    John Grant is incredible; his vulnerability is painful at times, but his honesty cuts through any crap. And no-one writes lyrics like him.

    John Grant is one of my favorite artist. His vulnerability makes me cry sometimes. Wonderful song, amazing lyric, so honest. A musical genius that hard childhood has not beaten down (nearly) to death. He loves Iceland.

    His voice reminds me of Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies along with Raul Malo of the Mavericks. He has such a great tone that is so pleasing to the ear!

    Anyone who is strong in their approach to their work will always divide opinion. It is only the bland which perhaps has general appeal. To me and many others this man is a genius but if you don't like him just ignore him. He has had enough shit in his life and doesn't need to cope with comments by people who should just move on past to something/someone they like. As the old saying goes"Each to his own"

    @PaulCoolhugs It sounds like an anthem to me, a real classic. Maybe you don't like americana. The lyrics are great. I like that he names the actors instead of the characters, as it's really about the absurdity of playing in a horror movie.

    What I meant was - try to absorb the fact, that maybe he's not just talking about films, maybe the awkward sounding lyrics, is a (brilliant) way of expressing feeling awkward and out of place..?
    That's what I meant might be a lot for you to absorb.

    I was a security guard at his show in Iceland 2 days ago. Unfortunately I had never heard of him and expected him to suck like all the other bands at Airwaves so I decided to stand outside the building :(

  • @J4K31
    @J4K31 13 років тому

    Obviously the lyrics aren't supposed to be too meaningful, but comedic more than anything
    He has a great voice and the music's great

    • @jenniferlynch8446
      @jenniferlynch8446 4 роки тому +2

      Actually I think that they are very meaningful. To me it sounds like he's saying that he just doesn't quite fit in the world.

  • @Rozenn1981
    @Rozenn1981 13 років тому

    @PaulCoolhugs You just need to be able to not take the lyrics seriously, this is ironic, using humour to make a point, don't worry if you don't get it, we are a lot to get it ahahah

    A question is haunting me: who the hell is the other guy? I'd guess Keanu Reeves, but I'm not sure..

    • @cassiusroma6482
      @cassiusroma6482 7 років тому +6

      Yes, it's Keanu Reeves. His attempt at an English accent in that film was one of the most awful things I've ever heard.

    Look don't say "what awful lyrics"
    Are you a lyric critic?
    Do you write better lyrics yourself on the way home on the bus?
    The man is an artist. It's art - try and understand it. Do you think, perhaps, he's not just talking about films.
    I know it's a lot to absorb - but try, or tee off.
