“Do you trust me now? What a disgrace she went frantic. Do you trust me now? They say I accomplished something awful,” Quick sang in Toronto on Friday night (Nov. 22).
Taylor Quick’s “Cassandra” was the main melody from The Tormented Artists Division: The Treasury that had never been performed live, until Friday night (Nov. 22) in Toronto, where it captured everyone’s attention in a three-tune piano mixture overflowing with rage.
“Cassandra,” “Distraught Lady” and “I Accomplished Something Terrible” out of nowhere existed together in a fine fierceness, climbing over the idea of requesting the visit’s primary setlist by “periods.” (Tormented Writers, Fables and Notoriety were addressed here, in one execution.)
Watch a fan-shot video of Quick’s full presentation of the mashup here.
The live debut of “Cassandra,” a melody named after the Cassandra of Greek folklore who got the endowment of prediction alongside the revile to never be accepted, came during the acoustic segment of Quick’s Friday show, the fifth of six dates all out in Toronto this month. The Times Visit acoustic set is known as the piece of the show where what she plays out every night is intended to be a shock to the crowd.
“At the point when the primary stone’s tossed, there’s shouting/In the roads, there’s a furious uproar/When it’s ‘consume the b — – ,’ they’re screeching/When reality emerges, it’s calm,” Quick sang from “Cassandra” at Toronto’s Rogers Place, sitting at her piano painted with blossoms.
She forged ahead with the ditty’s ensemble, singing, “So they killed Cassandra first because she dreaded the most obviously terrible/And attempted to tell the town/So they filled my cell with snakes, I lament to say/Do you trust me now? Do you trust me now?”
Quick shocked everybody further with an unexpected shift to “Frantic Lady”: “What might tell that?/Does a scorpion sting while retaliating?/They strike to kill and you realize I will/You realize I will.”
In the moving tune of “Distraught Lady,” she sings, “Each time you call me insane/I get more insane/What might be said about that?/And when you say I appear to be furious/I fly off the handle/And there’s nothin’ like a frantic lady/What a disgrace she went distraught/Nobody prefers a distraught lady/You made her like that.”
While it feels exaggerated to type this out, the second that Quick took a sharp go to Notoriety — with “I Accomplished Something Terrible” — really evoked pants heard round the arena and the web, where fans who weren’t at the show looked for floods of Quick’s set.
“What a disgrace she went distraught,” Quick sang from “Frantic Lady,” nonchalantly getting back to back to Notoriety with “They say I accomplished something terrible.”
Around the finish of the presentation, that couplet became “Do you trust me now? What a disgrace she went distraught/Do you trust me now? They say I accomplished something terrible” in a smart modify that connected “Cassandra” with both “Distraught Lady” and “I Accomplished Something Awful” in a similar chorale.
The frantic mashup happened for a strong seven minutes, as caught on record by concert attendees.
It followed a lighter execution from Quick on acoustic guitar, “Our own” (Speak Now) blended in with “The Last Extraordinary American Tradition” (Fables).
Yet again quick plays in Toronto Saturday night (Nov. 23). The Times Visit, which sent off in Walk 2023, has a break for the U.S’s. Thanksgiving week prior to taking its last bow in Vancouver from Dec. 6-8, 2024.
