Grimes - Flesh without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream 

omg linda fellow grimes fan... I'm glad you enjoy her music xx

Aww

You are so cool! Thank you for sharing with us :))

I'm also older, and can't stand 99% of modern music, but my ears perked up a few years back when I heard her first hit. I thought I should've hated it, but I liked. Now, the more I dig, the more I like. Thank God an actual artist made it. She kind of reminds me of Bowie in a weird way. No way am I as much a fan, nor is her music as broad, but she has his free aesthetic to do whatever she wants. At least it's not packaged by a group of bs label runners and producer/agents. The ironic thing about this song is it's really a borderline rock song. The drums and bass are kicking, and there is real (or simulated) guitar in it. It's not some boring overused trap beat, and she's not working in the sh*t vocal lane that so many modern vocalists overuse with the bad rapping and autotune. This is actually very 80s underground, even though modernized. It's because she came from Vancouver, a place with some brains.

same. just recently came across her and I can say I´m obsessed!

Oof the hardest lesson I had to learn this year

@@saraviramontes9130 me too girl, me too

Well put...❤

you put that so poetically and powerful.. relating on all levels, Sis♥️

Facts!! going through that right now.

Saaaame

Trevor Peddie SAMEE. I am utterly obsessed shes absolutely brilliant!

Take her creativity to fuel your own be alive be creative be happy x.

i grew up listening to her

Saame

Shes grown up..shes a Mother. Dont tramp her down...... shes living but in other ways now

@@missLeamon2023 oh, when i wrote this i was referring to her music 😃 and years before i comment this, it kinda bothered me >the way she changed her work and ideas< 'cause it was >so abruptly< and made no sense to me as fan. and also, to me, the fact she became a mother doesn't make her any better... anyway, i still like her work 🤷🏼‍♀️ just doesn't hit as before.

me too

Pre-Musk Grimes

It's been two years since this comment and we still miss this grimes even though she said she hates art angels

Believe me, she probably changed her mind again 20 minutes later, That is why she is so much fun.

It may because the lyrics are personal and contrast the feelings she has now.

If you find her tweet replying to Stereogum sharing that article, you'll see she doesn't actually hate the album. Safe to say the interviewer misunderstood her.

She needs a slap and tell her this is good

where did she said that? i'm a bit shook because this album is a timeless masterpiece imo

so she says..

🎶 babyyyy believeeee meeeeeeeeeeeee 🎶 and you had every chance you destroy everything that you know 🎶 plus the way her body snapped with the beat at 1:19 is a good sign she might have her ears inside a loop for 8 hours a day 😉

Nope, because the beat itself isn't proof of advanced prolonged production. It would've been present in the acoustic guitar draft. There is no real evidence for or against.

idk then.. she just too gorgeous anyways so how could she be such an amazing sound engineer. she mustn't have it all. DOWN WITH GRIMES.

It's likely she is naturally talented and chose the complex timbres and textures herself. That is probable. But advanced sound engineering in addition to composition? That's improbable. Possible, but improbable. It's not even a male vs female issue. It would be very difficult for anyone.

Mood

That would do it

Whats mescaline? Is it like ecstasy?

@@kaseylee1152 Peyote. It's almost like shrooms and ecstacy at the same time. It's a vivid trip with euphoria and energy. But for legal reasons I don't know anything about it.

That is such a vibe

Ya I've been a fan for awhile now I like thise little videos she does like on tip a building. It's older. But that's my favorite one. Ppl should stop being dicks about grimes. I see that shit.

Real shit

This and reality are on repeat for me. Is there any other songs like those two from her? I can listen to this 10 times straight haha.

Yesssss well said

I feel she's this generation's Björk. Totally free, absolutely unapologetic.

