[@putjesusfirst9814]

You are so cool! Thank you for sharing with us :))

[@foto21]

I'm also older, and can't stand 99% of modern music, but my ears perked up a few years back when I heard her first hit. I thought I should've hated it, but I liked. Now, the more I dig, the more I like. Thank God an actual artist made it. She kind of reminds me of Bowie in a weird way. No way am I as much a fan, nor is her music as broad, but she has his free aesthetic to do whatever she wants. At least it's not packaged by a group of bs label runners and producer/agents. The ironic thing about this song is it's really a borderline rock song. The drums and bass are kicking, and there is real (or simulated) guitar in it. It's not some boring overused trap beat, and she's not working in the sh*t vocal lane that so many modern vocalists overuse with the bad rapping and autotune. This is actually very 80s underground, even though modernized. It's because she came from Vancouver, a place with some brains.

[@pecapello]

[@jlenny9666]

'You never liked me anyway' ... so simple, but so heavy? The way Grimes sings it... it's almost like acceptance of the truth in a slightly disregarding tone aka 'I know, I get it, you never liked me properly', but there is still pain in the voice at the same time - and she conveys all of that in five words. Just soooo good.

for those who don't know grimes produced recorded mixed engineered and mastered this song. aka very impressive......

[@korybant8409]

so she says..

[@HellaHipHop]

🎶 babyyyy believeeee meeeeeeeeeeeee 🎶 and you had every chance you destroy everything that you know 🎶 plus the way her body snapped with the beat at 1:19 is a good sign she might have her ears inside a loop for 8 hours a day 😉

[@korybant8409]

Nope, because the beat itself isn't proof of advanced prolonged production. It would've been present in the acoustic guitar draft. There is no real evidence for or against.

[@HellaHipHop]

idk then.. she just too gorgeous anyways so how could she be such an amazing sound engineer. she mustn't have it all. DOWN WITH GRIMES.

[@korybant8409]

It's likely she is naturally talented and chose the complex timbres and textures herself. That is probable. But advanced sound engineering in addition to composition? That's improbable. Possible, but improbable. It's not even a male vs female issue. It would be very difficult for anyone.

So many hipster elitists bitching about the pop sound and I'm just sitting over here like if all pop music sounded like this then I'd be listening to pop all the damn time tbh

Also, I personally got much more of a Marina Diamandis and Chvrches vibe from this more than a Taylor or Avril one... ? (and thank god for that)

[@pidgeon666]

+Jenya March I dunno what Diamandis is (not hipster enough) but yeah, Chvrches is pop unless you're in high school and think pop is only what the preps and jocks like

[@jayandrews3509]

That's kind of ironic considering this sounds like every pop song

[@jenya-was-here]

+L Khokhlakov Marina Diamandis = Marina and the Diamonds Sweetie, I never said that Marina, Chvrches, or even this song wasn't pop. I said that this song reminded me of their sound more than Taylor's or Avril's. *Not all pop sounds the same.*

[@jenya-was-here]

"Sounds like every pop song" makes it seem like your exposure to pop is either very limited, or you simply snob all pop music for the sake of snobbing pop. Pop music is eclectic. This song shares the same identifying core element factors (verse-chorus structure, hooks, etc.), but otherwise it does /not/ sound like most other pop music. Funny enough (and I laugh as I say this next part because of all the indie snobs that scoff at this song), it sounds like indie-pop, because it clearly is borrowing from post-punk sounds, is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free, and aside from the two other artists that I mentioned earlier (Marina and the Diamonds and Chvrches), I cannot think of any other popular artist with this specific take on pop. So, yeah. This does NOT sound like "every pop song". Please open your ears.

[@johnwinston1289]

“It’s nice that you say you like me, but only conditionally.” Years later and this song still has me singing and dancing in a non-violent rage

Why do so many people think creating a pop song is "selling out"? The only way to sell out in music is to create lazy shit that misses its mark. This is the opposite of that. This is ambitious and addictive music, with aching, subtly hauting lyrics that reach out universally: in short, pop music at its best. And like all music at its best, this is HARD to pull off so well. This is like a sugary confection that's been burnt with a cigarette lighter, just at the edges. Listen closer. There's a darkness at the heart of this. If all contemporary pop sounded this good, I'd still be a mainstream radio listener.

*ok for all the people complaining about her becoming mainstream and selling out etc:* just because her music is sounding of more like generic pop on mainstream radio doesn't mean she sold out?? (well she's always been a pop artist tho) if you pay attention to grimes, you would know that she loves all kinds of music, she doesn't give a fuck if the music is mainstream or not. she's very open about loving artists like lil wayne, nicki, madonna , selena etc to "good music" like tame impala, joanna newsom, the national to virtually unknown artists like st beauty and moon king. why do people dislike artists when they "sound mainstream"? david bowie was basically a mainstream artist, does that mean he's a sellout?? grimes wrote, produced like all of her work, she is one of most genuine, open minded artists out there, give her a break. honestly, if she re-did visions i bet y'all would complain about how she's the same and you wanted more from her etc etc like honestly she is an actual person, she isn't born to be your "indie goddess", she isn't making music to make you cool and different, she will not change what she desires in her music to suit your stupid standards (i.e not a sellout, sellouts do whatever to please the audience right??? bc thats how u make mo money???) stop nagging and let her be, you all need to get over yourselves smh

I've had my fair share of failed relationships, one ended recently, and to listen to this gives me strength, it's a song about letting go of any toxic person who used to try and control your life. But "I don't care anymore". Thank you from my aching heart that still heals, Grimes. It means the world to me and I can't get enough of it.

For any Grimes fans who are watching this video. Claire (Grimes) wrote this song to Grimes. She became frustrated with the persona she created and they were on bad terms for awhile. They made up and this song is the end result. It's a beautiful depiction of how we all battle with our own ego at times.

I believe the "angel" is named Ivy, and she was supposed to be the oldest of all the personas. One's a gamer-girl, she's the most modern and youngest. And the "princess" you're talking about is actually supposed to mimic Marie Antoinette. If I recall correctly, Claire (Grimes) actually stated the setting behind this was to go back in time and kill that Marie character. I'm assuming the other characters were incarnations of Ivy, but that's a guess. Interesting, none the less!

honestly when I first listened to her new singles I was like "what the fuck is she doing? these are just pop songs" and I thought she was regressing as an artist because her older stuff was so new and fresh sounding. But honestly, after listening to these songs more than once I was wrong. These songs are so solid and the problem was that I had put her in a box and just expected more of what she's already done. There's still a whole bunch of good reference points in her music like always, she's just producing music in a more accessible way.

Её песни открывают второе дыхание, причём настоящее, не на словах, такое чистое пение без манер о котором так давно мечтал , среди всей этой помойки которая льётся ото всюду , в том числе и от музыкального мира. Благодаря Граймс у меня создаётся ощущение что я всё ещё существую, этот отдельный мир такой другой, но такой уютный и уникальный, свой. Обожаю её за смелость быть собой - это безумная редкость, потому что все кто сейчас на сцене только лишь делают вид, что делают то что они хотят, на самом деле это жалкие копии друг друга , и существуют они на этих копиях только для того чтобы заработать бабла. А Граймс одна среди всех демонстрирует свой внутренний мир через эту музыку, и отчётливо видно как это сделано НЕ фальшиво, а по настоящему и с душой. Вообще очень сложно писать коменты на её музыке - не хватит слов чтобы описать любовь к этой чистоте в её музыке, для меня она совершенна, она со своим я, со своим уникальным видением, я обожаю таких личностей, которые прут против всех , делая чистоту, которая идёт изнутри
