people always talk abt the character John/johnny reoccuring throughout st. vincent's discog, but i just wanna point out she's also alluded to marilyn monroe in 3 songs so far (surgeon, los ageless, this song) & i think thats really cool!
I'm 57, I've heard of St. Vincent but couldn't tell you the name of one of their songs. I've now heard at least 3 off this album I'm not likely to forget in a long time. I'm stunned by the level of skill and talent displayed on this album.
A comatose-state of listening. Such chill vibes. An instant classic and homage to the 70’s era/female icons. The sound we didn’t expect but all needed. You are an exceptional artist. Thank you, Annie 🙏❤️.
To me, this song is about how St. Vincent views her idols as much stronger than herself, and having to put up with far greater obstacles. She’s not honest. She’s not a survivor. She’s just a “benzo beauty queen.” Of course, I don’t share the same view (I ❤️ St. Vincent,) but she’s being typically sardonic and self-effacing. She’s saying even the fact that she’s a role model is a sign that the world is ending. But as the song closes, the voices of these great, female figures are encouraging her not to sink into despondency. So what if the world is ending? It’s just the melting of the sun.
I agree with a lot of this, but I’m not sure she’s talking about the literal end of the world. It’s obvious she’s aware of the cult that’s built up around her, that she’s some sort of “sun” idol. The melting is another metamorphosis she’s going through, a new persona she’s adopted for this phase of her career. She gets just as much pleasure from the varied reactions of her adherents to these transformations as she gets from creating them in the first place. I admit I wasn’t a huge fan of her last record; I know folks who hated the self-titled album and wished she’d go back to being the cute and cloying performer who’d interact with her audiences directly. I don’t know; this comment might be some self-delusional bullshit, but I like it, and no who matters in my life will ever read it.
@@andrewraymond3657 I like your interpretation. After a few days thinking the song over, I agree that St. Vincent may be the sun herself, as implied in the video. It’s “melting” is about her own self-destruction, rather than the actual end of the world. I think the pandemic was influencing my perspective. It also explains why the apparent suicide of “Jane” in Malibu opens the song. It’s a warning sign that she doesn’t heed. Celebrity is destructive. I think you picked up on the fact that she’s not watching the sun herself, she’s watching us watch it, which would suggest it is herself as well. I’ve been a fan of St. Vincent since Marry Me and found each album better than the last. I love that we can analyze her lyrics endlessly. Can’t wait for the new one.
This is a good read, but I take the line "melting of the sun" somewhat differently. I think "the melting of the sun" here represents the imminent end to a long era of oppressive patriarchy that unjustly weighed upon all the women in this song. St. Vincent, to a certain degree, "missed that party." She "heard the gun" but was "slow to run." To remark that "St. Joni ain't no phony," implies that St. Vincent see herself as something of a phony, someone who "never cried" but instead "lied" to spare herself that same suffering. The sun is what humanity's understanding of our existence literally revolves around. That heliocentrism is analogous to our own patriarchal society where men have long been at the centre of everything. Thus, the melting of the sun represents not the literal end of the world, but the end of a particular societal worldview. St. Vincent wants to experience the catharsis of being able to watch her idols witness that age come to an end, because she believes they are the ones who have truly earned that honour, not some "benzo beauty queen."
I think it's her approach to production what makes it jarring, precisely, that first listen. Afterwards, the same production techniques are the ones that keep you coming back to it, because there's so much to squeeze out of it. Annie and Jack Antonoff applied the same modus for Masseduction, but they seem to have improved it for Daddy's Home, so this album's gonna be a blast.
@@SergioAllIndie that ain't it. the lowest-end tracks on masseduction are the ones antonoff got his hands on, making for easily her worst record (which is still good by a lot of other musicians' standards, but still...) and from what i can tell he had nothing to do w/ this one...

