St. Vincent - The Apocalypse Song

St. Vincent's new album "Actor" is available now! If you like her music, buy it!

Lyrics

Wait
I'll be swifter than the speed of light
Carbon my body a billion years of time
You wake with the stitches over both your eyes
And deny me my body and all earthly delights

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of

All your praying moments amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of

So take to the streets with apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze

I had not heard St. Vincent until she was on Letterman tonight, and she is blowing my mind. Her songs are so unique and arranged so interestingly.

@hannahbanana305 I first became aware of St. Vincent a few years ago when somebody sent me a rapidshare of her debut album, "Marry Me". After listening to it over and over for the next couple weeks, I finally ponied up $10 to buy the real CD. I'm not really against downloading albums, as that's the way I've discovered many artists, but I've always made a point of then buying the real thing if I liked what I heard.

If you want a taste before buying her stuff, you can try bittorrent/rapidshare

Then you should listen to Krokodil by her. You'll be awake instantly.

Fucking astonishing song. This woman makes some amazing albums. Actor might be top five all time for me, it's that good.

idk Marry Me is my favorite album, it's also the most straight forward one imo

[Sean Covington]

This fucking sucks

[Sean Champ]

Smart - one may even say, wry - and tough and beautiful, such music

[James Gant]

Well to be clear a paragon is like penultimate example, a diamond of unequal measure and quality. Where as paradigm is like a clear thought process, or distinct thought patterns. SO they are not really synonyms, not traditionally.
