The Party Lyrics

Cover art for The Party lyrics by St. Vincent

It is such a hot, romantic song. To me it is what happens to Cinderella when she ignores the midnight curfew. The prince is into her anyway, regardless of class standing or money in her pockets. So they just stay and close the ball down. All the other suitors she that they have no chance and leave. I especially love when the song switches to a waltz tempo and you can almost see the glitter ball and the confetti...and streamers and what not. It's just such a great start to a relationship. The imagery of her turned out pockets and hopefully acceptance by the prince....Ou la la...it would be hotter still if this were about David Byrne. They are so good on stage together.
