meatmxn that’s not true. there are so many underrated artists that both of us probably don’t know that make music similar/better than grimes. it’s ignorant to say that a whole generation is filled with wannabes.
I like her because she's so relatable... Like she fucks up the timing of her samples in the beginning and you and see her visibly distressed. That's so me as a musician.
I tried to do a live performance with a similar setup and it is so insanely difficult to concentrate on looping and singing and playing. Never again. It's like a miracle when things sync up.
Grimes has such a rad sound. She's inspiring like everything is so DIY and her voice IS great. It's so cute and it contrasts beautifully w her music. Try being this talented. If don't like the music or singing at least respect how she writes produces and sings her own stuff.
Watching her create music is seriously astonishing. She is one of those artists that are so incredibly sensitive to sound that you can hardly believe it.
I'm a singer/guitarist, and never expected to be so impressed or to be so affected by a song or to be mesmerised in watching it being created in real time. I've never heard anything like this! It was as if Grimes thoughts were being heard out loud and the beats she chose with that low sound, the buttons she chose for sound input, it was all just right and blended beautifully. It was so easy to float into another realm listening to this. It was ethereal and more hypnotic than Enya's music! This girl is more than talented, she is creating feelings with colours and the vocals were placed uncannily so perfect within the realm she conjured up. Calmness, soothing and resonating, I didn't want it to stop... And I can never listen to modern music as it's usually too predictable, but this................ this was something else! She did it all 'live' and I cannot imagine the recording being as good. Her cute angelic face just topped it off with such innocence. The sounds allowed for pure escapism and I will be playing this again and again. Surely this must be Grimes best song?
That says it all really, she was enjoying some cramped knees, stretched tendons and hamstrings and knobbly ankles and tapping those cute black tight enclosed Grimes feet. My Obsession is very granular and focused.
I remember hearing this album and watching this performance for the first time in 2012. Really manic and confusing time of my life. Hearing this again provokes some painfully cathartic nostalgia. Selective memory just associates this sound with all the fun times, long nights with friends, or alone. The psychedelics, the feeling of actually being inspired, hopeful, angry, and passionate. Not knowing what was around the corner and that not realizing the most volatile time might have been the best time of my life. I saw her perform at Pemberton in 2014. All my buddies went to other stages. They didn't know or care for the music. They missed out. Thanks for the memories Claire :)
+SNOWMΛN She actually has a sweet voice... that could _definitely_ use some training. However, in more recent performances, while she's still singing out of key here and there, she seems a lot more confident and does so with certain "punky" IDGAF attitude that suits her music quite well. She also goes into all-out Banshee-mode more often.
Well this in an old comment but anyways she has said that producing and making the beats is more of her thing and singing feels sometimes uncomfortable to her. But I have to say I really like that "punk" feeling in her singing here, no matter if its a bit off key. She takes risks and not trying to be perfect. :3
For all who think she can't perform live; The offbeats and disharmonies give the needed charm to her songs. If you can't feel it I just have to say sorry for you...
A young lady I know introduced me to Grimes and I'm hooked. She's very talented and her voice is hauntingly beautiful. It's always great to see how she does it. Amazing. 🌹
This is actually not just different from the Album version but, also better in many ways - perhaps it's just the 'liveness' of it that trumps the other version.
I love thats she seems so timid yet outgoing...brave and bold yet reserved. I think its cool how everything with her is like an experimental type sound, be brqve enuf to feel it, ride it and explore the moment. Im definitely way late to the party but im a fan!
just because some of the timing's out on the sequencer or whatever plays back the loops does not make it completely horrible. apart from that there is nothing objective wrong with it. although you may not like the change of vocals, I think they make a much more ominous song.
watching her reminds me of my sessions in writing Electronic music for years. When everyone else just does DJ work, she uses keyboards and samplers. finally the solo musician is gaining recognition.
Don't want peace of mind Don't want a man, what a sight 'Cause I want to call home Don't want peace of mind Don't want a man, what a sight 'Cause I want to call home (Be a body) I close my eyes until I see I don't need hands to touch me Be a body I lean on walls until I stand I touch my face with my hand Be a body I close my eyes until I see I don't need hands to touch me Be a body I lean on walls until I stand I touch my face with my hand Be a body Be a body So then what am I? Be a body So then what am I? Be a body So then what am I? Be a body So then what am I? (To the rhythm I go) Don't want peace of mind Don't want a man, what a sight 'Cause I want to call home (Be a body) Don't want peace of mind Don't want a man, what a sight 'Cause I want to call home
This version of Be a Body is incredible. Darker and more atmospheric.
You're a true fan
its a cacophony wtf are you on about "incredible"
It reminds of walking on Santa Monica beach in the summer evening 😍😍😍😍
I have to agree 100% it's so much better. this video was actually my first time hearing it
Me too and its the best version.
I didn't know people were capable of being this cool
New age hippy movement 😎
meatmxn that’s not true. there are so many underrated artists that both of us probably don’t know that make music similar/better than grimes. it’s ignorant to say that a whole generation is filled with wannabes.
meatmxn this shit isn’t even hipster tho?? stuff like this will unfortunately never be mainstream
Authentic
@@xchorro There’s a difference between having a lot and being full of. There are 7 billion people.
Watching her make music is almost as fun as listening to the music
Skylar O'kane more*
way more but yeah lol
I like her because she's so relatable... Like she fucks up the timing of her samples in the beginning and you and see her visibly distressed. That's so me as a musician.
That to me is a shit musician. How can you fuck up basically doing nothing?
😊

