      🎶 babyyyy believeeee meeeeeeeeeeeee 🎶 and you had every chance you destroy everything that you know 🎶
      plus the way her body snapped with the beat at 1:19 is a good sign she might have her ears inside a loop for 8 hours a day 😉

    • @korybant8409
      @korybant8409 7 лет назад +39

      Nope, because the beat itself isn't proof of advanced prolonged production. It would've been present in the acoustic guitar draft.
      There is no real evidence for or against.

    • @korybant8409
      @korybant8409 7 лет назад +89

      It's likely she is naturally talented and chose the complex timbres and textures herself. That is probable.
      But advanced sound engineering in addition to composition? That's improbable. Possible, but improbable.
      It's not even a male vs female issue. It would be very difficult for anyone.

      I'm also older, and can't stand 99% of modern music, but my ears perked up a few years back when I heard her first hit. I thought I should've hated it, but I liked. Now, the more I dig, the more I like. Thank God an actual artist made it. She kind of reminds me of Bowie in a weird way. No way am I as much a fan, nor is her music as broad, but she has his free aesthetic to do whatever she wants. At least it's not packaged by a group of bs label runners and producer/agents.
      The ironic thing about this song is it's really a borderline rock song. The drums and bass are kicking, and there is real (or simulated) guitar in it. It's not some boring overused trap beat, and she's not working in the sh*t vocal lane that so many modern vocalists overuse with the bad rapping and autotune. This is actually very 80s underground, even though modernized. It's because she came from Vancouver, a place with some brains.

    • @jenya-was-here
      @jenya-was-here 8 лет назад +10

      "Sounds like every pop song" makes it seem like your exposure to pop is either very limited, or you simply snob all pop music for the sake of snobbing pop. Pop music is eclectic. This song shares the same identifying core element factors (verse-chorus structure, hooks, etc.), but otherwise it does /not/ sound like most other pop music. Funny enough (and I laugh as I say this next part because of all the indie snobs that scoff at this song), it sounds like indie-pop, because it clearly is borrowing from post-punk sounds, is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free, and aside from the two other artists that I mentioned earlier (Marina and the Diamonds and Chvrches), I cannot think of any other popular artist with this specific take on pop. So, yeah. This does NOT sound like "every pop song". Please open your ears.

      I believe the "angel" is named Ivy, and she was supposed to be the oldest of all the personas. One's a gamer-girl, she's the most modern and youngest. And the "princess" you're talking about is actually supposed to mimic Marie Antoinette. If I recall correctly, Claire (Grimes) actually stated the setting behind this was to go back in time and kill that Marie character. I'm assuming the other characters were incarnations of Ivy, but that's a guess. Interesting, none the less!

    (Now you'll never know)
    Baby, believe me
    And you had every chance
    You destroy everything that you know (that you know)
    (Uncontrollable)
    If you don't need me
    Just let me go
    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh
    Ey, ey, sing along, baby
    Then your heart beats on this sad song
    Underground, underneath me
    And the big things we could've had
    Ey, ey, oh no
    (Then your heart beats underground now)
    (Now you'll never know)
    Baby, believe me

    *Life in the Vivid Dream* 4:39
    I could live in the world just like a stranger
    I could tell you the truth or a lie
    I could tell you that people are good in the end
    But why, why would I?
    Angels will cry when it's raining
    Tears that are no longer clean
    What do you mean?
    What do you mean, it's all gone?
    I've waited here so long
    Bye to the people
    They, they do nothing
    Now that you're missing something
    You wanna leave the world with me

    Why do so many people think creating a pop song is "selling out"? The only way to sell out in music is to create lazy shit that misses its mark. This is the opposite of that. This is ambitious and addictive music, with aching, subtly hauting lyrics that reach out universally: in short, pop music at its best. And like all music at its best, this is HARD to pull off so well. This is like a sugary confection that's been burnt with a cigarette lighter, just at the edges. Listen closer. There's a darkness at the heart of this. If all contemporary pop sounded this good, I'd still be a mainstream radio listener.

    This song was written for the so-called fans who mercilessly bullied her after she released music that they deemed too mainstream. They called her a sell-out for incorporating more pop-driven music direction--but her melodic electronic music has always been pop-influenced, so toxic hipsters just don't like to see a successful female artist. They want to keep her to themselves as this "undervalued genius" but the moment her talent gets any air, it threatens the toxic hipster's notion of intellectual superiority. I love to see my favorite underground artists gain success because I want to share the music I love with the world and how exciting is it when a song you love comes on in the supermarket? It brightens your day!

