Grimes pushes her talents 'really hard'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 мар 2012
- She's only 24, but already releasing her third album Visions: Claire Boucher a.k.a. Grimes. With a sense of irony, the Canadian musician admits that she's 'pretty good at faking'. She says she doesn't know that much about music at all. "I just push the things I'm naturally good at really hard, but if I would play as a back-up musician in someone else's band, I would totally fuck it up for everybody."

People keep saying "she can't sing" when it hardly matters. First of all, her voice IS pleasant, and second of all, it's clearly more about the artistry/creativity for her than for expressing her talents. Art can be used as a medium for expression, and in many cases technical competence (especially when it's not accompanied by creativity/originality) can only get you so far...
Exactly! If only vocal sounds mattered in music what would be the point in instruments? I am a classically trained flautist, and learning an instrument is just as hard as it is putting together different sounds to make one song. Kind of like an orchestra. I agree I don't think she has the best voice in the world, but I think her music is very well thought out and she clearly has a talent.
thank you, Spongebob8102
spot on! Guy made a jingle for out new product and the drums are so aggressive. Overall someone may listen think it's super professional sounding etc, but it's so out of scope for what we do ... anyhow...
I like it when someone is honest, humble, sincere, and not trying to impress everyone. Like Grimes here.
sadly she's changed :(
@@weirdo66636 How?
weirdo how?
@@weirdo66636 any specific example? i think she's still the same, just got more confident and that's not bad at all
@@heenim true! She's just over to that 'impostor syndrome kinda vibe. She's owning both herself & her works now.
It's really cool for me to watch this video right now. I feel like recently I've come to the same realization that she had: "anyone could do this". That is, whereas before I was conditioned to view music and art as something that other, more talented people did, now I'm realizing that one of the really cool things about music is that anyone can take part. Becoming a well-recieved popular artist is more challenging of course, but creating art is its own reward, and its best to focus on that.
"meh, I can do this, so I just did it" XD
She is an honest creative artist with a brilliant soul, and beautiful!!
Her lisp is adorable
There's no wrong way to create ✌️
Man....the Oblivion video(and song) is just excellent! Seeing that video in the spring of 2013 was my introduction to her genius.
I love her personal aesthetic....it's _so_ specific, yet so incredibly diverse and eclectic. She seems to curate a visual/sonic universe from whatever happens to be in her environment at that moment...and somehow makes it all cohesive and sensible.
I love how whimsical and free her creative process is. She doesn't overthink shit...she just goes for what feels right. And it works.
you don't need to fake nothing, you are real and true.
Opposite to the usual comment (I'm just 10 and I love this old stuff etc...) I'm a 46 year old who found Grimes because someone said "this sorta music is still made by Grimes" on an OMD video. I am now a Grimes fan!
Shes my inspiration
stuprint182 grats
She's one of my many inspirations, definitely one of the most influential. The Nightmusic song & video inspired me to do some art (computer edited photography) it was really witchy and ethereal, kinda dark, mystical and reminded me of ancient druids in a forest. Other inspirations include FKA twigs, Fever Ray, Björk, Jónsi, Dawn Richard, Alice Glass, Purity Ring, Crystal Castles, Brooke Candy, Charli XCX etc. I think this is the most disdain I've ever had for mainstream music & I'm very thankful for lesser known, underground, alt artists, mainly in the alternative / EDM / art-pop genre, that are finally starting to gain the recognition they deserve.
Sameeee she inspired me to create music (so far most of it i probably won't release im still learning my technique)
I love her lisp. So much so endearing about her.
Idk if fake is the right word. She might not know the musical theory/technical elements, but she feels it and goes off of that. To me, that's more genuine.
*To you, having passion for music and actually respecting and mastering one's craft is less genuine than just throwing things together until you have something that sounds like music? Mmkay.*
It's ok pal, don't be so down.
@@uui219 Yes actually. How do you have to master instruments to have respect for people who do too? If the music is good, it's good. 😘
@@uui219 + why would you want it that hard if you could just loop like she does, it sounds great 👍 We have technology for something
2016 and i still watch this
me too, hi my name is David and i'm a grimesoholic
+Gray beast or best? :D
Tereza Častová beast ;)
2018
Why does the year you're watching this, matter?
Was is strange to still be a fan of hers 2 years ago or something...?
I mean, it's hardly an accomplishment, unless you're a superficial chart follow who only likes the latest and most current, mainstream artists. I like her, regardless of whether she's at her "peak" of being considered "trendy".
"I'm really bad at sitting in a classroom and learning but I'm really good at learning in life." F E L T Shout out to all the other kids who were always in detention in school as well...
the bug on the wall to left of her really adds so much flavor
she didn't say anyone can make great music, she said anyone can make music, which is undeniably true
I feel like the name of the video is a little bit misleading...
lol...yeah. The air quotes around "really hard" almost comes off as sarcastic lol....
yeah like she didn't even say that directly lol
Shes absolutely adorable. Love your music Claire.
