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.

Know How
Feist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never been here before
Peculiarly entrusted
Possibly that's all
Is history recorded?
Does someone have a tape?
Surely, I'm no pioneer
Just a little bit of danger
When intriguingly
Our little secret
Trust say, trust me
'Cause no one will ever know
That this was happening
So tell me why you listen
When nobody's talking?
Oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity
Oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity
Oh, what is there to know?
Oh, this is what it is
Oh, you and me alone
Sheer simplicity
Feist’s song Know How has very cryptic lyrics that are open to interpretation. At a glance, it seems like the song talks about secrets and trust. The song’s chorus repeats “Oh what is there to know?” and “Sheer simplicity”, signifying that the message is not complex, it is just plain and clear. The song begins by singing “Riding on this know-how, never been here before,” suggesting the feeling of being on a new journey or experience. The second line states, “Peculiarly entrusted, possibly that’s all,” signifying the vulnerability that comes with a new experience.
The line “Just a little bit of danger when intriguingly, our little secret, trust say, trust me,” adds an element of uncertainty to the picture. It gives the feeling that someone is suspending caution to a degree and relying on trust. Later in the song, she suggests that nobody would ever know what is going on between them: “Cause no one will ever know that this was happening.” The song seems to be about taking risks, and how trust and secrecy make it possible for two people to come together. However, at the end of the song, Feist sings, “Oh, you and me alone, Sheer simplicity,” indicating that everything has been reduced to a simple idea between two people.
