I've been on a Grimes binge since we all went into lockdown. Her music really takes me to another place, a happy place of travels and color and sunshine and dreams and freedom.

[alejandratrejoreveles]

can we appreciate the friendship of HANA in almost every video just being cool and dancing arround? LOVELY

[kmdn]

I moved to Rome when I was a 13 and 14 year old girl. This video is how that experience felt. Blue skies, dried grasses, marble statues, and my best friend and I frolicking all over the city and exploring.

[levilevi]

I get chills when she goes “sweeter than a sugarcane”... how is that chorus so good

[spaceyeti]

As i grew older I lost a lot of my freedom to play and be weird, I let shame and fear of rejection suffocate it. Artists like Grimes has been immensely helpful in bringing me back to who I really am. I thrive when my inputs are from other creative aliens. Must never forget to play and be weird.

[reinlist]

I know Claire can be pretty critical of this album, but Art Angels will always be legitimately perfect for me with zero skippable songs.

[xendedaii]

Why is it so underrated? The chorus is so fire and catchy.

[stephaniegonzalez]

This song is like a form of therapy. It takes sadness, anger and other types of downers, and it twists it completely around, temporarily. The song makes you forget about everything. Grimes really knows how to take care of Humans💜

[britnizta]

This song is single-handedly responsible for keeping me in good spirits during this crazy time. Thank you Grimes for making such beautiful music!

[Camiloquai]

2020 I will officially NEVER going to get tired of this song.

[yohnnyjames]

more people should know about Grimes, her music is life changing

[iamkabuki]

I love your friendship with Hana so much. Super dynamic alien princess duo ✨💖👽💖✨

[joygatewood]

I've entered a new world where the music is new, nothing is familiar, I don't know this land or anything- but I love it here.

"Butterfly"

Big beats, black cloud
Get it wrong, get loud
Write a song, get down
And everyone will know
And everyone will know
And everyone can go

Oh, then, get lost
Take a shit, maybe not
Let's sing good, he's fine
Everything you know
And everyone should go
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I don't know need to know
So, do know you want to?
Am I just right? (Is it just right?)
Can you see the enemy just isn't me?
Oh, it is perfect
It could be anything out there
Butterflies flying in the air

Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for the world

Why don't we get caught?
Quit and sell livestock
Heck, get an old body
Got you moaning slow
And everyone will know
And everyone can go

Big bird, dimming
Wish I could save them
Don't know, no plan
Everyone can go
And nobody can know
And nobody can know

I don't know need to know
So, do you want to?
Am I just (am I just?)
Can you see the enemy just isn't me?
Oh, baby, it is perfect
It could be anything out there
Butterflies flying in the air

Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for wind
To fly away

If you're looking for a dream girl
I'll never be your dream girl
Living in the real world
Looking for a dream girl

Oh, no, it came
Higher than an aeroplane
Don't know this song
Sweeter than a sugar cane
Why you looking for a harmony?
There is harmony in everything
It's a butterfly who waits for the world
To fly away

If you're looking for a dream girl
I'l never be your dream girl

[daisyauraxo]

grimes is pure art and all of her songs are so unique. what would we be without her

[georgezart]

Τhe bridge of this track is one of the thousand proofs that Grimes (except an amazing producer) is a fantastic song writer... I can play the bridge on repeat for hours

[AdrianPL]

Fun fact: In this part 0:35 and in the rest of the video, Grimes uses the Polish flag. Polish fans gave it to her at the end of her performance at Opener Festival 2016 in Poland. She kept it and used it in this music video.

[clarkcam]

this is in my top 3 grimes’ songs honestly. i probably would go so far as to say it’s my favorite of hers. it’s just so catchy and never fails to put me in a better mood with how bubbly it sounds

[SPJBR]

There's something about the sonic quality of this song that feels like love, or ecstasy, or something wonderful.
