1) Feist is Canadian singer and songwriter Leslie Feist;
2) Feist was a British drum 'n' bass artist active during the 1990s.
1) Feist is Canadian singer and songwriter Leslie Feist (born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, on 13 February 1976) who performs as a solo artist and also as a member of Broken Social Scene. Because her father is American, Feist has dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship.
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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Bring a lot of love, bring a lot of love
Bring a lot of love
And you knew we'd be left
Wear a yellow hat
I catch you fallen at the laundromat
See pilot soon
And even he would give you your
Flight number, flight number
Flight number flight
Flight number, flight number
Flight number flight
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
See a tailor soon
He'll call you on your life of silver spoon
No one gets a say on how to raise
And in what, way, way, way, way
Put some faith in the apartment twine
Get red key and a door to lock up
I like to think I am a one way lie
So you don't wait until the time is right
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
Three oh three
The song "Flight" by Feist is a rather cryptic and abstract piece, and its lyrics provide a glimpse into a story that is partly fictional and partly real. The song starts with the repetition of the numbers "Three oh three", which represents a flight number, and sets the stage for the rest of the song. The following lines "bring a lot of love, bring a lot of love, bring a lot of love" could be interpreted as an instruction to the person getting on the flight to bring love with them, perhaps as a reminder to remain optimistic and positive throughout their journey.
The verse "and you knew would be left way way waiting" suggests that the person is leaving someone behind, and that they would have to endure a long wait before they meet again. The last line of this verse could also imply a sense of loneliness and uncertainty that the traveler may feel. The lines "wear a yellow hat, I catch you fallen at the laundromat" and "see a tailor soon, he'll call you on your life of silver spoon" may be referring to different stages of the character's life or experiences, and they seem unrelated to the main plot of the story. However, what is apparent is that they add to the overall mysterious and dreamlike quality of the song.
The chorus "flight number, flight number, flight number flight" repeats the flight number again, reminding the listener of the impending journey. The line "put some faith in the apartment twine" could be interpreted as an allusion to something that the traveler relies on to stay grounded, perhaps a metaphorical reference to a stabilizing force in their life. The last verse "I like to think I am a one way lie, so you don't wait until the time is right" could suggest that the person is deceiving themselves and others, by not revealing their true feelings about leaving or waiting for someone to return.
Overall, Feist's "Flight" is a moody and introspective piece that leaves much open to interpretation. Its lyrics describe a journey of sorts, both literal and metaphorical, that is fraught with longing, nostalgia, and hope.