*Hes

LOVE

​@@Gomba13pretty sure that's one of her influences so that statement makes a ton of sense totally agree, she is incredible ❤

Also, I personally got much more of a Marina Diamandis and Chvrches vibe from this more than a Taylor or Avril one... ? (and thank god for that)

+Jenya March I dunno what Diamandis is (not hipster enough) but yeah, Chvrches is pop unless you're in high school and think pop is only what the preps and jocks like

That's kind of ironic considering this sounds like every pop song

+L Khokhlakov Marina Diamandis = Marina and the Diamonds Sweetie, I never said that Marina, Chvrches, or even this song wasn't pop. I said that this song reminded me of their sound more than Taylor's or Avril's. *Not all pop sounds the same.*

"Sounds like every pop song" makes it seem like your exposure to pop is either very limited, or you simply snob all pop music for the sake of snobbing pop. Pop music is eclectic. This song shares the same identifying core element factors (verse-chorus structure, hooks, etc.), but otherwise it does /not/ sound like most other pop music. Funny enough (and I laugh as I say this next part because of all the indie snobs that scoff at this song), it sounds like indie-pop, because it clearly is borrowing from post-punk sounds, is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free, and aside from the two other artists that I mentioned earlier (Marina and the Diamonds and Chvrches), I cannot think of any other popular artist with this specific take on pop. So, yeah. This does NOT sound like "every pop song". Please open your ears.

Oh, fuck yeah. If she and Elon end up marrying and help advance Mankind to being a truly space-fairing, interplanetary Society they will be the two heads of a union of a Tech,Space and Commerical Empire.

Hahaha yeah, totally. Like, 10 years from know, there would be millions of people who remember Grimes. For sure.

ice la honk thanks for making my favorite comment on RU-vid

@@gaybroshevik4180 Elon goes through woman crazy fast, so it's not looking good for our girl grimes.

Only if dropping the ball by inappropriately sharing way too much with an unstable bipolar stranger is history being kind. So funny reading Grimes fans childlike space fantasies about this girl and her ex-boyfriend.

I seriously love these lyrics. She's so very much more than your average pop star.

0:01 4:39

Love her poetry

I think you mispelled "you Loo-OO-oose" lmao

Good job with the lyrics, the words seem to predict future events with a certain rich man.

it would be dangerously good

I dunno man, they're pretty messed up. O_o

Me too

YES YES YES

Only if the video it's "genesis" or "realiti"

+Shider Paper Yup! I think I must have listened to this song about 50+ times since it was released on RU-vid O.O

+Shider Paper same feeling I get

+Shider Paper duhhh she's a fukn witch

same

+Cameron Radtke I was just thinking the same exact thing. This little thing is not of this reality and is in touch with something most people are not.

More like...one of the most pretentious things ever

No man, in fact i hear her style like retro songs from early 2000's

Because Elon Musk is from future

No...she's not in 2040! We are still here right now!!! In 2020! What you speaking?

@@teatime2242 thats good!** we are born to die ;) haha

You’re darn tootin’ she was! 🤠

❤

that's NOT an FALLEN ANGEL...that's The Angel of Love Pissed off :)

@@stalkinu2 yea falk, nazis sind KOT :/

shes a fallen alien (fka twigs reference)

5) nimph 6)siren

I believe the "angel" is named Ivy, and she was supposed to be the oldest of all the personas. One's a gamer-girl, she's the most modern and youngest. And the "princess" you're talking about is actually supposed to mimic Marie Antoinette. If I recall correctly, Claire (Grimes) actually stated the setting behind this was to go back in time and kill that Marie character. I'm assuming the other characters were incarnations of Ivy, but that's a guess. Interesting, none the less!

Yeah and wish she gets the recognition like the mainstream artists does

Not trying to sound annoying as f but I feel like I can connect with her scenes of creativity and thought processes. I feel like that is my fundamental strength but I have no idea how to express it. I'm 16 and don't know what profession I should look into and work up to. Any suggestion would be deeply considered as my elders lol thanks.

@@alil3231 Maybe animation or concept art? I get what you mean though.

