Ana, I agree. I think Annie Clarke's voice goes really well with acoustic guitar playing, at the same time she has a wide tonal range and can adapt her voice to different sound or tone levels. I also really enjoy her electric guitar riffs and solos. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
both are great, but I think the percussion in the studio version adds this great sense of progression, and the accentuation lent by the brass section contributes to a great atmosphere
+Robin Clark Tbh as a musician myself I just really started respecting her style and wanted to play/make music like hers. That and I realized one day I'm encouraging the artists who are so reluctant to smile to reinforce negative energy in my life and the other musicians and I was like fuck that shit I'm gonna listen to St. Vincent and Cage the Elephant and Sufjan Stevens
@nmbcfanatic I know it's stupid; but she does it in a few of her songs, like Paris is Burning. It just gives it a certain... I don't know, rustic effect. And it is on purpose. She does it at her concerts as well.
i hope at some point in her career she goes back and explores this style of music/songwriting. i really like actor and strange mercy but there's something so sweet about her first album. annie clark is a godsend to modern music.
Usually the album version is better as it's more polished but something about this one sounds better than the album version , not that the album version is bad
First album is underrated.
totally agree! so good
I agree completely.
Marry Me is definitely her best album imo
@@obliviousgamer7084 Absolutely!
So underrated. I love the influence of older music that you can hear there.
This is a very complex song, and all the parts come together in strange and beautiful way.
All the people who say she can't play clearly haven't listened enough. I personally think she has creativity oozing out of every pore and cavity.
Who said that?
She can play, alright!
Fuck m8 that's gross
Someone said in the comments, “ who said?”. A bunch of people’s say she is a hack. Far from it.
I honestly cant see how anybody could say Annie is anything short of an epic guitar player.
she's got an awesome jazzy voice that goes perfectly with the jazzy guitar chords
+Ana5555551
I think is more Blues then Jazz. But everyone feels, hears and understands music different. Jazz to me is Hiromi Uehara s music
sounds like samba
There's definitely a Bossa Nova influence.
Ana, I agree. I think Annie Clarke's voice goes really well with acoustic guitar playing, at the same time she has a wide tonal range and can adapt her voice to different sound or tone levels. I also really enjoy her electric guitar riffs and solos. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Let the critics throw shade. Annie Clark's earned her cred.
James Romanski Kind of strange that none found their way here. Or is it just that this is perfect and they could find no fault with it?
omg she was already this perfect 10 years ago
This version is waaaay better than the album one but I love both of them because I love everything that Annie Clark does.
agreed...both are great but this better somehow
both are great, but I think the percussion in the studio version adds this great sense of progression, and the accentuation lent by the brass section contributes to a great atmosphere
She sings the horn parts?! Love it
what is it about her that makes her so mesmerizing???
phira360 people are like birds who dont know its ok to sing. Annie knows its ok, and has something to sing about :)
@@wolfeman323232 good answer
she good at musics
One of her best.
This is so pretty! lovely chord progressions!
Even better than the album version!
LYrICs
Romeo, where'd you go?
It's been years and still no sign
But I'm keeping hope alive
Juliet, how you been?
You look like death like you sure could use some rest
From this place human racing and the faces of people who pound at your door
They always want more they want more
Hummingbird, what's the word?
Are you still your mothers child
Or have you found yourself a flower?
Flowerchild, you're still wild
Under a harvest moon can we eat of all the fruits of our youth?
Tell the truth now
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel
What's the deal?
What's the deal?
Mary, dear, how you feel?
Are you lost without your lamb?
You know I think I understand
Little lamb, what's your plan?
Greener pastures in the sky?
It's a shame you want to die know why
Just to find you've been blinded to the
Greenest of pastures they're right here on Earth
For what it's worth you're not the first to break my heart

love love "your heart is a strange little orange to peel"
This is so chill. Really takes me back to that time.
Damn. Just don't want this one to end. What a gem.
Amazing guitarist and vocalist... heard this on Sirius and looked at who it was and checked out this video.. So cool
I haven't been able to stop just listening to all her stuff over and over, but first album I'll listen to a few times in a row. So perfect
I LOVE YOU ANNIE CLARK!
This profoundly beautiful song has a decidedly old fashioned sound with the way she plays and sings it.
wow this is the best St.Vincent video on youtube. thank you for this video so much ive wanted to figure this guitar out for a long long time :))))
a perfectly subtle mind and music..
This video made me realize ive never truly fallen in love until now
This session is her best work
Truly Annie Clark is a godess among us mortals.
