3 years ago I read the greatest comment ever on this video:
“This song makes me want to vacuum my front lawn”
But I can no longer find the original post. Thank you unknown user.
I've been scrolling for about 10 minutes trying to find it GODDAMN RUclips is trash
🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO. It was probably Elon
I found it! Refresh sort the comments by newest first.
I totally remember that comment.
absolutely love when the guy at 0:35 realises they're filming and she motions for him to go past, it's just so wholesome
I wonder if that guy has any clue he's a small but memorable part of a music video with 50 million views
it proves you don't need professional things to make a good song
Oml that's so wholesome bro-
Pamela Hills RIGHT? so precious
Pamela Hills & the fact that he goes along with the video 😝
the fact that this song is about her assault experience but in the music video she's at a mainly male dominated space, dancing and being surrounded by men sends a message of hope and rebirth, fighting your own fears and taking control of your life again
Yes and also it's like her statement "see you on a dark night" is directed to the men around her, the one's playing with her, the one's dancing with her, the one's she walks by, any of these men could be predators, she shows that it's not random evil people who commit assault but brothers, dads, people who's relatives would defend them and call them fun loving.
According to stats, depending where she is, there's a 9/10 probability it was a Hispanic or Bravo Mike. FtM transgenders have been shocked at how threatening men can be toward one another. It's a dimension not seen by women, and statistically violent assault on men is more common than strangers sexually assaulting women.
She is probably the most overrated musician in all of history.

This song gives me nostalgia for something I never experienced, that’s art.
Nostalgia? Are you sure you don't mean PTSD?
Vincent Lopez
No, nostalgia. I’m referring to the production and sound of the song not the message behind it.
@@NanoDelMar
I'm not sure I understand, you feel as if you have produced or heard the song before?
Vincent Lopez
It makes me feel as if I lived in the 80s and remember a memory of my early childhood but I wasn’t born in the 80s so that’s why I said it gives me nostalgia for something I never experienced. I know the song is about sexual assault but the sound and style of it reminds me of the 80s.

"The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening. I took a typically violent cultural situation and made it pop and happy."

2:52 is such a beautiful moment in the video given the subject matter. As she comes into clash with the physical strength of males during the mosh and the beat picks up as she swallowed into it, you can see her smile with abandon and roll with the punches, it’s like she is fully through being reborn from her experiences in that moment. Totally mesmerizing and cannot stop replaying it. So liberating.

self made? isn't every artist coming up the same way?
Yep, sometimes all you need is genius-level talent, confidence, and probably a little bit of luck.
Arguably the best song she ever made. Is not overproduced , is honest, simple, from another time and another life.
And it's timeless
This clip is a masterclass. She just does he stuff, doesn’t get embarassed by other people looking weirdly at her or disturbing her - the way we all wish to live our live. Doing our own stuff and Not let anyone or fear stopping us 🔥
I was paying attention to that the whole time in the video.
I love how she lets that guy pass in the middle of the recording of her music video and he actually end up in the actual music video
Gotta love the unexpected
It's sort of bizarre how that worked so well for what she was trying to do in the music video, which was portray men in a goofy, comical way to help her/other victims see masculinity beyond sexual abuse.
Also she's Canadian, so u know...she's nice.
@@RowanBuchananroabie was that really her intention?
A J Yup
@@RowanBuchananroabie my question was really dumb but thanks for humouring it. It seems like a strange premise because the portrayal of men as goofy functions to disarm women's intuition in dangerous situations. I want to reach a point where I can understand this intention so thanks for bringing it up. It's given me some direction.
Those people probably would have never thought that silly girl walking around recording herself with a boom box while lip syncing would go to make the second best song of the DECADE

I never walk about after dark
It's my point of view
'Cause someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you
Always coming and you'd never have a clue
I never look behind all the time
I will wait forever
Always looking straight
Thinking, counting all the hours you wait
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
And no, I'm not a jerk
I would ask if you could help me out
It's hard to understand
'Cause when you're running by yourself
It's hard to find someone to hold your hand
You know it's good to be tough like me
But I will wait forever
I need someone else
To look into my eyes and tell me
"Girl, you know you've got to watch your health"

Absolute my favorite Grimes song and video! I love all her live versions of this song but this one ranks in my top 3 of hers. I encountered her music at a weird time during the pandemic and it got me through so much with her dancing and her musical talent. It still puts such a smile to my face when I hear this song years later.
Grimes explained the song's true meaning: "The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening.