@@alil3231 Maybe something amongst the lines of visual arts or audiovisual production. This type of careers might help you gain references and different techniques that you can explore until you find the one or the ones that you like. However there are many ways you can explore "expression" without the terms of "academy", i don't know if it sounds dumb but tiktok is full of homemade videos that have this vibe, they are good examples. You can also take courses that teach you how to work different softwares like the adobe suite, etc. these are great tools for creating out of the ordinary compositions in terms of images, videos and audio c:

Thank you guys I'll look into ur suggestions 🤗

Yeah, she said that in an interview .

@@fallensurvivor21 not everybody has seen the interview tho… lmaoo

@@MermaidQueendom sucks for them

@@MermaidQueendom well maybe they should go watch it then if interested. I don’t get the point of your comment, like of course not everyone has seen it that’s kind of the point of the person you replied to stating that- to inform those who haven’t seen it.

thats amazing

I find this exact line so ironic considering who she's dating now and the conditions he imposes on all those he dates. 😅

Oh man, I always thought it was "but only kind of shallowly" and I really liked that because it felt true. The real lyrics good too though.

She broke up with elon

+Breamon Daniel I think I'm a stage 5 clinger atm...

+Breamon Daniel yo tmabien

I hated her at first and she's just taking over. idk what to do

this conversation describes me since i listened to her lmao

+Breamon Daniel Yep, it's just the right kind of fever. It's sublime.

100% agree

addicted to this song like a drug

Literally the best year of my life

Way too true! This song gives me the best vibes from that year.

This song sounds like something Gorrillaz would've produced: so timeless. Still sounds futuristic. Almost like how people in the 80's would've thought music in the 2020's would sound.

its just sad now.. not the song. where we are.

also would love it if tøp fans would stop commenting about how theyre here from tyler. the "clique" really made me worn out from tøp by commenting everywhere and not valuing the music as much as they do shit like letting everyone know they're a fan or dumb inside jokes. enjoy the grimes like tyler does. check out kill v maim

These "Stan" kids ruin everything with comparing artists and putting pressure on these artists to constantly stay on top. I just wanna enjoy the music and love the art. I guess I'm gonna have to just stop reading the comments.

sameeee

+Josh same dude same

who cares, more visibility for her, more success she deserves it !

Autism qween

Nop. It was Björk.

I was a bjork fan but I prefer Grimes she lightly addresses the tricky issues. Bjork is more obscure.

It was Kate Bush then it was Björk. Heck even Madonna was weird during her peak. Grimes shtick is nothing new.

This "she is the first bla bla bla" thing is just ridiculous lol ppl cant just apreciate stuff

i know right

but i have always. liked her music

indedd

That is the purpose of catchy pop tested formulas that make us like a song for commercial reasons. Didn't you watch the movie "Josie and the Pussycats? ;-)

+José Luis Enríquez lol shut up mate

calm down there buddy.

+Akira Same :D

+Akira I FEEL YOU

she had potential with oblivion, Vanessa and genesis but good lord, this song and kill v. Maim are repetitively lame with lyrics that make little sense and not only make no sense, she recycled lyrics; so if you mean the best producer and bla bla of the 21st century following the list of other unoriginal sell out producers and generally everybody else in the music business that came before her? then yes sure, she's a real good shot.

I hope she dosent go mainstream because most artists are shit and the fans too

same here, first i gave this album alot of shit but then i finally came to my senses. ❤

Gooon! Gggooooooon! Aaaaaaaagh!

Me too . I’m a little ashamed to say but I never knew of her till Elon musk then I looked her up . And wow 🤩 she’s so much more interesting I can see why he would totally be in to her she’s very smart and out of the box . I’m only happy I found her she and her music feel like therapy through chaotic emotions that this life can pull is in and out of . Her music feels Relatable to all who feel like lost is where they can feel found

Grimes is everything!

c33

Thought I was the only here because of that :]

Hello friend

All the music in this episode was on point. Going to miss Mr. Robot so much when it’s over.

@@siriusgray What was the song right before this one?

