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.

The Bad in Each Other
Feist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He acted that way and hello will be like a cut
Fill me up and pour me out, realize the doubt
We had the same feelings at opposite times
When the good man and the good woman
Can find the good in each other
And a good man and a good woman
The bad in each other
Where to love to find it now
When we'll become two
Floating into the blue and the neon river
The sadness can move either without or with him
The good man and good woman
Can't find the beauty in each other
And the good man and the good woman
Bring out the worst in the other
When good man and that good woman
Can find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Bring out the worst in the other
The bad in each other
Feist's "The Bad in Each Other" is a hauntingly beautiful song that explores the complexities of relationships. The lyrics speak of a couple struggling to find the good in each other while bringing out the worst qualities in one another. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer laments the lack of clarity in communication between the two. The line "He acted that way and hello will be like a cut" suggests that even small interactions may be hurtful due to the underlying tension in the relationship.
Later, Feist goes on to describe the hopelessness of the situation, acknowledging that sometimes the bad emotions and actions seem to overpower the good ones. The lines "Where to love to find it now / When we'll become two" indicate that the couple has grown apart and may not be able to reconnect. However, the song ends on a somewhat positive note, with Feist asserting that if the couple is able to find the good in each other, they can bring out the best rather than the worst.
The sombre melody and sparse instrumentation enhance the emotional impact of the song. Feist's delicate vocals draw the listener into the story, making the lyrics even more poignant.
Line by Line Meaning
Speak clearly he said, but didn't see
He tells us to speak clearly, but he himself cannot see the truth
He acted that way and hello will be like a cut
His actions hurt us like a sharp cut
Fill me up and pour me out, realize the doubt
I am filled with doubt, like a full cup poured out
We had the same feelings at opposite times
Our feelings are the same, but they come at different times
When the good man and the good woman
When two good people
Can find the good in each other
Can see the best in each other
And a good man and a good woman
But when those same two people
Bring out the worst in the other
Bring out the worst in each other
The bad in each other
They reveal their flaws and negative traits
Where to love to find it now
Where can we find love now?
When we'll become two
When we'll become separate
Floating into the blue and the neon river
Drifting aimlessly into a cold and artificial world
The sadness can move either without or with him
The sadness can be present whether alone or with him
The good man and good woman
Two good people
Can't find the beauty in each other
But cannot see the beauty in one another
And the good man and the good woman
And these same two people
Bring out the worst in the other
Bring out each other's negative traits
When good man and that good woman
When two good people
Can find the good in each other
Can see the best in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Then these same two people
Bring out the worst in the other
Will still have flaws, but will also bring out the best in each other
The bad in each other
And reveal each other's positive traits as well

Feist, the bad in each other
Speak plain he said
But didn't see
He acted that way
And held me like a cup
Fill me up then pour me out
Therein lies the doubt.
We had the same feelings
At opposite times.
When a good man and a good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in the other
The bad in each other
But what and how
To find us now
When we've become two
Fluorescently blue
Down the neon river
The sadness canoes
Either without or with her
When a good man and a good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in the other
When a good man and that good woman
Can't find the good in each other
Then a good man and a good woman
Will bring out the worst in the other
The bad in each other.

@madimowz
the beginning of this song made me want to cry i love warm bodies so much
@antmarquis87
I dig that movie as well.
@rusilt
I could watch Warm bodies for years and don't get bored of it.
@TheChickenRiceBowl
Heard this on the radio while walking home in the Texas heat a couple days ago. It made the walk a bit cooler, crisper, and just better in general.
@ciararowley1453
The rest of the album is SOLID. One of very few albums I can listen to without skipping a single song.
@martinmillan625
This is a masterpiece, watching on 2023 and this song is still a blast.
@BlackhaloZ
The guitar in this is fantastic. I want to see it played.
@ciararowley1453
She really does put on a killer show. I saw her at The Ryman in Nashville, which is an amazing venue, about four rows from the stage, right after this album came out. Easily one of the best shows I've been to, and I've been to A LOT lol. 10/10 would recommend.
@theinfamousdizzler8881
Warm Bodies is in my top 15 movies of all time
