John Grant - Where Dreams Go To Die (Strongroom Session)

[@mbearpa]

Apparently, his work is not for everyone (friends ask me to turn him off), but he strikes a deep chord for me and I love the counterpoint between self-effacement and proud outrage.

[@stevehanson1598]

He writes songs that touch their emotions... why I ADORE him

This man is a f**king genius! You feel like the smartest person on the planet when you discover John Grant.

he opened for Elbow in LA, I was transfixed.

[@RalphDavisVoiceovers]

"I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye" - these are words you don't hear in a song very often.

[@Tina-hs3yf]

was listening to this part of the song, and suddenly find your comment! absolutely big LIKE! 💕

Well!!!!!!...........What did he say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John could have made himself the next Pogo 🤡 if he didn’t turn to music. He wrote a lot of beautiful breakup songs that all vengeful serial killers should listen to. You could regard them as a dirge. His voice is very soothing and redeeming as well.

[@ChristineJSmith16]

Haven't found anything more beautiful in this lifetime than pathos in art. John Grant is an artist who moves me to tears.

[@emmapritchard6310]

I burst into tears when I first heard "Caramel". His talent is unbelievable xXx

[@b0xerr677]

listen to Tamino's Tiny Desk Concert, thank me later

[@TheDDG]

Why is this guy not enormously popular? What an amazing talent.

[@fauxsuede4453]

"It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true" This is full of acceptance, hopelessness, sadness... I love you John Grant, long live!

[@TheAmra66]

!!!!

[@youbetuist]

His whole catalogue is like this - a hidden treasure for the world to discover.

[@NicHills]

Genius songwriting, this song is amazing to crank up loud when driving on your own and sing along to the chorus - such power and emotion….

So sad I cannot find friends who like the music I like...

[@franklinhernandezl.7217]

Very true..and when we find those friends we cant stop talking for hours and hours

[@angrysumoxxx]

That is sad. They'll find their ways to you sometime.

[@stephenclark2163]

Monica Moura totally understand...cant see why other people don’t see him as the genius that i do?

[@solarisimus]

no, that's not true.....u'r not the only one.....trust me....

[@ΕργιναΜαλλη]

He is definitely unique. This song specifically depicts his intelligence and sensitivity. When I listened to it for the first time, I felt deeply moved. An amazing pianist too.

[@straybek2667]

Ten years on and still it hasn't reached a million views. I'm baffled and a little sad.

[@stewartpack7850]

So f__king great. John holds this song in his hands like clay and though it's subjectively "sad" you hear playfulness within its delivery. Such an artist and uplifting presence.

[@maxthechocoholic]

i cannot stop coming back to this song. this version is particularly wonderful on a grand piano. and the way his voice just cracks a bit with emotion at the end rounds off brilliantly an extraordinarily moving piece of work.

[@joz8996]

voice, music, words. It's all perfect.

[@anthonymichael5078]

Queen of Denmark is a masterpiece of an album! I LOVE this album

[@ejvn]

wrong comment, wrong song... try again: :D

[@AlmondAngel]

Lyrics're great, but, it's not the main reason I simply can't stop crying. It's, because of his Voice and purpose! I realized I wasted my precious time called "creative life", just because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. No remorse, long live the John! T h a n k Y o u

[@neilread2799]

It is one of the greatest songs yet written. 'You have to play your part my dear, I've written it all down for you' is one of the saddest lines I've ever heard. John knows it will never work, but the other guy doesn't. Plus it's the most beautiful song I can sing in one key and I have a rubbish voice. It is a work of genius.

[@metalqueen17]

John is a pure genius 👌❤🖤 I'm so happy I finally decided to delve into his deeply captivating music during this shitty pandemic, after knowing about him for years... He's so easy to fall in love with, isn't he?! 😍 Much love to all

Your beauty is unstoppable; your confidence unspeakable. I know you know I know you know that I know that you know. I'm willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear, Even though I don't have anything that I could bargain with. This is like a well-oiled machine. Could I please see that smile again? It's all that makes me feel that I am living in this world I see you closing all the doors. I see the walls as they go up I know it's what you have to do. I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! You have to play your part, my dear. I've written it all down for you. It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true. Just do it then I'll let you go. Just say the words and say them slowly. I promise I'll tell no one. Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby, please!

My friend Audrey would have loved this guy. She's in heaven now. But if she was still alive I would be talking to her about John Grant right now. This song is sad but awesome. I'm depressed but this is comforting for me.

Oktober in London live sehen werde! Ich bin so ein großer Fan von dir, dass ich aus dem tiefsten Schwarzwald nach London fliege, um dich zu sehen. Never stop making music, John!

This is such a beautiful song. So haunting. I've been listening to the rest of his album, Queen Of Denmark on Spotify, and there are a few other tracks on it that really stood out. A terrific new find. Yes, it reminds me a little bit of Rufus Wainwright whose music I love as well.

[@pinkcaz]

Brings tears to my eyes - in a good way!

[@broitt]

Great John Grant! I look forward to listen next album!!

[@ledivo59]
