I feel like she looked exactly like this coming up with this song, sitting on her bedroom floor with a bunch of instruments and fancy toys and creating beautiful madness.
@@le3ks989 it is true that Grimes made the entirety of Visions using GarageBand, but it was made on her Mac not an iPad. She also made Halfaxa and Geidi Primes using it. People seem to forget GarageBand was a Mac app long before iPads even existed lol
I definitely disagree this is by far her best song. Oblivion, Flesh Without Blood, My Sister Says the Saddest things, World Princess II, Kill v Maim, Pin, she has a lot of genuinely great songs
@@totallypixelated This. She probably also has different effects on each. When doing XY patterns with microphones you dont sing directly into one that would make no sense.
@@iTzKaiBUD The main vocal mic is going through the Line 6 M9 for reverb and delay for sure. Hard to tell if the M9 is on a send and return on the mixer or just on that mic straight into a channel. I have a feeling it's the latter as that is definitely the wettest thing there, if there's any reverb on the other channels at all. Pretty sure the other mic is going straight into the Boss Loopstation and into a mixer channel. Sample loops are from a Roland SP404 and there seems to be some track coming from her phone. Obviously Roland Juno G keys too. You're right, XY is a stereo recording technique using 2 mics and that's not what's going on here.
It's crazy she made that song in her apartment. Like its weird to see a song like this performed so unfiltered and up close. Goes to show, if you know how to use your gear and how to write a song. It's possible to create art at a level that the masses can enjoy and resonate with.
This so therapeutic. Don't even know what shes saying but it is so relaxing and de-stressing. Dark room, headphones heavy bass for best effect.Thank you Grimes!
Grimes actually writes, produces, mixes all her own songs. A true artist. Yet I see a bunch of boomers saying she sucks in comments on her videos just because she married Elon. Grimes is a true artist who deserves so much credit for her remarkable talent.
i checked her out a few weeks ago, thought she was too weird for me, got this song stuck in my head for like a day, checked out more of her music, now I listen to all of her music on repeat all day everyday. love her insight on certain topics and I feel like she's one of those artists who puts so much effort into their work. shes different and it's so refreshing!
Well yes, but besides that, there are chunks and portions of her songs that are sometimes unclear. Which I am totally okay with, she's relaxing and dreamy. xo
A lot of the background vocal parts are reversed. And if they're not reversed, then she has said that she forgets a lot of her lyrics. Probably because she was super drugged up trying to finish Visions. You can see her fumble around with the lyrics in old concert vids sometimes, especially with Realiti. But she's gotten a lot better at remembering and she's even redone some lyrics to songs like Nightmusic.
"My heart will never feel (be) Will never see Will never know Oh, heart And then it falls And then I fall And then I know [x4] My, My, My Ever see, ever be, ever know My heart Ever see, ever be, ever know My heart Home and I know Playing the deck above It's always different I'm the one in love [x4] My heart will never feel (be) Will never see Will never know Oh, heart And then it falls And then I fall And then I know [x2] Ever see, ever be, ever know My heart Ever see, ever be, ever know Home and I know Playing the deck above It's always different I'm the one in love [x2] Home and I know Playing the deck above It's always different (now) I'm the one in love [x2]"
It seems so natural to her. I don't think she's trying to sell a cettain image- that's just her. I don't even think she's trying to push anything in people's faces- she's just using her creative energies and making something fun. Or that's what I think.
Apparently she doesn't care, she's enjoying herself, and not forcing anything on people, she just wants us to enjoy ourselves as well, just like she does in this video. Being yourself, expressing how you feel, opening your heart and soul to new things, discovering, feeling, growing, falling, and evolving from your past experiences. The message is clear: Take a deep breathe, feel your heart and move forward 🤍
pure talent. I used to watch this all the time back in 2012....now that so much time has passed and shes changed so much, interesting to look back at this timid little girl sitting on a floor playing with these toys...something she has obviously done for years for nothing more than a passion for creation and expression.
My heart will never see, will never feel, will never know Oh heart, and then it falls, and then I fall, and then I know Home and I know Playing on the deck of above It's always different I'm the one in love
The way I found this song was pretty amazing, I was 15 at the time. My family and I (from Australia) went on a trip around Europe and while we were in Italy this song came on my Spotify discover weekly. Right as we were driving through the county side of Italy. It was well and truly one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve experienced. This song found me at an amazing time.
My best friend forgot my birthday and I been feeling very lonely, sometimes people just seen to be my friends because I work hard to be good at school, Grimes do most of all things by herself, it's inspiring for me because I'm thinking about ending all my friendship, it's always people using me. Thank you for being here
Happy Birthday 🎂 Life gets better after you graduate school....kids can be d -bags sometimes,has nothing to do with you...keep loving you and doing things you love...life will unfold slowly like a rose ❤
She knows what feels good, and she puts that into every song, so no matter different it seems to be or sound, there's no way you won't like it. Putting into simple words: Her melodies are catchy as hell.
reading the recent criticisms of grimes by artists i wont mention, whom dont know she even performs live and they speak on her work like they know it and cant even search youtube and watch how damn brilliant she is
I can tell you this much as a musician.. she isn’t no propped up over paid entertainment.. that’s an artist pure n simple.. THATS HER PERSONAL MUSIC.. created and stamped her name on it
I'm late to this.. I've just discovered Grimes for myself and I can't thank her enough for her music and passion, it's inspired me to start drawing and creating again. Forever in her debt 🙏
I have not been amazed by an artist like this in a long long time. Adorable young lady. She’s off the charts. Who says theres no good music being made? There is now. Rock on. Girl 👧 power.
No artist, NONE OF THEM, are as talented as Grimes! She is the talent and brains behind every one of her lyric, music, music video, everything! So much respect for her
there's just something about her stage presence makes me believe life is worth living again. idk. i keep coming back to this performance in particular whenever i'm feeling real depressed and lethargic about life in general, it's beautiful
This is like my lullaby song. I found it in 2016 but never listened to this live version until a couple of years ago. Needless to say it's been saved in the playlist of my life 🙃
I actually woke up in the middle of the night saw this and its been 2 hrs straight I can’t sleep and will most probably vibe to it for the entire night
lyrics: My heart will neher be om bah, auh eher oah oee horing um op so horm hye ek a neka bas hol em so iss difrin ay neher be oh har nigh eki naki boa So iss diffrin, nauh iky niky bau
Aí sim dou valor. Ao vivo e entrega o que a música promete. E ainda consegue se concentrar em todas as programações. Para poucas e merece reconhecimento.
After watching this video I'm pretty sure that Grimes does alchemy with her sounds. Intentionally or not, it is magic. Especially by the end of her performance here, it felt something one of a kind. Something that comes from within. Her art feels pure.
I love you so much grimes . Especially this song. It holds so much meaning to my life . My first dmt trip and break through I asked to play this song while I left my body. It was perfect. As she kept singing “My heart, I never feel I never see I never know Oh, heart And then it falls And then I fall And then I know” It was like it all made sense. I’ll never be able to justify the way it all played into its existence. It was perfect.’it just made sense. Thank you ! ✨
Generally I don't stand recorded live performances, yet this one and Imogen Heap performing live a cappella version of Just for Now are definitely categorized as perfect in my mind.
