Thanks James for another visit, very much appreciated. Grace's music seems to weave a Tapestry of the heart, that binds people together with a common thread regardless of their preferred styles of music. She is a true spirit of music. peace Grant🎼🎶

[@jamesgriego1089]

I believe that Grace has a special gift that's not like others who write song that are basically pop, hip-hop, rap, other with out any kind of real meaning, Grace sends you on a journey through time and space and in a song that no one in the music industry can even come close to matching, because it is so true every word that Grace writes makes you realize your own existence in real time, please some one explain how 13 yr old Adolescent can explain the meaning of our humanity better In a song than my professor of humanities can't come close to at 60, my God what mind this child has and now the teen of 18 yrs has more knowledge than most adults when it comes to who we are, she literally saved a lot of souls who had darkness in their life, and explains what love really is without using the word love, can explain what beauty lies in the world of a flowers and so much more, come folks, this is not a normal human child that writes these unbelievable lyrics, like the reactors said Wow and she just doesn't know what a genius lyricist she is, I rest my case!! Thanks Grant for this compilation of head scratchers!!! This was great, thanks Grant, you know how to please the mind!

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Very simple answer to you my friend, She was created by Nature as a true Spirit of music with the gift of creative insight through musical creation and to give freely these messages of wisdom to the world. After all James it is in her nature to do so!😁 With love and respect to you and your wife Mary. Grant

[@jamesgriego1089]

@@GRANTTRIBECreates I thank you for giving my wonderful wife Mary a shout out, a special gift from a very special friend, and yes, you said it truthfully and honestly, Grace was gifted with these special talents and we are blessed that Grace was given to us mortals to have an understanding of this knowledge so it can be passed on the world! PS. Mary's doing quite well these past few days, bless you and yours for all you do, you are a friend for life, maybe we will meet at a Grace Vanderwaal concert soon for Letters Vol.2, by the way, the The HSG trailers are coming out on May 3rd. Google posted a people magazine article with photos of Grace in scenes with Uma Thurman and Elijah Richardson, also staring with a great actress Judy Greer and an iconic Taxi actor Judd Hersh, Google Grace's Vanderwaal interview with people Hollywood Star Girl, thanks again Grant!!?

[@jackietunberg5819]

One of my favorite songs and I wish I could hear it more out in the world. She is a genius song writer and singer. My favorite IDOL since AGT.

[@Cal99ers]

6-8 years later and I still can't put my finger on why I tear up whenever I hear Grace's vocals at 12 to 14. After that, 15 and on I'm just in awe at the beautiful tones of her voice.

[@Cal99ers]

Anyone who has followed Grace since the beginning knows her friendships, adoration of her sister, love of her Mother respect for her Dad could put together a basic psychological profile of Grace and understand that once she sat down with writers for the JTB album her songs weren't what normal kids have on their minds, typical friends bickering, jealousies, problems with the parents, boys. Grace has developed into a deep thinker who unlike millions of other who are like that can put it down on paper and into her songs. A rare gift. Normal reactors think that they are dealing with a pop kid and totally miss what she is doing. If this was the 60s reactors would do their one or two Dylan reactions and then get right back to their Archie's and The Jackson 5 videos. Is that what a minute and a half of black screen means? Only a few have taken the time to really look at what she's doing. They get it. There are a few really good musicians who react and they won't touch Grace because to them without even looking Grace is just another one of those Pop girls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKvUfWVpl5eljqs We've had a few good reactors in the past who have bowed out for personal reasons and it's a shame whatever happened to them and I hope for their well being, they loved Grace and were dedicated to keeping up to Grace. Do we need to keep harping at the reactors who pit Grace and AJ against each other, some seem to think so.

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

I agree with all your sentiments, and statements of fact, LOL however the blank screen at the end of the video was a processing error with KZbin and the completed product. My ending was the clip of Grace explaining the origins of Lungs with about a 10 second fade to black. It has been corrected. Thanks again Cal for all your support and heartfelt interactions. It means a lot to me my friend. peace Grant😀

Oh how I miss those days of listening to a new Grace song! That fade to black at the end of the video was just perfect. It gave me a moment to reflect on the beautiful lyrics of Grace's song! She could sing this song in French, and I would still be moved by it. Thanks Grant!

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

LOL Thanks Brian, I agree with you on everything, but the extra long void at the end of the video was a processing glitch between the download process and you tube😀My ending was the self explanation of the song by Grace and about five seconds of black. peace and happiness my friend. Grant

Sorry I am late, been busy with making Grace related content myself, but since my camera is down 😢, i had some time, I came to take a peek, I am personally honored to have appeared in this, especially along side the greats like Fable? and Petra?? Dax??? Grace reactor royalty.......that is an honor in and of itself. I have watched your reaction compilations, and I always thought how cool it would be to be in one..... thank you, it is as much an honor that you saw fit to place me in this video as it is to be placed with such reactor legends in the Grace world.... absolute honor, double honor at that.

