It sounded like a basic love song then when you said learning to love you less caught me off guard and I fell in love with every thought and note put into the song
I love how its less of a breakup song and more of a self realization that you're better off being alone than being in a relationship that isn't willing to adjust or compromise.
It’s not a kind of mainstream song like cherrywine, clementine or others but it’s still pure and shiny gold, it’s like a closure to one of the most important chapters in your life, like the moment you let go and that’s what makes it such a great song(at least for me lol)
This song reminds me of remembering the good moments you had with that special someone, your grieving and holding onto the moments you spent together, hoping for them not to fall out of your hand but you slowly soon realize those moments you had won’t happen with that special person again.
Maybe I'm learning to love you less You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue As the cinders feel on memories of you But I'm okay now I've finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now And I'm on my way out to Paradise There's a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up" I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise But I'm okay now (but I'm okay) I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out) My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now Close 'em for now And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise) There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting) Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind) Now the absence of you set me free And I'm on my way out to Paradise To a world that's away waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free Now the absence of you set me free Oh, the absence of you set me free Oh, oh Oh, oh
she storied this song after we broke, we talked, said goodbyes. she moved on and is now with someone she deserves, I still love her, I do but I wish her the best. I'm glad she's finally happy now. She moved on but I'm still healing, I thank her for introducing me this masterpiece. Thank you Q, I love u.
She came to mind.. 💞 One of my biggest regret in life is losing a female who dearly loved me. We were young. It all started in 7th grade when she complimented me and told me my cologne smelt good. And from there on from 7th through 9th grade she showed/gave me so much love and compassion. The truest love and compassion I’ve ever felt till this day. She was so caring, loving, and pure. The way she could light up a whole room was the best thing about her. The way she’d put smiles on my face without even trying. She’d do so much for me and all I really did was have a few moments with her. I remember helping her out with carrying her stuff when she was in crutches. How I’d buy her treats out of love but failed to ever give her a hug even when she leaned in for one. How she’d throw her leg up onto me. I won’t forget the time she asked me to check out if her eyes matched her shoes only to trick me into checking her out. I’ll always remember when I was standing on a stool and she came up behind me and held my arm up as if we were reenacting the Titanic scene. Her and I had our good moments. But I failed her. I failed to show/give her the love she deserved. She was hurting and I didn’t do anything but stand by and watch her go through the hurt she was enduring because of my lack of love towards her. I regret that, I really do. I never even got the chance to apologize to her. If I could go back in time and change how things turned out I would. But maybe things really do happen for a reason. Maybe one day I’ll be able to apologize and give her the love she’s always deserved. The love I’ve always had for her but never knew how to express. I love her just as much as she loved me. Only difference was I struggled with showing her affection. I’ve always been the quiet kid at school and having a popular female like her all of a sudden just falling for me was unexpected and surprising. I owned up to my mistakes and take fault in making her feel the way she did. She’s the most affectionate person I’ve ever come across and she deserves the same affection and attention back and now looking back at my decisions as a kid I would love to have the opportunity to make up for what I did to her unintentionally. As partners or as friends it would be nice. I’ll always have a soft spot for you in my heart Maddy Rose Meyer. Unloving someone is the hardest thing to do. Its been a few years and I still miss her. I’ve never had love like the love she gave me and it’s hard to forget and move on from how loving, caring, and sweet she was to me. I’ll forever love you and cherish our little moments we had Maddy Rose Meyer.
Mannn same here... at first i was confused and angry,.. the self reflection and realization came later. I kinda regret being angry after it cuz i think i could've fixed everything. Well too late now she has a new one while im still here relapsing every night
I was kinda thinking about what him constantly holding the teacup meant, and I had a feeling that it meant that he never really let go from the relationship he had with her, still (literally) holding onto they feelings and memories he spent with her. I think the cup helps with the lyrics too, he’s trying to tell himself everything is okay and that her absence is for the better, when in reality he never really left the relationship and rather stayed and constantly reminisced about what he used to have. It was a great video but I overanalysed the hell out of it
Hey I just found you today and I am absolutely obsessed with this song. It’s so wholesome and has a….healing feeling to it. I’m glad your on Spotify cause I’m working right now and I’m just gonna put this on repeat
I accidentally found this song while I'm browsing here on RUclips, and guess what? It is now my favorite. I also played it multiple times. 🥺❤ you never fail to amaze me grent🥺❤
whenever it gets hard i put on this song. it really brings forth the thoughts that are true. as much as i might feel other things this is what's real. pulls me out of my down in the dumps feelings and really just clears my mind.
man you helped me get through some really tough times. not only that you're bringing back bossa nova and jazz and its crazy how good you are i've been obsessed w your music for a little more than a year.
The feeling of slowly but surely learning to accept things as they are as much as you wish they were the opposite because you’ve done your best and nothing can change the situation since it takes two. From time to time you find yourself slipping back into that space where you miss them and want to reach out to them to try just one more time but you force yourself not to as much as it hurts you all for the best. When you dream about them randomly and all the memories come flooding back in and you’re back to getting yourself out of that space where you once worked so hard to get out of.
Not sure you’ll see this. But thank you for this song. It’s been helping me move on. Every sentence deeply resonated with me. This became not only a song for her to say goodbye. But a song for me to realize that after mourning over her, there’s more I have look forward too. So, thank you.