Helps to have some very good VST plugins that can realistically reproduce instruments, as well as some VSTs to manipulate those with various effects. And you can always mix in sounds with old analog guitar pedals. Lots of possibilities. Just have to tinker around a lot, and find that exact effect you have in mind.

      The "parenthetical" line that follows "And now I don't care anymore" is not a repeat of that line but "You're unloveable". That's what I hear, anyway.
      As for the part at 2:59, that's *really* hard. I don't blame you for not even trying. :-)
      Here's a rough approximation [my notes in brackets]:
      Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh
      Ay, ay, oh, oh / Stumble out backward, down, baby [last word very speculative!]
      And your heart played its sad song [but last 2 words look like "so so" in the lip-sync]
      On the ground, underneath me
      And the with-you dream can hurt
      Ay, ay [but 2nd word in lip-sync looks like "aif"]
      Oh, no
      And your heart gave me up though / You're unlovable

      First, this song has nothing to do with techno... Second, this is a new wave-ish electro-pop song and literally any song from Siouxsie and The Banshees, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc. (just to name a few) are better than this. Ps: I'm not a hater, Grimes is actually one of my favorite singers and I love her. Miss Anthropocene is gonna be (propably) one of the best albums of the year.

    Её песни открывают второе дыхание, причём настоящее, не на словах, такое чистое пение без манер о котором так давно мечтал , среди всей этой помойки которая льётся ото всюду , в том числе и от музыкального мира.
    Благодаря Граймс у меня создаётся ощущение что я всё ещё существую, этот отдельный мир такой другой, но такой уютный и уникальный, свой. Обожаю её за смелость быть собой - это безумная редкость, потому что все кто сейчас на сцене только лишь делают вид, что делают то что они хотят, на самом деле это жалкие копии друг друга , и существуют они на этих копиях только для того чтобы заработать бабла. А Граймс одна среди всех демонстрирует свой внутренний мир через эту музыку, и отчётливо видно как это сделано НЕ фальшиво, а по настоящему и с душой.
    Вообще очень сложно писать коменты на её музыке - не хватит слов чтобы описать любовь к этой чистоте в её музыке, для меня она совершенна, она со своим я, со своим уникальным видением, я обожаю таких личностей, которые прут против всех , делая чистоту, которая идёт изнутри

    Grimes is incredible. She’s brilliant. I deem the genre of this song Dream Pop as the music & the video really do make you feel like you’re in a dream, another realm that is joyous & surreal. She’s for sure an artist too as she hates much of her older music. Artists are always extremely hard on themselves. I experience that same self-disparagement as a writer & film photographer. I’ve won many awards & had galleries showings for my photography, selling my prints for a significant amount of money too (anywhere from $100-400 per print, depending on if it’s framed too), yet I still tear apart anything & everything I’ve created, more so with my writing & poetry in particular, though I’ve moved to prose primarily now. (to be continued…)

