This young lady deserves a place at the table of the best singer songwriters and arrangers of all time. She's out there quietly creating something very few people can do on this level
[Intro] Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple By now, I think I know the difference You wanna be a son of someone [Verse 1] Remember the time we went and snorted That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted And we had such a laugh of it? Prostrate on my carpet [Verse 2] You traced the Andes with your index And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next All with sons of someone's All with sons of someone's [Chorus 1] Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy [Verse 3] Prince Johnny, you're kind, but do be careful By now I know just when to stand clear When all your friends and acolytes are holding Court in bathroom stalls [Chorus 2] Where you pray to all to make you a real boy Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy [Bridge] But honey, don't mistake my affection For another spit-and-penny style redemption Cause we're all sons of someone's We're all sons of someone's I wanna mean more than I mean to you I wanna mean more than I meant to him [Chorus 3] So I pray to all to make me a real girl So I pray to all to make me a real girl So I pray to all, all, all, all
I recently discovered St. Vincent, and have been listening to the back catalog. I must say. I haven't felt such excitement and admiration over another musician for over a decade. Such beautiful singing, stunning instrumental playing and great songwriting, very few musicians can successfully ride this profoundly powerful triangle. Thank you so much for all that you have created so far. You have inspired and encouraged me to start writing songs again. If you ever play in the UK, I will be there. I cannot fully express in words how your music has effected me, but at the very least I can say that it has changed my life, and it feels great. You have my love, support and best wishes.
What a superb, intelligent, talented artist St Vincent is. My personal opinion. Very creative. It's rewarding, interesting, to me that Jack Kerouac's Beat literary fans are still, 50+ years after his death, getting to enjoy art made in his image. I think it's wonderful that he still has an influence.
This is unfair... This is ridiculous. THIS IS GOD TIER. Wow Annie... Just wow. My life is once again complete. Can't wait for the 27th. House Of Blues, Boston. Oh my stars!
I know, right? Livenation almost fucked me over haha. I got my tickets though. Definitely do EVERYTHING in your power to make it, cuz it will be sooo worth it. Hope to see you there!

tear-inducing heights here, just brilliant on all fronts... and... actual creative BASS which has been missing from white alternative (whatevz) pop for too long - LOVE!
every time she hits that...you...know...THAT...part...I want to cry.
I feel the same
elrynx2 so you pray to allll allll allll
As soon as she says "prince Johnny" i want to cry. I love her so much.
elrynx2 well you get to a point where you hear it the first time in the song
@@CelineOracle It's the part from 3:07 - 3:18, specifically the "mean more than I meant to you..." part.
The beat, her throbbing, ethereal vocals, that eerie background choir, the sparse, grinding guitar...I'm in love.
Yes! everything about this song is fucking amazing! St.Vincent is Queen!
¡ESO!
Listen to Champagne Year.
wonderfullllllllll!
Fantano's got a crush!
Jake Bowley haven't you heard? he's taken.
wkavre ????
FZmustacheFZ yeah, man. he doesn't care what opinionated dudes like you think.
wkavre OH SHIT no my bad, I thought you said "she's taken". No, I was asking you who was dating Annie, but yeah nevermind haha sorry

totally agree
When this song ends, I feel an emptyness in my chest.
marcelo ratzkowski are you still alive?
When my chest ends, i feel an emptyness in this song
god are you kidding? I feel an emptiness throughout the entire song. smh
Then Huey Newton comes and everything is fixed
Listen to Champagne Year.
0:50 idk why this part stands out to me the most. It just feels like watching someone do the most simplest thing yet still being in awe.
please tell me i'm not the only one who feels softly strangled while listening this...
Your really not
Not alone
Her slow tempo jams move me deep within.
They stir my loins!
mmm
Yum
Isnt this the only one they have?
@@ZomgWowzersBlastoise check out Landmines, Dilettante, and Live in the Dream!
that bass or very dark low pitched guitar on the chorus is unbelieveble. everything is beautiful.
That's a guitar, and it is a perfect example of Annie's mastery of her craft. She has *all* the chops, but only uses them to serve the music
coming back to this after listening to happy birthday, johnny.
yeeeeeee same
This song represents me spiritually.
assuming the spiritual exists
Calm down Nietzsche
flake
Most beautiful song i ever heard.. seen her perform this live three times and it still brings a tears.. Long Live St. Vincent!!
she never played anything slow for the three shows I've seen high energy sings only in NYC
I feel like this song understands me. Thank you.
How could anyone possibly dislike this?
[Intro]
Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple
By now, I think I know the difference
You wanna be a son of someone
[Verse 1]
Remember the time we went and snorted
That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted
And we had such a laugh of it?
Prostrate on my carpet
[Verse 2]
You traced the Andes with your index
And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
All with sons of someone's
All with sons of someone's
[Chorus 1]
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
[Verse 3]
Prince Johnny, you're kind, but do be careful
By now I know just when to stand clear
When all your friends and acolytes are holding
Court in bathroom stalls
[Chorus 2]
Where you pray to all to make you a real boy
Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
[Bridge]
But honey, don't mistake my affection
For another spit-and-penny style redemption
Cause we're all sons of someone's
We're all sons of someone's
I wanna mean more than I mean to you
I wanna mean more than I meant to him
[Chorus 3]
So I pray to all to make me a real girl
So I pray to all to make me a real girl
So I pray to all, all, all, all
Annie Clark, you are so special and talented.
Prince Johnny is the Dilettante of her new album and they both remain my favorite St. Vincent songs.
St. Vincent is what happens when someone gives enough of a shit to write thoughtful, beautiful lyrics, and SICK, original beats.
TELL.IT.LIKE.IT.IS ! :') 👍
Yekay yeke You know it, girl.
AND has incredible talent, AND is willing to be vulnerable to the public. She is my hero.

