I am so late to this party but Im glad regardless that I found my way to Grimes

[micheljulien]

She said in an interview that she had never done a country song but always wanted to do one for fun. That's probably the closest she'll ever get to a country song with this one... and it's awesome of course.

I always liked this song because it cheered me up. At some point I began thinking about the lyrics and realized how absolutely amazing they are! How Grimes takes the situation that's supposedly the worst scenario, "the belly of the beast", and transforms it into something really amazing! "We cut out their eyes and we dance like angels do... We never get sad and we never get sick and we never get weak, we're deep in the belly of the beat..." we're deep in the belly of all the amazing music... How incredible is that?! In this song Grimes prooved to me how great she really is and how she wants to make people's lives better.

I love this crazy, quirky, brilliant, talented girl who isn't afraid to be herself.

[KingSKRILby]

This is one of the most visually pleasing music videos I've ever seen. The dance of bold colours and lucid movements against dramatic, natural terrain - the movement against stillness that makes you want to focus on the dancer and the world behind them. It's true beauty.

Man Grimes is the first artist I wanna binge listen to Her songs give me such good vibes like none other

OMG i can't believe this....The montain on the clip is 10 km away from my house (Les Rochers de Nayes in Switzerland).

Who else can say they've followed this creative genius since Geidi Primes/Halfaxa? This Queen has been pouring her soul out for us for over a decade now!

[makeupbyjoyce]

I found this song when I was pregnant with my daughter and so extremely sick I couldn’t get out of bed. This song got me through a hard time and it will always bring tears to my eyes. So beautiful and powerful

[imaletyoufinishh]

It's heartbreaking how underrated she is but don't say it's too late, she's gonna be remembered as a genius so ahead of time

[rabiashakoor]

This is such an amazing tribute to Kate Bush! Not just the video but the vocals and the production. It's uncanny how she gets some of Kate's vocal eccentricities almost exactly. Grimes is a genius!

THIS WOMAN. Freshest breath of air. -*New Grimes superfan*

[soundpilatesandyoga]

I'm late to the Grimes party as well and now all her songs are stuck in my head on repeat. This week my favorite it is Belly of the Beat and Butterfly. It's funny too bc the songs of hers I heard and didn't catch my attention at first are now the songs I'm obsessed with and can't stop listening to.

[nujman]

i only discovered her recently, and I can't put into words just how much of a life changing experience her sound has been for me. i love you grimes 👽

[ruben]

One of the top rated comments in Delete Forever was something like "Grimes invented space country and I was there to witness it", I thought that was fitting for this song as well

[radiumangel]

grimes is truly one of a kind. Someone might come along and create music of similar sounds but she’s just magic, always will make me feel happy and magical myself when I listen to her.

[sporkazmable]

As a very sad, very sick, very weak person, this song holds a Bitter Sweet Melancholy Joy for me that makes me long for strong, healthy, happy days far off in the past and future, hopefully. Love you Goth Enya 💚🔥🖤

[saurabhjaiswal]

From start to end this album is so beautifully crafted, unimaginable production and vision that's Grimes at her best

[dakotalee]

I think it's no coincidence I stumbled across this after two days of listening to Wuthering Heights on repeat.

[MeLiSsA-]

shes one of the best producers of all times and her vocals are other worldly, perfection.