466rudy Kelly by van she

+lowlymusic Exactly what I thought after digesting her new album. From what I understand she created the Visions album on her personal computer which is highly admirable! There is a bright future for this young lady!

Garage band to be specific

+Mailman Clarence I've heard lots of impressive stuff made with Garage Band, Cubase, Reaper, etc. DAWs. Helps to have some very good VST plugins that can realistically reproduce instruments, as well as some VSTs to manipulate those with various effects. And you can always mix in sounds with old analog guitar pedals. Lots of possibilities. Just have to tinker around a lot, and find that exact effect you have in mind.

+tyrenebanks72 not only that, she made the whole album in a week, whithout sleep or food. just her and a computer.

All I can say is I tend to wake up hearing Belly of the Beat, Easily, or REALiTi in my head like it was the end song of the dream. lol

yeah ❤❤❤❤

+Heberth De La Cruz Nothing like visions but that isn't a bad thing. Let this angel spread her wings and do something different.

+Eric Moreno yeeees

+Eric Moreno she reigns ♛

Yeah!!

Its so sad that ppl just see her as elons ex. Shes so much more

😮

​@sisipill2000 glad she was Grimes to me first. She is just too precious.

LOVE

YESEES

nah, she's a pervert

Ivana Tinkle lol calling her a satan worshipper in another thread and now a pervert? What’s your source ma’am

TASTE ugh two of my fav artists

And Bjork

+Ephra Sant it does, she followed very commercial pop structures, research max martin, he has monopolized the music industry with radio pop . thats what this song is modeled after :/

+Josh Cocomise Does that upset your little hipster mind that she made a pop song using a pop formula?

Trenton Adams LOL

+Ephra Sant it's called pop.

+Titus Parker no shit?

Wish you to recover to your former fun, happy and brave self. Good Grimes is so soothing. I feel the same.

Keep pushing. This will pass too.

Relate. You're not alone x

You just explained my whole life right there

Leona C same :(

like unless you're a songwriter, you won't understand how songs come to be. You can't just will something to be like a previous track. I mean you can, but it'd be creatively restricting.

+John High she is living her truth and right now her truth is to make pop, people give her so much shit and lot of that has to do with the fact that she is a woman. But even if you think about it from the sexist perspective, she isn't even just like a singer who gets people to write her songs or cowrites them and then has someone produce her music and then have a stylist team come up with her whole aesthetic. She producers her own music BY HERSELF. She writes her music BY HERSELF. She has her OWN AESTHETIC SHE CREATED. She directed edited wrote styled and did the art direction for a music video she literally did everything herself on. No one is giving the Weeknd shit for going pop. This was the perfect video and the perfect response from her. Bravo Grimes!

+John High I write songs and I can tell you, this is not in the spirit of Grimes. The instrumental sounds like it was straight ripped out of a Taylor Swift song and put her vocals on it. Even the vocals are less Grimes than normal (though they somewhat resemble her older stuff). But the overall changes she made are completely moving away from what made her fun.

+Jin ofWind You can't tell anyone this is not in the spirit of Grimes because you're not her, lol. Everything she does will be in the so called "spirit of Grimes" since it was released by her. Grimes isn't a musical style, it's a singer. You and other fans may not like whatever she releases, but trying to appropriate on what can or cannot be called her style over herself is just plain dumb at this point. lol

Marco Lopes I've been listening to Grimes for a bit, this song literally goes against everything that made her unique. Not only that, but the music video perfectly reflects the demographic this album is going after. The spirit of Grimes isn't a genre or sound, it was a uniqueness that her music had from other Indie Pop and Synth Pop musicians. There is not a single thing that makes this song unique besides her slathering her vocals in more reverb than others. She clearly threw away anything that gave her production personality. She has always changed album to album, but this change isn't just a sound change, it's her throwing all that made her who she was musically away.

I mean worth it?

HAHA damn, Eggs, er det deg? Navnet og tegninga og alt. Jævlig tilfeldig å se deg igjen på en youtube video.

