[@chloeadaline9349]

What hits me the hardest is that she can just create music as a feeling based on what she likes or things that has happened to her. That's what makes her music so interpretive and special for me, like I can't relate to or feel a lot of music due to it's lyrics or like the feeling of it (if that makes sense), but hers just kinda "exists" and it's beautiful and you feel it and can turn it into whatever you want in your mind, that's something I needed and love so much!

[@paolafrias]

Black Harvest you know people can have kids without being in love, right?

In every interview i learn something new. Thanks Claire!♡

"I think this is the album that I have wanted to make like, my whole life, but I needed to get there like, emotionally, and... technically" I can relate to this on so many levels. When you create art, you suddenly become aware of what you are pouring on it, and sometimes, when something is missing, you know you can't finish it until you find it, which is often a new understanding and perspective on life, your own cosmovision and the way you feel.

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

She’s basically ahead of her time, so ahead, that in 2077, they would regard her as an icon of their time.

[@Andrea-ue7gv]

DrumtotheBass Woop that's a reach

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

Andrea that’s my point, her music is beyond my comprehension. But I’m sure there maybe a bigger fan base in the future.

[@8bitdiedie]

DrumtotheBass Woop Ahead of her time? Acts like Crystal Castles were doing the same stuff as her half a decade earlier

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

8bitdiedie I couldn’t comment, like I said her music is beyond me, but maybe some other people might like it.

[@SufficientSpells]

@@DrumToTheBassWoop what about it is beyond you? Like what, the structure? The words? I feel like it's all there lol

[@a.a7160]

I really want to listen to Dark Souls. It was the song she was mostly talking about while making the album and I'm so sad she didn't finish it...

[@majinmana8524]

ARO A I wanna play dark souls and listen to it

[@lifesquixotic]

She will eventually. Seems like she’s a perfectionist, so don’t rush magic ❤️

[@feripe2841]

i dream of a dune movie where she is the one who makes the sountrack it would be sick

[@BorisG13]

I love her so much. Her music is just incredible!

[@Krustenkaese92]

"Dark Souls" is the song that drove her mad and she couldn't finish ... How fitting.

[@TheGlovener1985]

Well said sir lol

[@fretworkinmotion3711]

I can just imagine Grimes fighting the adorable great grey wolf Sif boss and finding out the lore behind him too would drive her mad with emotional feels 😱

[@williamberry4597]

You died

[@klaine88]

“sandy threw em out i think” i love this so much

[@austinb7599]

Her last two albums were absolutely breathtaking. I don't think I can stan any harder.

[@OkamiWSDwarrior]

Geidi Primes is still my fave. I remember when it first came out, it’s a beautiful album! The history of it is super cool.

[@ckisdead4504]

The way she spilled when she said Miss Anthro is her best album and Halfaxa was her most underrated

[@xXBLACKOPS28Xx]

Not a single song on miss Anthropocene that I don’t like. ITS A MASTERPIECE

[@fercyccone]

Stop taking mood drugs...

[@Hale_chp]

@@fercyccone What? The album is great...like a masterpiece. I've never taken a drug, I just feel the music.

[@rafaelbruno2128]

I don't like darkseid, i prefer the demo version without Pan.

[@Hale_chp]

@brokenupbeat Well what defines a masterpiece? Its just what people like and sounds like gold to them.

[@tranquileyesher]

Agreed

[@edenmercedes]

New fan so happy I finky found your music. It speaks to me on a deep level which was only met by spoon prior. Enjoying a whole decade of music now

[@courtneymiller2768]

Genesis has always been one of my favorite songs, yesss

[@sabretheartist]

i never want this video to end

[@AdelaTomankova]

I love how she explains stuff! "When I was making it, I was like super "ahhhh!"!"

[@duncanwcraig9668]

I got onto Grimes circa 2012. I’m now in my early 50s. Love Grimes !

[@mv-photo]

I’m tripping out because she articulates things similarly to how I do and everyone’s like ‘I don’t understand what she’s saying’ but I’m like confused because I get what she’s tryna get at, and I’m so glad to be able to listen to her music !!

[@AliceSpaxxx]

She IS that ”different, weird” girl that every girl TRIES to be.

[@sansastark5810]

nah man. she's just as cool as every other girl who "tries" to be her. everyone's an individual, no matter how determined you are to put them into boxes

[@saorisouma5841]

That's a reach

[@AliceSpaxxx]

D A Ya’ll don't get it 😅 nowadays its ”cool” to be ”different”. So many girls are always saying but I am not like other girls, I am different and weird and blaaah blaaah... I didn't say that someone tries to be her in specific.

[@okayno4045]

"Every girl" Please, make more generalizations.

I real died when she said she made art angels inspired by paramore. ❤️

[@strangelittlegirl27]

Its so weird how its nothing alike and Hayleys new music is so much better. Hayley hates her Paramore music.

[@Konzertheld]

@@strangelittlegirl27 music you listen to does not have to be like what you wanna do, it just has to inspire you and apparently she was inspired to use guitars more after listening to Paramore, which totally makes sense. Also Hayley does not hate per Paramore music, just some of it and her current music represents her better, which also makes sense because of course you are always represented best by your current music.

[@lep2525]

Hayley absolutely does not hate her Paramore music, wtf are you talking about?

[@fercyccone]

Which is just sad on her part...but the heart wants what it wants...

[@purplekitkatemily]

@@strangelittlegirl27 Hayley hates Paramore??? Like OG Paramore??? Thats nuts. I used to be obsessed with old Para.

[@Josh-rh3ub]

i got into her music in 2020 and honestly i am pleasantly surprised to see how sweet and intelligent she is

[@happytobehere200]

I grow more fascinated with each video I see of her. She’s just lovely, lively and very thoughtful. I just know we would be great friends!

[@kinleyschaffer4679]

Lmao “I used to use acrylic paint on my face to make myself look paler, it’s like really bad for you, yeah.” I love her!

[@gillyanenya5276]

she’s one of the most dedicated, creative artists of our generation. hearing her talk about how she creates literally blows me away. she’s insane

[@shadowcadette]

Grimes is someone I could never get bored of listening to, I want her on a podcast or something because I need to know her thoughts on like everything.

[@ig1398]

i just discovered grimes and they're literally nothing like how i expected but in the best way possible
