Still give me goosebumps and take me back to this moment when teenager I had to have an abortion, I remember staring at the ceiling, tears dripping down and by listening to this song I felt less alone, felt like if I was with this girl and like she was with me, sharing the same grief.. music saves
hello, idk if you've come across what she said ab the song in 2007: "’i've never told anybody what that song’s about. I wrote it when I was young. When I was making it up in my mind, I was feeling remorseful, I’d had an abortion when I was 20. I felt guilt and the same about that - which I still feel, but I’ve forgiven myself. I’d just seen Patti Smith perform for the first time - knowing she had two children, her being a figure of feminine strength for me, connecting with her strength, wanting to have it or work up to it and to fulfill my need for that strength, which I didn’t have when I wrote that song. So it meant that I carry the soul of that child in me forever. I’m not real educated. There’s a lot of societal anger: no education about when you get pregnant. There’s self-hatred. I’m not the enemy; society didn’t force me to have the abortion. But it’s years of stories meshed into one triumphant one: I can carry the soul with me, hopefully, in my mind or my heart. Carry the soul with me. I’ve never told anybody this. So there it is, for the world to see."
I still have a flame gun For the cute, cute, cute ones And I saw your hand With a loose grip On a tight ship I still have a flame gun For the cute ones To burn out all your tricks And I saw your hand With a loose grip On a very tight ship And I know In the cold light There's a very big man There's a very big man Leading us into Temptation Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me And he's related to you He's related to you He is waiting to meet you He's related to you He's related to you He is dying to meet you Backhand, role reversal Where is someone? Backhand, reversible roles I know there's someone I still have a flame gun For the cute ones To burn out all your tricks And I saw your hand With a loose grip On such a tight ship And I know in the cold light There's a very big man Leading us into Temptation Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me And he's related to you He's related to you He is waiting to meet you He's related to you He's related to you He is dying to meet you He's related to you He's related to you He's related to you He's nude as the news, nude as the news Nude as the news, nude as the news All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over You
It's intense watching her facial expressions and emotions at play, especially when she lets go and belts it out. She's singing 'off mic' and not directly facing the audience, either.
Un moment d'une grâce sans nom. Une tenue, une dignité exemplaire. Si le Hard Rock existait ( ça se saurait d'ailleurs ... ) ce serait quelque chose de cet ordre là !
C'est assez marrant une conversation avec 3 mois d'écart entre les réponses... Je l'ai vue à Evreux, elle était ivre morte, plusieurs ont quittés la salle parce qu'il se passait rien.... Enfin des bouts de chansons pas finis dont elle se rappelait plus les paroles une bouteille de rouge à la main. Finalement le groupe est arrivé , elle s'est réveillé et la deuxième partie de concert était géniale. Depuis, le problème c'est que je suis tombé amoureux d'elle!
j'étais à ce concert également, si je me souviens, elle avait demandé au public de s'asseoir, pendant qu'elle venait chanter dans la salle... Un de mes plus beaux souvenirs de concerts, un moment unique loin des shows calibrés, identiques sur toutes les dates de tournées tels qu'on peut les voir aujourd'hui.
I was uncertain re the date since it's on CZcams now but was originally aired in France, and 12-10 usually means December 10 in US, but October 12 in many other countries. I thought this link to a purportedly contemporary source cleared up that it would indeed mean October 12, 1996: rvm.pm/on-french-tv-today-cat-power-at-nulle-part-ailleurs-1996-2/ But evidently that source (RVM) is likewise confused, as they elsewhere give the date of the performance as December 10, 1996: rvm.pm/on-french-tv-today-cat-power-at-nulle-part-ailleurs-1996/ And then this source, which compiles a list of her recorded performances, indicates that in 1996, December rather than October would have been when she was in France: odetochan.forumgratuit.org/t39-bootlegology-building-an-anthology-of-cat-power-bootlegs So it looks like it means December 10 after all.
(Presque) vue vers 95 à Marseille, où elle a joué en gros 3 chansons, en essayant de s'accorder, visiblement perdue dans cette petite salle, en grattant n'importe quoi, en racontant n'importe quoi avant de s'effondrer en larmes et quitter la scène après avoir joué celle-là 30 secondes en disant que c'était trop difficile. Très déçu par la demoiselle à l'époque, depuis je fais un blocage sur le reste de sa discographie....
Vue pour ma part à l'Arapaho le 3 décembre 96. Concert très décevant pour cause de problèmes techniques à répétition. Vue à nouveau à Bourges (le 19 avril 97), mais je n'ai pas le souvenir d'un bon concert. Salle trop grande pour sa musique et public venu (presque) exclusivement pour Placebo. Par contre le concert du lendemain au Café de la Danse était vraiment excellent.
Vue aussi à L'arapaho le même soir, pour la première fois. Pas du tout déçu au contraire, extrêmement touché par la fragilité et le malaise de chan visiblement agacée par un larsen. Elle s'interrompit plusieurs fois et râlait mais cela renforçait plutôt la beauté de sa voix et l'intensité de la musique. J,en étais à chialer.😢 Et la prestation a npa reflète exactement cette émotion. Vue aussi le même soir au café de la danse, toujours très prenant mais pour le coup plus carré et plus lisse. Je me rappelle m'être retrouvé par hasard dans un resto vers Bastille juste après le concert, le groupe avec Shelley a côté de chan juste derrière nous. Je voulais leur parler mais je n' ai pas osé 😅
Thank you so much Carpettower for flagging this song up for me. Google plus puts you in my 'People you might know' list, and I stumbled on to your post a couple of days ago. Absolutely love this song now too. HOLY SHIT THIS SONG!
Timmy Gun I'm glad you liked it :) If you like this song, you should look up Cross Bones Style or American Flag, from her album Moon Pix. I love that album, and knowing that you like Interpol and Radiohead AND this song of course, I know you'll find that album to be incredible! It's funny, I meant to respond to your comment a while ago on the Amarillo post, I did actually respond, but I didn't do that stupid + thingy to reply and I assumed you didn't see it, so I deleted it. :(
Awww you shoulda just let that post live on forever :( I'm pretty sure I did read all your replies but I just didn't get round to responding. Sorry about that. Sweet I will go check out that album today. Thanks so much :)
Oh no sorry I had meant to write that I had deleted my comment, not the post :) And don't worry about it, are you kidding? I'm off to check out Howling Bells If they're anything like Cat Power, I have to listen to some of their stuff Thanks :)
Please never take this down. I’ve been watching it for years. Still gives me goosebumps and rips at my heart.
Me too.
Download Videoder apk to save it...
Same. It's so powerful.
Me too ;-)
Absolutely!
this woman saved my life a million times
Here too.

