How can such a happy person make you sad because they're making their own music? It's not like she has replaced the original song with her own. She covered it, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I love it. But you're not expected to do so. You have the right to dislike it, just like she has the right to cover a little song.
I love this song! I like the face she makes at the part about doing what married people do. My cover of "Marry Me" wasn't nearly as exciting as Amanda's.
When I listen to this I like to pretend I'm a Nazi colonel in occupied France slowdancing in a club with a woman in the French resistance and I know she's part of it and she knows that I know and it's the night before the uprising and we realize it's probably going to be the last time we see each other alive.
they are good friends. annie was in the dresden dolls' music video "shores of california." amanda's the lead singer/songwriter for the dresden dolls in case you didn't know...
If by "this chick" you mean Amanda Palmer, yes, I'm pretty sure St. Vincent knows that Amanda frequently covers this song. I think I heard somewhere that they even sang it together at one point. And why is "friends" in quotation marks?
I also love the music of Mark E. Smith even though he's supposed to be a complete fucking asshole.
I'm sure Amanda Palmer is a lovely person; she would probably just be better suited in another line of work. One where it isn't required she open her mouth and put on face paint.
me and my english teacher had a very long convorsation about how magnificent amanda palmer is. she had offically became my favorite teacher in the world
but I don't agree with them being 'real human beings'...I think her makeup and her songs shows that she is insecure, and puts up a front. It's showbiz, though, and they're still amazing.
Some people need makeup or something to help them perform. At least she can get over that insecureness enough to get on the stage and pour herself into her songs :)
I don't think Amanda's makeup is because of insecurity (I'm not Amanda, so don't take my word on it.) I think her make up is a part of her art and so are her songs, and her art is her. Amanda is definitely human (that's what makes her so friggin' amazing.) I honestly don't believe she is an "act." I think she is Amanda Palmer.
every song she covers sounds like it was hers. a true musician. i know i'm gonna get a lot of crap for this, but don't post comments on here if you don't like the video.
i think with amanda and the dolls..you either absolutely love it, or detest it. i adore it, quite frankly. and i definetely agree that every song she covers sounds like her own.
She's human, she's real, and she isn't afraid of letting us know that . That's partly why I love her so much. She's so much more than a (brilliant) musician.
wow she really knows how to turn a delicate and beautiful song into annoying bullshit. way too aggressive. I'm not even going to acknowledge the effing HUMAN BEAT BOX. wtf.
Way too aggressive what the fuck are you talking about. Reggie was beat boxing to cover the drumming part of the song. It was very well cover by the gang.
Even though I was sitting way agasint the back wall at the onion cellar, this was probobly one of the greatest shows I've ever been to. Amazing. I love you guys, see you next time you make it to Boston. :)
the original is actually very good. i'm starting to like this version better though. the original is a little softer. st vincents voice is softer than amanda's.
dude! reggie watts is amazing, and amanda palmer is amazing! i love finding out awesome people are friends!
when i saw reggie's face i was like "WHAT THE F, IS THAT REGGIE WATTS? what's he doing there?" and i had to look in the description.
awesome awesome.
