    I'm living away from home for the first time. I just found out that my grandma had a stroke, and it's just my Mom taking care of her. I wish I could be there right now to be with them. I always listen to this song when I get really tired from life, and pretend that she's singing this to me. I wish I had a big sister like her to watch my back. When my Dad was in prison, I listened to this all the time. "Our father in exile for God only knows how many years." I always thought of him. This whole song makes me think of my family, especially the part about "the dirty policeman who ruffed you up." I can't help but think about the footage of my Dad getting arrested. Or that time a policeman pulled us over, and yelled at my Dad when his car window wasn't working. And I can't help but think of my actual sister who wasn't around while any of this was happening. I'm just so tired right now...

    Once in a concert at Mexico city, i was dancing so hard, while I was standing right in the middle of the crow (so I could listen the complete stereo experience), jus a few meters In front of her. I was the tallest guy, so she looked at me with her powerful look, and smiled me four times.

    need a vinyl pressed of all her acoustic tracks, I enjoy them as much if not more than the studio versions. Speaks to the voice and songwriting qualities I think.

    I am constantly floored by the idea that I and only 2,051 - as of this writing - have seen this video despite the fact that she is so good. It's similar to St. Vincent's other videos. Pure blinding shame, really. St Vincent is so good, I wish for more people to see it and discover what music is capable of.

    St. Vincent was born Annie Erin Clark in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her parents divorced when she was three years old; Clark's mom is a social worker and administrator and her stepfather works in corporate tax administration.
    Music was Annie's principal obsession from an early age. She told The Guardian: "I was a 10-year-old fan of Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and I would've got into a fist fight defending them. Art mattered"
    LyRicS
    Oh, little one, I know you've been tired for a long, long time
    And oh, little one, I ain't been around for a little while
    But when you see me, wave
    Oh, little one, your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
    Our father in exile
    For God only knows how many years
    But when you see him, wave
    Through double pane
    I'll be with you, lost boys
    Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
    Oh, little one, I'd tell you good news that I don't believe
    If it would help you sleep
    Strange mercy
    If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
    No, I, I don't know what
    If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
    I'll be with you, lost boys
    Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
    Writer/s: Anne Clark

    I mean it's all about her vocal performance, but I do wish the guitar was a little louder. The artistry of her performance when she plays and sings on the classical is so intimate & MAJESTIC. that's my favorite St. Vincent. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SEEN IT TO POTENTIALLY OR AT LEAST THINK ABOUT LEARNING THESE HERE CHORDS CAMERA MAN PULL OUT PAN DOWN DAMN.