Unequivocally.

we know

I can't tell you enough how much I can relate to this comment. It helped me heal, too. Such strong lyrics

Absolutely 100% ditto. I listened to this song religiously when my ex & I started having problems which lead to us splitting up. "It's nice that you say you like me - but only conditionally"

"and you had every chance you destroy everything that you know"

Zara Saurus The song is for the ex fans of grimes who hate her for make a pop songbimsted her electric

Exactly...Grimes know, when to show up. Gotta start listen to her instinct (or mine).

The "parenthetical" line that follows "And now I don't care anymore" is not a repeat of that line but "You're unloveable". That's what I hear, anyway. As for the part at 2:59, that's *really* hard. I don't blame you for not even trying. :-) Here's a rough approximation [my notes in brackets]: Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh Ay, ay, oh, oh / Stumble out backward, down, baby [last word very speculative!] And your heart played its sad song [but last 2 words look like "so so" in the lip-sync] On the ground, underneath me And the with-you dream can hurt Ay, ay [but 2nd word in lip-sync looks like "aif"] Oh, no And your heart gave me up though / You're unlovable

All that blood, she's definitely slaying something

She's to good to be compared to Uptown Funk or other bs in the charts. I actually appreciate that she isn't chart topping. Her aesthetics would die if she is a Top 40 artist. I love her and I think she's a masterwork of a woman, but I don't think she should be in the charts

Totally not. xD

@@ivomuzik suggestions?

@@ivomuzik yess

First, this song has nothing to do with techno... Second, this is a new wave-ish electro-pop song and literally any song from Siouxsie and The Banshees, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc. (just to name a few) are better than this. Ps: I'm not a hater, Grimes is actually one of my favorite singers and I love her. Miss Anthropocene is gonna be (propably) one of the best albums of the year.

@@ivomuzik i mean it's a nice song, but it's neither techno nor rock. i agree with the person above ^

Hmm, I'm actually getting early 00s vibes from this. Which is pure awesomeness. We need some modern stuff drawing roots from what I refer to as the golden era of pop music.

+jenny jojo let's not forget that artists need to SELL music to make a living. there's nothing wrong into mixing her weird sounds with a more popular structure. it's actually really smart

+Sakuems true people are dumb

+jenny jojo EXACTLY!! Claire (aka Grimes) said it in an interview Art Angels was the portrayal of Grimes in a contemporary context, essentially using these inner contemporary characters, not only redefining her as an artist but also going back to the music that she listened to when she was growing up.

+iBenTV I don't fault her for it, I just wish she wouldn't do it under the "Grimes" name. I've bought Grimes music for years for something melodic and ethereal, her songs have literally been my lullabies for years now.