Loopers need a math brain. Mine is: not 😻
Hentai404 practice. I do it every day. It takes skill and dedication hahaha
you’ll get it eventually lol
no quantisation?
@@thetree9399 It didn't really exist in hardware at the time. It was doable through Ableton but I wanted to be non-laptop for some reason.
We’ll never see Grimes like this again probably, which is sad.
:(
:(
why not?
That's life, people change. I'm glad she made so many good songs in the past.
@Sorcerer I agree. The mainstream poison is seeping in.
"Check check check, EHH AY EHH"
omg im laughing af
ugh i love who she was in 2012
I think it was a joke cause she actually gagged lol
I haven't fangirled this hard since Nirvana.
Urtė Katiliūtė foreal lmao same since Alice in chains layne days
💜💜💜

and cc.
Ya basic
The mug, the lamp, the wires, the litlle doodle in the wall with the flasher, the collection of rugs
EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

Dahlia Lolita yeah she like DEFINES indie music, she does ALL of the work
Why is everyone saying she's out of tune? It just sounds different from the album version.. and it's amazing, at all.
👍
I love this performance...it's organic...it's lovely to see people work with their craft...we love her because she is herself x
It sounds more as if she's harmonising.
Reydson Lee she sounds fine to me idk
Nah it's just cos your tone deaf, haha
Watching her create music is seriously astonishing. She is one of those artists that are so incredibly sensitive to sound that you can hardly believe it.
I come here at least once a week. Brilliant! I love her old stuff soooo much!

This is Grimes at her greatest: a mad fucking scientist twisting knobs and shit, making something fucking beautiful.
Be a body to this 8 minutes and 48 seconds each day and see results. Dang my heart is pumping. Thanks for the serotonin and inspiration Grimes 🙏
beautiful, amazing, exquisite, magnificent, elegant, showstopping, completely never done before, totally unique
LOVE Grimes. She is a TRUE artist.
Watching her work on the song is like watching a sushi chef prepare your food
Queen of Mars - I feel bad for anyone who can’t appreciate this genius
This Live performance is Way better than the studio/album version....way more real and raw...
I miss the old Grimes. 😢
she's dancing with her feet ^^
That says it all really, she was enjoying some cramped knees, stretched tendons and hamstrings and
knobbly ankles and tapping those cute black tight enclosed Grimes feet.
My Obsession is very granular and focused.
05: 05 uwu she’s adorable
8:02 when she looked up at the interviewer that was very adorable, shes like completely different after the performance
She's so fkn lovely.
i dont know if people realize this, but this is so goth. i love this.
This is so good, I hope she isn't too hard on herself still. The groove is solid and her raw talent shows in these older videos.
The way she shouts "be a body" is outta this world
My fav part 🔥
am i the only person who really likes the vocals in this?
yes
we checked and it looks like this is the case; those thirty likes on your comment were Russian bots
It's great has a punk feel. These kids don't know shit.
I think you are
Definitely not

They missed out.
Thanks for the memories Claire :)
Fills me with nostalgia and drive and desire to do great things.
Grimes is so fucking inspiring. Hopefully I reach this level of expertise in my pursuits. Absolutely crazy shit
I'm more fascinated by what she's doing rather than her actual singing.
It seems that nowadays she sings so much better
She's a pretty shitty singer, but her tracks sound cool as hell.
+SNOWMΛN She actually has a sweet voice... that could _definitely_ use
some training. However, in more recent performances, while she's still singing out of key here and there, she seems a lot more confident and does so with certain "punky" IDGAF attitude that suits her music quite well.

+NIMRODakaNIMROD CHeck out her other live performances, she does very well. I suspect she was just having an off day here.

