Beautiful. I honestly don't understand how anybody could DISlike this. You can just see the happiness in her voice, her face and the way she plays her guitar. Made my day :)
Always a bittersweet twist and some humour in her stuff...warring emotions rise to the surface for this listener. Looking forward to her performance at this year's Valley Stage along with Rani Arbo and the Duhks.
this is so good it made me cry. she has a FANTASTIC voice and live presence. i heard her for the fist time yesterday and now i am desperate to hear more. thanks for the video, and if anyone has more, pleasepleaseplease share
it's because she's relatively unknown still. i have her cd on my itunes right now because i had a friend find it at langdon street cafe in montpelier vermont. if you live in vermont and ask around enough you should be able to find it.
This has the same emotional and musical intelligence of Iris Dement's "Wasteland Of The Free" Never heard Anais before but she is clearly a great talent.
(2nd Half) oh, honey, what did i tell you about the house being bugged? they can hear us making breakfast, they can hear us making love but excuse me a minute- big brothers at the door and hes ready to party like its 1984 you know youre my one and only; you always have been sure is gonna be lonely after i turn you in so ill wait till tomorrow to file my report and tonight we can party like its 1984
It actually is funny during the first listen, at least for me. Then you actually listen again, and you have that 'dear god' moment, and realize what you laughed at.
***** meh, its black humor, some find that funny on occasion, some find it horrible all the time, just a matter of opinion *shrug* I only ever laughed the first time, I'm simply pointing out another view point, ya know?
been coming back to this one for over 15 years
Lyrically, one of the best songs ever.

great song, voice, words, refrences and simplicity
My old roommate and I used to be obsessed with her. We'd go to all of her shows in NH. I think she's amazing. Amazing.
I love this song and it makes me wanna read 1984 again! Great footage I like it when you can properly see how a song is played.
Lorna Kelso Please read again that book 1984. :)
That's why she's so good live! Her passion for the music is contagious.
This is so beautiful.
Been coming back to this for years. 2020 now.
Sweet! Hope they're still rockin'!
i really enjoyed her music before i watched her play..now i am in love :) I throughly enjoy this song!

Baby voice and maybe not the best guitar player in the world but it works and her texts are beautiful indeed.. Great video, thanks !
Fantastic song.
That was awesome.

Anais Mitchell is one of the most striking and intelligent artists I've ever heard.

@squazz The others are Louis Ledford, Rachel Ries, and Robert Blake. They are all amazing.

people laugh at the end of this song as if it were a joke. not even remotely funny people...
It actually is funny during the first listen, at least for me. Then you actually listen again, and you have that 'dear god' moment, and realize what you laughed at.
Nick Allison yeah, not so much for me. if my house was burning down with all of the people i love inside of it, i wouldnt consider that "funny"
***** meh, its black humor, some find that funny on occasion, some find it horrible all the time, just a matter of opinion *shrug* I only ever laughed the first time, I'm simply pointing out another view point, ya know?
Nick Allison
yeah my concern is that most people either dont know or care about the broader implications
I can understand that. It's easier to just laugh instead of actually consider it. "It's not my problem" they'll say.
