiple-polyvant-great-artist, in music and in arts, and she's my discovery 2024 ! How could I ignore her all the years before ?
welcome! I'd recommend to listen her whole discography from start to finish so start with Marry Me and also don't skip her album she made with David Byrne, Love this Giant. If you start at the beginning and end with the current album you see/hear her development sonically and as an artist. I feel this album is a culmination of everything she has made before
@@jolijnboland3333 Thank you for welcoming me to the community, @jolinboland ! As I expressed it before, ST.VINCENT was something completely new for me, when I discovered her last weekend. And I still do not understand why. Now, since I've read about her carriere and history. I should have heard her and about her before ! Anyway, the collaboration with Byrne, I listened to it and found a great LIVE where they both play this Album accompanied by a huge brass section. It was from 2013 and a Show on French Television ("Album De La Semaine"). Marvellous and extremely good ! I'll dig further into the past of ST.VINCENT, that's for sure. She got me now ! And I have to admit, she also looks good in Blond !
Sophie isn’t supposed to be her name or nickname, it’s the person st Vincent is singing about, Sophie was an artist and music producer who sadly passed away in 2021. This song is about her.
@@cyberangelxcx Thank you @Cyber for this information ! I appreciate to learn it ! Do you happen to know the fullname of this Sophie ? I'm eager to hear it.

The song is a tribute to the amazing producer SOPHIE who died in 2021. Some people find the lyrics in the first verse that are tributed to SOPHIE as offensive. A lot of the criticism comes from people who only saw that first verse
Our sins consume us like fire they darken our soul let us repent and turn back to the truth including annie clarke before our time runs out in this world
"No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Luke 16:13 It's very sad to me how the light has gone out of Annie's eyes over the years.
actually “in her head these lyrics sound cool” describes all Billie eilish songs. Oh wait she doesn’t even write those 😂 not everyone has a big brother that writes and produces everything babe
But please let me express a wish. I read people calling her "Sophie" or by another name. I deduce she must have already had several artistic lives. May this one, the one right now when I discovered her, last and linger on !