When Pay Your Way In Pain dropped last month, my first thought- and comment, still on here- was Y Kant St. Vincent Read? (It's nice to find my Tribe's thread on here- I feel Seen.)
@@lolavazquez4204 jimi hendrix (the Black man who basically invented rock) has a lot of psychedelic songs. the beatles, pink floyd, prince, david bowie all had some psychedelic stuff too.
Immaculate Nu-70's-Glam-Rock sound and aesthetic. It's like Annie already knew I have a secret obsession with T. Rex a la Tanx and elaborate performance art. Already pre-ordered the vinyl. I couldn't help myself!
I never knew I needed a Schoolhouse Rock!-style music video from St. Vincent dedicated to the trailblazing female icons that came before her. This is pure fucking art from the heart.
presented in 4:3 to annoy everyone more like it. and the real kicker is that the video is actually in 16:9 but letterboxed with black bars. not to mention this music is stolen from black artists that existed 50 years ago. you really think this pop product has artistic integrity?
@@st20332 the entire sound. go listen to some funk, motown and rock music from the 50s/60s/70s. all of those genres were invented by black artists in case you didn't know, and were completly shunned by mainstream record companies until white people got into it.
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
I met her after one of her shows on her Actor tour, maybe around 2009/2010? She was just chilling in the lobby after the show, and there were just a handful of people there, everyone else had left. So we got to talk to her for a while-really fun conversation- she's awesome.
This whole album is just the absolute best thing I’ve heard maybe ever. Since March of 2020 it’s like I’ve been waiting for something really good to come along to alleviate all the covid related and political strife of the last year and THIS is the record. It’s like being on really good drugs except it’s healthy for you.

In response to something someone else posted but needs a fuller airing outside that thread; I’m not sure she’s talking about the literal end of the world. It’s obvious she’s aware of the cult that’s built up around her, that she’s some sort of “sun” idol. The melting is another metamorphosis she’s going through, a new persona she’s adopted for this phase of her career.

Can we all appreciate how good Annie's background singers are? ♥️
The world needs more backup singers

Yes!!!!
I love them. It reminds me of when Laura Nyro had Labelle sing “back up” on Gonna Take A Mirracle. They are better show cased on the SNL performances.
Pretty sure you've got a choir of Annies back there. On the records she does most of the singing on her own.
Live it is a different story of course.

But I was slow to run
It's just the melting of the sun
(It's just the sun)
I wanna watch you watch it burn
(So watch it burn)
Saint Joni ain't no phony
Smoking reds where Furry sang the blues
My Marilyn shot her heroin
"Hell, " she said, "It's better than abuse"
So who am I trying to be?
A benzo beauty queen?
It's just the melting of the sun
(It's just the sun)
I wanna watch you watch it burn
(So watch it burn)
We always knew this day would come
(The day has come)
It's just the melting of the sun
Brave Tori told her story
Police said they couldn't catch the man
Proud Nina got subpoenaed
Singing "Mississippi good goddamn"
But me, I never cried
To tell the truth, I lied
Girl, the world's spinning 'round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out
Girl, the world's spinning 'round
Spinning down and out of time
Girl, you can't give in now
When you're down, down and out
listening to this song has become a part of my daily routine
In response to something someone else posted but needs a fuller airing outside that thread; I’m not sure she’s talking about the literal end of the world. It’s obvious she’s aware of the cult that’s built up around her, that she’s some sort of “sun” idol. The melting is another metamorphosis she’s going through, a new persona she’s adopted for this phase of her career. She gets just as much pleasure to the varied reactions of her adherents to these transformations as she gets from creating them in the first place. I admit I wasn’t a huge fan of her last record; I know folks who hated the self-titled album and wished she’d go back to being the cute and cloying performer who’d interact with her audiences directly. I don’t know; this comment might be some self-delusional bullshit, but I like it, and no who matters in my life will ever read it.
WHAT A MASTERPIECE
in another time this would be in the top 100 charts..
Maybe that time is still ahead (:
