Anna Calvi - Desire HD

[DarkLionInteractive]

this is just an example of really good stuff that I'm not particularly in the mood for.... I'll be back someday

[mspratz]

@DarkLionInteractive And just how many people do you think give a 'Flying Fuck' what 'mood' you're in!!!! what a twat!!!!

[MYV382N]

@mspratz

i bet you've made some irrelevant comment somewhere so shut the fuck up. even if he said he loved it- who would give a "flying fuck" either way? fucktard.

[smikestack]

She was stout-hearted in the face of that weird audience --- they were so poker-faced, as though they'd been dragooned there as part of an "Existentialist Despair Analysis" course ----; wake up, folks, this is Anna playing for you!

[cederkuyt]

Thumbs up if you're listening this from your HTC Desire HD

[chrlskrkl]

she only wears red

[hailibuable]

this is real music.... lana del rey is fake

[billyvassi]

gah hipster music....an eye roller. Next

[Exeunt26]

@billyvassi Hipster? You ain't down with the cool cats, daddio!

[fabiomantovani80]

questa ragazza è completa... sei grande Anna!!!

[Jayakiran1]

She's got soul.

[MrThreshold2009]

Decent enough song but this is bascially a discarded track off one of The Velvet Underground's albums. She's pretty fit, though. Boner... er, I mean "bonus".... *ahem*

[gards2]

@MrThreshold2009 correct, it a velvet underground type song but still impressive, her voice is very powerful. She's fit as fuck as you said :)

[smikestack]

What a contrast between Calvi's performance and the po-faced cool trendies lolling on the floor --- if I were her I'd throw rocks at them!

[squiff1958]

My cousin.

[vnesofsc]

She's one of those artists that command your attention weather you're into this kind of music or not. Serious talent.

[fbaube]

fantastic camera direction

[PaulaJonesIII]

Can't stop replay it!

[Augurae]

It's funny, next to Suzanne Vega is Manu Katche a famous music director in France.

[GoalsTvSport]

what I liked about this artist, it's based on his artistic talent not erotic

[SirSherman]

@GoalsTvSport She's so hot!

[Danorowski]

@GoalsTvSport I'm sure a combination of them both can't hurt.

See: PJ Harvey.

[Iloveinsegnamento]

GREAT song, great video, great voice, wonderful sound, very talented lady, what more can I say lol I love it! ;-)

[JonnyBoyMach2]

Was that Suzanne vega in the audience?

[artemisiacc]

Saw her live at the Lowlands festival... she was a real disappointment, unfortunately.

[Artnizd]

siouxie sioux reborn

[jarvizcocker]

fail to see how she's amazing but i'll dl the album out of curiosity

[1morrisonhotel]

the best i ever heard !

[hav737]

What a voice!!

[Gummigrottan]

I´m stunned, she´s supercool!

[yogibear183]

modern day siouxsie sioux... fantastic.. album 10/10

[MarilynMonroe93]

..I LOVE ANNA CALVI! <3

[kassylion]

Shes a real raw talent.

Really like her and other newcomers James Blake, Ghost Poet, Jamie Woon, The XX, AllFlaws

[KoenHead]

She killed it last night on David Letterman! Simply a beautiful performance from an artist who has a vision and talent that is much needed these days. Talented musicians backing her as well. This song gives me chills.

[pursey2]

Sounds like Siouxsie.

[EyesDarkGreyLenses]

@pursey2

exactly! This was my first thought.

[djohannaIRE]

"Desire" - from Lao Tzu to Christianity, the most elemental and purist of hedonistic pleasures, a taboo feeling and word for aions, the most intense burning sensual sensation, indeed, "THE DEVIL IN ME"... Anna has captured it beautifully indeed!

[Chel5eaforever]

Since seeing Anna and the band on Glastonbury 2011 I have listened to this song nearly every day....and will continue to do so I assure. AMAZING!! Thanks for the post.

[henrydelevaux]

Très bien aux Eurockéennes de Belfort!

[jjwray5000]

THis is awfull and not believable! I like her and the song but the more i watch it the moreI not believable at all! No1 why holding a guitar or even if more hiding behind it! when she plays like two fucking chords! thats cool do as you wish but i mean come on! No fucking life between verse one and three! AT ALL!

As i said she is great but Brian eno`s latest shit is boring! so fuck him

[mspratz]

@jjwray5000 Why would you subscribe to Dominos records and then slag off one of Lawrences signings??? Are you a two faced tool?!!....P.S Your criticism was really lame.......

[scsidrum]

@jjwray5000 ....Go and see her live and you'll see she's not just a one-trick pony. She can really play the damn thing....and well. Just look around and see if there is anything out there with such originality and so young. Respect to the Eno too. Without him, there would be a lot of great modern bands scratching their nuts wondering where the inspiration is going to come from. Grow a brain y'prick!!!

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Man this is so good! *Excitedly squeezes the next person who comments*

[MrBenabrown]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs I don't know if you noticed the next person who commented, but you have terrible timing. ;)

[BeberAngo]

I would like to know how to find the lyrics of that song. I try on You tube site, but no answer!! How I can do!!

Beberango

[BeberAngo]

I try to find the lyrics of that song ! But it's not possible! Can you give me the good adress to find it.

Excuse for my english, because it's no my first language!

