      @@rednax3333 I remember when I discovered John Grant (around the release of Pale Green Ghosts), I was blown away by the music, his voice, the lyrics and his looks. I was obsessed with Green Ghosts & Queen of Denmark. and played the albums daily (sometimes multiple times a day). In those days I regularly woke up in the morning with one of his songs on my mind & that I was humming Caramel or Vietnam as I was making the coffee.
      Now -years later- I still like & listen to John Grant (His 2018 album Love is magic is one of my favourite albums from last year. John Grant belongs to that select group of musicians that have a special place in my heart, together with Kate Bush, Tori Amos, David Bowie & Regina Spektor.

    One of the most poignant, heart-wrenching, beautiful songs I've ever heard. I wish John Grant had been around to sing it to my 17-year-old self.

    To me this song has the same feel as Queen`s Innuendo, a timeless vibe which only few songs can bring. I am happy that I am one of the few chosen who have listened to it due to its exclusivity and non-popularity. It`s good to be different and it`s good not to be part of the madding crowd. Thank you John!

    You just want to live your life
    The best way you know how
    But they keep on telling you
    That you are not allowed
    They say you are sick
    That you should hang your head in shame
    They are pointing fingers
    And want you to take the blame
    There are days when people are
    So nasty and convincing
    They say things beyond belief
    That sting and leave you wincing
    And to boot they say their words
    Come straight down from above
    And they really seem to think
    That what they're doing counts as love
    This pain it is a glacier moving through you
    And carving out deep valleys
    And creating spectacular landscapes
    And nourishing the ground
    With precious minerals and other stuff
    So don't you become paralyzed with fear
    When things seem particularly rough
    Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind
    They don't give two shits about you, it's the blind leading the blind
    What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
    And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy
    Don't listen to anyone, get answers on your own
    Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
    No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
    People like to talk a lot and they like to deceive
    This pain it is a glacier moving through you
    And carving out deep valleys
    And creating spectacular landscapes
    And nourishing the ground
    With precious minerals and other stuff
    So don't you become paralyzed with fear
    When things seem particularly rough

      I did'n't understand this until now, cause I speck italian and spanish just a little of english. John Grant Is a treasure for many people and a great artist. Integrity and talent are his trademark. Sometimes people Is wrong, everyone of Is makes little or big mistakes. But John can be sure he's just a big joy tò see, read and hear. Thank you John Grant you are more than a big artist. You're a brother.
