  • KONY 2012!!!!

    

  • 0:53 I thought I was having a stroke

  • H-E-L-P- HELP ME... HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! X

  • Music can't be a hipster...

  • she reminds me of Regina Specktor:)

  • I didn't understand this video '-'

  • Comment removed

  • @DillingerEscapeMan y thank u :)

  • jew!!!

  • @firetruckingtroll Oh fuck off you silly cunt!

  • @DillingerEscapeMan trolololololoollol and a big fuck u

  • @firetruckingtroll Suck my penis you right cunt

  • Annie Clark looks so...human in this video. Much more so than her other videos. You can actually see that she has freckles here! In other videos, she looks absolutely porcelain skinned, perfect!

    This video is so intimate.

  • Sounds like Lisa Germano's "Geek the Girl," plus beats.

  • Instrumentals from 2:10 sound a lot like nine inch nails, downward spiral era.

  • i tried to be mainstream. then i took a marrow to the knee

  • What is the video about

  • @llll148 it about how the US auto Industry is turned to shit.:) no clue 

  • @llll148 i think its about someone who died on the road, and their asking for help out of wherever they are,

  • The moog reference is great, but the wall of references is terrible. Grab a poet for describing that you're worthy. That can't be hard. Not sure that your handler is 100%, good luck.

  • It's weird when this song came out I hated it, but now like 2 years later I listened to it and I kinda like it.

  • Fuck she pretty. Fuck

  • ELLE EST TROP CHOUTTE!!!!

  • her videos are always the coolest

  • Is St. Vincent a band? I thought it was only one woman...

  • She's nothing like Regina Spektor. Her aesthetic is entirely different.

  • She's a lot like Regina Spektor

  • my mind always seems to wander off like that when im staring at something to. Juwt as long as her thought and just as strange before i snap outa it to....

  • I love the mixed meters. Convinces you of 6/8 then brings in a funky 4/4, then smacks them right on top of each other.

  • @uiop60 I love how that confuses my brain.

  • sometimes she looks like alyssa milano

  • omg she is gorg xxx

  • She looks pretty wifey to me. someday someday.

  • She looks like a Tim Burton character.

  • She is the only girl on the planet who I've ever found to be even debatably prettier than my girlfriend.

  • @RToffler Wow, that's..... incredibly hard to believe.

  • @GrantgJackson I know, I guess St. Vincent's just so bockin' pretty.

  • I think all the people following her represent folks who saw a roadside memorial and St. Vincent represents whoever died at least between 0:05 and 3:08. Whether or not she represents that person after 3:08, I'm not sure.

  • I would gladly join that promenade with her. 

  • Mind blown.

  • She somehow reminds me of Regina Spektor.

  • I would drop what im doing and follow her too....

  • St. Vincent > Lana Del Rey

  • @TheAndreBurks Nickelback > Lana Del Rey

  • This is one of those groovy songs I always worry will get ruined by a car commercial or something of the sort.

  • for some reason this music video reminds me of a bad acid trip

  • I hope the rumors about her working with Madonna are true! that would be awesome.

  • I love her almost non chalant singing. just read about her for the first time in Under the Radar. a very talented band

  • St.Vincent is one of the few hipster bands that I really dig.

  • @sergejg2 i was just thinking that exact thing....lol.

  • @sergejg2 music can't be hipster. Hipster is the mentality that "oh im going to avoid doing something because everyone else does it". music is just music.

  • @Woosee1 Hipster doesn't mean anything any more. It must have had a hundred different nuanced meanings over the last four score years. Now it's just a broad insult.

  • @sergejg2 That's because she's a really legit musician.

  • @sergejg2 hipster has become kind of a dirty word, there’s nothing wrong with liking something out of the norm, original, or opposite of the mainstream, to me that just means youre a little more individual than some peeps, and if youre not, that’s cool too. Its only really ridiculous when kids try to force it on themselves, like they have to rebel against the mainstream to be cool, and this kind of mentality is what makes a "hipster" this lady probably isnt one, shes just an individual

  • @o0LanternLight0o Agreed. I also think the fans that comment about any given mainstream artist compared to any given not-so mainstream artist are to blame for the 'hipster' reputation bestowed upon certain musicians. It's ridiculous and a bit funny because the very people claiming to have insight into great music are the ones being ignorant.

  • @GettingFisted1 hah yeah yeah, i know, why cant people just like the stuff they like and leave at that hmm?

  • Can someone explain to me the meaning of this video ? Like, the message or whatever :O?