Beberango

[ergotot45]

I have become obsessed with this song......so much to like about it

[docrut]

Pas loin de Siouxie tout de même dans le timbre de voix...mais si sponsorisée par Nick Cave et Sir Brian Eno ça ne peut pas être foncièrement mauvais hein!

[mahatmacote]

Spotted Suzanne Vega there watching, at the start of this vid - an excellent artist

[cheekymonkeyoh]

goes anyone how old is she!??

[porschelito]

No conocía a Anna Calvi y al oír Desiré, me ha encantado.

[MonsieurLeRiche]

Coup de foudre

[nycic]

Calvi and Soap & Skin, sweet release.

[hueysimo81]

Her voice reminds me Amy McDonalds, especially in songs like "Caledonia".

[lovenpeac]

MAGNIFIQUE.....

[loupiotmia]

excellent ! et encore le mot est faible ...

[ihave19voices]

She's fucking incredible.

[ufewl]

they played this as the music at the end of ITV's coverage of the Champions league final.

I bet a few ill be asking what was that song?

[CondePad]

I love Anna

[lowertheboomscoop]

FEARLESS!!! Anna, I will join you're army! hahah I love it!

[TheWoundedRhymes]

interesting artist and sound

[curiousted]

Correction: Suzanne Vega can be seen at 0:09 and 1:18.

[curiousted]

No one has commented on Suzanne Vega sitting in the front row. The camera catches her in close-up a couple of times at 0:12 and 1:18.

[astroLV]

i really don't understand how the audience could sit and listen so steadily

[papavb]

She's oozing some heavenly beauty right here, her music is so exciting as well.

[gibbo1968]

sounds a lot like early pj harvey which is no bad thing at all,will defo be payin a visit to see her at glasto.

[minutes2memories58]

Looks good, sings great & can play guitar, reminds me of Suzi DeMarchi of 'The Baby Animals', that's some compliment.

[clacla1968]

Gonna see her live tonight! Can't wait :)

[gards2]

I'm genuinely excited by this artist

[ufewl]

Really like her, like her voice, the song, everything, she got talent.

Pity I didn't know about her earlier as I am from Nottingham, could of gone to see her.

Love her voice and style.

[ufewl]

@ufewl ha ha seems I got it wrong she is in Nottingham next month :O)

[dickyleafe]

@ufewl she's on it nottingham tonight

[Lynleyland]

I am so jealous that you get to see Anna and PJ and Doherty - I'd kill to see my musical heroes live. I am working on migrating to England. What city are you in?

[orochidase]

@Lynleyland you can only migrate if you are a bird! hehehe :D

[andrephx90]

@orochidase Migrate is used for both people and animals.

Meanwhile...waiting for a Autumn Tour date of Anna in Portugal :)

[Lynleyland]

The Goal TV Sport logo is really fucking annoying. Adverts are ruining You Tube.

Still, Anna is great.

[robmatlivingstone]

I saw a million bands like this in the 80's.

[Lynleyland]

@robmatlivingstone Like who? 

[robmatlivingstone]

That was fucking hilarious.

[daviz39]

Honestly, u're like an alien coming from outter space! Wow it's way 2 good!! I mean WOW and i mean it!

[Amellifera]

She is so powerful, so moving. Puzzling that audience seems so wooden.

[missopowers]

Like watching a volcano being born. Take us to the mountaintop!

Very cool.

[missopowers]

Like watching a volcano being born. Very cool.

[Pofy]

The personality is very strong.

Reminds me a lot of Siouxsie, PJ HArvey and Patti Smith-

[eselsdistel]

Could also be early Scott Walker, maybe some Nick Dracke... Whatever. A BLAST.

[Nebistaen]

Fan for ever !

[1951rodrigo]

the emotion level of the interpretation is huge,hence the sheer power of this amazing song,Anna Calvi and her band are to be follow closely.

[ciaocic]

Great song ! Great Anna!! I wait a concert in Italy!!

[araslaneh]

dsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire

[antimattermind]

what a great song!!!

[MBGC14]

anyone noticed the date hasn't occurred yet? it was recorded on the 28th February this year, yet it's the 15th?

[peterhopqk]

@MBGC14 No, This was aired on the 3th november 2010 on Arte TV.

[menodizerio]

I think it's true what brian eno said ...the the best thing happend after Patty Smith!

[Lynleyland]

@menodizerio I agree except I would add PJ Harvey, Alison Mosshart, and Bjork!

[menodizerio]

@Lynleyland obviously!!! I was just keeping moods up cuz not much is coming up

[Lynleyland]

@menodizerio Thanks for posting her videos. I am stuck in America for the moment and don't have direct access to great music like this live. I have to live vicariously through Brit-vid's! Calvi and Harvey's CD's are awesome!

[menodizerio]

@Lynleyland Thankfully she's playing live in my city next month and I'm certainly gonna be there! ps I wish I Had The Chance to find all the records u have in the Us cuz over here is CONFUSION FOG!!!

[1mapacafe1]

@menodizerio Patti Smith :))

[boomercut]

Elle me fait terriblement penser à Siouxsie. Quelle voix ! Superbe.

[hugodegroot]

Only the Lonely - a tribute to Roy Orbinson? Good show - Powerfull voice. I like it. Viva Anna.

[ureh189604]

BRAVO!

[andreavecchietti]

Really powerful!! Great artist, good luck!

[sarah76883]

splendide
