[heyabbeywhatsup]

[ifitisreal]

1:49 menstruality O.o

[LouisDjalili95]

Ommmggg she used to teach me guitar about 4 years ago!!!

[pocallaghan9]

@LouisDjalili95 class

[oystermanic]

This is visceral singing that sets the juices of desire flowing. Love it! Love Calvi!

[OoldBoy90]

artista: The Kills??

[booyalab]

I heard about her from an interview by Paul Banks and I wanted to like her because I love Interpol, but I'm not really a fan. She is pretty and talented but there is nothing that grabs me in her music. Oh well.

[Gatorade237]

Does it say 'The Kills' Buy 'Future starts slow on I tunes' for ANYone else on below the video. This isn't the Kills, this.is. CALVIIIIIII.

[szopkaaa]

She's a great singer and may be even a greater guitar player. So much clear power in her singing. I love it. Her each song has a different style. Stylish she is I would say.

[betterway2]

"it's the fire, the fire, the fire "

yeahhhhhhhh , j'adoooooooore !!!

thanksssssssssssss :)))

[Yukiyukiyukichi]

OMG OMG

[coooooolio666]

31 people have no desire!

[RayenMalal]

¡¡Hoy la he descubiero y me he quedado anonadada... que pedazo de voz, mírada y polenta que tiene... me encantaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

[sagestark]

Looks like a robert Palmer girl.

[Fieldhouseuktube]

Anna Calvi - You are VERY sexy.

[VernianProcess]

Anyone into this song should also check out "Darkness Falls - Hey!", these two artists go together extremely well!

[VernianProcess]

Ok who's the 26 assholes with absolutely no taste in good music!?

[FuzzBallFrost]

She looks a little kate beckett from castle up c

[BarnaCUNYC]

Great singer! I'm going to see her tonight!!!

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

Great song, record and artist and really hope we get another record at least as good as this. Shame it was a pretty good Mercury Prize year, what with Polly Harvey and especially Diamond Mine.

[ListenLisse]

That's a good way to hold the guitar :)

[MistressGrammar]

I absolutely love this! And it kind of makes me nostalgic for Siouxsie.....

[sunidaaze]

female bruce springsteen? i think so.

[TheHulahophop]

what is this song about?

[03wrigc]

@TheHulahophop I think it's about how lust makes the protagonist of the song feel ("the fire its heavenly heavenly") and she is being overcome by this force ("Lord knows it is just the devil in me") and is submitting it quite happily.

[VernianProcess]

So amazing!

[fredmila]

How come they did not give the Mercury prize to her? D'oh!

[Valerhon]

Love it. 

[legendofbrano]

amazing!!! powerfull and melodic song! a very strong woman with the notes flow thru her veins, fantastic!!!

[Everleigh]

Reminds me of Jeff Buckley...

Poetics of music...

[KITCHENOFDISTINCTION]

The female artists in the UK right now are just fantastic. Adele, Laura Marling, Anna Calvi etc. etc.

[Laurenj112286]

Amazing: Can't believe how talented this girl is. 

[practicepalace]

this devil music, i love it

[desideria711]

Anna wystàpi juz w poniedzialek 17 pazdziernika o 17.10 w Warszawie Palladium :)

[newfka]

22 people don't know what desire feels like.

[LiberTBo]

I'd like to see Anna paired with Coldplay on their 2011 tour . Brian Eno who's producing most of Mylo Xyloto likens her to Patti Smith back in her beginningss, I think Anna's more challanging and poetic, certainly more beautiful.

[desideria711]

@LiberTBo Anna is not only a great guitarist, but also, perhaps above all, a great voice: Strong, loud, and yet very feminine and sensual.....

[Nit2RockU]

@desideria711 C'est vrai qu'elle a un grand voix très belle et un son de guitare et qui a des éléments d'Hendrix et d'autres grands guitaristes

[LiberTBo]

@desideria711 Esto es verdad que ahs una voz maravillosa y un sonido de guitarra y que tiene elementos de Hendrix y otros grandes guitarristas

[desideria711]

@LiberTBo Live Anna is usually found only with the accompaniment of accordion and drums, the music - sometimes very intimate - is, however, with great power....saluti

[desideria711]

Tano!! Se avessi la possibilità di nascere e morire di nuovo, lo rifarei solamente per vivere la mia vita insieme a te, per rimediare ad ogni mio errore, per cucire ogni tua ferita, e per cancellare ogni tua sofferenza in modo tale che il mondo possa conoscere solamente il tuo sorriso, che mi ha incendiato il cuore, come dal primo istante che ti ho visto! Desi

[carlosgwey1]

GREAT ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[djzenelvis]

the lyrics are great, the song is great, she is beautiful, what do you want more ?

[krowens]

+++++++Sublime+++++++

[rabit818]

I have listened to the whole album twice today. This woman possessed me and I am under her spell. And I don't care.