  • @FagLouis What I get from the video is that she looks at a memorial on the side of the road and imagines all the situations of who could've died and who that memorial is for. She ends up being followed by a bunch of ghosts who possibly belong to the memorial. The lyrics "help me" can possibly express the help these dead spirits ask for after the living died unexpectedly from whatever accident the memorial possibly represents. That's my interpretation anyway :P

  • @justnastazja Oh yeah I think I get it now thanks:)

  • @justnastazja wow..thats a really qood interpretation of the video..Cudos..audience claps*

  • I... Just... Wha... What? How? ... *Flails*

  • muslim connects

    two bombs

    and bombs to the towers

    in america

  • I thought, this is promising, and then 1:00 happened and then.... what the fuck.

  • @GOLDRUSHESKIMO i'm agree, what the fuck..

  • @GOLDRUSHESKIMO what's wrong with that effect?

  • Does anybody else notice St. Vincent uses a lot of mini melodies, like little jingles, in her songs, especially during her chorus's?

  • Her music videos are nice. Indirect meanings and awesome camera angles with a touch of creativity to mix it up.

  • I heard this song was about Ice-T

  • @narozzz - I resent that, as a male listener I can tell you that behind those gorgeous eyes there is obviously a musical genius.

  • @JustifiedIgnorance - Congratulations, that means you are not "Average". Which is what I said. Take it as a compliment.

  • JANET DEVLIN WAS HERE! <3

  • Comment removed

  • In this video, Annie turns around and shows everyone her big eyes and they all freeze in astonishment.

  • Great Song! The video reminds me of the Red Light Green Light game! XD

  • Janet Devlin brought me here:)

  • reminds me of Forrest gump

  • This is unlike anything I've ever heard... Breathtaking and eclectic.

  • great song, terrible video

  • It's like the energies of Tchaikovsky and Faust were channelled into a singer-songwriter.

  • Wood, pulled, lqppq

  • The Camera "moves" remind me the video of -New Killer Star- by David Bowie.

  • @espiritrompa13 Bowie has that swag, and the camera moves like Jagger.

  • Her freckles, big eyes and red lips make me feel week in the knees

  • @VaporizerBrothers All seven of them!?

  • @VaporizerBrothers funny... her freckles, big eyes and red lips make me feel strong elsewhere

  • @landerssd innaprope lol

  • @VaporizerBrothers i know that feeeling, it's called "taking an arrow to the knee" :/

  • @VaporizerBrothers I've got 7 days in my knees, too.

  • my goodness, road reminded me of karma police by radiohead music video

  • please dont let her story turn in to another jeff buckely.

  • S - E - X - E

    SEXY!

    SEXY!

    <3 <3!!!!

  • O_O

  • i wanna dj scratch people! that would be cool

  • uh.......i have no idea what i just saw...........what the hell did I just watch?

  • Holy shit, have I been hiding under a rock? Why Haven't I heard of her until now?

  • which of her albums is best ? cause she has three and i don't know which to choose!

  • @poppycock161 strange mercy :)

  • @poppycock161 Actor is my Favorite.

  • @poppycock161 lol Try all three at the same time!

  • @poppycock161 just get them all! haha

  • It's groundbreaking because it rips off so many different great artists from the 80s. That's groundbreaking now.

  • @markjohnhiemstra Like who? If you're going to say something like that don't hide behind ambiguity

  • 1:00 changed my life

  • this and flagpole sitta. never rocked out harder.

  • WHY TBM ? I am not rofling this is boring

  • TBM brought me here

  • Okay. That's fair. But if you call everyone here an "indie fag," we have the right to defend ourselves.

  • What, did she kill and bury them all with her bare hands?

  • This isn't what I imagined for a video to this song.

  • @nineight9 Usually never is, I think. Those music video directors always have their completely own story in mind.

  • Whooaaa! Last time i checked (before Strange Mercy) this had like... a very very low amount of views.

  • Them goats be up to something.

  • well that was weird

  • very intriguing music. I wonder what she styles her genre?

  • Nice freckles. I like freckles, I do.

  • @bennymutant me too. 

  • Amazing!!!

  • pretty sure it's about paranoia and that whole "everyone is out to get me even tho that's not logical" feeling. that's what i got out of it anyway.

  • gettin' crunk.

  • This is pretty shit.

  • @PopeWithDaScope You're pretty shit.

  • @XDRory Ooooo, that was so much burn you just torched my house. Seriously, this shit is only for indie fags who want to appear cool and interesting. It is terrible as music and and a song.

  • @PopeWithDaScope I'd rather listen to this song than listen to anything by Slipknot. Slipknot is nothing but a gimmicky band for drooling, knuckle dragging, mouth breathers.

  • @PretentiousHousefly I actually agree with you to some extent. I don't listen to Slipknot that much. I'm more a Led Zep/Iron Maiden guy but I listen to and appreciate everything from blues to electronica to Debussy. At least if I want I can mosh my face to Slipknot but this sounds completely shit to listen to. It just annoys me.

