Not really, friend. It's among what I consider her cinematic songs, ie made for a movie that doesn't exist yet.

What is “a typical Annie song” lmao

Again, I think a comparison with Bowie is relevant here. "The Man Who Sold The Word", "Life On Mars", "Golden Years", "Sound and Vision" , "Ashes To Ashes", "Let's Dance", "Little Wonder" and "Hallo Spaceboy", to name but a few, are all typical Bowie songs. But they don't sound anything alike.

Annie Clark reinvents herself every album, even during an album tour, and gets herself a new look, her songs a new sound. I really hope she doesn't ever write a 'typical' St. Vincent song, I really like to be shocked, surprised and stunned with a new song or sound that sounds nothing like the last one.

i kind of agree here. i have to give it a few more listens i feel like im neglecting it lol

It’s definitely a lot more... raw and unadulterated. It’s pretty blunt in its suicide message, unlike Slow Disco which made it more poetic and artistic.

As a song itself it kind of lacks appeal but I appreciate the honesty and pain it must have took to write the song... I think that’s maybe why it gives off a different vibe
