St. Vincent - Black Rainbow Lyrics
There's a black rainbow upon my house
Match the curtains and the floors
Think I'm glass I think I'm breaking it
Wrecking ball outside the door
For the ladies of the lawn
But I can't see them, I can't see at all
It's night time all the time
Bird outside the kitchen, fighting his reflection
Tell him I got nothing for him
Bird outside the kitchen, fighting his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins?
Unkissed boys and girls of paradise
Back pockets full of dynamite
While neighbors talk and talk and talk
Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
Tell him I got nothing for him
Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins?
Throw the phone out the window
If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout out loud
And set the bell and slow
If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout even louder

St. Vincent Black Rainbow Comments
Violin progression very similar to Family's Mellowing Grey
*In the end*
_The strings are your head_
_The drum is your heart_
Here from gambino nostalgia?
This is the most climactic song I've ever listened to
Sounds like children song but im here for it
finding out that the most perplexing artist went through a Joni Mitchell phase, with a little Summerteeth era Wilco at the end. Nice. Probably also the first use of woke in its circa 2016 meaning in a pop song?
Seeing all theses comments about the ending, you better not disappoint me ;)
I wasnt xD
I'm in baroque pop heaven!
This song gives me a beatles vibe but it's sad
What's the meaning of this song? I was reading the lyrics but they're very surreal lyrics.
Think that's the point
I've been thinking of it along with the rest of the album as a sort of nightmarescape of a suppressed suburban housewife on the cusp of a psychic break.
The Stale Gamer that’s so fitting
Hopelessness, being a prisoner to a stereotype and expectation of who we should be, having no voice, feeling suffocated, wanting and needing so desperately to burn it all down for a chance of an identity all your own
This woman is pure genius
Fuck yeah
Apparently there is a z chord in this song
Beautiful song! Heard it first in "Both Hands" by Childish Gambino and knew I'd love the original :)
It's so magical how she lets her face show so natural and not cover herself in makeup and completely ruin her hair. She's so simplistic it's just amazing and that's why I love what she does. You do you, Annie.
who's here from bino
I'm definitely feeling this 😃
ριχєl ѕтєяєσ like both hands
the end of the song is garbage, can't just endlessly modulate without altering the motif a tiny bit and expect it to be good
you're a butt hurt musician aren't you? i think it it makes it amazing not alter motif keeps the descent into insanity better ;) try to to think more in terms of your left brain than your right.
sorrty didnt mean to lash out with that first question
The song wouldn't have been as good if she would have changed the motif
Oh one can't do whatever they'd like when creating a work of self expression?
And here I was, thinking that the ending of this song solidified it as one of my favorites.
It's an amazing song, and I bet you know fuck all about making noteworthy music. Show me your works, or crawl back under your rock.
@2:50 The soundtrack for when aliens attack
this was the song i always used to listen to when things got bad for me last march and every time i listen to it, the song gets more and more bittersweet
is the video sped up a bit, or is that just how it is. the live versions are much slower.
Fucking Genius, love her
10 people have a normal rainbow outside theur houses
The ending would make awesome boss music. Lol.
Gustov Holst Planet Suite. Been done before, erm.... a long time ago.
I just love this song's slow descent into pure madness. So calming in a way....
an image that comes to mind while listening to that buildup, is a scene in the first season of American Horror Story. Its a flashback to a scene with character Larry Harvey, where is standing over his bed watching his wife and home burn down. The backdrop of the curtains catching fire, along with everything else, and he is just standing there, calmly, looking quite pleased with himself.
damn nigga. is that the first season?
McDingleberry Yeah first season, 2nd to best season imo
STV ... a breath of mind
Childish Gambino.
Jack Sehn ew
the end of this song is just... pure paranoia. put your headphones on and run down the street listening to it at 3 am
jajajaja you are crazy
That sounds....exhilarating
@ConfusedVirgo eeqA41W211
This song and whole album is underrated
The end was so loud my ear phones shook!
Can't decide whether I like the original or the live version with Andrew Bird more
It's real close , but I think the andrew bird version wins a lot thanks to her vocals in the song ending
yeah i feel myself hard
same lmao
Special cute and her voice and poetry.. ,0))
very nice song ! .
Indeed...!"!
The end of this song is the best thing I've ever heard.
@enyvl I've played this song at night in a dark room and it feels like I'm about to be murdered.
@enyvl It makes me want to write, direct and film an entire film, PURELY to use this outro at some intense point
+doogdoogdoog I thought the same thing
I'm developing an obsession
Me too.
stardappledgreen aren’t we all
@B A G E L yes.
I love this song! Very atmospheric.
Both Hands
My thoughts exactly!
Jesus christ the ending is so fucking heavy.
The end of the song makes me imagine an old old movie when the bad guy enters the scene and does something climatic. Love that shit
Both hands-childish gambino
black rainbow-st.vincent
Sublime is awesome
Sublime! :0
Double rainbow?
she can play anything live and it sounds just as majestic
Wow, she's is simply gorgeous and also has a mesmerizing voice on her c:
One for Krokodil would be awesome, but then again I love anything Annie does.
That's great!
I'm doing well, thank you for asking.
And you?
How high are you?
Buon Gurno
Bonjour!