I’m also an academic, with an undergraduate degree from Columbia University & a graduate degree in Anthropology from there as well, & I’m pursuing a PhD in Anthropology next. I’m a straight A student & praised for my writing in regard to my academic work, but I, again, tear it all apart & often feel embarrassed & ashamed about my work in spite of all the success I’ve had at university, let alone attending a prestigious university twice this far, with a very good chance of attending a prestigious university for my PhD as well. I would love to stay at Columbia, but they prefer for students to have experiences at different universities & it’s already a great feat that I was accepted twice in a row, as well as having been accepted to the university’s Teachers College in between, though choosing to pursue Anthropology instead. So really I was accepted thrice in a row, which is very much unheard of as, again, these top universities prefer not only for students to have different experiences at different universities but they also like to mix it up with the students they accept. I actually wasn’t accepted to the two other graduate programs to which I applied along with Columbia, both other schools in NYC (The New School & Hunter College). The acceptance rates are much higher at those universities & although very good schools, they are not considered as the same caliber as Columbia. Ultimately I felt like a failure, like I only was accepted to Columbia as I had connections there & two professors from there - & the third with multiple graduate degrees from there - wrote my recommendations for the graduate program, so I felt that those recommendations & connections were the only reasons I was accepted. I felt like an imposter (Imposter Syndrome in which one feels like one doesn’t belong, far less worthy & valuable - if at all - from those around one), from which I suffered during undergraduate as well. I’m extremely grateful that I was accepted, & I believe I’ve proved my capabilities being that I have a 4.0 GPA & I am often praised by my professors, some of whom I’ve grown quite close to, one of whom I’ve been very close with since undergraduate, so ten years ago (as I’m thirty now & I began taking courses with her at 20, & she took me under her wing & became not only a mentor to me but also an incredibly supportive & uplifting figure in my life & she’s agreed - having already assumed - that she’ll be writing one of my recommendations for the PhD. I only have a semester left for the graduate program, but after only one semester, I had acquired the other two recommendations (three required) for the PhD program. Needless to say, I have many people - especially such revered professors with tenure - in my corner & yet I am EXTREMELY hard on myself & often don’t feel good enough whatsoever, leading me to spiral into severe depressive episodes. At times, I even become s*c*d*l… as I have such little faith in myself particularly during those times of profound melancholia, of course. I want to believe in myself & assure myself that I can do something *great as that’s been my dream since I was very young, elementary school age- greatness but I doubt myself all the time to the point that I feel as if it’ll destroy me, that my mind & mental health is sabotaging me. I just rambled way too much, & no one will ever read this. (to be continued, again…)

Yet I want to say this: Grimes is such an inspiration as no matter how much she doubts herself, she keeps creating no matter what, following her passions no matter how she feels or down she becomes & in spite of all the suffering she’s had to endure, in particular the loss of multiple friends in a short span of time, just several years I believe,. I’ve had MANY losses too with almost all of them not being natural - instead via h*m*cide, s*cide, overdoses, illness, car accident, etc. - with the first at only five years old, affecting me profoundly even though I was so young - & the most recent one only two years ago. Many people whom I’ve lost were those I loved *most in the world… family members with whom I was closest within my external family & the only boy I ever loved who died in my arms, with these losses (three family members from h*micide all at once & then that boy almost exactly ten years apart, with only a month in difference)… I let these losses destroy me for many years, my Complex PTSD & mental health issues ruling my life, rendering me unable to truly live. It’s taken A LOT of intensive trauma therapy (EMDR) to begin to heal. I don’t believe you ever get over such trauma; you just learn to live with the pain & find happiness in spite of it. My metaphor for life is that it’s like a river of sh*t & there are stones that allow you to cross the river. Those stones are happiness & it’s those moments of happiness that keep you going. If you are seeking “happiness” via euphoria instead (addictive behavior like dr*g use or the thrill from other self-harmful behaviors) then the stones are made of sand & will crumble beneath your feet. The moments of happiness are indeed fleeting; the small moments that light up one’s eyes with stars, & yet they make life not only survivable but livable & imbued with a sense of genuine hope in spite of all the suffering that is inevitable to life itself, originating with the very pain that is consciousness itself (ask Frankenstein’s monster about what it means to suddenly be thrust into consciousness & having to think & feel so very profoundly, without an end to it except when it’s dulled via such euphoria, false happiness. Anyway I’m still ranting even though I said I’d write only one last thing. This really is the end. I just want to thank Grimes (or Claire) one last time for being part of creating those moments of happiness, in which one indeed dances freely as if no one is watching.

Oh, so you've discovered her from Elon. Welcome. The rest of us have been here a long, long time before you.

+Fredde jpg I love when people realize this about artists, that they're human and organic and pop is a powerful tool to convey a message, Honestly she's becoming more of herself, and it feels more authentic because of what she made before.

Creme Souda I read an interview where she said she's annoyed that people assume she's making pop music just because the production and mixing is better. and shes kinda right

this comment chain's philosophy should be applied to Fitz and the tantrums new music

True, I like the fact that her songs have better production, what I don't like is that she used to write in a very ambiguous way and about many things and not just about love for another person and disappointments since she's a free soul and I'm sure she knows better.