When i first heard her song Oblivion i thought she was saying in the chorus: "See You On The Dark Net"... Lolz!!!.. 😂✌😉
lol
@@LizaLavolta 😂
Music isn't about how good someone is with an instrument or how talented or how artistic (even though all of these co-exist). Music is a melody that simply sounds good to you
what a great comment
Grimes is like a mango.
She is delicious.
is a boy
Waitwhat
i love this
Kevin Janok nope, she is a woman.
As soon as someone told me it’s music if it repeats itself it all clicked for me too.
First I thought she was a Rube Goldberg Music Making Machine; but after (insert "blah, blah, blah") and exposure to her, I now see a self actualized woman with a genius for mastering her own gifts. What's she's done in music, she's also done is style, fashion and beauty. If you can see it, take the lesson.
Deedee Whipple she is magick
its beautiful to see someone succeed while theyre expressing themselves and having fun. anyone could of done it, but they didnt
By "faking it" I know that she just meant intuition. Intuition is the best. I love you grimes 💖
o no her lisp is so so cute
She has this cuteness to her that makes you wan't to give her the biggest hug ever. Like I just have this urge to hug her.
"Anyone could do this"
if they can xD
she may be saying more than you think. grimes may just be a front person while all along somebody behind the scene is writing and producing the music, it happens all the time. Do you think selena gomez, Arianna grande, taylor swift actually make their own music? the buy those beats from someone and all their voices are autotuned.. not saying grimes is doing that but she could be just a figure head. by anyone can do this she might mean anybody can have others make music for you and that anyone can do.
John Brown Chill, she already said that she produces and writes her songs by herself. And her songs aren't that complex maybe, they just have very unique and interesting sounds to begin with and that makes huge difference from other kinda "general" pop/electro/edm music.
The whole essence of music is the creative aspects of it. Any logic behind music discredits the emotion, creativity, and passion. Art should cease to be technical, we leave that for the robots, we shall aim to celebrate the spirit/emotion/god aspect within us all to experience art!
+Stellar Fervour Knowledge in music theory, is seen as a technicality, so I partly disagree. Some technical music can be some of the most interesting, as long as the musician or musicians push the boundaries and don't try to play it safe.
the technique is needed in order to provide the tools for expression - after that, up to the artist how to use the tools
Best interview I've seen of her thanks
nah i haven't but will do thanks shes awsome
agreed and i thought I saw them all
She is being humble, not knowing she might be the greatest female artist of our time.
In art you don't need to be good to be brilliant
She has a nice brain! Beautiful music!
I love her energy. It radiates in such a way that you want to be able to resonate with it.
2017 and i still watch this
Good video. Was so enthralled during her Filter show I didn't even snap a pic.
I can certainly relate to what she's saying about her breakthrough regarding making music.
For me, it's not about music, but it relates to just about anything you pursue in life. There is a moment of intuition that allows you to go beyond anything you thought possible.
Such a talent, i love all her music!
She embodies all things I love. I asked a question in my mind and the answer was her.
2020 and i love her
i thought there was a bug crawling on my screen at 0:33 but it was the video
I love her so much!
Her music makes me shiver.
so inspiring
SHE'S SO AMAZING
She is so beautiful
She's gorgeous and that lisp is super cute. Great song too.
I'd like to hear her songs in the background of a movie because its very ethereal and subconciously relaxing.
i rly relate to what she says. before music softwares were widely available recording and writing music did seem like something only trained musicians could do.
shes stellar.
Thnx!
.
.
.
.honesty
.BRILLIANT
She has talent and beatiy to attract my attention
I'm with you brother
love love love
Aaah I just agree so much with everything that comes out of her mouth. Anyone who thinks she isn't a great musician does not understand what it is to be creative.
whoa. im going through that same revelation right now.
Thank you
Im also really good at learning
From life.
Holy shit, Grimes being totally natural, without any mask here
i've watched this so many times lol
Algun alma hermosa podría POR FAVOR traducir al español este tipo de vídeos en los que Grimes habla. Sucede que se me escapa la mitad de lo que dice y me quiero matar..
Its funny, because after I listened to her and saw her play live once I knew right away that she knew nothing about music. That isnt a bad thing, It has been the exact same thing with myself and music. I no nothing about making it, but give me a keyboard and and I have been able to make around hundreds of songs right off the bat. I don't love grimes, but she somewhat has been inspiring me to actually take the chance with music that I have never pulled myself into actually committing to.
fav
Hahaha 2:30, that awesome feeling when you're like, "wait, I can loop that!?'
