Lesseroldertales It’s used as landscape pan music through deep American south in the BBC movie “Searching for Wrong-Eyed Jesus” with Jim White and others. Check it out- it’s great!
That's probably the idea! James Mercer uses a similar effect on one of his songs on the 2007 album "Wincing the Night Away". I'm sure there are earlier and later uses of this effect as well.
Just found that particular song. Yes, both that one and this one are definitely meant to create and maintain a certain mood: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NCf1MlAVDKA.html
She was inspired to write the song after speaking with some child soldiers in Africa I believe. They talked about their life and she was inspired to write this
Lest we forget “Much of the album was written in a single night, following a hallucinatory nightmare Marshall experienced while staying at a farmhouse in South Carolina. Prior to that, Marshall had intended to retire from music. The album was recorded in Melbourne, Australia with Mick Turner and Jim White, of the Australian instrumental band Dirty Three, on guitar and drums, respectively.” ❤️‘s to Chan, dtf
Im aging myself LOL but i remember seeing one of Cat Power's first shows in NYC circa 1995 and remember Chan being so shy she had to play with her back to the audience and it was still an amazing show
I saw her in Chicago around then and she played the songs without pause like a medley. The acoustics were incredible and you could hear a pin drop, we were all so in awe. But she seemed overwhelmed.
This song, just like all of her others, does something to me that I don't understand and can only feel, and it's the feeling of being torn and twisted apart in a way that's exquisitely painful and ecstatically beautiful
Oh how time flies With crystal clear eyes And cold as cold When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a cross bones style Oh come child Come and rescue me Cause you have seen some unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds And still... Cause you have seen some unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds Oh come child In a cross bones style Oh come child come and rescue me Cause you have seen some unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds And still, so still... Oh how time flies With crystal eyes And cold as cold When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a cross bones style Oh come child Come and rescue me Cause you have seen some unbelievable things
Oh how time flies With crystal clear eyes And cold as coal When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come and rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds and still 'Cause you have seen some unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds and still So still Oh how time flies With crystal clear eyes And cold as coal When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come and rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things
Hold up. THAT'S Cat Power!?! She's gorgeous! I've known of her for years. since I got ahold of some of her music back in the day. I'm talking Limewire here. But I've literally never seen her til just now. Not what I pictured at all.
Wow! Cat Power looks cosmic in this video. I wish for a time machine to go back and meet her. But I would not have the nerve to approach her, so it would just be a tremendously wasted trip.
I have to say this is much better than modern pseudo indie-pop singing (Halsey & Billie Ellish being the biggest offenders). The pronunciation here isn’t overdone :)
@@iateyourass More than a little harsh there guy. She gained a little weight and is 20 years older. I'm sure if she got in shape, which she probably will when her kid gets a little older she'll look fully beautiful again.
I was introduced to her voice when an early album of hers was recorded and mixed at a friend's house in Boulder. Now my friend is gone but Cat Power's music remains.
Late to the party, but yeah... eight months after you‘ve written this, it’s still on point. Feeling nostalgic as hell during curfew, confinement, and unemployment...
90's Chan Marshall is the cutest & prettiest of all the girls in the world from the 90's or not.. Every time I watch this video my heart is slowly cracking, like back then when I was this kid buying Moon Pix because love at first sight with the cover. Never regretted.
She had a fucking nervous breakdown after Giovanni dumped her ! BAD Giovanni !!!!! :( They were the greatest couple ! Who gives a rats ass what she looks like NOW !!!
This song really speaks to me. When you go through things you can't explain, a song like this helps you sing out your sorrows. Diamond eyes is a nice way to think of that.
Seriously, wtf is wrong with Cat Power??!! How are all her songs so unbelieavably, beautifully relaxing?! Omg, I'm in such a chill right now my mind is melting all over the place 🤤😶🌫....
I’m not quite sure if I am interpreting the lyrics the way they were intended to be, but I am reflecting on the chaos I’ve endured and have survived in my recovery. I adore the vocals , and the way the instruments coordinate in general .
First saw her live in I believe 96, when she was opening a quadruple bill with Smog, Butterglory and Guv'ner. 'Vulnerable' doesn't even describe how she looked with just a guitar, her eyes hidden behind bangs. I thought she might break down and exist the stage any moment. It was also immediately obvious to everyone there that she was the real deal.
i saw her in 98 or so? she actually DID break down and cried and ran to the bathroom. one of my friends was really drunk and was yelling at her to get her ass back on the stage, but i felt awful for her. she thought she wasn't doing a good job, but she was. another friend and i comforted her and we told my drunk friend to go away or ....anyway we got her back up there for a few more tunes. i couldn't believe her vulnerability. i had been in tons of bands at that point, and no matter how bad (and some were BAD), i just kept playing and to hell with what people thought. it was like all she was opposite. she only cared what WE thought of her. hopefully she has gotten over that by now!
@@silvergirlie She played at my college in the early 2000s and sort of fled abruptly during the performance in a way that seemed like it wasn't the planned end of her set. I had read about her difficulties being on stage and wasn't surprised. Later I saw her as she was leaving the building and really wanted to say something (honestly, I wanted to outright give her a hug, I felt such so much for her then) but was sure my attention would have made her feel worse, especially at a time when she wanted to escape.
Matador exec: "Chan, we need a music video for your single" Chan: "Sure, what's the budget?" Matador exec: chuckles* "Budget?" Chan: takes a long wistful drag from her cigarette*
@@te9591 Not like it used to be. I first visited in 1994. It had nothing to do with "grunge", fuck that fake garbage. I moved there September 1997. From then up to about 2007, it was amazing. I held on for 10 more years, but that was all I could take. My city had left me.
@@te9591 The term "grunge" is fake. It was made up by record label executives that didn't know how else to market this "new" type of music. In the 80's it would have simply fallen under the "college radio" umbrella. What scene did I draw my influence from? CRASS. Billie Holiday. Buck Owens. Bakersfield. No cohesive scene, just a collection of misfits.
@@joshuahenderson5023 I was in NE Portland in the late 90s. It was like a punk mecca. Cooked for Food not Bombs 2X a week to justify my spot on the floor. I drew the flyers for a lot of those shows too. My GF got excepted to Reed College in 2001and I moved to SE and started robbing weed dealers. lol Good times.
I bought it this because it was kind of the end of the 'Riot Grrrl" movement or whatever- and Bands like Hole and 7 Year Bitch were putting out lousy records (i'm talking later 90s output once again, as both have terrific early 90s records) and she was on Matador and Sonic Youth & Beasties really liked her. I got it off BMG (!!!- you all ready know it was a scam on my pre-treen end) and to this very day, I try to listen all the time. This is a perfect album.