I want to sincerely say, thank you for this song. I found your song by random on Spotify and it has helped me so much. I’ve been going through a separation not long ago that has weighed on me, but finding your song has helped me come to term with it and process it. You may never read this, but you are an amazing artist and just know that your music has helped with one person in this world. Thank you!
This song was recommended to me by a guy I am currently (used to be “madly”) inlove right now. We are not in an official relationship but we care deeply for each other (maybe this is what they call ‘mutual understanding’ ?) He is always so far and always sets his boundaries because of his part traumas. Now I somehow feel like I understand him more because of this song’s lyrics. On how he was left and how he moved on and why he is putting his barriers because for him now, he still has a lot to discover in this world than just being in a relationship. I have been very understanding and compromising. I am just happy that he gets his own time. I am happy with that. I just hope he steps out of his comfort zone too and realizes that I am here ❤
This is such a beautiful music video, and this song makes me feel so good all over. Please know that you are doing amazing and you deserve all the love.
been a long time listener for a few years, now and every new song brings my soul so much warmth and comfort. i hope you become really big one day grent, then maybe i can see a live show in canada when you do a world tour 😭 until then, keep being golden and sharing your gift
This song is exactly what I’ve been feeling like lately, listening to this during class while drawing things that reminded me of her is definitely a core memory to remember , ty
Hey Grent! I've always loved listening to your music and covers especially this song ever since you first uploaded it 9 months ago and really hoped you would release an official audio, and now look where you are. So proud of you, Grent. Thank you for these amazing compositions. I also enjoyed the overall vibes of the music video. I hope you'd make a karaoke for this song too soon. Good job dude and keep it up! :)) Much love from the Philippines.
I'm pretty sure I heard this on the radio. I immediately recognized your voice but hadn't heard the song yet. So excited that you're moving to bigger things!
This song made me tear up because it reminded me of Sam and Julie's relationship. The struggles they went through before deciding to let go of each other for their own good. Anyway, this is a lovely song! I would recommend it to my friends, especially my bookworm friends. 📖: You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao (note: prepare a roll of tissue before reading this book XD)
I love this song. Legit a soft "moving on" song. It's been on repeat since yesterday so cool. Appreciation to cinematography and location of the set. Where is it btw? But anyway, BRAVO 👏 hats off to you grent 😊
Ik it was like a week or two back but congrats on having 1 mil plus monthly listeners on Spotify. Been here since you’ve have like 50,000 listeners and I am really seriously proud of you.
when i first heard this song when it came out i couldn't relate to it at all, but now i can really feel the lyrics and it makes me cry. im never gonna fall in love again
What came to mind when you first heard Absence Of You?
Listen to the track HERE ☆ !!
→ beacons.ai/grentperez
I felt sad to be honest. Shits tough
I got so many butterflies omg ur voice is so pretty
Her 😞
my bestfriend.
It sounded like a basic love song then when you said learning to love you less caught me off guard and I fell in love with every thought and note put into the song
this song is feels like that reassuring hug you need after finally coming to terms with what was, has been and that it's your turn to let go
Your comment made the hug warmer
Indeed
♥️
and you made it even warmer ❤
You couldn't have said it better
you’ll get big one day grent. I really hope you do, your voice is like candy and your lyrics freaking hurt. Hard to find such talent nowadays.
One day? Dude has half a million subscribers I'd say he's pretty successful
@@markusang I know lmao. By big I mean like the big names in the industry. Cuz he has the potential and talent.
The next Passion
I completely agree
@@markusang yes, I agree it's rare to see things like this nowadays
I love how its less of a breakup song and more of a self realization that you're better off being alone than being in a relationship that isn't willing to adjust or compromise.
I love how grent was just our little secret and now really having all the recognition he deserve
Dasurv
Fr tho 🥲🥰 like I want to share him but also want to keep him for myself
@@annnachang this couldn't get more relatable
right after he started singing, I went like :
"yup, definitely going into my daily playlist, 100%"
It’s not a kind of mainstream song like cherrywine, clementine or others but it’s still pure and shiny gold, it’s like a closure to one of the most important chapters in your life, like the moment you let go and that’s what makes it such a great song(at least for me lol)
Trueeeeee
“But I’m okay now.” AS YOU SHOULD BE KING. You’re amazing
Bye this is gonna be AMAZINGGG!! Grent never disappoints
This song reminds me of remembering the good moments you had with that special someone, your grieving and holding onto the moments you spent together, hoping for them not to fall out of your hand but you slowly soon realize those moments you had won’t happen with that special person again.
Damn it sucks 😢
prime example, great way of saying it
Maybe I'm learning to love you less
You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue
As the cinders feel on memories of you
But I'm okay now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone
Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up"
I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine
If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise
But I'm okay now (but I'm okay)
I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out)
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
Close 'em for now
And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise)
There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting)
Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind)
Now the absence of you set me free
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
To a world that's away waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
Now the absence of you set me free
Oh, the absence of you set me free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
she storied this song after we broke, we talked, said goodbyes. she moved on and is now with someone she deserves, I still love her, I do but I wish her the best. I'm glad she's finally happy now. She moved on but I'm still healing, I thank her for introducing me this masterpiece. Thank you Q, I love u.
i love grent's style so much, can't wait to see how grent will grow in the future!
BRUH THIS IS SO STUNNING. THE CONCEPT. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. THE MUSIC. THE VOCALS. THE VIBES. 🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨✨✨✨

And actually, how you do going?

I love how every song released by Grant, resonates with how I feel in that particular moment. Thank you so much for creating such masterpieces!!!
