Grace VanderWaal - Florets (Live on the Honda Stage at Brooklyn Art Library)

[@megamonkeyblaster3627]

When I'm feeling stressed, under pressure, or just plain depressed, I listen to Grace. Especially her live songs. And suddenly everything is right with the world again.

[@danygarazo874]

I feel the same!

[@periasamyramesh6001]

Same!

[@For_lorn]

Same hereee

Same! DDD

right?

[@Cristian32arg]

She´s a genius composer, every song is a piece of the most pure ART, she has the heart connected to the universe.

[@AaronLyons]

Articulated perfectly friend. When I see her I have this feeling that I really don't want her to be subjected to the harsh ugliness of the world as she grows up. I feel I see inside her the innocence and beauty present within all of us, just tarnished and damaged to those who have been exposed grim realities. I'm not sure if that conveyed what I was trying to. I'm even less sure someone else interpretation will accurately depict the essessence of meaning floating in my psyche. Downloading thoughts from the land of divine imagination into a youtube comment section always seems to degrade the resolution... *Damn this weed is good*

[@dud3man6969]

It took me a while to realize how genius this song is. Just that phrase “Don’t let go [of me]”. She sings that so many different ways and each time it conveys a different emotive context. Actually at 3:17 sounds like somebody did let go and she was falling, but falling up instead of down. I can never listen to any of her songs a few times and get them. These Easter eggs take time to come out.

[@unicornloverallroundupsidedown]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[@HWARHWARHWAR]

Her life is like a movie.....and we have a lot of pop corn......you are a Bless Grace!

[@kimberlyjones427]

One of the judges mentioned your songs for the next generation. I am 54. This song gave me chills all the way through it. God gave me another chance at life. I tried to end it and God saved me. I now must wear braces to walk with a walker. Grace you inspire me with your face...your voice...your lyrics and best of all your attitude. Thank you...I am going after my dreams now.

[@leebrandon3842]

when i first saw this girl on AGT performing and writing her own songs i was blown away and immediately you could tell this girl has "it" and she's gonna be a huge star. her unique voice is so great and the fact that she can write super catchy wonderful songs at that age is a breath of fresh air.

[@anupada]

has any other artist in history ever..... demonstrated the bliss and radiant beauty of being oneself......and connected ...... through the art of music......as purely and beautifully as Grace VanderWall? The answer is no....not because Grace is special....but just because she's Grace

[@JmanTheVanderwaalFan]

Grace has never been matched by anyone in history, she is not just special, she is unique

[@offensivedork3445]

Definition of no auto tune but complete raw talent.

[@fabriziomolinari7953]

I see people asking her for more music more concerts, let me tell you what I wish for you. Take it easy, have peace of mind for many days. Stay away from interviews photo-shoots and other things like that. We need you to be healthy, well I need you to be healthy for many many years to come. You have given us so much already.

[@SuperPalaver]

Fabrizio Molinari Grace gets probably as much down time as she can stand. She bores easily with too much time off. After her tour finished, she spent much of a day just quietly working on a quilt. However today, March 9th, she's in Kenya with the Starkey Foundation helping to distribute hundreds of hearing aids. You almost never see big, established stars doing this without a film crew tagging along as a publicity thing. Grace is there with her dad, and isn't doing it for the recognition, but because she's a beautiful, empathic human being who's been giving back with open hands in the 18 months since she won AGT. She's one of those rare people actually worthy of the title "Superstar."

[@MohammedAhmed-qv9uo]

Omg so true!!

[@lake-om5ss]

Hahaha same

[@musclecars60]

The white fluffy part of a dandelion is SEEDS, not florets. The yellow part is called ray florets. Her mom was wrong.

[@sandman7849]

@@musclecars60 Yeah but you can still blow the florets too. By the way the florets aren't the yellow part. They are the fine hairs (seeds) above the petals. They turn into the fluff.

