St. Vincent "Black Rainbow" w/ Andrew Bird

[magetarg]

Do you have the Andrew Bird's video too? I can't find the version of natural disaster from the same session...

[mushuplus]

Those lucky people!!!!

[sethfafa]

WOAHOHOHO indeed sir

[ayyeden]

lol WOAHOHOHOO

[MarchingMac04]

I do not talk mother fucker I'm a rapper.

[soccerjunkie7]

If I can't have her, at least let me bested by a man as great as Andrew Bird

[mzcrazyface16]

Did anyone else notice she whispers 'here we go' before the break down? It made me giggle.

[jclanks55]

i love her.

[aestar2012]

Like if Childish Gambino brought you here.

[tokenblakk]

@aestar2012 Dislike because you asked for likes. But reliked because Gambino did an awesome job on this song.

[crookedJFK]

this is the best video on youtube. go watch all the other ones and tell me i'm wrong. i dare you.

[crabalockerfishwife6]

this is the most hauntingly beautiful thing I've ever seen

[thenoiboi]

uuuuuggggggggghhh. fucking amazing.

[agedskate3000]

most beutiful voice

[thewitch121]

I love herr!!!

[ZeroSquirrel]

This video made me burn my food... Got too caught up

[onthebrink11]

when they play together tho. babies are made.

[dlass7710]

she has a voice

[hemoochi]

my two favorite things about this video:

1. her beautiful lips

2. when bird made a slight mistake 4:46 and smiled in a way that more than made up for it

[zepdrummer444]

I think Andrew Bird and Annie Clark should date.

[musicaddict1838]

It's hauntingly beautiful

[phishboy93]

i fall in love everytime she smiles

[brittpinkie]

I love the way Andrew follows Annie's lead. True musicianship. <3

[TheHauntOfEriatarka]

She's absolutely beautiful. I never thought i could ever be so immature as to have a crush on someone I'll never meet, but with her musical skill and graceful beauty, I just can't help it.

[MicahBuzan]

@TheHauntOfEriatarka haha i know exactly how you feel, and don't forget that apart from her beauty and musicianship, she has a very pure heart as well. very kind person.

[Keturahhh]

does anybody know where i could find the guitar tabs for this song?

[jamesandjackproducts]

@Keturahhh You could always look at the video and where her hand is, or by ear

[egyptiansushi]

@Keturahhh do you want me to write the chords?

[crackitysmack]

@egyptiansushi Please do write the chords? I've got the first two by ear but everything else i try after that just doesnt sound right

[egyptiansushi]

@crackitysmack Oh oops forgot to respond to this. The note after the slash represents the lowest (bass) note of the chord, they don't sound right otherwise.

Verses and chorus go G#, Cdim/F#, G#, C#m/G#. At the end of the verse between the chorus sometimes it just does the first three chords instead of all four- listen to it.

"Throw the phone out the window" to the end of the song goes Fm, E, (then go up) Bm, Bb (then go up, etc).

[crackitysmack]

@egyptiansushi thank you so much.... you are a gentleman and a scholar

[jwhipp]

@egyptiansushi doesnt it sound more like.... verse: G#, D#min/A#, G#, C#min/G# | Chorus: G#, D#min/A#, C#min/G#, A?

[cha1tman]

effing incredible! i wish i was in that audience

[JuanpaLibo]

There are two deaf people disliking Anne's videos, lets hunt them down!!

[iammrchubbsful]

for some reason, I have a hard time seeing andrew bird style blending with hers, especially in an acoustic environment where she takes the lead. they{re both amazing regardless.

[lkschlosser]

chicks facial expression at 5:06 is priceless

[blacknal]

i love her nose

[CaptainNemo13]

"bird outside the kitchen, fighting his reflection, tell him i got nothing for him" an awesome, coincidental double entendre...

[badjackbrowning5]

@CaptainNemo13 I'll concede stupidity here, but where's the double entendre there?

[CaptainNemo13]

@badjackbrowning5 Well, you have to keep in mind that these lyrics were most likely not written with Andrew Bird present. So, this idea is funny with "bird outside the window...." because Andrew's last name is bird.

[badjackbrowning5]

@CaptainNemo13 Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

[Fezxxrox]

@CaptainNemo13 You sir, are literate and precisely a perfect prolix as well. Thank you for recognizing a "double entendre."

[BlackHelicopterz]

chemistry

[wasabichick]

oh my goodnes <3 those two are love! so beautiful!!!!!

[TmasterREY]

Most beautiful song team up ever.

[Zemmi]

yesyesyes.. made for each other! so lovely..

[Jib1337]

anybody know what this was shot with? looks like either a 5dmkii or a 7d. cool stuff.

[validmayo]

is it just me or does mr. andrew seem a tad bit off (at least the 1st bits that he plays). does stop her awesomeness. i love this version but the end of the album version is fuuucking amaaazing. that's the differAnce between live and studio i suppose

[validmayo]

doesn't*. also, that zach whogivesafuck effron in the background at the end?

