Calvi, Anna - As A Man Lyrics

total shit...

I am a man. I cannot say why, but I feel so understood by her. And yes this album meets more attention

Quality

Bravissima 🔝🔝🔝🔝

Somehow, I doubt you've ever met an actual Man. Males, sure. Men, clearly not.

Shes deffo got something about her. I think a really underrated artist

Best album award ....

Talento assoluto!Forse troppo grande per i mediocri.

I love this album. Although I enjoy the songs Alpha Away ans especially Eden for some reason

Anyone else hearing the Jeremy Kyle theme tune in this record???

Way to go ripping off melody from Shirley Bassy... 'History Repeating'... And wow! Who would of thought there are 'alternate sexualities'?... Cmon kids, we've all known that since forever, nothing to see here.... Although it's always a thrill to 'challenge' us oldies, since we were never young and vital.... Lol

Appears to be a James Bond title song

gandolin66 The “walking,talking,in the rain” is definitely Grace Jones but who cares Haha

Mon année musicale découverte = Anna Calvi

This woman derserves way more attention

Lee and Dean brought me here😀

Defending the Guilty brought me here. Episode 5!

YALL SMELL THIS EXCELLENCE

As a jew

The best album & songs 2018 - 2019

Her tunes are actually banging only here cus of the peaky blinders trailer

I love the song but hate the grammar. "If I were a man" is correct. This "was" business bugs the shit out of me.

Yeah women are shit at grammar.

Century of the woman:woman sings about being a man
Fuck off

Hadn't heard of her. I just read her tweet on twitter that she has written her first soundtrack, to the new series (5) of Peaky Blinders no less!

can’t wait

Go buy her 3 albums , she's fabulous !

Sounds like generic pop to me.

Her music isn’t like anything else I’ve heard there’s just so much emotion like I can feel it ugh she so good

What a load of bollocks she takes herself too seriously, like that twat Lana del Rey

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Gerwyn Price 💙

Adoro Anna Calvi ☺️ bellissimo anche questo brano

I want to marry anna

👍👍🎶🎶

Beautiful in its own way. ♥

This is the worst song in the world. No other song even comes close.

Fuck off

Goddammit, this needs way more views! I love her style❤️

Well said

Кто, блядь, придумал шикарной талантливой бабе имидж портовой лахудры?

I'm reading some people comparing her to Patti Smith---but to me that's nearly laughable---she's much closer style wise to David Bowie, and it's not even close on that count.

Rubin4749 PJ Harvey is the one she’s closest too. this could easily come off an album like “To Bring You My Love”

C'est quoi ce clip sur le sexe à deux balles? Tu mérites mieux Anna, te laisse pas faire par le show business !

Awesome !!! I LOVE Anna Calvi

Блин такая крутая песня но клип отстой, не клип а полное порнография ((((

I can't believe some people are disappointed with this. This is such a passionate, fiery tune, and the imagery is beautiful.

The sounds is very similar to "History repeating" of Shirley Bassey

Yes, it is.... But I like it

totally agree!! <3

Does anyone else hear the Jeremy Kyle theme tune?

Can't un-hear it now. Good thing I'll never listen to this shite again.

Grace Jones called, she wants her tunes back.

Anna, why are you waisted your talent and straight on slowing down to decadence...? Wake up ! You were born gifted, don’t listen your blame or destructive voice otherwise it will crush you down to the void. Alcool and drugs don’t go well with creativity (you love Bowie, listen to him when he speaks about his Berlin time).

If intersectionality had a songwriter.

Meh, too fruity!

She used to be classy, atypical, interesting, rockn'roll... and now she sounds poppy and average, she seems to sing for a lady gaga public, it is boring and predictable, a little ridiculous too, of course her voice is still stunning, she got talent, it is obvious, but what she does with it is another story.

What Gaga and Anna's fans have in common is love for great voices, unique strong women, and possibly queerness, because the two artists are also queer, but it's a good thing. Their music is very different. She doesn't have to be rock'n'roller on every album, people's lives and moods change. I love listening to Hunter and Swimming Pool for relaxation 😛

I recognise one of the male dancers from Bowie's Blackstar video! <3 <3

Camp-ometer has gone into overdrive 😲......and great tune too. Another one picked up from 6 music....

she's on firreee

That wailing, effortlessly rising voice... holy SHIT!

Album all killer no filler..I luff Anna .she is electric.emotional.powerful..beautiful

Very good!

Flash And The Pan - Walking In The Rain

Great artist.....the refrain guitar riff reminds me of: "walking in the rain" by Grace Jones.

Very cool 😎

listened for the first time and her voice sounded familiar then after rewinding a certain part realized Poe.

She's better than  ever!

😎🥂

One of the best songs of this decade.

This is one of the best videos/songs I've heard in awhile! Pure art.