@@pochen3267maybe if chuds like you keep yours closed a smaller percentage of women would feel the need to abort.
@@pochen3267 I bet you are proud, right ? You're pathetic, get out of this wonderful music video. Karma will get you.
Old school cat reminds me of an impossibly beautiful, female Ian Curtis.
"impossible" is what I like about her. its difficult, and most don't even try
Just so powerful. She's an immense, slightly underrated artist. I love her so much.
Especially her early work!!
Everything she does is spiritual
A 24 year-old Cat Shoegaze Power. Amazing.
Still one of my favorite songs
It's a beautiful day today. I'm happy to come across this gem.
Great voice, great song, great woman with a great pullover and a great guitar. Best vid on youtube.
I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship
And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship
And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You

Et Steve Shelley à la batterie! 1er album de Cat Power bouleversant comme ce passage à NPA!
C'est bien ce que je pensais !
Je crois même bien qu’il a produit les premiers trucs de cat power
This blows the album version out of the water x 100. 👌
She was soooo beautiful, magnificent... what intensity in this one! 1996...how good it was
She still is.
She IS BEAUTIFUL!
She is one of the best artist alive and most people don't even know her, but i know her and that's enough. 🙂
Such a fantastic performance and still what a awesome song.
Un moment d'une grâce sans nom. Une tenue, une dignité exemplaire. Si le Hard Rock existait ( ça se saurait d'ailleurs ... ) ce serait quelque chose de cet ordre là !
c'est ce jour là que je me suis dit..whaou, il me faut cet album!!! depuis pas deçu...
Idem. Le lendemain je suis allé à la FNAC.
This sadness in her eyes. Always make me fall
I was the same age as her listening to her tracks to get me through the day
Kitten Power
Love this performance so much
I am in love with this song now.........
Charlyn Marie "Chan" Marshall better known as Cat Power has always had a lot of feeling in her music. She has style and a lot of talent.
ridiculously effective 3 chord song.
I don't think that's the point here!
I got to see this line up live in 1999 in Chattanooga TN. Incredible
Actually it was 98
I love this song so much!
Chan Marshall très jeune et bien accompagné musicalement.Une réussite.
Yes i will aways love this song and Cat Power ❤️
so freaking cool looking with that Flying V...
The spine tingles. Brilliant.
Love this song, this girl - perfect.
quelle merveille...
ooo que hermoso le queda ese corte de cabello ..
Es hermosa
I can watch this a billion times….
This is a gem. 💎
Merci pour le post ! Vive la télé du temps où elle était en 4/3 !!!!

WOW! and Steve Shelly on drums! THANKS! :)
SUCH A CRUSH
J adore cete version
I had a dream about this song last night 😭...I thought it was real untill I woke up. It was intense.That dream will stay with me forever
191,000 views so far and 190,00 of them are mine.
Wonderful voice
Thanks for sharing
Song is about Her abortion when She was 20! Shes been through alot.
Pablo Jan if you listen to her talk about it , it’s a huge regret- she wrote hate about it too.
She doesn't have a son named Boaz? What abortion? ):
@@V4mpb4t Yes, but She's 49 now.
That’s a lot of pain
Don't be worry.
We will love you forever
amazing live performance
In the day I was born!
Really? Awesome.

Vachement plus joli que en studio. Comme je l ai écoutée même en Harley. Époque des petit MP3
lol, the noise at the very beginning of the video :D
That there be called "French" !
Pardon his french
love her hair
gosh love her
love it. love Chan.
The month I was conceived. One of my favorite songs
lol at how the video is cut during the chorus. Like Jackson and Jesse are the guys in the band
factory23 damnit now i notice that and laugh every time i watch
Oh, how much i love them
Thanks for the upload much love!
"Jackson, Jesse (...)" of the chorus are the Patti Smith children
Word? That’s wild
Extra Awesome !!!!
Beautiful.
Me gusta y confieso que la descubrí por una canción con Eddie Vedder jajaja vengo de ver varios de sus videos
j'ai acheté l'album le lendemain...
(Presque) vue vers 95 à Marseille, où elle a joué en gros 3 chansons, en essayant de s'accorder, visiblement perdue dans cette petite salle, en grattant n'importe quoi, en racontant n'importe quoi avant de s'effondrer en larmes et quitter la scène après avoir joué celle-là 30 secondes en disant que c'était trop difficile.

Such a beautiful woman.
Steve Shelley on drums?
How deep can music move one!
awesome supreme!!!
Cat un ange
If you play it at 1.25 speed its INCREDIBLE!
Aw.. Baby Cat Power
The greatest...
great great performance
Sounds like Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane
Vue pour ma part à l'Arapaho le 3 décembre 96.

Fantastic!
Will forever scream.
Fantastica