[tinythingsful]

@FanaticalMusicFan Good music but an ugly girl? Whether your friends are taking some drug which has impaired both their visual and hormonal capacities or they definitely may have a terrible taste and feel attracted by porn stars. This woman is absolutely gorgeous and sexy, even for a straight female like me, and the production of this video did a great job on her. Period.

[blackwash]

Wow. Buckley-esque in a great way. This is my favourite new thing I've heard in a long time. Thank God somebody's doing SOMETHING.

[chizza14]

She looks like Eva Green..love love love.

[top20modernrock]

Bono has finally found someone to do a duet with who is his equal. I've been waiting over twenty years to say that.

[xElke95]

Most beautiful voice ever : )

[jezziebabes72]

This is immense.

[jakajarc]

I created my video response, not because it would be the same style, but because it speaks of the same occurrence - desire :)

[edijolie]

I can't stop listening to this song, it's haunting/beautiful <3

[henrychinaski26]

Favorite new artist.

[louisewaring]

This is an epic track, can't wait to see it performed live. What a haunting voice!

[BohemianConspiracy]

she's really special... there's not a lot of artists who sound more or less like her... some says PJ Harvey naturally... but she reminds me a lil bit to Melissa auf der Maur... even if both artists are quite different... I won't be surprised if Anna Calvi is a big fan of Leonard Cohen...

and this video can be directed by David Lynch or Wim Wenders... it's well done

[carpypark]

her pupil dilating at 2:30 made the hairs on my neck stand up...and my cock.

[GhostMovie4U]

Video is GREAT!!! AND SHE is goddess!!!!!

[gavinellis]

Absolutely amazing, hope she gets the Mercury

[theomorth]

she is breathtaking!

[KirrySparrow]

She looks like a matador; so elegant, colourful and strong.

[viking061265]

Fantastic-pure and simple.Love the harmonium player too.

[LicoriceLain]

Meh. Not one of the high points of the album for me.

[Poopleschtinck]

PJ Harvey from back in the day anyone? Not that that's a bad thing but come on...

[AristobuloBr]

If she were Portuguese surely she would be a fado singer

[biboca68]

@AristobuloBr Exactly! One of my first impression about her is her precision in the musical phrases. reminds me the same precision of Teresa SAlgueiro. Great voice like mediterranean voices. 

[saraibewildered]

amaaaaaaaaaaZing!

[SinisterDevilCheese]

Sexy and talented, what more could I ask for?

[5laurelphoenix]

I discovered Anna Calvi only recently, and I'm fascinated by her creative work - especially that "gothic" element melting in her sensitivity of performance! I think her original art depicts her daring steps on a "music beam" - her balancing, with amazing ease, between a realm of "Sirens" and the inner "demons" of passion!

[deneveux]

Anna can tear up my heterosexual membership card anytime.

[absit1nvidia]

@deneveux No need for her to tear it up, just post it to me.

[apurplebutton]

I have a new musical crush. SHE'S FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[GDGspire]

I can't believe I'm only just hearing her now! She's amazing; powerful voice, great music, sexy, almost androgynous in a way, but with that great feminine bridge. Really interesting.

[rednosechulo]

Wow, i just watched her perform on late night with David Letterman and i must say....this woman is breathtaking!!! =D her stage performance is mezmerizing, and its as if she commands your attention. =) very beautiful and seductive performer, a future star in the making! And great song by the way! =D wish you much success Anna! xoxo

[wonnatryit]

Shes just amazing. Love hearing fresh talent like this.

Also well into Jamie Woon, Warpaint, Ghost Poet, Dub Fx, AllFlaws 

[SuperPetersteele]

@wonnatryit so sorry for you she is not another big breasted sun tanned cheap looking american whore which cant even count count till ten. what a small minded tasteless arrogant asshole you are

[coolbritannia1979]

Springsteen meets Cash meets babe!

[aintnobody94]

This is the most atmospheric music video I have ever seen - amazing.

[krusher1977]

I saw her first L.A. show at the Troubadour a while back, it changed my life. I can't stop revisiting this video. God bless Anna Calvi!

[TheGraziiella]

she's amazing, her voice not to mention

[inuralove]

there's something Bowie-esque abuot this lady....and different at the same time...love it.

[IsuckYoungBlood]

This video suits the music in a way I have rarely seen anywhere else... Fantastic!



[krowens]

amaaaaaazing

[Greenorblack]

Pretty sick video !

[MrNiceHk]

Wow. Blown away. Music you buy.

[SevenCutter]

reminds me of siouxsie's voice. I love it!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

The visual style reminds me very strongly of the The Killers' video for "When You Were Young". Did Anthony Mandler direct this?

[bakerwill]

Just incredible. Thank you, Anna and Aoife - you've actually improved lives with this.

[Spamikaze]

Or a musket.

