Grieves - Lightspeed (Official Video) 

Found grives when I was in my worst part of addiction; I liked him ... Now I'm 4 years clean

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years, times moving so fast!

I was 13 and in middle school when I started listening to Grieves. I'm now 24 and have a beautiful daughter. Time really does fly by.

I'm a 62 year old man and I'm generally not a rap fan, but I really like this kid. I connect with his music because it sounds like my life.

My uncle told me grieves helped him out and alot of artists after after his army tour in Iraq 06-10 then he put me on will never forgot!! 2024 still jamming!!

This is the song that made me fall in love with Grieves' music. Hearing the transformation in his sound is pretty incredible, but I will always come back to this number.

Grieves, Eyedea, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere.. REAL RAP!!!!!!!

I wish there were more rappers out there like Grieves.

If you see this ill always have u in my heart ill always remember the moments and memories we shared i took them for granted...

This song is an instant classic, it was great back in my highschool days and it still sounds great in 2020. Almost 10 years now and it's still catching vibes, good memories for sure.

Almost 3 million views I remember when it barely had 3 thousand

after 7 years, i listen again this music... One part of my life

Haven't herd this In Years.... That kills me .. I remember every feeling from the first Listen ❣️

THE IRONY OF THIS SONG BEING SO NOSTALGIC TO ME IS OUTRAGEOUS

I grew up with my brother, listening to him now I listen to grieves for my brother😢💔

i like that grieves expresses himself truthfully, it makes me feel the music instead of just listening to it

"mom was a religion and happiness was a fact... it's like I'm moving at light speed." Brilliant! Love it.

Really chill song, I didn't want to give this guy a shot, but he's dope.

In 2019 rn. This is a song you listen to on a late night drive n I fucking love it. It’s amazing. The vibes are insane. I remember listening to this when it first came out and I just came back to the song now.

I remember coming up on Grieves on youtube when he was starting out. Sitting with his music trying to find a future. Now I bump it in my house with my kid and remember where I came from and who's music helped me through it. This song always hits different no matter where I am in life.

I remember the first time discovering Grieves and Budo at a little hiphop show in Portland Oregon when I turned 21, man I loved going to shows back then. I will be 32 here in a couple months and I really need to learn to slow down.

I really like Light speed and bloody poetry.

This song is literally "life in a nut shell". It's everything in 4:04 minutes.

Crazy how 10 years flies by, like we've been going at lightspeed

Jesus rocks man. Light speed is right. It's never too late my friend.

Dude speaks on a REAL level!!! Love stumbling across new artists!!!

6 Years later, I wonder what Grieves is doing now, I missed out on a great time..

[Verse I] Born blind in the winter with an empty head The snow covered up the Camry, the whole house slept Drawing pictures in the bed, waking up and racing down the stairs trying to catch my breakfast Was so simple, superman, trick or treat, wet socks Bike rides in the summer to the best spots Could've sworn I was king with the best odds Running 'round with the dogs in the backyard Growing, never knowing what the past done Living life like the mystery of packed lunch Getting whooped in the playground, scratched up Coming home after school on the last bus Back then it was all about laughs Hit the corner store for the new Fleer packs Mom was a religion and happiness was a fact It’s a shame how the time goes past Moving so fast [Bridge] It’s like I’m moving at light speed Slow Down [Hook] You need to slow down every once in a while, sometimes To see how the world goes round You need to slow down every once in a while Cause you don’t know, you don’t know You don’t need to go so fast [Verse II] Things changed and the pops job got an offer Packed up moved out down to Colorado Sunshine, clean air, not a lot of problems That’s when I discovered Pogs and Tamagochi Time passed and the friends found punk, yeah Or whatever man, a lot of it was junk, but we loved it Made us feel cool, little dumb kids, running 'round just for fun doing dumb shit I was lighting all my candles at both ends Warren Lake getting drunk with the friends I was trying to stay positive, even though I pretended it helped, cause back home I was lacking a happy ending for all Saw a lot of tall trees fall in the name of an addiction My sister taught me to follow I cracked, cleaned up and the bags packed, and swore that I would never go back Moving so fast [Bridge] [Hook] [Verse III] 19 I decided I was done with it Hit Seattle with a head full of drum rhythms Falling in and out of love with these young women Thinking they can make a change in the blood given Nah, I was too young to face it Working two jobs still thinking I could make it Local all-star still singing from his basement Finally got a shot and I’ve been working every day since Found love in the city where the Angels fly Put a record out with Joshua, and made our climb Came home after two years playing our rhymes Just to find my little Angel was no more mine Parted ways with a friend, it was not easy Made a leap to the future and got queasy Started working on the things that had lost reason Now I’m sitting with a pad, moving so fast…

Listening to this for almost 14 years now and it still hits as far as day one.

