at first i wasn't sure about her music but as i started to listen to her more and more i sort of became addicted to her music.

[CyraEmm]

I feel like she looked exactly like this coming up with this song, sitting on her bedroom floor with a bunch of instruments and fancy toys and creating beautiful madness.

[deloreanized]

This is, by far, her best song. It has a heart. It feels true.

[ShootsDenBrah]

she freehand holds the mics in a xy pattern for added echo and "distanced" vocal effect. genius.

[stevesteversen]

She's so into her own weirdness here, and it's guaranteed smiles. 

[MrEddy]

She's feeling her music, beautiful.

[alehandrahashipompi]

Imagine being X Æ A-12 and Grimes sings you to sleep this 😌

[eminemisthegoat]

Grimes actually writes, produces, mixes all her own songs. A true artist. Yet I see a bunch of boomers saying she sucks in comments on her videos just because she married Elon.

Grimes is a true artist who deserves so much credit for her remarkable talent.

[nomad]

It's crazy she made that song in her apartment. Like its weird to see a song like this performed so unfiltered and up close. Goes to show, if you know how to use your gear and how to write a song. It's possible to create art at a level that the masses can enjoy and resonate with.

[luismarques]

Self taught electronic musician, doing everything, Beautifull voice and sounds, to me that’s art 👍

[justine]

i checked her out a few weeks ago, thought she was too weird for me, got this song stuck in my head for like a day, checked out more of her music, now I listen to all of her music on repeat all day everyday. love her insight on certain topics and I feel like she's one of those artists who puts so much effort into their work. shes different and it's so refreshing!

[jemvan]

This so therapeutic. Don't even know what shes saying but it is so relaxing and de-stressing. Dark room, headphones heavy bass for best effect.Thank you Grimes!

[eido]

This is one of the most unique live performances I’ve ever heard

[nqkoi]

How can someone be so talented, pretty, creative, pure and intelligent. God I love everything she does.

[SuperMiley]

she likes to put her voice singing in reverse as an outro everytime its live

[caligura]

Brings me back this, I always preferred the black keys on a keyboard when I was a kid I also thought they sounded oriental.

[RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

It seems so natural to her. I don't think she's trying to sell a cettain image- that's just her. I don't even think she's trying to push anything in people's faces- she's just using her creative energies and making something fun. Or that's what I think.

[missfatcat]

I have no idea what the fuck she's saying, but I love it. She sounds like a water nymph. X

[sameddington]

Especially in the second half, there's something almost shamanic about this performance.

[majorafae]

Watching her perform is so mesmerizing
