She performs as a solo artist under the name Feist and also as a member of Broken Social Scene.
Raised in Regina and Calgary, Feist got her start in music as the lead vocalist for a punk band called Placebo (not the more famous British band Placebo), who won a local Battle of the Bands competition and were awarded the opening slot at a Ramones concert. After five years of touring, Feist was forced to take time off from music to recover from voice damage. She moved from Calgary to Toronto in 1998 and took up guitar; by 1999, she was the guitarist for By Divine Right. She also released her debut solo album, Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down), that year. The album was financed by a grant from the Canadian government.
In 2000, Feist moved in as a roommate with Peaches and Gonzales, and appeared as a guest vocalist on The Teaches of Peaches and Presidential Suite. She then joined the recording sessions for Broken Social Scene's albums Feel Good Lost and You Forgot It in People.
Feist then moved to Paris, and while in Europe, she collaborated with Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience as a guest vocalist on their album Riot on an Empty Street. Feist recorded her second solo album, Let It Die, in Paris in 2002 and 2003. That album, a combination of jazz and bossa nova was hailed as one of the best Canadian pop albums of 2004 and got her two Juno Awards (The Canadian equivalent of the Grammys). This album also helped her to gain a significant international audience.
She released a remix album entitled Open Season in April 2006.
From different directions, it is said the voice of Feist fits in the range of Ella Fitzgerald or more of an alternative Norah Jones.
Her third album The Reminder was released on April, 23rd 2007 in Europe, and May, 1st in the rest of the world and is composed of thirteen tracks. Pitchfork rated the album an 8.8.
Her song 1234 from The Reminder was also used in a commercial for the third generation iPod nano. Feist wrote the song with Sally Seltmann, an Australian singer who records as New Buffalo. Speaking with Songfacts, Sellmann said she wrote the song after a good friend told her she was leaving her husband.
Also, her song Mushaboom was used on a Lacoste commercial for their fragrance, A Touch of Pink (as seen in south america), while shortly afterwards, My Moon My Man was used to promote a mobile phone newly released by LG. She also sang the soundtrack for Paris, je t'aime: La même histoire
Her fourth album Metals was was recorded live over a period of two and a half weeks inside a house on the Northern California coast. It was released on September 30, 2011 in Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden and Belgium; October 3, 2011 in the United Kingdom; and October 4, 2011 in the United States and Canada.

Feist Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Sweetheart, bitter heart now I can't tell you apart
Cozy and cold, put the horse before the cart
Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Who you are-are-are-are, ooh-ooh
Oh, for the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart

One, two, three, four
Monsters walking ‘cross the floor
I love counting
Counting to the number four
Oh you’re counting
Counting with me
To one less than five
And one more than three
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Penguins that went by the door
I love counting
Counting to the number four
I see four here
I see four there
My favorite number
Nothing can compare
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Chickens just back from the shore
I love counting
Counting to the number four
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Chickens just back from the shore
One, two, three, four
Penguins that went by the door
One, two, three, four
Monsters walking ‘cross the floor
Counting to four
Counting to four
Counting to four
Counting to four

This song makes me want to time travel back to 2007 and start all over.
Marina Pinheiro
Wow, literally the time I was a teenager. Unfortunately I had no hopes at that time, all I could think about was dying. But hey, here I am at my 30 and still alive
Festivus for the rest of us
It's that the truth.

i can't believe ppl are nostalgic about 2007
Czeck TJ
I'd tell my much younger self from back then, NOT AND NEVER take anything for granted. Take advantage of worthy level athletic levels for your age.
Czeck TJ
@Cydonia2020 Definitely the same here.
Holly Maria
mate. you never know how much of an impact one song can have to your life. my parents got me my first ipod when i was a kid and it had a few music videos that i could watch on it. this song was one of them and i used to watch it in bed before id go to sleep. years and years later when i cant sleep i find myself singing this song in my head to make me fall asleep

Every time I hear this I think about the girl who broke my heart. Only one to date. Although the list a whole lot longer, just never hurt like that again thank god. But back then I used to feel like it was meant for me in some grand scheme, and maybe she was hurt and thinking about me too listening to it. I don't have any of those misconceptions anymore. Just a song they used to sell phone while she dates some obese dude with crazy straws in his hair. What an melancholic feeling this song conjures though.

I used to listen to this on my blue ipod nano as I went to sleep when I was younger. The world felt so innocent back then.
