My name is Johnny and today is my 23rd birthday. Haven’t been doing so well economically or emotionally due to the pandemic. My friend sent me this song today and the final part “when you get free, Johnny, I hope you find peace” fucking crushed me. Here’s for a better tomorrow to all of us.
Hope you're doing okay man x
I hope you're doing well, Johnny!
Hope you're doing ok Johnny
"Annie how could you do this to me?"
That part always gets me. She does it so well
me too i cry whenever that part comes on
I bum out when she says the lights on the tree.
Some real drug addict logic there.
😢 she almost sounds like she is crying herself at the end of this line.. it's hard not to join her. Such a beautiful sad song and reminds us of all of those people living on the streets 😞
Now 200% sadder!
she tryna make us suffer
this song was basically already acoustic but she managed to make it different and better and i absolutely love that. Says a lot about Annie as an artist
For all the people that are wondering who/what this song is about, it is about/to her brother. His name isnt johnny but it rhymes with it and he is a heroin addict here in Portland, Oregon and a close friend of mine. Ive mentioned this song and its sad that he says he doesnt like it. He explained those memories from their childhood like the new york trip. And of course thats why she mentions Jim Caroll (the heroin addict).
Last time she came here she gave us back stage passes and took him out clothes shopping beforehand, and got him a motel room.
You are a legend for airing out her family laundry. You never know she might let you be there next time.
Look forward to your next update.
As an ex heroin addict myself. I loved reading it. You are a DIAMOND.
Well I appreciated this bit that explains the backstory, even if SOME people don't feel the same.
I’ve been listening to St. Vincent for almost ten years. I used to live in Wisconsin and I remember the first time I heard her first song that mentioned Johnny. I’m assuming it’s the same person. Ironically I now live in Portland Oregon and I’ve been homeless twice here. I wonder if I’ve ever seen him.
It's Ronnie innit?
I am not sure this accurate. I mean it could be but there are several interviews and other songs on other albums about this fictional Johnny character, she says as much on several occasions. So I am not saying your comment is bullshit but evidence suggests that it's questionable information.
When I'm singing these lyrics I imagine Johnny as myself from the past. And I'm just remembering and feeling nostalgic and happy and sad at the same time (and some other deeper feelings)... A really great song!
Same lmao
I just discovered St. Vincent yesterday high as hell and this song brought me to tears I had it on repeat all night. Can’t believe I didn’t know her sooner
get hip
I feel like I'm the GOAT listening to this album! We all need to be MASSEDUCATED!
And I thought the original couldn’t be sadder
Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
Intended it as a cautionary tale
You said you saw yourself inside there
Docketed like a two manual
Remember one summer we walked in Times Square
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
You took a BIC (name of a lighter brand), set your hotel on fire
We took the blame, took the bags to the train
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Wherever you are
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Wherever you are
The last time you called it was on New Years’ Eve
You asked me for dough to get somethin’ to eat
Since we last spoke, you live on the street
Yeah, I wouldn’t believe all the shit that you've seen
Happy New Year, Johnny
Is it 23?
Happy New Year, Johnny
Are the lights on the trees?
When I said, “let me think, ” and you yelled through your teeth
Accused me of actin’ like all royalty
Always for show, no true charity
You saw me on magazines and TV
But they only knew the real version of me
Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear
What happened to blood, our family?
Annie, how could you do this to me?
Of course, I blame me
When you get free, Johnny
I hope you find peace
@마요 I must have noticed it, someone explained to me about the word but I forgot when I copied the lyrics from gg
Mom I love this acoustic album
it really fits on recent weather. hope you everyone find piece and happiness
I've been digging this album so much, but I enjoy the original version of this more. I'll still be buying it next week though!
Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll
네게 짐 캐롤 이야기를 들려주었던 그 크리스마스를 기억하니
Intended it as a cautionary tale
네가 교훈을 얻길 바라며 했던 이야기야
You said you saw yourself inside there
넌 그 이야기 속에서 네 자신을 봤다고 말했었잖아
Dog-eared it like a how-to manual
사용설명서 페이지 모서리를 접어서 표시하듯 되뇌었잖아
Remember one summer we walked in Times Square
타임스퀘어를 함께 걸었던 여름날을 기억하니
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
눈이 퀭하니 깊게 패인 좀비 같은 사람들을 네게 보여줬잖아
You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire
그런데도 넌 마약을 했고, 호텔방에 불을 질렀지
We took the blame, took the bags to the train
우린 욕을 먹고, 짐을 싸서 열차로 떠났지
Happy Birthday, Johnny
생일축하해, 조니
Wherever you are
네가 어디에 있든
Happy Birthday, Johnny
생일축하해, 조니
Wherever you are
네가 어디에 있든
The last time you called it was on New Years' Eve
네가 마지막으로 전화했을 때는 새해 전야였어
You asked me for dough to get somethin' to eat
넌 뭐라도 먹게 돈 좀 달라고 했지
Since we last spoke, you live on the street
이 마지막 대화 후에 넌 길거리에 살게 되었지
Yeah, I wouldn't believe all the shit that you've seen
네가 겪어온 그 거지같은 일들을 난 믿고 싶지 않았어
Happy New Year, Johnny
새해 복 많이 받아, 조니
Is it 23?
이제 23살이지?
Happy New Year, Johnny
새해 복 많이 받아, 조니
Are there lights on the trees?
거기에도 전선을 두른 나무가 있니?
When I said, "let me think, " and you yelled through your teeth
내가 "생각 좀 해볼게"라고 말했을 때, 넌 목이 터져라 고함을 질렀지
Accused me of actin' like all royalty
잘난 척을 한다고 날 비난했지
Always for show, no true charity
항상 보여주기식이고, 진실된 선행은 없다고
You saw me on magazines and TV
넌 TV나 잡지에 나온 나를 본 거야
But if they only knew the real version of me
그런데 사람들이 내 진짜 모습만을 알았다면,
Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear
내 비밀들, 좌절의 순간들, 두려움을 그들이 너만 알았다면,
What happened to blood, our family?
우리 가족들에게 아무 일도 없었을까?
Annie, how could you do this to me?
애니, 어떻게 나한테 이럴 수가 있어?
Of course, I blame me
난 당연히 날 원망해
When you get free, Johnny
네가 자유하게 될 때, 조니
I hope you find peace
평안을 찾길 바라
Annie how could you do this to me! It was already sooo brilliant and sad
New York, Happy birthday Johnny -> Savior, Pills, masseducation
This song is too underrated
#RIPJohnnyMartinez🎼🦋🎼.
3:00 omg I'm crying 😭😖
LOVE YOU ANNIE
Miss you, dad.
Must this song break my heart?
so f_cking sad omg! I love this song, thanks St. Vincent for these tears
(lol #emo)
좋다
Beautiful sorrow.
Essa mulher que acabar com minha estabilidade emocional
I'm dead 😭🎹💘
they aren't being serious ryan
OMG it's like she singing to me! I'm all O.O
Sorry, but someone could explain me what and who is this song about? I think its really beautiful, but I want to understand it fully.
About a man in her life who is supposedly a drug addict and when she said happy birthday to him he just accused her of abandoning him. Idk if it’s her brother, ex-lover or a friend. But she also talks about ‘Johnny’ in her song Marry Me (2007).
@@b1tchespressed26 and in "Prince Johnny" as well
fuck im crying
remember when annie invented depression
Thank you for this CNK.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHNNY.
You still don't get it. Do you. Thanks ...... JOHN.
Og was already so piano why this hit 200x harder
Guessing it's the same Johnny from Prince Johnny and Marry Me, does anyone know who is he in real life? I mean in Annie's real life, of course.
🌺❤️🌺

Love u Annie