Rhymesayers is awesome because of the diversity they have and the freedom they offer the musicians. You don't like this guy? I guarantee they have something you will like.

2012 I found this song feeling some kinda way and now I still feel that way 2019...

Nice Atmosphere shout out with the "You don't know..."

I can relate to this line: getting drunk with the friends I was tryin to stay positive even though I pretended it It helped cause at home I was lacking a happy ending

I love how this guy chooses to have his breathing in the song, It captures the realism and emotion he is releasing as hes rapping.

the first song i ever heard by grieves, & i kept listening to it over and over again. his voice is truly amazing

anyone else genuinely get sad when this track ends?

2017 still one my favorite songs!

How could someone dislike this!!

Eyedea was a friend of mine. I met him in high school. It was a big time loss but idolizing to know what u can do , become. U all have good taste.

no one sleeps on grieves but i miss eyedea brother. he was a good man and a great emcee

Song gets me happy when im down and dry haha this guys great.

I like the lyrics. When he says that he feels as though he is traveling at light speed he wants to 'slow down'. Now as you know, light is composed of photons. When you stand outside in the sun you absorb photons which is why you feel warmer in the Sun. The photons give their energy to you. I take this as meaning that we should focus more on giving out positive energy into the world onto others. If everyone did this then the world would be filled with positive energy always being transferred from one to another. This probably isn't exactly what he was going for but I like this interpretation.

This guy is so good. Big fan.

Rhymesayers = Real Hip-Hop, but remember we all call it underground but without an industry there would be no "underground" i will support these guys heard him live with Atmosphere in grand rapids. Best show hands down.

I can’t believe it’s been 13 years. I don’t even know how to comprehend that, 13 years ago I saw him perform this song with my best friend at the time.. haven’t heard from him in over 8 years:/

Grieves is way too awesome. Kids got mad skills. I always thought he was playing the harmonica in this video because of the thumbnail haha. It looks like hes playing one :p.

This song

life was so much simpler in 2011 :P

Right? That's one of the beauty's of Hip Hop. It comes in all shapes and sizes..from nerds to thugs, introverts to extroverts, men to women, poor to rich

I wrote two verses today to this beat that make me cry when I recite them. Thank you, Grieves and Budo, for producing thought provoking music.

I think some people form their opinions because of his appearance. He definitely doesn't look like a Hip Hop artist. But just listen to the track and don't watch the video...it's a pretty chill song

This song is hitting me right now more than ever. Im about to be 21 this year and Im noticing that my group of friends are drifting apart. Some are moving far so we probably won't be seeing each other much. Its cool though, last night we all kicked it, went out, got drunk, and smoked weed. It was then that i realized I wouldn't be seeing some of them for a long time. This song just reminds me of a lot of moments I spent with them. We've all done drugs and stuff but some of them have had problems over using them. I just hope they'll be okay.

driving tunes........

Reminds me of the early 90s *sigh* It was much simpler then. Hanging out with my lads and goofing off, basketball and running around in my moms yard, half nude in the rain, listening to Madonna. Time was slow, happiness was easy, and I miss it, but I don't wish I could go back. The future is ahead of us now.

I love the Rhymesayers. All of them seem so real, no bullshit but just the truth as they see it.

I have love hate relationship with this song.

small quote from atmo? "you dont know, you dont know you.."

It's really damn sad that there are so many great artists like this who toil in obscurity, while 2 Chainz and Drake are earning millions. The mainstream audience really has the worst taste in music these days.