Imperfection is an art.
She's amazing
They're missing out on the experience for sure!
exactly. i like this version better than the official album version haha
totally agree, the imperfections tune it into a masterpiece
I really loved this. Claire has pure talent. And the noises she makes 😂
I love how chanty and trancey this is ☁️☁️☁️🤗😍🧚🏻♀️🛸🔮
God I LOVE her old stuff! I wish she’d release something a bit closer to this!
I absolutely adore her.
She is 110% completly in the music...it's a joy to witness.
brilliant. I love how her tracks evolve instead of following verse/chorus/verse/chorus..
She reminds me of KraftWerk in their early years, a diamond in the rough.
Great sound scape.
this is next level. i bet no one could reach this level again.
Bjork without a doubt
Some of her most genius and artistic work. Her older music is soooo much better than the newer stuff.
she can influence emotions with her voice
Yes!
i love how real her performances are, i love when performances arent perfect it just is much cooler
72 people did not close their eyes until they saw....
MrWitchman1967 hahahah 😂😂😂
Those same people think Pop music is music also...
Maybe they did close their eyes and missed the like button

Art for your ears
I came across BE a body after diving into Visions album. I had no idea Grimes was on this level a decade ago. WHAT THE HELL DID MUSK DO TO HER?
At first her singing is surprising but it really grows on you. It's fascinating to watch her perform !
I wasn't into this kind of music before. GRIMES just popped my cherry.
Such a sign of strength and tenacity🎉🎉🎉🎉
phew this is so energetic yet so calming i’m so confused
This is my favorite video on youtube and has been for a while
00:26 NO DOUBT ITS URBAN TWILIGHT, ONE OF THE BEST MASTERPIECES EVER, GODDDDDDD
this reminds me of my other fav band , Tune Yards. The looping is amazing
This is actually not just different from the Album version but, also better in many ways - perhaps it's just the 'liveness' of it that trumps the other version.
This is the only version I know.
There are legit studies out there that live performances really do give aesthetic satisfaction to people. ♥️ Studied it for master's.
La verdad es que subestimaba a esta chamaca, pero me encantó. La amo!!!
looks like she was crying because she screwed up the beginning! I wanted to hug her
I LOVE grimes. i wish i had her talent
I love her vocals. The pitch perfect recorded ones, and the more raw slightly out of tune ones as well x3
this lady has been on kexp for a while! props to her
Awesome Performance!!!!
Grimes taught me how to drive.
a true artist.
Умничка, правда! Зауважал еще больше за правду! Молодчинка. Большой труд!
Eu amo essa menina!
Amazzzing.Ly Beautiful ❣️ an amazing artist, Thank You for sharing, a beautiful creation.
Love it. Could watch her all day.
I love thats she seems so timid yet outgoing...brave and bold yet reserved. I think its cool how everything with her is like an experimental type sound, be brqve enuf to feel it, ride it and explore the moment. Im definitely way late to the party but im a fan!
Maravilhosa!!!! Brasil te ama
I keep coming back to this so intriguing

although you may not like the change of vocals, I think they make a much more ominous song.
Lo que admiro a esta mina, es increible
watching her reminds me of my sessions in writing Electronic music for years. When everyone else just does DJ work, she uses keyboards and samplers. finally the solo musician is gaining recognition.
Awesome !! First video I've seen of her: blown away !
Ugh she's so awesome.
wow, amazing !!! love this performance. Thank you ! Xx
Damn I recently found about this song from pandora and found out this gem released in 2012 damn I slept so heavy on this type of music
So mesmerizing
This planet isn't big enough for her. She is already on Mars selling out venues. Creative genius.
Y aqui seguimos escuchando esta joya en el 2024 🎉❤😊
i love you grimes!!!!
I love her, she is very cute. And def one of her best songs. Awesome performance !!!
The best type of vocals!

I don't need hands to touch me
Be a body
I lean on walls until I stand
I touch my face with my hand
Be a body
I close my eyes until I see
I don't need hands to touch me
Be a body
I lean on walls until I stand
I touch my face with my hand
Be a body
Be a body
So then what am I?
Be a body

'Cause I want to call home
Those don't even for this version lmfao. Try again like farmer
I love her so much
What a kind person!
i love her
It seems like it comes so natural to her
How much do I love Grimes... let me count the ways.
I love her human limitations making music
I'm so....in love..
Same!
fuck she is so inspiring and cool and authentic I love her I love her 🤧
Think about it, the day visions came out she absolutely nails it on KEXP. I feel like March 28th should be celebrated as a national fucking holiday.
She is such a real talent. It's beautiful to see. Think I'm in love.
