Feist Trivia Quiz

Answer: 7 and 8

Here's the line:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then"

The song "1234," after its debut in the iPod Nano commercial, pushed the sales of the album "The Reminder" way up. It is often viewed as Feist's "masterpiece" and caused her to win the Juno award for "Single of the Year" in 2007.

Answer: ...butts in an ashtray

Here's the full verse:

"In a dressmaker shop in Greece
The pins stick like tongues on poles or butts in an ashtray
Lunchtime packages, waxed and wrapped and held
Down a dusty road, inside an apron fold"

"Monarch" was Feist's debut album, released in 1999. It is not as well known compared to her other two albums, and there is a very limited quantity in circulation.

Answer: April

Here's the full verse:

"February, April said
'Don't be fooled by the summer again'
February, April said
'That half of the year, well we'll never be friends'"

Answer: ...lilacs and buttercups

From "Mushaboom" ("Let It Die"), here's the full verse:

"Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
I'm packing the bags and setting up
I've planted lilacs and buttercups"

"Mushaboom" is considered the most popular song from the album "Let It Die." Although not as critically acclaimed as "1234," it still was a successful single, sprouting two music videos. The title "Mushaboom" is derived from an actual town name in Nova Scotia.

Answer: "Honey Honey " ("The Reminder")

Here's the full verse:

"Honey honey out on the sea
In the doldrums thinking of me
Me on dry land thinking of he
Honey honey not next to me"

Answer: the door

Here's the full verse:

"No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor"

Another popular song on Feist's album "The Reminder," "I Feel It All" is quite noted for its creative music video. In fact, all of Feist's music videos are quite intriguing; for example, in "I Feel It All," it features Feist on a clear summer night in a field of oil barrels that begin to emit fireworks synchronized to the music.

Answer: True

Both "Monarch" and "Let It Die" feature a song by the same name as the album. "The Reminder," however, does not.

Answer: "The Onliest" ("Monarch")

Here's the full verse:

"Deepness of the waving tide
All the sea is saying goodbye
And the moon dips aloof at four
The sea doesn't keep score"

Answer: "Tout Doucement" ("Let It Die")

Instead of a guitar, Feist uses the piano as the main instrument in this song. Incidentally, this song is also written entirely in French.

Answer: keeps it collision free

Here's the full verse:

"The harbor becomes the sea
And lighting the house keeps it collision free
Understand the lay of the land
And don't let it hurt you
Or it will be the first to"

Feist's album "The Reminder" features songs that, in one way or another, either apologize or express Feist's loneliness to her loved one. The first track, "So Sorry," is direct evidence of this.
