What came to mind when you first heard Absence Of You?

Listen to the track HERE ☆ !!

[suhunny]

you’ll get big one day grent. I really hope you do, your voice is like candy and your lyrics freaking hurt. Hard to find such talent nowadays.

[kyoshcee]

this song is feels like that reassuring hug you need after finally coming to terms with what was, has been and that it's your turn to let go

[malangjhubert]

I love how its less of a breakup song and more of a self realization that you're better off being alone than being in a relationship that isn't willing to adjust or compromise.

[markchua]

I love how grent was just our little secret and now really having all the recognition he deserve

[maryamjackson]

right after he started singing, I went like :
"yup, definitely going into my daily playlist, 100%"

[_LB]

Maybe I'm learning to love you less
You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue
As the cinders feel on memories of you
But I'm okay now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone
Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up"
I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine
If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise
But I'm okay now (but I'm okay)
I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out)
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
Close 'em for now
And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise)
There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting)
Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind)
Now the absence of you set me free
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
To a world that's away waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
Now the absence of you set me free
Oh, the absence of you set me free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

It’s not a kind of mainstream song like cherrywine, clementine or others but it’s still pure and shiny gold, it’s like a closure to one of the most important chapters in your life, like the moment you let go and that’s what makes it such a great song(at least for me lol)

[jemmyjemstone]

“But I’m okay now.” AS YOU SHOULD BE KING. You’re amazing

[Kai]

This song reminds me of remembering the good moments you had with that special someone, your grieving and holding onto the moments you spent together, hoping for them not to fall out of your hand but you slowly soon realize those moments you had won’t happen with that special person again.

[shantays]

Bye this is gonna be AMAZINGGG!! Grent never disappoints

[LuisCortez-rttr]

she storied this song after we broke, we talked, said goodbyes. she moved on and is now with someone she deserves, I still love her, I do but I wish her the best. I'm glad she's finally happy now. She moved on but I'm still healing, I thank her for introducing me this masterpiece. Thank you Q, I love u.

[lianara]

She came to mind.. 💞

One of my biggest regret in life is losing a female who dearly loved me. We were young. It all started in 7th grade when she complimented me and told me my cologne smelt good. And from there on from 7th through 9th grade she showed/gave me so much love and compassion. The truest love and compassion I’ve ever felt till this day. She was so caring, loving, and pure. The way she could light up a whole room was the best thing about her. The way she’d put smiles on my face without even trying. She’d do so much for me and all I really did was have a few moments with her. I remember helping her out with carrying her stuff when she was in crutches. How I’d buy her treats out of love but failed to ever give her a hug even when she leaned in for one. How she’d throw her leg up onto me. I won’t forget the time she asked me to check out if her eyes matched her shoes only to trick me into checking her out. I’ll always remember when I was standing on a stool and she came up behind me and held my arm up as if we were reenacting the Titanic scene. Her and I had our good moments. But I failed her. I failed to show/give her the love she deserved. She was hurting and I didn’t do anything but stand by and watch her go through the hurt she was enduring because of my lack of love towards her. I regret that, I really do. I never even got the chance to apologize to her. If I could go back in time and change how things turned out I would. But maybe things really do happen for a reason. Maybe one day I’ll be able to apologize and give her the love she’s always deserved. The love I’ve always had for her but never knew how to express.

I love her just as much as she loved me. Only difference was I struggled with showing her affection. I’ve always been the quiet kid at school and having a popular female like her all of a sudden just falling for me was unexpected and surprising. I owned up to my mistakes and take fault in making her feel the way she did. She’s the most affectionate person I’ve ever come across and she deserves the same affection and attention back and now looking back at my decisions as a kid I would love to have the opportunity to make up for what I did to her unintentionally. As partners or as friends it would be nice. I’ll always have a soft spot for you in my heart Maddy Rose Meyer.

Unloving someone is the hardest thing to do. Its been a few years and I still miss her. I’ve never had love like the love she gave me and it’s hard to forget and move on from how loving, caring, and sweet she was to me. I’ll forever love you and cherish our little moments we had Maddy Rose Meyer.

I was kinda thinking about what him constantly holding the teacup meant, and I had a feeling that it meant that he never really let go from the relationship he had with her, still (literally) holding onto they feelings and memories he spent with her. I think the cup helps with the lyrics too, he’s trying to tell himself everything is okay and that her absence is for the better, when in reality he never really left the relationship and rather stayed and constantly reminisced about what he used to have. It was a great video but I overanalysed the hell out of it

[johnley.youtube]