First heard this song back in like 2012 and it was immediately one of my favorite rap songs. Kinda forgot about it for a while, then I just randomly thought of it and put it on in October 2019, and let me tell you, this is a timeless song....truly a hard hitting song that will give you goosebumps when you hear it. This will always be one of my favorite rap songs!

a guy i like got me into grieves. im glad, because i didnt think ive ever had a hip hop arrtist who could make a single song that has touched my emotions in the way grieves does with his music. now, every night when me and that guy talk, we quote different grieves songs to eachother :)

Its ironic because if you move at the speed of light, time stops.

Not saying they compare but if you like grieves and you know anything about his past check out atmosphere

I just made a compilation video of my top 15 reminiscent/nostalgic underground hip-hop songs. This song and 14 other great ones that really take you back to the old days. Check it out on my channel!

Ive been a fan of grieves for over a year. Since i first heard his music

This is Truth. This is Music.

Jesus, he's attractive as fuck. I'm glad I'm from Minnesota now. xD

I love him nut he is just like atmosohere tho

He's dope but reminds me too much of Atmosphere. Same styles.. Still dope tho.

Now I gotta find out what he's been doing since! Haven't heard this in years. It just popped in my head..... Glad it did!

Been listening since we were both kids - now we're both adults... Im with you grieves.

i think Grieves is so attractive and he makes beautiful music but fuck ... his two front teeth lol ... but he is still an amazing lyricist lol

That's what makes these artists GEMS...These wouldn't be the same if they were played on the radio.

y'all cant recognize talent when you hear it, boy can spit and he's real, the best part.

Thank you, Grieves, for restoring what little faith I have in rap and hip hop.

I've been a poet an hip hop writer for years, discovered him years ago, wish I had his talent. much love

Been listening to Grieves for a loonngg time and he still plays in my ear everyday.

Been months since i have listened to anything Grieves. Thank god i decided to.

If you like this than you're definitely a rap fan.There are a million other underground rap artists that make good music like this.

I'm a rocker at heart, but sometimes I just need to play some atmoshpere or grieves, or macklemore. These guys are the real rappers.

I Swear Grieves Spits The Realest Shit Out There. And He's Got Bars For Days. My Favorite Rapper Out There. So Glad I Found Rhymesayers!

I am grateful to be able to hear this song still.

This song is older than 10 years. I was a freshman in 2010. And this song meant so much to me back then

found this song and Grieves about 4 to 5 years ago. love all his music. so happy he got signed with rhymesayers.

Been listening to this every now and then for the past 12 years. Still just as a banger as ever. Grieves been putting out bangers but this just hits every single time.

First song I listened to by Grives still like it after all these years 10/10 im 34 been listening to this since I can remember. Ant listened to it in a while ( : so good listened to it twice. Going into my music library and share it around to friends and family ( :

I'm only 3 years old and I love grieves music.

Love this song. Sitting in my home state Colorado playing this song for my first born 3 months old.

I went to see him in concert in SL, found him thanks to my sister, got a new screensaver of me & grieves. I love this guy!

Grieves inspires our entire label.

This song never fails at making me cry happy tears the present is the same name as a gift for a reason

BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST RAP SONGS IVE EVER HEARD. This kid is sick!

One of the best songs I have ever hear. Truly a masterpiece

Born at st josephs in bellingham and I play this song on on repeat every day just to remind me of where I came from........great song man no doubt it makes people think about life you don't find that in todays music

This song, his voice makes me relax. I love it!

Wish this song was still on Spotify. Had to come here to listen to it again. Although this way I actually got to see the Official Video. This song was an anthem to "those days" for me.

Been listening to this song for years and it still gives me goosebumps. Mad love from NYC, Grieves!

His voice is the smoothest and tunes in with the beats perfectly

10+ years still stuck in my head. True music

This track touches home for me. I'll be 22 in september, yet it seems like it was just yesterday I was taking my driving test. Going to friends houses after school and riding bikes through town. Trying to get with girls that were out of our league and causing a ruckus at the park with fireworks. Those were the good times, and now that I work full time they are a rarity.

Rhymesayers has a lot of dope artists I would agree that they are one of the best labels because they have so many dope artists not just one or two that the label is known for and it's not commercial rap music.