This song is about a violent encounter with a male and her fear of men after, her fear of being alone but the need to be for protection. Im thankful for her music especially this album helped me get through something similar. I think she stated this album was her least favorite. I disagree because this album saved my life and helped me in so many ways a few years ago, i listened everyday after i moved to a new town and felt so alone and vulnerable, and her music matched the energy i needed to feel in synch with the world, it helped me feel safe doing ordinary things without the anxiety of pasts pain. She is a gift and i hope she never forgets when she made this art and her heart in this time. Thank you grimes for existing, you helped so many without knowing, i wish i could say thank you in person. Stay safe and strong

Looking back, its like we had no idea what a masterpiece this actually was.
Great song obviously, but just a great concept for a video. Very unexpected. I love the natural interaction of Grimes and the people and how they kept those moment in the final cut.
For those who don’t know, Grimes wrote this song because she was so afraid and paranoid to walk around in the dark by herself as she was afraid of getting attacked or followed because that happened to her before. She never wanted to go outside because of the paranoia and she was constantly looking behind her back; listen to the song again with this idea in your head. It’s sad that such a well known loved song has such a sad back story :( WE LOVE YOU GRIMES

I've only now realized how interesting this music video is with the songs context. Knowing she was assaulted and that this song is about feeling unsafe at night, afraid of being attacked (presumably by a man) this music video feel like confronting masculinity (as almost all of the strangers shown are men of different ages and all the shows/activities are generally considered masculine). It feels like a video of trying to almost shock therapy yourself by surrounding yourself with what scares you (like men in general after one attacks you) and learning to be comfortable in that space, both interacting with them and just as someone who happens to be existing in that same space.
Edit:
I have been receiving comments on this regularly for the last 3 years. They entertain me to no end. And they also make me sad.
To fellow victims: you are not alone. I hope you find peace from what has happened.
To the trollz: keep trolling. They make me laugh.
To the hurt men defending themselves or calling me a feminist (like that's a bad thing?) or that I'm saying all men bad or whatever:
1. I never said masculinity is a bad thing. I dont believe that. It is just as important as femininity.
2. I hope that someday you realize that you truly have no idea what it's like to be a woman. That you never will. That you see women being stay at home moms (which isnt easy but youll probably never be a sahd so how would you ever know) or famous streamers or only fans girls raking in money and you think we are privileged. That feminism has given us more power than men and that our lives are easier now than yours.
There is nothing further from the truth. And as long as we suffer, we will speak on it. If you don't like it, close the page or help us.
Art can be interpreted in any which way you like. It can mean multiple things at once. This is a fun song to dance to so i don't blame people for not wanting to assign a dark meaning. Don't! For many this is just a dance song. But don't hate on those of us that identify with a darker meaning :). Neither of us are wrong
Adriana h brilliant perspective!!
Glad you shared this, I see what you’re talking about. Now I understand the music video/song a little better
True! I'm a sexual assault survivor.. happened to me several times living in two big cities.. maybe 3 serious instances.. though, most of my friends are male. What do ya know- they aren't all bad.. 😂🖤 (But, do be aware of the red flags men AND WOMEN can give off. And be aware of your surroundings, always.🖤🖤)
@@lowresolutionlilly799 Good men do exist. There are men in this world who'd like to beat rapists until they stop moving. But no one can tell them from the others. You just have to trust your instincts. If something seems off, it probably is. Better to vaguely insult a decent guy than put yourself in harm's way. Is a sad fact.
Nah. You're overthinking man. Lol. This video is about killing time and waiting for the aliens to come and get you.
I didn't even know this song was about being assaulted. Ive been listening to it to cope with being assaulted for the past year.
So i grew up listening to rap and rock but holy shit grimes is literally on a whole different level, and for this song to be so old is crazy cause she really is a generational talent, this chick deserves way more fame than she currently has
Why does EVERY song with any analog synth sound ALWAYS has the "this makes me feel nostalgia for something I've never experienced" comment?

Just every song pretty much. Even Say So by Doja Cat has "this makes me nostalgic for the summer I never had" or some bullshit as the top comment. I cant stand it (those comments not Say So).

Good God, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I think I've commented here before that it has gang bang vibes. I'm guessing you just saw the story of grimes too.
@@philipdolan954 Where does Grimes speak out about it?
The story of Grimes, a RUclips video just out.
she stated in an interview that she was assaulted, and this song was kind of her way of coping with the situation. She said she spent years paranoid and frightened, and finally opted to make a song that kind of subverts her assault -- it kind of fingers the line of sounding like SHE'S the one stalking someone at night and also being stalked.
The first half of the song is very narrative -- walking around at night, musing about how she can just walk up to the man and snap his neck. Sort of a reversal of power. But then, she talks about how -she- fearfully walks, staring straight ahead, fighting the urge to glance behind her, etc. However, this is still sung in sort of an ambiguous way, like she's commenting on the man she follows glancing at her, and she's staring straight ahead, focused on him. Finally, the "See you on a dark night" is pretty literal but still ambiguous, both the statement of the stalker and the stalked -- they know they'll see each other on a dark night. It's both helpless and powerful, to fit both roles.
The second half is when it seems to turn to self-reflection and her fear of men. She mentions her aloneness and how it's hard to have a relationship with a man again, she can't find someone to hold her hand. But, she doesn't enjoy her fear, and she really just wants someone to give her the kick she needs to grow out of it; to look into her eyes and tell her everything is okay ("la la la la la~")

I like her approach to life. Turn something traumatic and dark into something cozy and fun. It's revenge to the people who assaulted her, but in a productive way instead of bringing other people down. The most mature way to deal with trauma