Best song of the album. "Every Tear Disappears" is fantastic too.
Radiohead fan?
One of the best songs on this amazing album
absolutely perfect
Hello again n_n
+ಠ_ృ again?
Olivia Sun
I've seen you around a few times. Remember? I replied to one of your Mr. Robot related comments, but it's okay if you don't remember me xD
+ಠ_ృ Ohh that one did blow up. Lol, nice to hear from you (again)-Congrats on your music taste!
Olivia Sun Likewise! And an equally good taste in TV! *(> ^-^)>
Thank you for existing.
Just found this and..Mind blown. On repeat.
I can't believe this song was on iZombie! :D I'm so happy!
The show is the reason why i'm here. Both awesome
This song is incredible.
Happy Birthday, Johnny
I'm heavily addicted to her music.
This is unfair... This is ridiculous. THIS IS GOD TIER. Wow Annie... Just wow. My life is once again complete. Can't wait for the 27th. House Of Blues, Boston. Oh my stars!
I'm trying so damn hard to be able to make that show. Don't know if it's gonna be possible though, damn real life.
I know, right? Livenation almost fucked me over haha. I got my tickets though. Definitely do EVERYTHING in your power to make it, cuz it will be sooo worth it. Hope to see you there!
I can't get this song out of my head. I can't wait for the new album!!
Haven't listened to this in maybe two years - even better and even more resonant now.
Such a unique and talented artist. Glad we have such beauties like her making music with creativity and originality.
This song is literally beauty put into words. 😻
this song hits me so deeply
Don't compare her to them, she's on a completely different level. Her music exudes authenticity.
already one of the best singles of 2014, breathtaking
Best one yet from the new LP!
First St. Vincent song I've heard....
Yes.
mine too :)
I love St. Vincent and all her music!!!
This LP is great. Prince Johnny, Huey Newton & Digital Witness one after the other. As good as it gets.
The vocal melody is amazing
Annie sounds warmer than ever! Wanting to connect... very refreshing.
Those drums.
Thanks, John.
This sounds a lot more like Strange Mercy. I can dig it!
She is brilliant. Something truly special
This song kills me every time ! LOL sob sob sob !!
stunning music
Oh, Annie, you speak to my lost soul.........
srsly, I almost never ever buy albums these days, but I'll be purchasing this CD the day it drops.
this is so wonderful. ahh.
Thanks St Vincent!
It melts my heart. I love John.
She's awesome
The guitar on the background playing in the verses are so good
MASTERPIECE 🎼🎵🎶🎙
LOVE IT❤
This is the best song yet!
I adore this record.
As of right now this is my FAVORITE SONG! on this album.
The ambiance is fucking impeccable
Thank you for not using any voice harmonizer, auto-tune and silicone.
Peter Kroll, Singapore
ahaha that last part got me
St Vincent's music is so real and floaty and raw and I love it.
I just can't stop listen to this song >
Why voice is sounds so amazing?
This is so beautiful.
Sueño con un trabajo en conjunto entre St vincent y Bjork.... Sería perfección pura.... Love!!!
3:19
Another brilliant St. Vincent song. My favorite is still "Marrow" from Actor but this tune is great as well.
This is great! First heard on BBC 6 Music a couple of weeks ago.
can we just take a moment to realise that she got the word 'Prostate' to fit into a song so well. You go, you.
prostrate, not prostate lol. as in laying flat on the floor.
So far, already album of the year for me!

This song is fantasmic
I love that keyboards
This is building to be the best st. Vincent album yet
Here because of iZombie. Thank you iZombie for introducing me to this awesome song. The show has a great music supervisor.
She & the band R the REAL Deal.
This rules omg annie this album is going to be the greatest thing the music world has like ever seen
Best one of the three new released songs!
new york and happy birthday johnny
Definitely my favourite track of those so far dropped. With this track, I have renewed interest in the album. Güd werk
PURE FIRE
No puedo quitarme esta canción de la cabeza
10 yea ago.NOW 24 ❤
i can't stop listening 2 thisss
just beautiful,coming to bristol england in august,cant wait
Stunning Stuff.
Such a class song. Best one on that album by miles. Not that the others were bad but they really didn't click with me like the rest of her albums did.
Temazo!
So excited for the 21st when I'm seeing her in concert!!!!
Amazing...
tear-inducing heights here, just brilliant on all fronts... and... actual creative BASS which has been missing from white alternative (whatevz) pop for too long - LOVE!
I love that choral synth pad. Kind of sounds like a mellotron, but it also kind of sounds like it was built from a vocal sample of Annie.
Reminds me of Radiohead's Exit Music effect a the end of the song too! Love it.
Just noticed her breathing. It adds a lot to the intensity.
This is great! I'm very excited about the rest of the album!
So glad she collaborated with Kid Cudi on Maniac, otherwise I would've never discovered such greatness.
ikr!! that's how i found about her also...so happy i did. she's magical.
She didn't collborate with him on that you idiot. He sampled "The Strangers"
Check your facts. On Maniac it says ''Ft. Cage & St. Vincent'' and all 3 of them performed together on Jimmy Fallon. Idiot.
izombie + Shazam = This Moment of joy
Lionheart Mind Explosion I swear! ❤️👌🏾
scent of Abba, wonderfull...
This is really good. I love all of your new songs so far.
hermosoo 🥰
holy. shit.