    • @a.evelyn5498

      I’m also an academic, with an undergraduate degree from Columbia University & a graduate degree in Anthropology from there as well, & I’m pursuing a PhD in Anthropology next. I’m a straight A student & praised for my writing in regard to my academic work, but I, again, tear it all apart & often feel embarrassed & ashamed about my work in spite of all the success I’ve had at university, let alone attending a prestigious university twice this far, with a very good chance of attending a prestigious university for my PhD as well. I would love to stay at Columbia, but they prefer for students to have experiences at different universities & it’s already a great feat that I was accepted twice in a row, as well as having been accepted to the university’s Teachers College in between, though choosing to pursue Anthropology instead. So really I was accepted thrice in a row, which is very much unheard of as, again, these top universities prefer not only for students to have different experiences at different universities but they also like to mix it up with the students they accept. I actually wasn’t accepted to the two other graduate programs to which I applied along with Columbia, both other schools in NYC (The New School & Hunter College). The acceptance rates are much higher at those universities & although very good schools, they are not considered as the same caliber as Columbia. Ultimately I felt like a failure, like I only was accepted to Columbia as I had connections there & two professors from there - & the third with multiple graduate degrees from there - wrote my recommendations for the graduate program, so I felt that those recommendations & connections were the only reasons I was accepted. I felt like an imposter (Imposter Syndrome in which one feels like one doesn’t belong, far less worthy & valuable - if at all - from those around one), from which I suffered during undergraduate as well. I’m extremely grateful that I was accepted, & I believe I’ve proved my capabilities being that I have a 4.0 GPA & I am often praised by my professors, some of whom I’ve grown quite close to, one of whom I’ve been very close with since undergraduate, so ten years ago (as I’m thirty now & I began taking courses with her at 20, & she took me under her wing & became not only a mentor to me but also an incredibly supportive & uplifting figure in my life & she’s agreed - having already assumed - that she’ll be writing one of my recommendations for the PhD. I only have a semester left for the graduate program, but after only one semester, I had acquired the other two recommendations (three required) for the PhD program. Needless to say, I have many people - especially such revered professors with tenure - in my corner & yet I am EXTREMELY hard on myself & often don’t feel good enough whatsoever, leading me to spiral into severe depressive episodes. At times, I even become s*c*d*l… as I have such little faith in myself particularly during those times of profound melancholia, of course. I want to believe in myself & assure myself that I can do something *great as that’s been my dream since I was very young, elementary school age- greatness but I doubt myself all the time to the point that I feel as if it’ll destroy me, that my mind & mental health is sabotaging me. I just rambled way too much, & no one will ever read this. (to be continued, again…)

    • @a.evelyn5498
      @a.evelyn5498 Год назад +1

      Yet I want to say this: Grimes is such an inspiration as no matter how much she doubts herself, she keeps creating no matter what, following her passions no matter how she feels or down she becomes & in spite of all the suffering she’s had to endure, in particular the loss of multiple friends in a short span of time, just several years I believe,. I’ve had MANY losses too with almost all of them not being natural - instead via h*m*cide, s*cide, overdoses, illness, car accident, etc. - with the first at only five years old, affecting me profoundly even though I was so young - & the most recent one only two years ago. Many people whom I’ve lost were those I loved *most in the world… family members with whom I was closest within my external family & the only boy I ever loved who died in my arms, with these losses (three family members from h*micide all at once & then that boy almost exactly ten years apart, with only a month in difference)… I let these losses destroy me for many years, my Complex PTSD & mental health issues ruling my life, rendering me unable to truly live. It’s taken A LOT of intensive trauma therapy (EMDR) to begin to heal. I don’t believe you ever get over such trauma; you just learn to live with the pain & find happiness in spite of it. My metaphor for life is that it’s like a river of sh*t & there are stones that allow you to cross the river. Those stones are happiness & it’s those moments of happiness that keep you going. If you are seeking “happiness” via euphoria instead (addictive behavior like dr*g use or the thrill from other self-harmful behaviors) then the stones are made of sand & will crumble beneath your feet. The moments of happiness are indeed fleeting; the small moments that light up one’s eyes with stars, & yet they make life not only survivable but livable & imbued with a sense of genuine hope in spite of all the suffering that is inevitable to life itself, originating with the very pain that is consciousness itself (ask Frankenstein’s monster about what it means to suddenly be thrust into consciousness & having to think & feel so very profoundly, without an end to it except when it’s dulled via such euphoria, false happiness. Anyway I’m still ranting even though I said I’d write only one last thing. This really is the end. I just want to thank Grimes (or Claire) one last time for being part of creating those moments of happiness, in which one indeed dances freely as if no one is watching.

But even if you think about it from the sexist perspective, she isn't even just like a singer who gets people to write her songs or cowrites them and then has someone produce her music and then have a stylist team come up with her whole aesthetic. She producers her own music BY HERSELF. She writes her music BY HERSELF. She has her OWN AESTHETIC SHE CREATED. She directed edited wrote styled and did the art direction for a music video she literally did everything herself on. No one is giving the Weeknd shit for going pop.

      Marco Lopes I've been listening to Grimes for a bit, this song literally goes against everything that made her unique. Not only that, but the music video perfectly reflects the demographic this album is going after. The spirit of Grimes isn't a genre or sound, it was a uniqueness that her music had from other Indie Pop and Synth Pop musicians. There is not a single thing that makes this song unique besides her slathering her vocals in more reverb than others. She clearly threw away anything that gave her production personality. She has always changed album to album, but this change isn't just a sound change, it's her throwing all that made her who she was musically away.
