// DAVID // grimes

[@C9MERON]

the lyric "i never knew" in this context is so devastatingly sincere... and how she cries it over and over again, almost wailing, is just heartbreaking.

[@lucidstargirl]

This song has me crying now that I've read the lyrics. My best friend Carlos committed suicide 2 years ago. He was so beautiful and always so happy, he was the closest friend I ever had. His suicide was a shock and it still is, I don't understand it. I really love this song, thank you Grimes for making this. You sung what i couldn't find the words for.

[@mindmy609]

You never know it's a cry silent suicide is the ones tragically who go all the way

[@SkywalkerSam64]

A lack of spiritual understanding is always a lack of cosmic friendship.

[@grimesreal1762]

I lost a friend the sameway, he talked to me a week before he did it and i asked about my dad killing himself , and i said i forgive him and it was everybody's right , i don't believe that now, but the guilt still haunts me , such a beautiful man with so much to give , R.I.P x x x i miss you and what could of been x x x bless up bigman

[@grimesreal1762]

Thankyou for sharing ive lost two close friends two suicide and my father too suicide. Its something that leaves an indomitable hole in your life, i was crying all last week to this song, so beautiful and sincere. I will always love claire for giving me that gift xxx hope your feeling a bit better karin, just keep crying thats my advice xxx

[@SUPERTRASH_]

Ikr.. this song sounded so happy and then i read the lyrics maybe thats the irony of it, or intended... rip

[@schneevongestern9898]

She has written such wonderful and melodic and atmospheric music, it's fantastic. Her lyrics always very poetic, great beats, great melodies, great songwriter.

[@axelusul]

These are no regular lyrics, I mean, "Got me dressing in my Sunday best, Golden Spires of Light". This girl is so talented and has so many tunes she has not released or has issues with, I wish she would record them some are my very favourites.

[@emmastolwood2211]

Grimes Halfaxa Album helped me through a bereavement. I think it must be her voice of an dark angel! I love this song.

[@SkywalkerSam64]

No. She isn't a "dark angel"!

[@theadultsaretalking2582]

"how did that moment pass me by" i really feel those words, my best friend committed suicide a month ago i miss him so much its like the song was made for him

[@patrickcollar3587]

As time goes by, this song more and more makes me think of a female friend of mine that died, about 2 months ago. She was a nice person, dying in her late 20's. i miss her and hanging out with her at work and outside work. The lyrics are meaningful.

[@ericbryant6097]

that sucks man

[@GilbertStone]

eric bryant is this real? Please share your empathy... some of us got that heart

[@austinmaser5127]

I listen to this every time I am sad. My brother's name was David and his girlfriend committed suicide after his death. I wish Grimes would officially make and release this song at some point, it means a lot to me.

[@chokogirl2276]

I wish you the best my mate condoglianze❤️❤️

[@axelusul]

Tragic..

[@guitaria66636]

i know everyone including me wants a studio version, but she’s not gonna profit off of her friend’s death.

[@snailsbo4170]

perhaps she can donate all the money she makes from this song to a suicide prevention/awareness organization

[@bee-ep9qz]

@@snailsbo4170 tbh she might not even want to share it with people due to personal reasons too. she doesn't have to release something so personal to her.

[@michellescarfSpacex]

Delete is also about her friend dying from a heroin overdose and that is a Beautiful 💜 Sad video

[@c.ccarlhead5744]

This song will always make conveying feelings of mourning easier. At least for a moment.

[@bluejasmine662]

this song made me cry and i never cry . Cried like a little bitch and it was amazing

[@lilyallenandthediamonds1749]

were crying together

[@SkywalkerSam64]

It's not bitches who cry, but those who don't!

[@quanganh5026]

Grimes had so many so good af unreleased songs :((((

[@ruggedrat2582]

Heartbeats and rasik and this one. Also “Unknown” and a few others that she should’ve released. Idk man this one makes me emotional and heartbeats

[@SkywalkerSam64]

May our dead friends find their ways through the magnificient astral-sphere! t

[@blifx]

Where are you Claire?

[@Qofkidwhrbd]

How can you look so good and feel the way you do? I never knew

[@athenachristinemusic]

Where does my heart go when you die....

[@GilbertStone]

Hey, hun!!! Just saw you in the comment section and I had to say "Hi!" lol This track is so beautiful

[@axelusul]

With the one's you love....

[@GilbertStone]

axel usul playing it now again because of you 💕

[@faeplur3233]

I was gonna tag you in this lmao!

[@athenachristinemusic]

@@GilbertStone hey!! Hope all is well :)

[@descarbocilandomarchand9660]

This is so beautiful and sad

[@TheSashaholic]

hands down one of the best grimes songs imo... still waiting for an official release/ studio version of she’s down (but ofc I also respect her decision not to do it)

[@alessandra11c]

feb 2021 and still can’t get over this song

[@mattfrench2390]

Been fighting bipolar since I was 12 - that's like 13 years now and this song makes it that little bit easier ❤️❤️

[@ericbryant6097]

your not alone over 10yrs for me

[@mattfrench2390]

eric bryant hope you are still fighting the good fight! It doesn't get any easier but every day we stay alive we get stronger!

[@ericbryant6097]

im still here matt im going to seek ayahuasca treatment help facilitate with work exchange and get into holistic healing others as well

[@ravendarts]

eric bryant how was your journey with ayahuasca?? Hope you see this!- Im an emerging artist whom also struggles with bipolar.... over the past few years I’ve realized the healing properties of mindfulness and altered stated of consciousness..... I hope you can reach out to me, I’m looking to get in touch with others like-minded people...