This song is currently blowing up on tiktok right now and all I can say is GOOD!! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR GRIMES!!!
I love people like you who dont gatekeep songs and are happy more people get to experience good music
Yeah she is really talented and deserves more recognition tik tok just ruins a lot of good songs.
@CyannJay ignorance isn't disrespectful, educate them instead of being hateful
Aubree Ever since I heard this from tiktok I fell in love with it
Aubree yikes i hate that it’s on tiktok now
I love the vulnerability of this performance, going to a public places where her style of music is not valued, baring it all. I find it refreshing and I respect her for it.
I mean, there's at least one Grimes fan somewhere in that audience... somewhere...
@@MrKinglydude forget that one fan she has over 40million from this video... insane😯
how is a football stadium a place where her style of music is not valued
brea.
Do football fans strike you as general fans of indie electronica?
This is the song I play whenever I need to lock in
I am only just hearing this now 11+ years later and I definitely get why it's so popular.
why?
@@toshibaedits because it sounds good.
she may of named her kid weirdly, but you gotta give her credit. this is good.
What’s the name
@@heypca9018 Pick a couple special characters and add a few 1's and 2's and you've got it
@@heypca9018 X Æ A-Xii I think it is
If you can understand her. waste of time looking her up to see what she does😂
@@Ruzovy_ i heard it was named by elon musks favorite plane
I'm impressed that she really said "I got assaulted by a man and therefore I will make a pop song with a video featuring mostly buff, half naked men" Like, that's a power move if I've ever seen one. I feel like it's sort of saying, you took my power and feeling of safety away for a long time but now I got it back bitch.
I mean, you never really "get it back", that shit stays with you eternally. But it can be a way to cope.
And I think it’s a way of saying, to herself and everyone else, the vast majority of men aren’t monsters. The whole video features masculine men, athletes and dirt bike racers and bodybuilders, and yet they’re all friendly and she has positive interactions with them. It’s very wholesome even in the light of the underlying meaning.
@@_Cato_ it's also a bit deeper than that. there was a streaker who was male and a young boy at the end engaging in the arousal of the sport at a young age. it also goes to show how men are still allowed to do these things, and the ideas of what men should and can do still exist today, even after her trauma. She is surrounded by it and chooses to embrace herself and not let one man ruin her ability to live
@@_Cato_ yeah I totally agree, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a song with quite the same message.
love that for her
such a catchy addicting beat...and chill/happy at the same time.
When this came out I didn’t think this would be as big as it is now. Wow, time is wild.
I take the song and video as Grimes reclaiming her experience. She turns her paranoia from previous experiences with men into empowerment. Rather than seeing masculinity as something to be afraid of, she attends all these “manly” events and champions it. She overcomes a traumatizing event by putting herself within an environment that portrays masculinity in a more silly, rather than fearsome way. It’s inspiring.
huh this makes me now regret my comment. I guess its about art in the end. thank you
@@TheBeanstalk5000 ye lol
It's also more broadly about how you fit into normal mainstream society when your tastes are eclectic and you're a weirdo more or less. Sometimes you can feel like a surreal ghost, which is what's portrayed in this video with her "strange" song at the most mainstream of events: a football game. As a guy I don't really relate to the women being afraid of men aspect of the song, but I absolutely pull the meaning of feeling isolated and alien
and that is why she is with elon musk hahaha
Oh wow that is so interesting
Yall, this might sound stupid, but I just realized Grimes sings this song. Like, the Grimes that just had a baby with Elon Musk. I looked her up because I saw she was a singer and I was wondering what type of music she sings. Only to realize I've been vibing to her the entire time. 🤦🏽♀️
Bish same 😂😳
@@adelinatal5211 haha, great I'm not alone
Im here because of a meme and didn't know shes related to him at all
she doesn't like the word "singer" to define her, she actually produces and engineer her song, but she sings it too
Literally same
This is the type of song id blast at 3 am with the windows down driving fast at night
How have I not heard this song?? It’s awesome
This song resonated with me before I even knew the lyrics. I was beat up by 5 men in the street earlier this year, and the ptsd honestly almost drove me insane. I'm better now, but the fact that I instinctively knew what this song was about, even without context, is a testament to Grime's genius
I hope you're alright
hope you're better now x
Hope you're ok
Where?? Omg what did they look lile
So sorry that happened to you. Virtual hugs.
The “see you on a dark night” actually has a double meaning, first referring to the fact that she was assaulted on a dark night and she will see ‘them’ there, but the other meaning is that she will see them on a dark night meaning at night time in her dreams, well nightmares, it’s clever.
Ohhh interesting i never thought about the dream one !!
On another note i cannot stop listening to this daily
@@krystalriley10 Yeah it is and grimes herself confirmed that it’s true.
And same aha, always on repeat.
i guess lyrics can mean anything if u try hard enough
@@dylanlee5701 she literally said that’s what the lyrics mean
I miss her so much. Rip grimes🙏🏽