Natural born singer 😘😘
That lisp gnarly
"I just fake it" LUL Grimes
LOVE YOU
I love her lisp...she is my new muse. LOL
legend
I just realized... at 3:19 all the way to the left... is that Grimes's boyfriend at the time? Devon Welsh?
She really digs molly!!!
shes modest gosh....shes so totally aspergers lol. shes soooo adorable. i want to eat her up. shes genuine and doesnt give a shit.....gotta give her props and plus, her music is nothing like ANYTHING else out right now. so no, nobody else could just "do" what shes doing.
She reminds me of the girl Jordan from the movie Real Genius
kudos for the reference
she says, sheesh, how do my fingers miss entire words when i am typing.
she had no idea how good she was.
She said "Anyone could do this".
Like me I learn more outside the class and that iscrazy it sounds crazy too but your so right grimes love your energy lol 💋
she said it in an interview that I saw on youtube. she knows a lot of people think she's cute, but she doesn't relate to the word and tries her best to not look cute :P
Except you used four 'dots' the second time. Genius.
1:44 Matt from yes theory .... you’re welcome 😅
she is talented and cute!
Genius
so damn adorable...
I want, no, I will marry her
SHE'S MINE
Ok, Elon!
BEST.
Kelmire 1 those mannerisms are probably an effect of anxiety if anything so saying I have anxiety & anxiety symptoms in other people annoy me sounds pretty stupid. I've been diagnosed with severe social anxiety and those annoying little additions that fill the air space are one of the reasons I hate being around people so much.. Its embarrassing and it doesn't mean that your any less intelligent it just means your less well able to communicate eloquently.
error: this is a website, not your diary...
jkk, go for it!
Take her advice kids, be good at one thing only. It's the path to success. I divided my skills between, game design, 3D modeling, drawing and programming. I have no job, money or girlfriend.
A queen among slackers
love her, shes being honest and not trying to fool herself. The music is simplistic at best, with lots of layers, and not really very good but if people like it thats all that counts, shes creating art and thats something subjective, getting as many fans as she has shows people like what shes doing. I just wish these people would also listen to some well crafted music, Seems every generation of listeners seems to be going backwards. In terms of being a singer lets call a spade a spade she is terrible but all the reverb creates something pleasant and angelic. There is an old saying in the biz about reverb units, it goes can you dial me in some more talent... enuff said she is an artist and striving for that and thats good enough for me.
Don Alder Acoustic Guitarist Your comment is such a back-handed compliment . It is basically her music sucks and she can't sing but at least she's honest about it. At the end of the day it is all about good songs for me. I don't really care about the method because I am not some jealous/jaded/failed musician or some music snob. She puts a lot emotion and creativity into her music and if you cant tell than that sucks for you. She is a little too humble in interviews at times but make no mistake about it she is extremely talented.
Chris Rudolph
well your putting words in my mouth and then insulting me that Im a failed musician, so what is failure popularity ? dude its all subjective and Im allowed an opinion and instead of complimenting her, what do you care about what I like or not, I complimented her, shes following her heart as an artist. I admire that, doesnt mean I have to like her music. Your lash out can be viewed as what rabid fans do. If youre not then dont act like it just pay her a bigger compliment.
+Random Username
what is interesting is that rebuttals usually come from Anonymous IDs put a real name and face to yourself and I will gladly enter a polite debate or discussion in regards to your comment. But at this point your nobody just anonymous. So be brave and lets chat. People that have real opinions and will stand by them and willing to discuss then have a real identity or they dont get a say, thats what being anonymous is, voiceless. but I guess you would probably rebuttal that as well.
+Don Alder Acoustic Guitarist Don't kid yourself. It is the Internet man. Your acting like this is a discussion in a coffee shop. I don't have an avatar therefore your opinion must be more valid. That guy was actually being polite in respectfully disagreeing. Listen to her new album and let me know how simple it is.
+Chris Rudolph I completely agree with you and Random Username. The girl's having fun, so let her do what she does 'cause it's good. Basically every review on "Art Angels" mentions how simple the record sounds at first, but if you listen to it for multiple times, you can actually hear a whole universe of various sounds. That's Grimes's trick - her songs seem to be rather uncomplicated because of their structure and easily remembered melodies and choruses (definition of what exactly is a chorus in the majority of her songs is also another matter to discuss), but once you give them a profound listen, you begin to see the complexity of her work, plus no one should ever ignore her other talents. Besides, I don't even recall her ever saying "I'm a good musician/singer/artist/illustrator", like, she knows it herself she's not the best, allright. Her music isn't even suited or designed to be liked by everybody.
She's a genius.
Me too :D
Yeah, she rocks! She was apparently studying neuroscience while in school :o
goddess in tha flesh... threw pixels
its so 90´s
the way she oprates is ''post-modern''
This is me in my life lool
does she rly need to say anything? shes doing some amazing music