She's amazing talented, I love listening to her perform
that's a gibson hummingbird. but more importantly, this song was even more beautiful
Paulynn Yong I believe its actually a J-200 :)
J200 oversized body and as far as acoustics go really hard to play. Her fingers must be hellastrong
And she's a human hummingbird, but that's a great guitar too.
she so young ❤️
"your heart is a strange little orange to peel"...whoa
how wonderful voice
Lil babbie Annie!!
She's so bloody amazing.
My ears are happy!
Zachary Lunte i
She's as complex as Joni Mitchell. Mega talent.
this has to be the best version of this son she sings.
This is great! Makes me think of some of Regina Spektor's quirky piano arrangements
I love this.
Although I totally respect her as an artist to be able to do what she wants this is what I like
The new stuff just leaves me cold
Masseduction is everything shut up
James Brousseau I agree. Absolutely.
MASSEDUCTION is a masterpiece
i love her
kind of bolssa nova. I like it!
Can we eat up all the fruits of our youth?
Tell the truth now.
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel.
What's the deal?
she keeps on impressing me. she reminds me of jimmy page in her versatility.
you're not the first to break my heart...damn
she's got a strong, clear voice. she's a deeply talented musician
Annie Clark and Lianne La Havas need to do a song together :D
Slugzz Oh stop! Too much beauty to bear!
Anakin before he became Darth Vader.
that guitar is beautiful
she ate
Perfect!
Well i've gone from marilyn manson to...this. my favourite artists.
+Robin Clark You've come a long way like God damn
+Chris Calamia Good journey. If you want to go on the same journey there's a points failure at Culture Club and delays in the Beautiful South area.
+Robin Clark Tbh as a musician myself I just really started respecting her style and wanted to play/make music like hers.

+Robin Clark
I went from 1990 ies R n B to Japanese Electro, to Dream Theater to Megadeth to St. Vincent.
Yeah seriously.
fancy meeting you here
Christ, how I'd love to have her sing and play acoustic to me every night before I go to sleep.
She is a revelation.
Awesome acoustic set. True talent!
uah! mamma mia che bellezza! 💥❤️💓❤️💥
What a wonderful talent - and this version sans capo -
Great!!! Nice changes. Kind of like Doors unplugged.
I miss her black hair.
Well shes back to black now:)
She should release a jazz album tbh. It would be amazing
guess what
@@rodrigo_rufino_ daddys home isn't really jazz
I hear some tricks she picked up from Tuck & Patti on this one.
i noticed that too
Tuck and Patti, her uncle and aunt.
Very cool. Jazzy!
your heart is like a little orange to peel..
@nmbcfanatic
I know it's stupid; but she does it in a few of her songs, like Paris is Burning. It just gives it a certain... I don't know, rustic effect. And it is on purpose. She does it at her concerts as well.
wow wow wow
This is so fucking lovely! ❤️
Romeo = John
Juliet = Annie
I love your profile picture
recent commenter!! yay! SHES AMAZING THATS IT!
@nmbcfanatic
It's supposed to be flat; it's actually detuned to an E half-flat on purpose.
wow
Beautiful x
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO…..DONDE ESTABAS ESCONDIDA …….
i hope at some point in her career she goes back and explores this style of music/songwriting. i really like actor and strange mercy but there's something so sweet about her first album.
annie clark is a godsend to modern music.
Anyone that says she’s not a good guitar player doesn’t understand music and probably isn’t a musician
Beauty
This puts me in mind of something that might fit on Love's "Forever Changes."
Awesomeness
Amazing
@next2veronica Thankyou. Though I couldn't find any torrents of it >:C
let's not exaggerate, my friend, but she is lovely.
Off to San Tropez!
what is this, I can't feel my face
Botox? :D
you're having a stroke dude
It's just the AIDS
Usually the album version is better as it's more polished but something about this one sounds better than the album version , not that the album version is bad
Ethereal
exactly
she's good
Come back, Annie.
wow...
😍👍 Nice Video
they were excellent on austin city limits
Who thinks she needs to leak her skincare routine
@sebytheman
This is true.
She has admitted to her Joni Mitchell influence and it shows very prominently in this performance.
1.25x speed ;)
nightingale
Just a test.
Pretty sure human racing is illegal these days
@nmbcfanatic
T'is true. :3
I do like the effect it adds though. Very Post-Modernist.
What’s the deal, what’s the deal.
and the cats
i would complain/critique but i don't feel like it and i like st. vincent so whatever
Kevin J.B. O'Connor what wrong with this?? i neeed to know
+guy nothing. your answer is absolutely nothing. :)
+Julie Romie
the fuck?
what album is this off of?
Marry Me
