i was just listening to this sing compared to her newer music and her voice her sounds so much deeper and rich. i never noticed until after listening the strange mercy tracks. those songs are great, but this song is amazing.
looooove this song, the first 32 seconds are perfection, annie clark's voice is, as always, flawless, and, my personal favorite, the hand claps that build steadily throughout are just plain splendid.
My name is John. My girlfriend used to let me hear this song, as if it was her own song and words. And we would fall asleep in tranquil peace. Now, she left me. Cheated on my back. Listening to this song reminds me of her, and questions of why she betrayed my love and trust. Listening to this song as my tears drop, makes me realize I'm still in love with her, and part of me always will.
@emologue93 I'd love to tell you you could forget her. I really would.
But you'll always remember, and next time you'll know. You'll see the signs, know the kind of person. And you can leave her before she can break your heart. Maybe there won't even be a next time. Maybe you'll find better girls who won't resort to that.
There's nothing better than listening to a song that makes you think of the person you love. Check out my song "Diane" if you're in love and never want it to end. Send it to your boyfriend, girlfriend, or even your friends. It's the first video on my youtube channel. Enjoy!
A happier life may be lived if you don't concern yourself with the things in life you detest, regardless of what they may be. I do not like Bieber, therefore I never think of him or speak of him.
You don't need to compare Annie to these people. We all know she is of much greater talent. So relax, you guys need to stop stressing over the lacking quality of the mainstream musicians. Just chill out, sit back, and enjoy Annie's beautiful music. :)
Hella hipsters commenting here, mainstream this, mainstream that. Ok guys we get it, pop music is mediocre. Leave Annie Clark out of it, you pretentious pricks.
@aroryboreallen my name is John! My girlfriend told me to look up Marry me, but I didn't know she meant the Train version so this FREAKED me out, like as if she were asking me to Marry her... I was like "Ummm... tooo soon!!
What underrated musicianship. Mainstream entertainment is vapid, shallow, and unimaginitive. Even Rolling Stone (purveyor of counter-culture and artistry that it is...hahaha) thinks that Jay-Z's "99 Problems" is the 2nd best song of the decade. I have no problem with Jay-Z, but let's be real here... this industry has a lot more than 99 problems if that song is considered the highest of the high-calibur.
@ThrowThatJunkIn You couldn' be any more honest...much of mainstream today is the reason for the underrated statuses of the underrated musicans who truly deserve HELL OF A LOT MORE recognition, than say, the Biebers, Britneys, and Jonases of this world! :)
Most cogent comment I've read on YT in months. Your commentary is spot-on! That"industry" as you put is full of knuckle-draggers, that wouldn't know real talent if it jumped up and bit them on the @ss!
Rolling Stone is nothing but corporate whores wrapped in an alternative rags veneer. They wouldn't know talent if they took it in the chops either! N8
@ThrowThatJunkIn it's either underpaid or overrated. and if you lived in the most dangerous projects in brooklyn, I'm pretty sure you will choose overrated. lol
@ThrowThatJunkIn 99 problems obviously speaks to more people. In your top songs of the decade it may not be in there but then again your a white guy who hasnt gone through what he had. More people like his music and theres nothing wrong with that. St. vincent and Jayz shouldnt even be in comparison, one sold crack for money the other grad from highschool and went on to college
Question: has anyone heard anything about who/what this song is about? I guess the obvious answer is it's about her, and maybe her part-time thinking on the subject. Still I feel like there might be some kind of literary reference in there, and I read some people saying on another website it's about a character on Arrested Development, which I haven't watched much, so I was just wondering if anyone had any substantial explanations to offer.
You lazy mofo... go find another MV with at least two slides so you can enjoy switching back 'n forth... and since you like such activities, you must be a switch hitter I guess...