  • @PopeWithDaScope OR, ok, OR, this might be a little bit hard to understand, maybe people listen to this because they like it? Or because they want to hear something different? I mean, God forbid we actually disagree with being called indie fags because we express our opinions on a song that has some originality to it. If you don't like it, fine, but I don't see why people (like you) have to go and actually call something shit and expect everyone to just sit there and be ok with it.

  • @XDRory I never asked for an argument, I was just, how did you put it? Just trying to express my opinion on a song, as are my rights. I believe it was you who started this.

  • @PopeWithDaScope By posting that "This is pretty shit" comment you started it and pretty much asked for an argument. This is the internet, you just don't post those things and not expect people to respond in some negative way.

  • @XDRory No, I never asked for anything. It was you who chose to reply to my original comment. It was your choice alone.

  • @PopeWithDaScope Yes, I did choose to reply to your original comment. That's because it's a comment that asks for trouble; posting "This is pretty shit" on youtube videos isn't usually going to be good. And as others have mentioned, even if your original comment wasn't going to cause a negative reaction, your "indie fags" comment certainly does.

  • @XDRory It's irrelevant what my second comment was in relation to initiating an argument when it is the initial comment that is responsible for (apparently) attracting a fight, and leading us to the stupid situation of having an argument about having an argument. Problem?

  • @PopeWithDaScope Ooh, nice fancy wording you used there. Unfortunately you've still failed to recognise the fact that posting "This is pretty shit" on a YouTube video is going to put you in this sort of "stupid situation". Your second comment may not have been the one that kick-started the argument but it certainly didn't help, either.

  • @XDRory Just like how you're not helping now by keeping this argument going.

  • @PopeWithDaScope I'm all for stopping if you are. Which you seem to be. Good. Yay.

  • @XDRory Fuck you, last word.

  • @PopeWithDaScope Oh, come on. We were doing so good. I even kinda respected you for wanting to stop. All respect was lost with that last word comment. Why...

  • @XDRory Sorry, my bad, that was immature. Going now. Maybe.

  • @PopeWithDaScope I think you asked for an argument when you stated "this song is just for indie fags who want to appear cool and interesting." Posting that comment under a music video which over 600,000 clearly wanted to watch and at the very least 3,000 people really enjoyed is definitely asking for an argument.

  • @thatblondguy33 You know what else I didn't ask for? Your opinion.

  • @PopeWithDaScope Man, chill out. Why are you hating on everyone here?

  • @thatblondguy33 I'm not, I only stated my opinion and now everyone has started on me. Hence the rage/hate.

  • Hey, this song is amazing, BUT LIVE, IS JUST SIIIIIIIIICK PEOPLE.... go and watch them!!!!! I was expecting a lot, but instead I got WAAAAY A LOOOT

  • i'm not often one for declamatory statements, but this is probably the best record i have ever heard.

  • those eyes are killing me!!! and I ♥ it!!!

  • Talking Heads ?

  • Wow wow wow...

  • So was she dead the whole time?? awesome song by the way

  • Those guitars at 2:12 are the most beautiful sound I've heard...

  • Like a collaboration between David Lynch and Laurie Anderson.

    In a good way.

  • @MrGjcannon umm yeah no!she wishes she was laurie anderson.I dont about david lynch thou??

  • @mrbouttabubble if you ever see Annie Clark live, you'll know she doesn't "wish" to be anyone else. She is in a league of her own. Mortals can't compete.

  • @MrGjcannon

    Throw in a GIANT helping of Kate Bush and I might agree.

  • @MrGjcannon I'm just glad people know who Laurie Anderson is.

  • it starts off okay and then at 0:54 it gets amazing!! :D i love this song is so different from what i normally listen to it rocks!

  • this song is... i can't explain. I'm hooked tho

    

  • This is some sexy crunchiness

  • an explosive song, it begins too boring, then it's pretty fucking awsome

  • she is so pretty

    

  • almost industrial

  • @zoooooopopo - Daft Punk jams with the Mothers of Invention. That's what I get.

  • she's beautiful

  • Impressed.

  • her best song. Just. Wow

  • Goat <3

  • all are helpless against the glory of Annie...all praise to the Hypno-Annie

  • wow who or whome ever directs her music videos, freaking amazing work

  • dudecomon.tumblr.com

    

  • Can't. Stop. Watching. This. Video.

    Who knew a family stranded roadside could look so fucking creepy. Also, goats.

  • I just came back from the Webster Hall show in NYC. She kicked ass! She closed her set with this before the encores. When she ended with "Your Lips are Red", she jumped off the stage and body surfed the crowd! I was at the foot of the stage and if she jumped to her left instead of her right I would have been the first person to "pass her back"!
