Cindy Santini. Making Sound. Cindy Santini - Making Sound. One of the best songs written about the illusory intimacy fostered the internet. St Vincent — aka Texas songwriter Annie Clark — was singing about how social media fed our narcissism and gave us a fake sense of our place in the world.
He sings — with a gently swaying, almost resigned delivery — surrealist lyrics that likens a past relationship to a brief high, from the perspective of the comedown that follows. Piano-man Wainwright can be too ornate for his own good, but he lands his blows here in this soul-baring recounting of a violent disagreement with his father.
