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.

One Evening
Feist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My guesses were true
You saw me see you
That something you said
The timing was right
The pleasure was mine
The time and the place
Sincerest of eyes
If you're ready or not
The state of our hearts
There's no time to take
When we started
Both brokenhearted
Not believing
It could begin and end in one evening
We were caught by the light
Held onto the day
'Til it became hours
The minutes went by
The cab is outside
There's no time to take
When we parted
Moving on
And believing
It could begin and end in one evening
When we started
Both brokenhearted
Not believing
It could begin and end in one evening
When we parted
Moving on
And believing
It could begin and end in one evening
In "One Evening" by Feist, the singer recounts an evening during which she ran into someone she liked. She seems to be surprised and excited, having previously had a crush on this person, and the lyrics suggest that both parties were ready to pursue something more. The song's initial verse and chorus describe the anticipation that builds as the night goes on, with the two characters seizing the opportunity to finally connect. Despite their hesitations, being "both brokenhearted," they embark on something romantic together, knowing that it may not last beyond the end of the night.
Feist's lyrics are immediately relatable to anyone who has experienced an unexpected connection at a party or social event. The song is entirely focused on the moment and how time seems to accelerate and disappear when we are having a good time. The song also packs a sense of urgency, with the Cab "outside," and "no time to take." It's a song about seizing the moment and seizing the night with no regrets.
Line by Line Meaning
The evening was long
The passing of time felt extended
My guesses were true
My intuition about the situation was correct
You saw me see you
You were aware of me noticing you
That something you said
The particular thing you mentioned
The timing was right
The sequence of events was optimal
The pleasure was mine
I enjoyed the experience as well
The time and the place
The specific instance and location
The look on your face
Your facial expression
Sincerest eyes
Honest and genuine eyes
If you're ready or not
Regardless of your preparedness
The state of our hearts
Our emotional vulnerabilities
There's no time to take
The situation demands immediate action
When we started
At the beginning of our encounter
Both brokenhearted
Both emotionally hurt from prior experiences
Not believing
Without confidence in the possibility
It could begin and end in one evening
That the duration of our interaction could be brief
We were caught by the light
We were captivated by the moment
Held onto the day
Clung to the present
'Till it became hours
Until the moment lasted much longer
The minutes went by
Time seemed to fly
The cab is outside
Transportation is waiting for departure
When we parted
At the end of our encounter
Moving on
Continuing with life
And believing
Confident in the finality of the experience
It could begin and end in one evening
That the duration of our interaction could be brief
