Lyrics:
monday morning subway station pushers pushing racers racing came the message on the station the power’s out across the nation
and ladies and gentleman it seems we’ve got a problem the man on my screen said just as somebody shot him
and the mothers gasped the children cried almost could not believe my eyes
the power’s out and no one can save us no one can blame us now
that the power’s out
it was pouring like a movie every stranger looked like they knew me handsome cowboys praying gothic said I just remembered being happy
and “ladies and gentleman do remember me smiling” the queer on the train said as she jumped off the platform
and some blind folks held the police crying I swear to you I would not lie
the power’s out
the power’s out and no one can save us no one can blame us now
that the power’s out
that’s why I never came home

this is one of the most haunting songs i’ve ever heard. the subject matter and structure clearly reference five years by david bowie, but modernized. sonically feels like beach house mixed with joy division, or even cocteau twins. the dream pop/gothic influence is heavy, but it’s still distinctly st. vincent. thank you for such incredible music, annie. all born screaming is easily already one of the best albums of 2024.

Yeah that’s a great catch. Totally nail it with Five Years. I wouldn’t have thought of that but I totally hear it with the opening beat and the story she is telling.

She really captured the feeling of living in these times we are in as a young person, being in the throws of all this crazy shit. Beautiful work Annie!

This is certainly the album's highlight. It sounds so bright sonically, but lyrically, it provides such a somber account of current times

LYRICAL PARALLELS - Monday morning, subway station, pushers pushing, racers racing // Pushing through the market square, so many mothers sighing - Came the message on the station, "The power's out across the nation" // News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in - "Ladies and gentleman it seems we've got a problem" the man on my screen said // News guy wept and told us Earth was really dying - And the mothers gasped, the children cried // Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying - Almost could not believe my eyes // My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare - It was pouring like a movie, every stranger looked like they knew me // And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor - Handsome cowboys praying Gothic // A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest - And "Ladies and gentleman, do remember me smiling" // Smiling and waving and looking so fine - The queer on the train said as she jumped off the platform // And a queer threw up at the sight of that - I swear to you I would not lie // Then I knew he was not lying - No one can save us now // 5 years, that's all we've got edit: formatting

the drum beat at the beginning is also a (digitized-sounding) callback to the opening drums of Five Years

Didn’t understand this track on my first couple of listens despite finding it haunting. Then it clicked and I just love it.

Annie knows we love the bummer tracks at the end of all the records, so All Born Screaming is "Oops! All bummers!" This must be the sequel to Fear the Future

@adjective73 2 ай бұрын

This is the perfect way to put it. I absolutely love the album and it has such a sense of... foreboding, longing, loss, regret, sadness, bittersweet, haunting. Like we're all holding hands watching the mushroom cloud expand.

I have a song called “Annie Clark” if anyone is remotely interested you can find it on my channel. It is the only song I’ve recorded that I listen to because I actually enjoy it.