[@ΑναστασίαΚοντοπάνου-τ8γ]

Here is another person that struggles with bipolar and loves this song.🥲🙂

[@waldopardon7943]

I love Grimes

[@eringadol1130]

I know, this song has me crying too! Really awesome melody, but the words are such a sad but lovely touch…

[@aliceforward8849]

Kinda understand why she never released this based on knowing what it is about but it is so beautiful, amazing as always grimes

[@traceymacy]

the heart as a manefestation of love between two humans exists in self and causes such beautiful feelings ,in death such love is split ,this realization can cause a broken heart

[@sachalebabe]

I love this photo, the way the guy is casually sitting on one of the graves... Pretty cool.

[@Slim_Vervenet]

It does fit this song pretty good.

[@Lukania]

@grimes this rendition is beautiful enough. You can't let a good thing rot in your hands.

[@grimesreal1762]

He has transmuted to spirit, I hear the words 'Tao king', once you see as many as I have seen exit, you will know they always with us, We stand alone in body but we walk with many in s p i r i t💜🙏

[@hobbes7792]

These are the right lyrics btw [Verse 1] Thinking up stories in my mind to relax, every single night There are no responsibilities there, everything's alright [Pre-Chorus] Every time I'm down, I dream, I dream of you It's not worth it, though, forgetting everything I know I need my old friend sitting next to me Time is everything, I'm thinking why do you have to be? [Chorus] Where does my heart go when you die How did that moment pass me by, oh How can you look so good and feel the way you do I never knew Oh, I never knew, oh [Verse 2] Got me dressin' in my Sunday-best; golden spires of light Hours pass like they are minutes or less, everything is alright [Pre-Chorus] Every time I'm down, I dream, I dream of you It's not worth it, though, forgetting everything I know (Was it worth it, though, leaving everything you know?) I need my friend is sitting next to me You were everything, I'll help you, why do you have to be? [Chorus] Where does my heart go when you die How did that moment pass me by, oh How can you look so good and feel the way you do I never knew Oh, I never knew [Chorus] Where does my heart go when you die How did that moment pass me by, oh How can you look so good and feel the way you do I never knew Oh, I never knew I never knew

[@ryandommerman9295]

I would like to do a psychological analysis of the people disliking this song and find out what creates people like that.

[@starmartir]

This song is to me beyond beautiful ❤️

[@scarlettfeetham7344]

made me cry :(

[@Slim_Vervenet]

I always knew the story behind this song but i never though someday i would listen this song thinking about my sister and how she left us...😢

[@lkv2021]

2:12 sounds like "you were my everything...". I can't make out the rest of the line. So sad, but lovely song.

[@charlotterosetta3063]

❤️ her cute Lil voice tho 😍

[@substikaninfinka8798]

i keep saying this

[@Xglay]

Keep waiting…

[@michaelworkman4057]

pretty sure new album is on its way! so excited! also, becoming more and more convinced that C/Grimes is Frida Kahlo reincarnated or something like that.

[@sayonara_moon]

Я тебя правда люблю

[@Carlos_RodriguesS2]

Great

[@pepsipi1]

I'm glad it's unreleased. It's a secret song for her deceased friends and I can relate, I think of my uncle every time I hear it

[@xfabricioalvesx]

Wierd, love "DAVID" by GRIMES, especially this version. I bought the BBC "IN THE FLESH" DVD and just received it, watched an episode this morning and recognized the image in the graveyard. Subliminal or what, LOL!.

[@djenitals5180]

Best show in the world.

[@Ari-zx3fi]

In the Flesh eh? This song always reminded me of my boyfriend all through highschool David Church... is it a church graveyard?

[@axelusul]

@@Ari-zx3fi Yeah, you should watch In the Flesh, BBC drama it may be on line BBC web site as a box set. It is very good.

[@harpna]

I think Grimes is my grandma - no evidence only Suspicious resemblence to aaaa R... winning streak - maybe not with choreography but at least she tried - thx for watching - not listening oh duuude

[@perasperaadastra2932]

I think this is the fetus version of realiti

[@sachalebabe]

I personally think the lyrics written here are incorrect.

[@sachalebabe]

Amazing video and version of David, though I'm not sure the lyrics are correct.

[@Buttsbuttsandmorebutts]

This song means so much to me… my cousin died when we were 16 in a car accident. I didn’t realize until recently how much her death affected me. We both were dealing with depression but I never knew until after she died. When I hear the line “i never knew” it hits me so hard. Also over the years I realize that she really has faded from my memory. It’s hard to picture her face and voice when I remember a couple weeks after her death I could see and hear her clearly… I know she is still with me but this song means so much.

[@sayonara_moon]

🙈🦋🔪🐞

[@alaennochoa8388]

:(

[@davidwalker7383]

These lyrics are not correct

[@davidfraserscott4765]

what's it all about ? xxx.

[@athenachristinemusic]

David fraser Scott a friends suicide.

[@athenachristinemusic]

The Mushroom Maiden yes she does! She is my biggest musical inspiration :)

[@athenachristinemusic]

The Mushroom Maiden I’ve also battled suicide myself - hearing songs like this make me realize you never know what you mean to someone.

[@mikaylapfamstarlingkelkat6751]

But this song is released. We are listening to it right now and its still effecting our souls and life. And that's what its really about. So beautiful

[@anyasogames]

how can you look so good but feel the way you do? oh i never knew…

[@alicewilde878]

this is so beautiful! thank you for making this video
