I've been stuck on Grimes like drugs for two months now. I've in all honestly, never heard such a heavenly voice. This song when she performs it live, almost sounds like a siren drawing me into my own headset, forcing me into a mesmerizing rest as she sings.

In a nutshell, Grimes is love, Grimes is life.

[SyvernSycor]

By far, even to this day, this is probably my favorite performance of hers.

" I try, I try, to make you cry, and make you love me. Oh, I would say yes. "

damn didn't know i could fall in love with a version of someone from 8 years ago

[McCoy]

Haunting. Beautiful. I love her. And I think she's a musical genius.

[ImaZaphod]

I try and try to make you cry and make you love me
Oh I would say yes, oh I would say ye-e-es
The need to be the best before the need to rest
Oh I would say yes, oh I would say ye-e-es
See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I walk on (won't go)
See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o 

To make the pain defuse the flame can be trying
Oh I would say yes, Oh I would say ye-e-es
So as you fade away your life I lay dying
And I would sa-a-ay yes, Oh I would say yes
Mmmm-mm
See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o
See my wait is you, my wait is you, my wait is you and I won't go-o-o-o

I don't know what she says at the end of this but it sounds heavenly. It almost sounds like she's repeating herself but drawing it out. ♥

I once took a nap with my Grimes playlist on and this song sunk into a dream with bombs, gunfire and anarchy in the streets of Barcelona. It was horrifying and I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was even more beautiful and moving.

I finally saw her live at Sasquatch this year and it changed my life.

Grimes is the most talented and unique artist around today. She is also incredibly adorable.

One of the best live radio session I ever saw, pure sound and so authentic setting and Grimes also astonishing, only a flawless sound and pleasant vibes.

Wow...she pumps new blood into the song and completely transforms it live. Those are the markings of a talented musician.

[guitaria]

[Lani]

Just found out about this artist yesterday and have been listening to all her songs here on youtube. I have yet to hear one that I don't like. What a phenomenal talent she is. Wow!

Claire Elizabeth Boucher is my favorite artist. I first heard her music as a filler between segments of an NPR program I was listening to while I was driving from the company I was assigned to, back to my apartment when I was stationed on Fort Stewart, in the state of Georgia back in 2016. I looked up that song, which was Genesis, and then when I found Grimes' music I instantly fell in love. I'm no longer in the army but her music became quickly a very passionately loved part of my love for music in general. I am happy that I also had a chance, since I have lived in the state of Washington since 2017, that I visited KEXP and got the opportunity to feel a sense of full circle connection.
