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!
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
"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..." ("the power's out" / "five years")
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
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.
So I’m currently having a severe depersonalization-derealization episode and this song is really something that brings me back on the ground and keeps me relatively sane
esta canción me hace llorar, es hermosa y estoy profundamente obsesionado con ella, me tomó dos semanas digerirla pero ahora la comprendo y la amo 😍😭😭😭😭😭 / this song makes me cry, so beautiful and i'm super obsessed, it takes me 2 weeks understand it and now i'm in love with this incredible song 😍😭😭😭😭😭
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.

It's also kinda Portishead : )
Grammy worthy.
This Album is definitely Grammy Worthy! It's SO F'N GOOD! But we don't have a vote on that. ❤ Be well.
Best song on the album that is already magnificent in its entirety.
This is certainly the album's highlight. It sounds so bright sonically, but lyrically, it provides such a somber account of current times
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!
Top 3 track on the album for me
This new album is making me so happy today.
Brilliant and delightful artist!
Didn’t understand this track on my first couple of listens despite finding it haunting. Then it clicked and I just love it.
We got 5 years, stuck on my eyes...
omg THAT’S what it reminded me of!!!

Yep.
Best song in the album by far
"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..."
("the power's out" / "five years")
the drum beat at the beginning is also a (digitized-sounding) callback to the opening drums of Five Years
NEW ST. VINCENT ALBUM IS FINALLY HERE! Thank you, Annie!
The songwriting and the pace reminds me of late Bowie.
Am I the only one to recall Brian Eno's first Albums listening to these songs ?
Yes. Go back and listen to them again.
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

i love that this is an inverse of Five Years. It's hopeful
I love this song especially !
3:32 I mean the whole song like I can’t. I just discovered you like a month ago and I’m obsessed wtf.
Such a punch it's making me feel some things 🥲
far and away my favorite. absolutely haunting.
Watched your interview with Zane the other day. Absolutely love your take on Goyas “Black Painting” and the music is 🖤
I’m scared but in awe at the same time
You know its only music right?
New St. Vincent track drops the day I first discover? I’m here for it
You’re just in time, the album came out rn!!
welcome!! very excited for you to delve into her music. Shes amazing
My reward for staying up too late ❤
Reminds me of the early albums which is the highest compliment I can give
mark my word
I love this song…
highlight of the album
Fabulous !
The spiritual successor to Fear the Future, like Daddy’s Home follows up on Year of the Tiger.
Did I hear this album thirty years ago?
Her best Album ❤
Un aura Portishead, PJ Harvey. Me gusta
great, predective programming music....clever U R!!!
I missed this version of you.
That's why... I neverrr came home
🎧▶🎶⚡
eu te amo tanto 🧡
Comment so the algorithm can pick this great song up better
♥️♥️♥️
Bowie’s Five Years beat
@kerogas_ I'd say her work is very much Bowie-like
Also about an apocalypse. 👍🏼
Eh Bowie didnt do "beats" on 5 Years. We used to call it a rhythm section.
crystal light

Peace Love Cool
I made a Civil War movie edit to this song! It’s on my instagram. Same username. This song instantly reminded me of the movie.
Gotta check her new stuff out!!!! totally lost track of her after the snore-fest "daddy's home" was
Thanks for the shoutout Annie❤
03:37 - Aerosmith - Crazy
Hang on me's little sister
What is it about Annie that makes me hear Bowie❤❤❤
👍
Come back …
how does this have less than 1K views? people have no taste fr
It. Literally. Just dropped. Today.
5 years left for trying....
Nice
power should come in more dynamic......
I got a little left just in case.
Yeah i've tried to like her voice but I can't. Lol
Not all humans are blessed with taste. Stick with Ed Sheeran, he is more your speed😂😂

This drags but it’s giving Kate bush so I’ll allow it
It neither drags nor gives Kate Bush !!
@@hamptoonythecat2171we can’t agree on anything can we
@@jacobprince6602I guess not 🙊
Go drag a bush I’ll allow it
Its fine , nice enough or pleasant. A bit woozy which is good. Not new but ok.
