St. Vincent - Dilettante Lyrics

3:16 onwards.... slaps

I miss this St. Vincent :/
Didn't enjoy ST or Masseduction very much.

zillajratomicray yess same i liked a couple songs though

Aporriptetai, are you greek?

Christina r. Yep 😀

Aporriptetai haha cool me too, it took me a while to realize that your username is greek hahaha

Your's is universal, no way I could have found out you're greek

best song on the album for sure

3:16 is glorious.

fucking LOVE this tune

I bought this album on a whim after a night out.
I needed music to soothe my hangover.
I spent the whole album transfixed by how awesome she was.
Then I tried to get some sleep.

Fun fact about St Vincent she writes most of her music 30 minutes before she goes to sleep.

That is actually super interesting. I always feel the most motivated and creative late in the night when I should have been asleep hours ago.

The end is so haunting

Loveeeeee itttttt

i woke up every morning with this song stuck in my head for the past two weeks. can't get enough of this album. 

 Strange Mercy (and a little Actor) Syncs up magickally with Confessions of A Dangerous Mind! check it out https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pX_PyqTZCjvy_2CK3GeJISBsdCUgCgW

The ending gave me chills. Fantastic auditory stimulation.

If I had a belly button, I would shove Annie Clark in there to live with me forever! 

Thats a lil nasty mate

what do you mean if

@Phanto im guessing he or she has an outie.

That effect continues through to the next part. IYou might say it comes in 'prematurely'. But yeah, there's no doubt that John Congleton is this generation's Tony Visconti and Bob Ezrin rolled into one.

At 1:11 there's a chorus when she breathes. The production in this song and album is crazy

St. Vincent is perfect! <3

I'm surprised that someone else remembered that album, half a century old and still just as good if not better than it was on the day that it was released.

Half a century? 50 years!?

I got one about tortillas.

Adblock's cool brah

I wonder if she chose the name Elijah randomly or on purpose. According to Judaism, the savior we're supposed to be waiting for is named Elijah. So in a way, this song is her asking for a savior (not in a literal religious sense, maybe even in just a sexual sense) in the form of the city.

The synth that starts at 3:16 makes me feel all warm inside :3

How did she get that sound at 3:15? How could i get that crank sound on guitar?

turdyvidios this comment is old as fuck but maybe like a cocked wah and some other modulation type pedal. A digitech whammy probably has sounds just like that.

1:54 is just the most noticable example of an insane production trick that pops up again and again throughout this song - an echo chamber opens out of nowhere, then abrubtly shuts before the sound that's feeding into it stops. Totally disorienting and totally genius.

Actually a quite creepy song. But sublime

It feels like she's singing directly at me T.T

You need to get Ad-Block Pro. No youtube ads ever again.

session goer

That part is among the most wonderful, sensual, revealing pieces of music I have ever heard. It's almost sexual.

@odm423 it was probably the copyright owner. it certainly wasn't me. i get no profit from ads in my uploads.

Toyota Prius. Now let's see if you get it.

I knew of St. Vincent before Anthony Fantano, but I love finding new artist's through him!

@MrBlacknikka Well, it changes mode quite a bit. Like a lot of classical music, it shifts between happiness and sadness very swiftly (for example, the loud part at 2:02 seems lower than the rest of the song), whereas most rock songs stay in the same mode. Or if they do, they only do it a couple times.

All green and no red so far - just as it should be!!

This song reminds me of... a tune of classical music, Disney songs or something.
Please tell me, what is that?

This sounds a LOT like Regina Spektor, especially that part on 1:06

Let's not forget.

one of my favorite albums of 2011

@ompampinos engrish prz! nah, jk have your fun you guys

That song really turns me on.

I'm in love. I hope my girlfriend doesn't mind!

0:50 electronic mind fuckup starts. love it

I stumbled upon this group when I was trying to download songs onto my phone. Now I'm obsessed. :P

She's really growing on me.

Sounds like futuristic Glam Rock. But without the sleeeeeze.

@ompampinos Χαχα, δεν εννοούσα ακριβώς αυτό αλλά δεν πειράζει...:)

@man0um0u Να'σαι καλά. Όταν σε λένε Μπάμπη, τέτοια ανεβάζεις :)

@ompampinos mpravo rei file gia tis tragoudares pou anevazeis! thanks!
ps. apo to onoma to ktlva :)

@man0um0u nai

are you from greece?

@eyetranceend maybe some weed, but think i'm pretty far away. All i need now is a lady gaga/justin bieber comment. And some weed :)

@ompampinos If I would have known you were fiending, I would have hooked you up with a dose.

The acid is kicking in strong now, I just needed that funky ass guitar and horn.

@Crushercurtis702 I read a review that had the theory that it's about wanting to sleep with a Biblical prophet (Elijah).

@travman1984 Hey, that's the first drug related comment on any of my videos, thanks ;)

This makes my teeth feel funny

I wish that ending instrumental bit was its own track. Fantastic.

hipster view count makes me feel uneasy

SO MUCH OVVERATED

Anthony Fantano sent me here :DDD

addicting...
