There are a lot of reasons I miss David Letterman. One of them was that he exposed me to a lot of music that I really love now. Here is where I discovered St. Vincent.
@drummerwes8115 жыл бұрын
Imagine being in that audience and seeing this for the very first time, not knowing who St. Vincent is...I'd be totally blown away and an instant fan. I'm addicted to this song and this album and I love the explosion of sound the band is capable of producing. Sounds amazing

Wow -- a comment from 10 years ago. It's been a long time that I heard this song. Yes, the Letterman performance was a stunner. Even Paul Shafer looked like he was caught off guard. Standing there with a big smile on his face.

I've found that "young" Clark is a great way to get acquaintances hooked on present-day Clark. Annie really is a wonderful composer of "pop music." Her earworms never become annoying or vapid.

Wow...I remember seeing this live on tv. I never watch Letterman ever. But I was one night, randomly....and this performance came on. I remember just being slackjawed, my eyes glued to the tv. It was so original and so incredibly weird...but all with a sense of complete confidence and control. Idk...it just blew me away. Been a fan ever since.

Wow had a very similar experience rarely watched network tv at the time I was just flipping through channels for some reason and stopped for a second and heard the clarinets. I've seen St. Vincent live and even have my own Harmony H15 reissue Bobkat. It was my main guitar for a time. Turns out I probably would have come across them eventually but I'm glad I found them when I did. Annie and her fellow musicians influenced me quite a bit.

At the begining you see her start to smile while singing. I know that feeling she felt at that point. She was so happy with the sound. Ive played a couple of shows and that feeling is rare but when it happens you get this overwhelming joy you just have to smile. And i believe the house band helped her with that song and man did it make a big diffrence.