@@feileacansporesI’m not sure what the problem is either.. my guess is the people thinking St Vincent is doing something disrespectful don’t know her music that well and are misinterpreting her.
@@username-v7u I suppose I can understand your discomfort, but honestly, as someone who likes to dabble in poetry and songwriting? I understand when Annie says there is something so painfully poetic about the way SOPHIE died. She was trying to get a better vantage of the moon and in doing so unfortunately died. She is memorializing a great artist trying to do the most human thing possible - trying to transcend and reach beyond their own existence and convey that to everyone else. Maybe you’re bothered by how objective she was being, but I really think there was tenderness in there. (This next part is not directed at you) And for anyone who says Annie was capitalizing on SOPHIE’s death? Get real. This is not a radio hit by any stretch of the imagination. So I don’t understand how she is capitalizing. She is merely paying tribute to how fragile and beautiful human beings can be sometimes through someone she admired from a distance.
@@feileacanspores i appreciate u for seeing my point of view and i totally understand yours and like i said i know annie wouldn't have meant anything bad and i find it nice she payed tribute to sophie i just feel like it could've been worded better since everyone these days is a little sensitive including me lol
@@onesalivabubble I’m honestly more bothered by your sterilization of death as someone else put it. We all die at some point, might as well incorporate our feelings about it into art. And stop pretending you know what Sophie’s reaction would have been to being memorialized like this. But I bet if she could somehow come back just to let us know she likes or at least doesn’t mind the tribute, you would still choose to die on this hill just for the sake of it.
@@xXDexter3000Xx and what methods are those exactly? And please stop trying to allude to some sort of fictional drama you made up in your head unless you have actual proof. Not a good look.
@@feileacanspores i didnt allude to any fictional drama, thinking little of another artist is not drama. and the methods sophie looked down on were using analog instruments instead of software synthesizers which is exactly how st vincent got famous.
@@xXDexter3000Xx so…you’re telling me that….Sophie looked down on musicians who used *checks notes* actual instruments instead of only digital synthesizers? I find that really hard to believe and if it is true, well I’m sorry to say, but it was very elitist of her and in such a weird way. Saying Annie Clark doesn’t deserve to reference Sophie’s name in a song because she chooses to primarily explore her sonic landscape with guitars and other instruments instead of purely using synthesizers is a ridiculous claim. Did it ever once cross your mind that maybe Annie got inspired by the potential that Sophie seemed to draw out from synthesizers? That it made her excited and wanting to make an homage to such an incredible talent? No, of course not, because you were too busy gatekeeping with your strange little qualifiers. A musician can be extremely talented with or without having to purely rely on digital synthesizers. And I don’t think you would convince many people otherwise since all you’re peddling is a bizarre kind of elitism.
@nicholasjj0 she’s exploiting someone’s death with maniacal vocals you’re not gonna flip it any other way I get it you’re a fan but stop being toxic for the sake of being a stan like wtf?
@@FullCircle11 lol cute little buzzwords you’ve got there. Mind if use them too? The only toxic people in these comments are the Sophie stans who came to this video just because outrage is a fun pastime for y’all. Stop pretending you know how Sophie would have felt about this tribute and lay off. The lyrics are not disrespectful and neither is anything about the song itself. I mean Jesus Christmas, you’re acting like she’s gloating about her death or something, which says a lot about how much you had to read into this song in order to convince yourself to go along with others and be upset over a nonexistent issue. Also, exploitation is a really silly accusation considering this song is not likely going to be a top hit (as disappointing as that is) and maniacal vocals to you are a really banging stylistic choice to me. Everything about this song is a breath of fresh air and it’s a pity you’re too blinded by your own self imposed rage to see that.
@@FullCircle11Only toxic stan behavior here is yours, my friend. You’re acting like Sophie’s gonna come back from the dead and give you a cookie for defending her. It’s creepy and gross.
@@Cleromanticon what’s creepy and gross is gaslighting people about the problem and turning it around on them, totally low and immature yet here you are setting the bar lower than I’ve ever seen.
The lyric in question was, and I quote “my god, then one wrong stair took her down to the depths.” IT WAS ONE LINE. I fail to see the detail here. My suggestion? Get over your virtue signaling because there are other things that actually warrant outrage in this world and you’re choosing to be mad about one line in a song that wasn’t even detailed or disrespectful.
Disagree. The irony here is that I think St Vincent chose that name from the lyric "And Dylan Thomas died drunk in St. Vincent’s hospital" from Nick Cave's "There She Goes, My Beautiful World"
@nicholasjj0 she didn’t even fucking know her? What right does she have literally RECOUNTING her death as if it’s beautiful- she fell and cracked her head open? Fuck this
Already got my tickets for the September show in my area :) :) I appreciate Annie doing these little segments for the Official Audio TY vids, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want some actual videos for any of these songs. Sure I can stare at that pretty face all day but the shorts have been real interesting and these kind of have not. At least to me. YMMV. Maybe they are growing on me as I listen to the album more, but I really dig her past videos and am really looking forward to some mass visual stimuli to compliment the activity provided by the songs. And before the art snobs chime in, I get it. Minimal visual to counter point the busy audio. Sure sure. But I want some videos. :) :) ;) I also wouldn't mind owning one of those Music Man Goldies. I just don't have and wont have 3k to drop on a guitar for at least another year, and that's only if life doesn't happen between now and then. (No I don't want a Sterling. I have a small fleet of 1k and under guitars already. No interest in buying another guitar unless it's gonna be a "step up." And in my experience I've not played a high priced guitar that I've felt the improvements vs the "economy" models are worth the exorbitant amount of extra money. Locking tuners and a set of pickups aren't worth thousands of dollars. Especially when a some of the "economy" guitars are starting to include locking tuners, and even stainless steel frets.) Sorry to get all guitar nerdy. I'm enjoying the album. I just want some video milk to go with my cereal songs.

I am too. St Vincent makes people abnormal.
incredible song ! when she sings this "you’re a natural baby you don’t have to quit" I remember a little queer by Garbage
I’m so glad you mentioned this because her song “Flea” also reminded me of Shirley’s vocals for “Sometimes” ✨
My favorite thing on the album so far. Thank you

At 2:43 she goes full Brian Eno and it is one of the best things I've heard this year.

@jamergrantduggan373 - IKR! It's like the internet doesn't know the meaning of the word homage.
Not only that but the lyrics "my sophie" (and "my danny") mirror how she paid tribute to the women to whom the melting of the sun is dedicated.
@@antonharmacinski276 no homage to sophie would feature guitars bc she was adamantly against using analog instruments in her music

