“We went down into the basement of this crazy abandoned building - this is Montreal in the dead of winter, like negative 40. It was great but my fingers froze so it was really hard to play. People kept having to blow on my fingers, it was so painful. If you watch closely you can see a piece of the roof fall and hit me in the head as I’m playing [laughs]. That was really fun!” - Grimes, The Skinny (February 2012)
@@guitaria6 that's my reality, born and raised in montreal ! i lived in a "poor" neighborhood but i had lots of friends and we were chasing abandoned buildings, there was a lot of them, we would break in, we would climb on rooftops jumping from house to house ( the appartments were so close to each other), throwing snowballs in windows, making graffitis...we were all "poor kids" but i wouldn't exchange my childhood with any rich kids, it was that fun ! pretty sure everyone born in the 80s in montreal can relate !
This has to be one of the most incredibly gorgeous things i've ever heard. Is hauntingly stunning, can't stop listening to it. In a dark place, to hear such a sublime voice. I could easily die that way.
the atmosphere and the feeling for sure!!! to die with that voice being homeless is probably next for me Im going to squat hope I hear that voice imagine someone in the next room freezing to death listening to that

She claims through the media to have a poor singing voice yet without any vocal equipment being used at all in this solo performence she sounds perfect and genuinely unique.
Yes. I sing and heard early on in her voice that if her she was just flowing raw..”unplugged” it would be angelic. I remember hearing/watching this the first time and I play Uke after years of guitar but anyways this is still mesmerizing and well no words! If there is perfection then this is a prime example:)✨💫🌙
Every single time I see/hear something new from her, or even something I haven't seen before(like this) it always...ALWAYS makes me fall more in love with her than before. Both as a creative inspiration to my own music...and as a beautiful human being in her own right.
No doubt about it, she is one of the most unique and talented artists we may ever encounter. However, she did come from a prestigious background. Her vocals appear trained, natural talent no doubt, but whether you are in your car for an hour a day belting or getting lessons from a professional, her voice is trained. She was trained in ballet also, pretty sure this is widely known but it’s good to keep in mind that only wealthy, boujie families put their children in ballet. Not judging, honestly wish my family would have. Go grimes. Even if we want to go as far to say she wasn’t trained in these things, she was financially and creatively supported by her family to embrace these things- whether she was aware of it or not. So really, if you add that with a combination of beauty and talent, well yeah, of course Elon is going to knock her up. Grimes is real and relatable, this is why we appeal to her. But sadly, as a true fan, I have realized that she is not a diamond in the rough. She is a product of wealth and she is simply following the path that was paved for her. Sure, she may seem rebellious from going against her family’s culture, but coming from a similar family myself, I believe her and I both know that families like this truly only speak one language: money. So, her becoming successful on her own doing something completely opposing from her parents is her ultimate “I made it”. I don’t care how “unique” she was from her conservative parents; the only thing dictating her future, was money. Being born into it, and not knowing how to be without it after that. As any other human would. And the same will always go for the rest of us. It is rare that you witness someone who goes far off from their familial monetary background. Grimes is no exception. This comment isn’t here to burst your bubble, it’s here to open your eyes and realize that this should change, because as real as it may be, it is only this way because society has created it this way. Be the change you wish to see. Also, I love you no matter what grimes, you have gotten me through many dark times and I know you were there in those dark times yourself too. Your music says it all, so I don’t give a fuck how you got here, I would not be the same without you and I love you. So, while I am entitled to my own opinion, I have the utmost love and respect for you as an artist. Thank you for existing, my life would not be the same without you.
I just listened to this song immediately after the new death grips album. It's like I just got completely shattered apart and then grimes reassembled me back together, gave me a reassuring hug, and told me it would all be ok.