After Janelle Monae, it seems that Anna Calvi wants to be the new "Tumblr icon" of the week to sell records...Shallow and derivative.

shut the fuck up

Everything is cool, except for the zombie girl that is walking next to her

Am I the only one who can totally see a collab between Anna and Charlotte Gainsbourg?

sayuri maybe...2 different universes...

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, always.
But i love This new album and I think its very powerful and her feelings about many things are in this album. Listen or read her interviews she tells you her feelings and how those shaped Hunter. I can't pick a favourite as its all brilliant and I usually have a few favourites on a album but I find its really hard for me t pick one. I love Hunter !!!!

Wonderful clip!! She's a genius. I love it!

🐶 Fantastic

Are there any tracks on the new album that aren't about being a lesbian?

"Wish". It's my favourite on the album.

Swimming pool
Eden
Wish

most of them don't sound gay especially for someone who doesn't know she's gay

ME I'M A MAN WHO LOVES ONLY THE WOMEN AND I'M AS A WOMAN LIKE I'M FEEL LIKE AS WOMAN IN MY BODY,IN MY THOUGHT AND IN FASHION TO BE AND TO LIVE ANOTHER DREAMS IN MY HEAD BUT I WOULD BE WITH A WOMAN IN LOVE BUT I'M ALL TIMES ALONE WITHOUT LOVE AND NOBODY WANTS ME TRY CAUSE I DO SCARE TO THE WOMAN AND ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR THAT IS GOOD LOVING WITH HER I HAVE NO SOLUTION AND I'M DESPERATE FOR ALL MY LIFE!!!

my three favourite tracks from the album are now brilliantly visualised. Anna, you're great!

Vocals are still excellent but please bring back the big guitars, the musical side of this I find generic and repetetive. Don't be radio pop.

Have you listened to the whole album? The guitars are on the spot!

No, just the videos.

@MrBungle82 yes the guitars are still there if you listen to Anna's amazing new album, you will hear them

pop doesn't have to be bad and this is not radio pop, and artists can change, I love her forever 😛

excellent production and you are amazing!!!!!

divina <3

Ive always admired calvis musical talent - her earlier work was classy and felt like a nod to great artists like patti Smith etc

I think her new direction however is too faux modern - collaborating with this director has made her image super hipster - a nowness/dazed template has been placed on her videos - sucking out the originality she has - music is still cool, gone a bit poppy but it still delivers

I think she ought to find a less hipster, pretentious filmmaker for her next videos and bring back the elegance and class her work deserves

(Understandable this happened - market forces)

@Tony Brown all good, each to their own - I disagree that you read it carefully 'as I do all thing' suggests you don't pay attention, nothing ever is personal on YouTube needless to say - peace

Because having a few dancers while she stands still playing guitar like the Suzanne & I video was *so* original 🙄

@Dan Hunter Not read any of her recent interviews then

@Dan HunterShe's 100% out and if your take on her music is third party advice on publicity as opposed to her writing and singing as the gay woman that she is then it says more about you than her.

@Dan Hunter Why didn't you just say you hate music dude.

Omg Anna is Denerys! Anna will rule the seven kingdoms.

Walk in the rain then, Anna!

Not comparable to the first but still good

c'est nullissime , mais bon c'est l'époque qui veut ça ..

quel gâchis

Qu'est-ce que vous nous conseillé, alors ?

de la même artiste , Hunter , qui lui est un titre formidable et le clip troublant . Mais ça c'est de la daube .

Anna Calvi c'était ça, Love Won't Be Leaving' - Anna Calvi au Trianon de Paris en avril 2011, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booapgUgHL0&t=260s

I much prefer the older material. Better musically and lyrically as well. Anna is great still.

Anna you’re the best

This is just magnificent

She's a devil

stephen the red the detentor of talent

Damn right she is :)

Here before 1k views

This album deserves way more attention

Alessandro Ferretti Exactly! How are there only 2.8k subs on her vevo? She's a fully realized artist and Hunter is amazing! Do people not know about her? Is America just slow and she is huge in Europe? I mean she did a duet with Byrne...she isn't small league. So confused...

I agree, she is very real and very very talented !!!

From psychologists?

♫ ♥ ♫

Nice video , nice performance but it would have been better to avoid the old walking and talking cliche.

John Duckworth Maybe, but it works for me. She incorporates the phrase in the song in such a classic and artful way that it doesn't stick out as out of place.

@Joseph Gaudet A fair point. If I had one tenth of Ms Calvi's song writing and compositional abilities I'd consider that good. She is quite brilliant.

@Joseph Gaudet agreed

Its eh, kinda the lyric.

amazing voice, mediocre tune

It's more rhythmic, I understand what you mean even though I really like it; its beautiful pop to me hehe :)

Mediocre? Bowie would have sung this!

I agree. Bring back the big guitar.

Not in his best years he wouldn't.

+thedok But 80s Never Let Me Down Bowie would have sung this. :)

As a Anna...

Manna from heaven

She's a genius..

She isn't.

No, she isn't.

She is indeed

Women aren't geniuses, that's why she wants to be a man.