[BlackHelicopterz]

@validmayo wouldn't that mean that you give a fuck

[validmayo]

@BlackHelicopterz no, i'm just a lil annoyed that i know who that guy (and so many others) is even though i've never seen any of his movies. o well. the song is still awesome

[happyoctopusparty]

@validmayo It's completely improvised on his part.

[discohellpay]

orange lipstick.

hottt!

[kupokuposama]

This is what happens when true musicians meet.

my heart has been melted :3

[teaClocks]

the acoustic version lacks a lot of the grandeur in the studio version, and that's part of the appeal of the track. oh well, it's still nice.

[admcs]

I can't believe some idiot couldn't be arsed to turn off their cell phone/alarm or whatever it was. @&#^@@^

[qracers]

it's adorable how timidly and delicately Andrew Bird looks at Annie.

[LucysShadow77]

I've listened to this song SO many times and it STILL gives me goosebumps! Yeah!

[retrograde458]

this is magical.

[SketchHead5]

i Dont Know What to make of it. Its just SO GOOD! Omg i cant believe they have this recorded!! I love Everthing About This Video.

[davetherave333]

I love her de...dededededddeededeeeeeeeee thing :) 5/5 and I have something in common with Andrew Bird. Thats how I found him, and i'm so glad, he's awesome. I'm not gay. But if I was he would be first on my list, syke. ha

[redrobotc63]

3:58 is that Johnny Greenwood?

[hellozoabs789]

I got excited. I actually thought he was actually gonna show up.. :(

[loadedwatergun44]

This is about my tenth time listening to this in the last half hour, i just keep hitting replay. Does anyone know where i can find this song in and mp3 ... i'm guessing it wasn't released... and it was just a one time deal? ... The Thing is i'll be out somewhere... and the urge to hear this version of the song will just hit me... :) Man I want this song!

[musmetzevenpoten]

I have the song, but just the album version...

They really should release this one :)

If you want to, I can send it to you!

[loadedwatergun44]

@musmetzevenpoten You have the Original the St. Vincent version, without Mr.Bird, right? If that is the one, i have that one :) Thank you so much for for offering!! But if you have this version with Mr.Bird, yes please send it to me!! That would be awesome!! Thanks Soooooo Much!

[musmetzevenpoten]

I should've been more clear or I should've kept my mouth, now I'm disappointing you :)

I'm gonna look for this version, all over the place.

[loadedwatergun44]

@musmetzevenpoten What, no worries! It was so cool of you to ask :•) I wish they would do a whole album together, and put this one on it. He just makes everything sound so... uh... you know... lol

Thanks for looking, i will too. We both need to own this. :)

[musmetzevenpoten]

I FOUND IT!

It's so close, just google it, they're on a blog called JPs blog!!

Heaven :D

[loadedwatergun44]

@musmetzevenpoten Awesome! You are officially the coolest person on earth! :•) You can download it?

[musmetzevenpoten]

Yep yep !

[loadedwatergun44]

@musmetzevenpoten Can you send me a link to the page?

[musmetzevenpoten]

I posted it on your profile but it seems to be missing. Did you find it before it disappeared? :)

[goldiesnoldie]

he daar, weet zeker dat je nederlands bent..iedergeval, heb je een mp3'tje van deze sessie?? zou ooit dankbaar zijn! xx

[musmetzevenpoten]

Jep, google even 'Jp's blog'. In de zoekfunctie typ je St. Vincent, en dan scroll je naar beneden. Je zal het wel vinden :)!

[scalenenorthey]

is that one massive curl of hair near her right ear, or an earring?

[cheshirecat323]

it's definitely a massive curly ringlet..

[jbarganier]

@scalenenorthey - BRILLIANT comment! THANK YOU for your contribution to the world!

[scalenenorthey]

@jbarganier no thank you, i try really hard to appease the youtube masses...

i obviously wouldn't be here if i didn't like st vincent

[tsteak9]

@scalenenorthey my question, is how does she cut her hair? its so weirdly put together. sexy. but unusual (which makes it extremely sexy)

[broadwaychic215]

3:37, the look on Andrew's face. GAH.

They are gorgeous and wonderful.

[loadedwatergun44]

This is perfect! I could write a million stories to the emotion that's in that room, if that makes sense...

[LucysShadow77]

WOW!!

[oreides]

thank you! fanfic... maybe no. but i will watch this over and over again.

[BobbieRoberta]

Would it be too much to ask for them to get married?

[Synaesthete7]

So they can have gorgeous quirky talented musical babies? I second that motion.

Also, there should be fanfic.

[BobbieRoberta]

Yes, yes, and yes.

And of course, there should be fanfic..

..or you know, they could adopt me. :)

[choctochoc]

love it. i love anything blogtheque :D especially when it involves andrew bird! and a new love and appreciation for st. vincent! :D

[guellrich]

Lovely - thanks a lot!!

[GreenFr0g]

Thanks so much for the youtube upload!