Megamaniac610 described a dissociative brainwashing technique here: 'new death grips album. It's like I just got completely shattered apart and then grimes reassembled me back together, gave me a reassuring hug, and told me it would all be ok." They do it to babies. Oh shit... I can't type what they do right now. Sorry. I'm gonna go to church now and talk about God instead of Satan. Anyways.. about 25% of people are able to zone out if experiencing too much trauma. The elites have been torturing people for so long that they've figured out how to force a person's mind to switch to some intense emotion/behavior, follow orders, and then forget it all happened. Or you just get the person high on drugs, no torture needed. Tell Grimes to tell her friends to stop drinking blood and torturing. Those days are over. People/kids are simply worth too much money alive and un-tortured thanks to our guy, Satoshi Nakamoto. You rich people are gonna have to start AirBnBing some of your properties and puling your weight around here instead of helping none but yourselves. We decided to do the right thing from now on. Figure it out on your own because if you don't believe or understand I just don't have time to explain it right now.
It's amazing that just few lyrics can have a lot of meaning, I think this song make references about being murdered, like if you were trapped into a four pillars castle and all the time those "Killers" were look at you and they could kill you wherever they want, you can feel the pain, the frustacion, the sadness and fear in this song .. Amazing how Claire Boucher put a lot of meaning in all her songs .. true artist, incredible.
Okay, so this is what I understood from the lyrics: Here all the pillars I called Far away a killer I know Oh I see I see I see Ohhhh aaaah Ahhhh oh oh oh He cries He cries and Oh oh oh It dies It dies and Oh oh oh oh It cries It cries and Oh oh oh It dies It dies Ahhh Here my pillars I called Are they killers? I know I see I see I see Oh oh oh oh It cries It cries and Oh oh oh oh It dies It dies and Oh oh oh He cries He cries Oh oh oh oh He dies He dies
I know she likes her gadgets. It's a shame because her voice is so beautiful and it gets filtered or drowned out. I'd pay twice as much if she had an album with just a couple instruments and her lovely voice.
first part ukulele: D-Dmaj7 arpeggio the 3 first strings second part (arpeggi the 3 last strings) and the final part(not arpeggi) F-G7(without the first string)-A-Am7 (no fingers) someone knows the name of the song?
@@PandaPanda-eq3fryeah they took me down there to murder me & I could sing so they they forced me to make content & robbed me tried several times to murder me after they got plenty of content
some people put her down about the way she talks, or the way she sings,without realising she is such an amazingly talented musician...she is multifaceted....like a jewel.
She is my favorite too...I cant stop listening to her and and creating beautiful paintings while listening to her stuff.....she is amazing! My new muse...
I've tried to stop myself coming back to this for 4 weeks to see if I still liked it as much as I thought I did when I was watching it 6 times a day. Guess what? I fuckin love it more than I did then, she is the greatest talent around. No doubt about it.
From being bullied in school, wearing ratty, thrift shop clothes, getting frostbite and being broke, to world tours, modeling for Versace, and hobnobbing with manic genius bilionaires... quite accomplished for a self-made musician and songstress!
Ami and everyone commenting underneath it are all right. She's still self-made but definitely had tremendous support. Many DIY artists will never have that kind of support. Her claims that she does everything alone disregard her labels, friends who taught her, family, and sponsorships. There are also so many female producers but Grimes manages to make a unique pop that is engaging/sells. It's okay to be envious as she is still absolutely amazing. Just keep making and performing and don't worry so much about the luck of others- we don't live in a fair society.
youtube recommending old grimes vids since i started spam liking all the instrumental versions of artangels. keep it up youtube, baby, i’m loving these hidden gems 💓
In the second half it sounds like she's singing 'he died' over and over, though I'm pretty certain she isn't singing real words. She has such a beautiful voice with a relatively wide range, I hope she will provide her unique brand of music for years to come.
she lost a lot of friends during this era to them doing drugs and i think that was what she was referencing to you shouldnt look up to her because of that but yeah i agree it is a really pretty song
i know this is a 9 year old comment, but im positive she sings "it dies" - referring to her broken heart. shes sung this multiple times live and those live versions is about her heart breaking
I have so much love and respect for what this woman is doing for music and art right now. If I saw an intimate acoustic performance such as this one I would just melt. So... what astute soul can precure the name or this lovely track?