[Spamikaze]

She should wear a sword in this video.

[Spamikaze]

"God knows it's just the Devil in me, the Devil that's taking my hand to the fire."

[amazonaaaa]

Terrific vid.

Terrific song.

Terrific Anna Calvi!

[Spamikaze]

What a goddess.

[Spamikaze]

This is incredible. She exudes a sort of seductive menace. A force of nature.

[kicoshih]

Wow! awesome....Reminds me of Annie Lennox...YEAH! I love telecaster btw.

[sparklehead]

She's like a female David McComb, from the great long lost Australian band the Triffids - that's a compliment. The video is really obvious and corny. The song could lead to a much more imaginative interpretation

[derdigo]

@sparklehead I completely agree... surely she must own a few Triffids albums!?

[Lacedeamonn]

SHE LOOKS SO HOT HOLDING THAT GUITAR!

[Caarah]

Awesome! :) I feel this way.

[voyparr]

Which guitar did she used for this video?

[maddogguitars]

@voyparr Fender Telecaster - she usually uses this

[OneAvengingAngel]

I had desire...until I saw...at 1:58..bedbugs...((shudder)). I do love the song though!

[hoopoe222]

Moving!

[pedramayor]

Amazing! Thanks for uploading the vid - what a powerful and stunning voice!

[finalmattasy]

absolutely superior.

[Olhado256]

Great song, moderately good video.

[RadioGuy1000]

You've been added to my channel for Nashville (Music City) viewers  :- )

[rue0cambon]

nice voice! and beautiful woman

[IndividualExperience]

Nothing ugly about this chica. Some people are complete idiots.

[brcaxias]

Gostei muito do vídeo. Forte, autêntico. Parabéns.

[kerekerdocske]

Anna is as stunning as the video – what a passion!

[hernmsvgomes]

She is very talented. I hope to see her soon in a gig.

[redinkstains]

I love the religious symbolism in this video.

[prinpi]

@smokeyGee @FanaticalMusicFan She DOES look prettier live (Seen her in Brixton) and male and female front-people looks are part of the deal in popular music.

[ergodicity100]

lovely, as usual

[FanaticalMusicFan]

Nice video, but am I the only one who thinks she looks prettier live? :)



[smokeyGee]

@FanaticalMusicFan who gives a f*ck, would you say the same thing if she were a man. "FanaticalMusicFan" - yeah right...

[FanaticalMusicFan]

@smokeyGee Looks like somebody got out of bed on the wrong side. And yes, I would say the same thing if she were a bloke. But maybe I used the wrong word; I meant "charismatic", not pretty. I've seen her live, I have her album (bought it), I'm a fan, and she has great stage presence. But when I showed this video to some friends of mine, their reactions were more like: good music, but an ugly girl. Which is a shame, because live she isn't like this at all. So yeah.

[dungeox]

I don't think she looks so bad in this video; maybe it's because the atmosphere they have tried to create, inspired by the song itself. Anyway, why should a good singer always look good? She is not a product, she is not a Beyoncé.

[FanaticalMusicFan]

@dungeox True, she's not a product, and she has her own identity. But why look ugly when she is hot in real life, and when it can help to win her more fans? But anyways, like I said in my original post, I'm a fan; I just think the director could have done a better job :)

[StrangerToEarth]

@FanaticalMusicFan Yes, to the average bloke with calendar girls on his wall and a hilarious appetite for porn stars, she looks like a severe Russian nun. Here's what you'd think with a bit more taste: the hair scraped back hair shows off a delicate and sensual neck and breathtakingly high cheekbones, which in turn curve down to accentuate a pair of darkly pouting red lips. The dark brows and eyes make her look like a seductive siren. The red lips and top suggest passion, desire.

Ugly.

[partridgezombie71]

@StrangerToEarth Well said my friend - an utter star in the making.

[maguire84d]

@FanaticalMusicFan Your friends aren't that bright. IIn fact, if they actually reduced their appraisal of her to those six words, I'd say they're also shallow, insincere, unpleasant people. That you'd use their opinion as some sort of intellectual currency is staggering - surely you'd be embarrassed by that simplistic and stupid response? I'm sure they'd say the same about Patti Smith.

[mundusabsurdus]

@FanaticalMusicFan What a bright bunch your friends must be... They see THIS and go "good music, ugly girl"? That's so stupid I can't even think of what to say. (Luckily someone else did.)

[alex91z]

I looooooooooooooove it

[fiumerosso]

great



[YupLt]

First (-) =] I hate when artists try to fake voice. It sounds crappy.

[JoelVazz]

@YupLt so how do you know she fakes her voice? because i don't think so

[looseneck]

@YupLt Ridiculous comment.

[smokeyGee]

@YupLt its actually call falsetto, get it right gimp. no one uses the term "fake voice"

[MrKomigenLena]

This video fits her music perfectly.
