Grimes - David

[@jameslatta6813]

This song is about the suicide of Grimes close friend David Peet, who died in 2008. They had planned to create a band together. Peet was one of the co-founders of "Lab Synthese" (which is where Claire Boucher started to experiment in music under the name "Grimes"). David believed in her and her music. So when Peet passed Claire felt like she needed to move forward with the Grimes project, and she then signed with the record label Arbutus.

[@monk3brain365]

Wtf wow she lost so many friends 😢 she also talks about all her friends that passed from opium drugs abuse in the song Delete Forever

[@MelindaMutter]

Yes you speak truth. David was my son. Miss him so much❤

[@colddaze6680]

Thanks for the back story. Makes the song hit hard. I too have lost friends to suicide. Nearly lost my life to drugs. Some people say she grew up with privilege and money. Even so , she knows the pain of loss. She's suffered seeing friends lost to drugs. Nothing really shields you from the tragedy in this world. And they say artists feel things more deeply than most.

[@jameslatta6813]

@@colddaze6680 It's true her family had money. But for an extended period of time Claire (Grimes) she refused help from them and lived very lower class to live more extensively. To this day her toes are still damaged from frost bite when she hung out and performed in an abandoned warehouse in Canada. And at times she lived only on potatoes.

[@colddaze6680]

@@jameslatta6813 Heard something like that. Heard one side of her story that her parents cut her off for a while after she dropped out of university, to focus on music. Either way, respect her for going her own way, and suffering , existing like a lower class person for a while before making her own money again. At least she now knows how the other half lives, which most that come from money never do, or even care to think about.

[@watney2894]

Grimes has never released this as it's part of her core inner world, I respect that so much. She's so incredible.

[@justahumanhuman6088]

Yes. That was something, life give to u, if you live wild and free and also in humility!>>^^ and at least, do some experimental, Underground Music, to heal yourself and become a senstiv but strong woman with a big heart!^^ love u grimes (Claire Boucher)^^

[@sachalebabe]

No, she just hasn't released officially lots of her music and each time it's for a different reason! One becuas it was a demo made for fans, another cause she thought it was overproduced, another was different style and didn't fit in the album, some are her rare, unreleased music, some too experimental, ect ect...

[@solidkingcobra]

I've been listening to Grimes for about a year now. I can't believe I did not run into this gem. my god this song... it simply just transcends... I can't wait to listen to the real version when it comes out on an album or single. I might shed one single manly tear for it.

I dont think it wil ever get released since its a tribute to her friend who committed suicide and i dont think grimes would wanna profit off of her deceased friend

[@solidkingcobra]

@@marc-andreszandor6124 I think she should release a true studio quality version and 100% of the revenue should go to suicide prevention organizations.

[@vampirewannabe666]

this song helped save my life. reading the lyrics to it back when i was super depr3ssed, 4norexic and extremely sulcidal helped me think ab the pain, the absolute heartbreak and the grief i'd leave all my close mates and relatives with and was definitely one of the reasons that made me reconsider doing it and eventually not. to this day it's one of my favourite songs ever and has got a very special place in my heart. thanks, c.

I listened to this a lot when I was pregnant earlier this year because I loved the song. I had a late miscarriage in March and since that time I haven’t been able to listen to it. I know that this song is about a completely different situation, but something about certain lyrics really resonates with me now.

Most of her songs make me cry ~ and dance. I am 17 years older than the girl, who reminds me so much of myself at her age, filled with music, inspiration~ and HOPE. Now the hope I have left is in our daughter who introduced me to the music girl. I must thumb-up my own comment because when there is no one else wh can, I have me.

[@hoopmooy3543]

From what I gather, she's saying she's roughly 50 years old. I don't understand the confusion. Also, I find it refreshing when someone is out of a fanbase's typical demographic.

[@dancingheart6224]

It's interesting that you find her music fills you with hope. I find that her music is one of the only sounds that allows me to express the angst and sadness I feel about the world as a young adult and, in a way, release any emotions in a cathartic, stimming way via her screams (ex. in her song "SCREAM") and unorthodox beat choices (it doesn't follow common beat rules or formulas) and vocalizations (sometimes she makes growling or gibberish noises that are not traditionally sung in pop songs) at times. It's so amazing that we can find different meanings in her music as fans! I agree that her music has a very youthful sound to it, as I remember her being popular as well 5 years ago when my sister and her classmates were in their 20s and as big of a fan of hers as I am now. There's just something about her music that perfectly captivates the young adult experience, whether you can relate to it because you're a struggling young adult, or because you are reminiscing about the fun experience you had as one.

[@Nightbrrd]

Wow, always thought this was the original until today when I clicked the description and realized it's a fanmade, very impressive. You did a great job! xx

I TOTALLY agree, I just hope she doesn't BURN OUT creatively, she is quite a special human being........

[@speeglebop]

what do u think of her now

[@axelusul]

I am not a zealous fan, but think she is a creative force, demands to be listened to and is "never being boring". I have noticed a recent sea change where both she and Elon seem to believe and after previous serious concerns have reluctantly embraced AI and the augmentation and future integration of high tech to the human condition. Hence her operation on her filtered eye lids, Elon's increasing dissatisfaction with the long term prospects of the Earth environmentally and push into Robotics and moving mankind's future beyond the earth. Both are unconventional and share similar backgrounds and now a child plus a real sense of purpose. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on this planet long term and be in "space colonisation" with all with the help from cutting edge research and engineering. Who would bet against them?, the last two years taken in consideration and Musk's previous track record.

Well I still hope for what she annouced once in the interview: and extended version of AA with unreleased songs which didn't make the cut for such happy album.