@4 everno 1 I think the song might be about masonic sacrificial ritual? (Grimes is a freemason). The pillars (Boaz and Jachin), the killer and the victim that is being slain, it all points to that, unfortunately :( Despite the fact that I know she's part of the evil scum "elite" I still cant stop myself from listening to her music, man, I like her art so much :(

Are you crazy.
this is the best ive ever heard her real voice raw without the electronic loop distortion
It made me imagine a calm song being played as the end is near during a military siege and their is just that group of people and the war outside.
All they have is stories created specifically to rob me over and over and over while I work the entire time harder than anyone I've ever met.
i’ll always love this era of grimes
she was doing drugs and it was very bad but you shouldnt look up to her because of that
10 years later i still think this is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard
agreed
Her voice... Just... Her voice...
"You guys, my number one priority is not to die here!" XD this song is so beautiful, I can't stop listening to it.

nobodys gonna mention the fact that she hit those super high notes at the beggining? those note were D6 and A6!
she hits rlly high notes if u search grimes rare she hits e6 in song intor/flower also exclaimed alot whistle and flageolet in live version of scream/la vas lyubil
"circumambient"and " skin" have a high notes too
She have high head voice/whistle in "dream fortress" and "skin" too
she said in an interview that she's trained her voice to reach four octaves
First I thought it was a flute.
I have accomplished learning this entire song on the ukulele. I feel proud of myself because this is the first full song I've ever learned.
omg im trying to learn it on the uke i cant accpmplish more than the first part hahhaha
strumming pattern on the last bit plz
Up, Down, Pat uke, Up, Down, Pat that uke again.
anyone know what the chords are?
Me too 🥹🥹🥹
This is so raw. Even the sounds of whats going on outside the session was just so perfectly placed. Well done man.
I wish she would re record and release this song...it's very special.
This and Saturn Princess and I could die happy
I feel like I had a spiritual awakening during this.
She claims through the media to have a poor singing voice yet without any vocal equipment being used at all in this solo performence she sounds perfect and genuinely unique.
Yes. I sing and heard early on in her voice that if her she was just flowing raw..”unplugged” it would be angelic. I remember hearing/watching this the first time and I play Uke after years of guitar but anyways this is still mesmerizing and well no words! If there is perfection then this is a prime example:)✨💫🌙
There's some sort of magic in her voice ⭐✨
tbh, I would love an album of hers done like this.Just her voice, with a guitar or ukulele in the background.
Every single time I see/hear something new from her, or even something I haven't seen before(like this) it always...ALWAYS makes me fall more in love with her than before. Both as a creative inspiration to my own music...and as a beautiful human being in her own right.
avedic yesss same ❤️😍
Honestly one of her best vocal moments in my opinion, still listen to this over and over and over and over
sing my angel singggg!!
this is the only video i've ever seen of claire playing the uke ffdshwdwdh its so beautiful and haunting and amazing i wanna cry

Okay, so this is what I understood from the lyrics:

I called
Far away a killer
I know
Oh
I see
I see
I see
Ohhhh aaaah
Ahhhh oh oh oh
He cries
He cries and
Oh oh oh
It dies

I called
Are they killers?

I see
I see
Oh oh oh oh
It cries
It cries and
Oh oh oh oh
It dies
It dies and

What is the name of the song??
I hear "Born Bred Killers" instead of "Are they killers" but that's doesn't really matter 🌞
So beautiful! I didn’t even know about her back then but I miss this era of Grimes. There’s something so sincere and innocent about it!

It should be released, because it's unbelievably beautiful.

GRIMES is everything. ❤️
Thank you for that, well worth the watch and what a voice.
everything abt who she was back then was perfect. she's not the same :(
everybody changes! i bet you’ve changed since you last committed that
she just became more confident and shes a lot better now you shouldnt bring her down becsuse of it
gosh this is too beautiful for this earth bye

i think she starts 'Here upon the pillars'
What does this words means? I'm sorry I'm just not good at english, I can translate it but I don't understand what this song about
@4 everno 1 I think the song might be about masonic sacrificial ritual? (Grimes is a freemason). The pillars (Boaz and Jachin), the killer and the victim that is being slain, it all points to that, unfortunately :( Despite the fact that I know she's part of the evil scum "elite" I still cant stop myself from listening to her music, man, I like her art so much :(
i die at 3:50 where the strumming comes it wow she is PERFECT
This performance alone explains why she would love Nicole Dollanganger.
why am i actually crying
I’m grimes gives me such an emotional response and this video like rips my heart out
you are not alone