🎼 Lungs “everyone discusses my art as if they understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love...” claude monet _”lungs_ is grace’s curve ball in her song catalog. whereas the majority of her self-penned songs are themed, or tell a story with a goal in mind, _lungs_ seem to be more of an impressionistic abstract painting, more concerned with firing your own imagination to try and make sense of the riot of imagery being thrown at you.” that’s a pretty good general description of _lungs,_ courtesy of mark lalonde. for some, _lungs_ is a meditation on the nature of being, a meditation which leads us into the ever present present- into a state of consciousness which allows us to observe beauty in the unobserved. the world that grace describes in _lungs_ is not a physical place but a metaphor for this state of being. but instead of observing beauty, we run around doing “stuff” in a futile attempt to stay young, little knowing that trying to be young is what is making us grow old. grace was thirteen when she wrote _lungs._ the amazing grace vanderwaal

[@RetNemmoc555]

Good comment on the metaphor of the candle.

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Well said Bobby, I agree completely but I did like the cut slider in the song So much more than this this, came along a little later with some of the same ideals of noticing the simple beauties in life, and how fleeting life is. Grace puts that to music better than anybody. Thanks Bobby for that great insight into Grace, peace Grant

[@jamesgriego1089]

Bobby 357, that was a beautifully expressed and it is very well said, simply put, Grace's lyrical genius gives us who want more in this life a picture of what's in our mind that could be, "Dancing flames into this glass castle and under ground wax world, rushing water at the park takes you to a different world", how is this not genius, I hope the industry wakes up to see what they have with Grace, she is like no other artist on this planet! Grace is a Monet in music, Grace is a Rembrandt of the art in musical compositions!

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Thanks 55Paul for the visit, and your simple and yet profound statement of fact, my friend. That thirty second clip of Grace explaining in simplicity the reasoning behind her lyrics, actually exposed the genius of her minds eye, and its intricacies of thought perception and forming those concepts into reality. LOL It was probably the most profound example of a compositional genius thought process laid out in a thirty second clip in history. LOL okay a little stretch but you get the drift. peace Grant😀

[@daxmusix]

Wonderful, Grant. Simply wonderful! This is still my favorite early Grace VanderWaal song, with “A Better Life” being a very close second. It’s truly remarkable that a young poet stares at a candle and then comes up with the phrase “dancing flames in its glass castle,” and then proceeds to make a sublime statement on the nature of youth and age and the necessity of having a free soul - “letting go.” And then to top it off with sublime music, perfect music, and an emotional voice that has never been equaled. I still remain gobsmacked by her and her music. Thanks again, my friend! 😉

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Thank you Dax, I appreciate your interjections and in sights of wisdom more than you know. Your sentiments have always been a positive light in this KZbin journey of mine.

[@ralfrecknagel4760]

Thanks a lot for this compliation ! Remembering the day when I heard "Lungs" for the first time ... a sleepless night ... the aphorisms, speech melody, composition and music - that's something you can't learn, but only dream. To be modest and wise and skilled at that level at the age of 13 is truely unique. BTW ... we had out first choir rehersial after quite a long time this week, singing "My favorite things" in a new SATB version with nice halftones ... and I had to think about Grace, how she would reveal the hidden beauty of this song.

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Thanks for another visit Ralf, I'll have to agree on all your points.......LOL But I think you would already know my biases towards Grace. Hey congrats on your choir rehearsals starting up again. That's great, Ralf ! I'd like to hear you guys sometime Health and happiness to you and yours Ralf🧑‍🎤🎼🎶 peace Grant

[@jeanlehoux4582]

Grace says it all in her comments at the end. When she started her creation, in what a simple idea and then it becameLung at some point, with all the dimensions covered. It’s not the first time that Grace explain how a song came to her and it’s different each time. Most artists will start with the music and write the words or vice versa. Grace a lot of time will start with the complete painting and will create the lyrics and the melody from the images she sees. That’s why she is so prolific and can adapt a single song in so different ways, depending of her mood, or where she’s at. Great review again Grant. Thanks for your great work.

[@GRANTTRIBECreates]

Well said Jean, and a true statement of fact. Just look at a better life, her ACL or studio version then listen to Fender, completely different mindset and delivery. She can adapt and recreate music as easily as the four winds blow. Peace and happiness to you and yours my friend. Grant

[@jeffboyles7931]

Thanks so much Grant, you have made my day my friend!! I love all the music put out by our little singer-songwriter prodigy but this is in the Top 5 of my favorite GVW songs. Cannot believe it was a "Bonus Track" on her JTB album. What a beautiful and thought-provoking song, it gives me chills. So underrated, even by Grace herself. Thx again Grant, your work is brilliant!
