Queen of slightly longer versions of songs

In my opinion, this is one of Grimes most divine songs. Makes me feel like I'm floating on a cloud.

Fun fact: Claire's (Grimes' real name) original idea for the title of this track is 'Adore You' (as with the chorus). But she wanted a cooler one and kept thinking for one. Then a friend told her it sounded like 'Idoru': the book by Wiliam Gibson about this A.I. girl or something. Claire, of course, thought it cool. But what's really cool was the book was dedicated to a woman named Claire too! It was the author's wife. So Claire felt like it was a sign from a simulation as she said in an interview and used it as the final title!

This _perfectly_ encapsulates the dreamy, kitschy, butterflies in your stomach, feeling of falling in love. Just raw emotion, rose tinted glasses. Lyrics beautiful aswell. Love this Grimes Era.

Grimes pregnant making a love song with this visuals makes me feel like I’m living in the right time. Beautiful, powerful and meaningful with just her dancing in an empty background.

[ScottishStuey]

This is one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in a long time.

My 60 year old dad loves this song so much. I played it once on a car ride and since then he keeps listening to it over and over again. ❤

This song makes me feel so many emotions, it's so comforting, it's so sad, it's so beautiful.. It's like loving someone, and the beautiful game of love that's still worth playing even though you're gonna lose because you'll always lose each other one way or another with time. No I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face.

"Choose, " I say, as my fingers tremble, "this is who I am." And you, fingers trembling too, understand.
this is MORE than poetry, it's literature mawma

[Sciencegames]

I think the chorus “look, this is who I am; and you understand” perfectly described true love. Grimes is a very strange, unique person, I bet most people have a hard handling that; she doesn’t necessarily like how exclusionary her personality is, but she can’t help it. She knows who she is and she embraces that fact. The person she is singing to, also being uniquely actualized like her, understands that this intense individuality makes it really hard to maintain a steady relationship, and knows that this thing probably won’t last long term. But you love in spite of that, because thats what love is

Grimes out here continuing her work even while pregnant. I appreciate that. Her body and mind is going through so much rn. People having babies amaze me. Hold that sword hunney! You powerful!!!!

[ravenlafleur]

"unrequited love has reassembled me" the best line

[johnmetermaid]

extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world. the definition for ethereal fits perfectly as a description.

[amandat]

this song is the album's equivalent of waking up after your fever has finally broken

[nursepls]

This song feels like falling in love. It encapsulates the feelings of fear, loneliness, and complete adoration and comfort that comes with falling in love. Undoubtedly one of her best songs.

[slentilus]

I'm not lying when I say that I think this is perhaps the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[Iizanya]

the fact that i am alive while this song exists.... is giving me chills.

[jayfume]

Dude i cry every time i hear this song, when she gets to the "your cool" part that beat hits me.

[daniellezsz]

could we get an even slightly longer version

[BBB-tocc]

Playing this at my wedding, the part where she says “even tho we’re gonna lose” reminds of how you promise to be together until death parts you, you’ll die in the end but it’s still worth spending your life together. I watched my father pass away and me, my mom and my fiancé were by his side and he was in a room absolutely full of love - that’s marriage 💖