don’t see any disrespect. just a few people deciding they want to bitch about a non issue
st vincent isnt worthy of saying sophie’s name
and you’re not even worthy of being in this comment section judging by how painfully inaccurate your statement is
@@feileacanspores sophie literally looked down on people who made music using st vincents methods, theres a reason sophie never once mentioned her.
@@xXDexter3000Xx and what methods are those exactly? And please stop trying to allude to some sort of fictional drama you made up in your head unless you have actual proof. Not a good look.
@@feileacanspores i didnt allude to any fictional drama, thinking little of another artist is not drama. and the methods sophie looked down on were using analog instruments instead of software synthesizers which is exactly how st vincent got famous.
@@xXDexter3000Xx so…you’re telling me that….Sophie looked down on musicians who used *checks notes* actual instruments instead of only digital synthesizers? I find that really hard to believe and if it is true, well I’m sorry to say, but it was very elitist of her and in such a weird way. Saying Annie Clark doesn’t deserve to reference Sophie’s name in a song because she chooses to primarily explore her sonic landscape with guitars and other instruments instead of purely using synthesizers is a ridiculous claim. Did it ever once cross your mind that maybe Annie got inspired by the potential that Sophie seemed to draw out from synthesizers? That it made her excited and wanting to make an homage to such an incredible talent? No, of course not, because you were too busy gatekeeping with your strange little qualifiers. A musician can be extremely talented with or without having to purely rely on digital synthesizers. And I don’t think you would convince many people otherwise since all you’re peddling is a bizarre kind of elitism.
Her music has been trite for a solid 6 years now. Es una lastima.
What? Daddy's Home is a masterpiece.
@@d-5037 agreed! I think Daddy’s Home and this record have some of my favorite songs Annie’s ever recorded (this one included).
she's never even met Sophie what a joke
@nicholasjj0 she’s exploiting someone’s death with maniacal vocals you’re not gonna flip it any other way I get it you’re a fan but stop being toxic for the sake of being a stan like wtf?
@@FullCircle11 lol cute little buzzwords you’ve got there. Mind if use them too? The only toxic people in these comments are the Sophie stans who came to this video just because outrage is a fun pastime for y’all. Stop pretending you know how Sophie would have felt about this tribute and lay off. The lyrics are not disrespectful and neither is anything about the song itself. I mean Jesus Christmas, you’re acting like she’s gloating about her death or something, which says a lot about how much you had to read into this song in order to convince yourself to go along with others and be upset over a nonexistent issue. Also, exploitation is a really silly accusation considering this song is not likely going to be a top hit (as disappointing as that is) and maniacal vocals to you are a really banging stylistic choice to me. Everything about this song is a breath of fresh air and it’s a pity you’re too blinded by your own self imposed rage to see that.
@@FullCircle11Only toxic stan behavior here is yours, my friend. You’re acting like Sophie’s gonna come back from the dead and give you a cookie for defending her. It’s creepy and gross.
@@Cleromanticon what’s creepy and gross is gaslighting people about the problem and turning it around on them, totally low and immature yet here you are setting the bar lower than I’ve ever seen.
Malicious or not, detailing someone's death in your song is disrespectful!
The lyric in question was, and I quote “my god, then one wrong stair took her down to the depths.” IT WAS ONE LINE. I fail to see the detail here. My suggestion? Get over your virtue signaling because there are other things that actually warrant outrage in this world and you’re choosing to be mad about one line in a song that wasn’t even detailed or disrespectful.
Great song. One of ten great songs on the new album. Long may Annie be the fearless ARTIST that we need!
By that token we'd lose a lot of great songs.
Disagree. The irony here is that I think St Vincent chose that name from the lyric "And Dylan Thomas died drunk in St. Vincent’s hospital" from Nick Cave's "There She Goes, My Beautiful World"
Oh that’s not-
Is she fucking serious?
Is this song about a couple of influential LBGTQ+ people? Yes, yes she is fucking serious.
@nicholasjj0 she didn’t even fucking know her? What right does she have literally RECOUNTING her death as if it’s beautiful- she fell and cracked her head open? Fuck this
Yikes… weird way to memorialize her. This is a miss. Sorry.
THIS IS ASSSSSSSSSS
NO YOOOOUUUUUU - a stupid comment deserves a stupid response
@@feileacanspores🤫🤫🤫🤫shhhhhhh
gross
Felonie stan ijbol
@thatpopplio9 geerl wrdgaf, this song should be deleted and sophie should REST IN PEACE
@@thatpopplio9doesn’t mean this isn’t wrong…
@@4myaeimagine if nobody was allowed to release tributes to musicians that inspired them. Like a quarter of the grunge repertoire wouldn't exist.
@@thatpopplio9Poppy and Pokémon in one username? I can’t 😭✨
this is the worst song ive heard in a while lol
And this is the worst take I’ve seen in a while, but go off I guess
womp womp
cry about it 💀
Already got my tickets for the September show in my area :) :) I appreciate Annie doing these little segments for the Official Audio TY vids, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want some actual videos for any of these songs. Sure I can stare at that pretty face all day but the shorts have been real interesting and these kind of have not. At least to me. YMMV. Maybe they are growing on me as I listen to the album more, but I really dig her past videos and am really looking forward to some mass visual stimuli to compliment the activity provided by the songs. And before the art snobs chime in, I get it. Minimal visual to counter point the busy audio. Sure sure. But I want some videos. :) :) ;)
I also wouldn't mind owning one of those Music Man Goldies. I just don't have and wont have 3k to drop on a guitar for at least another year, and that's only if life doesn't happen between now and then. (No I don't want a Sterling. I have a small fleet of 1k and under guitars already. No interest in buying another guitar unless it's gonna be a "step up." And in my experience I've not played a high priced guitar that I've felt the improvements vs the "economy" models are worth the exorbitant amount of extra money. Locking tuners and a set of pickups aren't worth thousands of dollars. Especially when a some of the "economy" guitars are starting to include locking tuners, and even stainless steel frets.)
Sorry to get all guitar nerdy. I'm enjoying the album. I just want some video milk to go with my cereal songs.
I LOVE this beat.
