I want this Grimes back 😭

[@SyvernSycor]

By far, even to this day, this is probably my favorite performance of hers.

[@weirdo66636]

damn didn't know i could fall in love with a version of someone from 8 years ago

[@adamalonzo4184]

yeah

[@Ryanlovestobake]

You’re not alone. I’ve seen almost all your comments on all her old vids. 😉

[@landoncube769]

Elon turned her into a space martian

[@RandomPersonVEVO]

I've been stuck on Grimes like drugs for two months now. I've in all honestly, never heard such a heavenly voice. This song when she performs it live, almost sounds like a siren drawing me into my own headset, forcing me into a mesmerizing rest as she sings. In a nutshell, Grimes is love, Grimes is life.

[@ImaZaphod]

I try and try to make you cry and make you love me Oh I would say yes, oh I would say ye-e-es The need to be the best before the need to rest Oh I would say yes, oh I would say ye-e-es See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I walk on (won't go) See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o To make the pain defuse the flame can be trying Oh I would say yes, Oh I would say ye-e-es So as you fade away your life I lay dying And I would sa-a-ay yes, Oh I would say yes Mmmm-mm See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o-o-o I don't know what she says at the end of this but it sounds heavenly. It almost sounds like she's repeating herself but drawing it out. ♥

[@deadringer333]

Thank u, was wondering what the lyrics were :)

[@caseywilliam3083]

i think the end is her getting shit ready for the next song

[@dongambino5308]

Ligeia Siren current joys makes a version and it’s pretty clear what they say lyrically speaking

[@caesarlol1]

I love this version

[@seansibley9371]

This is the original

[@weirdo66636]

i wanna be like her. she’s an absolute genius

[@stevegallagher5554]

Grimes is the most talented and unique artist around today. She is also incredibly adorable.

[@weirdo66636]

she actually said she doesnt like being called adorable

[@tammyisenmann4152]

True!!!

[@orangutank626]

Bro has a crush on grimes 😂😂

[@elizabethbuchanan2179]

If I ever get married again I want this song in the wedding somehow

[@solidkingcobra]

I think it's worth it to divorce and remarry so you can play this song at your wedding.

[@weirdo66636]

damn i’m aromantic but i’m gonna get married just for this song hehe

[@zasddsaf]

I'm completely in love with Visions right now

[@Vimyro]

One of the best live radio session I ever saw, pure sound and so authentic setting and Grimes also astonishing, only a flawless sound and pleasant vibes.

[@briellerutledge8340]

I once took a nap with my Grimes playlist on and this song sunk into a dream with bombs, gunfire and anarchy in the streets of Barcelona. It was horrifying and I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was even more beautiful and moving. I finally saw her live at Sasquatch this year and it changed my life.

[@daddycigarette]

If you ever have heard the current joys version, the song starts with something of that sort idk. I dont even know if you'll even see this... God it's been 7 years since you commented this.

[@rabbitsandcarrots]

Wow...she pumps new blood into the song and completely transforms it live. Those are the markings of a talented musician.

[@weirdo66636]

these performances of her are my favourites 🥺 she’s so real and cute i love her

[@Lani012]

Just found out about this artist yesterday and have been listening to all her songs here on youtube. I have yet to hear one that I don't like. What a phenomenal talent she is. Wow!

[@Sacredmia]

I swear grimes is so addicting I love her to an oblivion

[@rypendragon999]

I love this song she is blessed by god this is my fav song it really is a deep song if you understand it it's her trying to save a soul.

[@Amaterasu_990]

My fave Grimes album ~ ~ Love

[@Spootythefoozler]

Claire Elizabeth Boucher is my favorite artist. I first heard her music as a filler between segments of an NPR program I was listening to while I was driving from the company I was assigned to, back to my apartment when I was stationed on Fort Stewart, in the state of Georgia back in 2016. I looked up that song, which was Genesis, and then when I found Grimes' music I instantly fell in love. I'm no longer in the army but her music became quickly a very passionately loved part of my love for music in general. I am happy that I also had a chance, since I have lived in the state of Washington since 2017, that I visited KEXP and got the opportunity to feel a sense of full circle connection.

[@blackwarb]

Voice of an unearthly bird. beautiful.

[@weirdo66636]

[@ham7240]

I try and try to make you cry And make you love me Oh I would say yes Oh I would say yes The need to be the best before the need to rest Oh I would say yes Oh I would say yes See, my wait is you My wait is you My wait is you My wait is you My wait (To be in a dark side, be in a deep mind) See, my wait is you My wait is you My wait is you My wait is you My wait (To be in a dark side, be in a deep mind) To make the pain defuse the flame can be trying But I would say yes, oh I would say yes So as you fade away alive, I lay dying Oh I would say yes Oh I would say!

Ella es taaaaaaaaaaan genial :c hasta hice un trabajo sobre ella en clases y obtuve la nota máxima

[@aaronmanuelsalascortes433]

De que trataba tu trabajo ?

[@nairobigonzalez8679]

Aaron Manuel Salas Cortès Tenía que exponer sobre un artista, entonces la elegí a ella. Y tuve que decir su trayectoria musical. su estilo de música, los instrumentos que utilizaba, etc. Así como desglosar su música.

[@gordonfreeman6497]

Si es muy experimental y suena bien

[@eddieace345]

What makes her special is the amount of layers and details she puts into her craft. Totally different sounds but The Album Leaf is also a good listen, especially live

[@worldprincess888]

absolutely incredible.

The second half of this song reminds me heavily of Hunter, as well as something else I can't place. The Bjork comparison is very understandable to me.

No. No it isn't.

What a joke of a comment. Mozart would vomit if he heard this.

A simple beat with a simple melody and layered simple vocals. Hahaha not even close to Mozart. I do like it though.