I had the same reaction at first, then i realized, who am i to say what "her style" is.

Евгения Дудченко LOL

Misk not Mask

@@yeahiprotest musk not misk

@@7isthekeytoheaven Mosk not Musk

An. S. I think you’ll find it’s Mesk, sir/madam

Know what you're saying. How good is this!?!

Lizz Bennett girl same just found her this week and can’t stop listening to her. Genius.

poor you i grew up listening to this

Ditto!

Same!

5 years here...

Moooood

The first step is admitting you have an addiction problem. Unlike me, who stopped after 1 week. /casual flex.

Grimes is an international pop superstar who is also in the mainstream news for having just gotten knocked up by Elon Musk. Pretty fucking far from "underrated". Lmao That word is now meaningless because people can't seem to use it correctly.

Cliche Guevara knocked up? They’re together , maybe don’t use such a negative connotation lmao

Cliche Guevara well I’m saying underrated because she’s not being named along other big super stars such as: Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé, Taylor, Rihanna and she should be and Doja... she may be more respected internationally. I love her for sure!! She’s talented

She herself used this word in vogue makeup tutorial.

doja cat is NOT underrated she is very mainstream

She has the best natural expressions

Fantastic singer,composer, actress, everything! she is a true artist

+try Moi no doubt

+vakasPastando she's fantastic in every single way

I had her first record for a while and thought it was OK, but then I saw her at Coachella in the spring (streaming) and she just blew me away, singing lots of songs from artangels, which I think is one of the best records ever, not one weak song, they don't come along too often, maybe once a decade or so

Me too, I play this album all day every day since I was turned on to it. Grimes is amazing!

so addicted to this song

Love "Genesis" too xoxo

+Cngwt96 Agreed!!!!!!!!! I love her

Foi incrível.

lucky, was it fun?

duns it was amaaaaziiiing :D

Portugal! :D

How is she live? I might go see her in October in NY but I dont know yet :/

Here in Austria she does get played on the radio :)

@@JeanneDArte glad to hear about it! I think maybe 2022 would be a great year for Grimes in the radio, she is even on a TV show now! :)

@@JeanneDArte oida als ob i hob sie no nie gheat im radio😭😭😭

@@ee3ly FM4 :) einziger Sender wo ich sie gehört hab aber FM4 spielt sie schon manchmal

They play Grimes on the radio at Target. That's when I first got this song stuck in my head

Benjamin Norton she is a genius

Franco Diaz Vallejo I know, it gives me much hope for the future. :)

Like your logo

what genre is this? the echo sound

How so?

+Reikoreigan Reseñas reiko!!! :) que tal?

Paper Scarecrow Hola !!

+Reikoreigan Reseñas *Dynamic

+Reikoreigan Rese&#241;as this kind of pop is actually not pop,electro-pop/Alternative-Dance

+Reikoreigan Reseñas this isn't pop...this is nothing you'll hear in a club, or bar. She makes good music that we can all listen to for hours! I am happy she has found success after "quitting" McGill. Her sound and past albums make for a great career of ground breaking music, that WE will love and enjoy

❤

+xTheOxx thank you !

Debatable..

for sure

she is cuter too haha

Yeah, there was literally no reason to compare them. Why can't they both just be good artists?

+potato chips fanboys attack in 3, 2, 1...

+potato chips well, every good artist is changing and evolving.

I miss this Grimes too

+Alexio Jaujau Actually I feel what he's saying only I'm not surprised. Every great artist at some point or another loses himself/herself to the surroundings that consume us. Grimes has seen major success, makes sense that her sound would drift in a more commercial direction. Time will tell however if that's where she stays.

+potato chips collect your weave and begone

Deep

+Alain Bruno i like this song

+Alain Bruno great beat!!!

+Alain Bruno my new fav song

+Alain Bruno Please get the hell outta here...your commenting on every damn video -_-