[@AndresMilioto]

I was in the middle of a conversation with very smart people today and they started talking about dandelions, and knowing the word "floret" made me look really cool. Thank you Grace :)

Donald Fielden its not you have the same problem

[@johnjap2]

Donald Fielden I hear ya Donald. Ever since “I Don’t Know My Name...”. I’m like : “I just love this song...”. She writes and sings another song and I’m like “No I love this song even more!!” I guess that’s the NEW definition of “A Shooting Star 🌠 “ Love 💕 ya Grace!!!

[@PrenticeFamily25]

grace? your literally the greatest singer i have ever heard!!!!! reply if you agree

[@tqnews2]

Bob Dylan redux for the 21st century.

[@greggoodwin9299]

She won AGT doing all originals at 12 yrs old. The amazing thing is this: Usually when you hear someone's original for the first time you may not understand the words or catch on to it. You forget about it until you hear it again. Not Grace's songs. They jump out at you and stick like glue.

[@johnbroski3637]

Dance, Grace, dance!..... Do you notice how comfortable she is becoming to dancing and moving and swaying to her music?..... It all really started at the roll-out, world-premiere of "Moonlight" at VidCon, where she danced a few steps, and we began to see her grow into her career!..... GO Grace!.... :)

[@ChazEvansdale]

She looks so happy dancing to her own music too. :) 2:43 It's like you can see her face saying, "I love this beat." :) Grace is amazing! :)

[@ROCROCROC1]

I think you are absolutely right. It is the exact moment she found the stage and became a performer. She took a few step and with a big smile said "hi" and the rest was historic. Nice call!

[@JmanTheVanderwaalFan]

"I can't be called dandelion fluff, like that's impossible" I do not think this girl knows how incredible she is, just amazing.....this song is at the top of my list right now, damn, I have work to do and I cannot stop listening to this damned song, Oh well, guess work can wait....

[@orifine6812]

I.... don’t.... have.... words..... she is just such a pure soul....

The most freeing song I have ever heard in all of my life. How is it possible for someone to take an already beautiful concept and make it more beautiful??? Well, you have to be Grace VanderWaal of course, because she is the only one on this planet who can take such an incredibly beautiful thing, and send it over the edge.

[@leylayurtsever8127]

I think a lot of people underrate Grace. Not only is she a very talented singer, she also writes her own music. I don't think people know how hard it is to write beautiful sounding and meaningful lyrics. Especially at her age, It's really hard to come up with lyrics that mean something to you but Grace does it all the time. I just love her! She's so talented

[@caltoo2717]

[@morganthompson7696]

You are so magical Grace. You can literally make a song out of anything, even dandelion fluff.

[@kurtjohnson3917]

Great song overall. But to me, as a songwriter, the amazing thing is how she put together that intial ukelele beat and layered the vocals over it. The two don't initially seem to match, and it took me a minute to catch up to it. It's unique, and really advanced for a 13 Y/O. It's the the kind of thing that seasoned song builders often just can't imagine. She's such an instinctual musician.

[@kenaldri4923]

She uses a similar uke pattern in "Moonlight" and "You're so Beautiful". Is it sort of a shuffle rhythm? Based on synchopation anyway. But to me these three songs really showcase Graces precocious writing skills.

[@kenaldri4923]

BTW Kurt, have you heard "You're so Beautiful" and "You'll get bored"? Both were performed by Grace at the slipper room in NYC but I can find no other performances or recordings online. Just search KZbin for her name and "slipper room". Anyway, what really impressed me were some chord changes that occurred in both songs near the end. Very unexpected. Jazzy. I struggle with wanting to know at all times what her contribution to a song is vs contributions from bandmates or collaborators. I suppose I don't really need to know, but then again curiousity can be hard to control.

[@tobytoxd]

@Kurt Johnson Yes, it truly IS amazing and very, very advanced! The ukulele groove is from the latin music and is called the Tumbao Bass figure. It's based on the famous 3-3-2 clave rhythm but only playing the second and third beat of it. The rhythms she plays and sings are at a very high level. Anyone who tries to do both at the same time with that free phrasing of the vocals, will have a hard time - even as a professional musician. Amazing Grace!! :D
