The Genesis of GRIMES song Genesis

Показать описание

Grimes Genesis comes out in 2012 but Claire Boucher didn't see it as more than an experiment on stage. In the beginning. Long before Visions the album drops, Grimes is out on tour playing Genesis and adjusting it as the crowds respond she's said at that time she wasn't even perceiving lyrics. I've done this method on tours myself with songs but Genesis is a literal Genesis for Grimes because people are freaking out about how amazing the Visions album is, recorded entirely in Garageband BTW and by April of 2012 she's signing the track live on Jools Holland this same track that took her friends convincing her to keep it on the album to which she's said she thought they were all insane for. Essentially this song was workshopped live in front of audiences in the same way the great vaudeville perfomers worked acts, now we call it beta testing, live and in person on stage. It's a method us songwriters can use to test a songs function outside of our own egos. I'm a professional songwriter by the way. The ego will help you but it can also slow you down which is why balance and awareness are essential. But it was the Video that took Genesis over the top - In the early 2010s the blogosphere determined an artist's success and where now it takes a ten second vertical clip on a doom scroll to build a song, entire careers were launched on the success of a music video and this one she bases around a Hieronomys Bosch painting, The Seven Deadly Sins and The Last Four things. For the digital age, Visions marks the crossing over of Bedroom pop into the mainstream. Comments section, be nice to Grimes she's been through a lot.
