      It's just nuts that this is 10 years old.
      I remember the first time I saw this video in 2013....it was my first ever introduction to Grimes.
      And I _immediately_ felt something special from this song...and the video...and just her whole vibe. For one, she was stunning...instantly got a crush, can't lie. But the song itself...is so eerie. It's pure pop ear candy but with this weird melancholia. It's a perfect example of how a song can sum up a mood/feeling that simply cannot be put to words.
      Her song Realiti is another PERFECT example of that. Realiti, to me, perfectly encapsulates the mood/feeling/vibe of waking up super early, before the sun is up, while most everyone else is asleep, and just relishing the purity of existence itself...and the mystery of it all...and the existential joy that you're in the middle of it all. Realiti SOUNDS like that feeling.
      And Vanessa, again to me, SOUNDS like being in your 20s and navigating relationships, the whole social world, while still coming to terms with who you are as a person, struggling with both the pain and joy of being out in the world on your own.
      It honestly bothers me that all anyone talks about anymore is the fact she's dating Elon....and the name of the damn baby.
      Who cares? I mean, I GET it...I get why that's "salacious" to the general public. But I miss the time when the focus was solely on her artistry and the fact she was such a game changer for the sound of alternative pop music. Back in 2013 when I first caught wind of her music....it was far and away the most interesting/creative thing I'd come across in years. Still a huge huge fan.

      are you just saying that planet thing because thousands (or more) of other people have said. or perhaps because everyone thinks that because of elon musk? that or do you genuinely believe it?

    I remember I had to ride my bike to work for precisely 1.5 hrs @ 4 in the morning. I would play this song as I traveled literally from one city to another to make ends meet. It gives me the chills just to think about that. I had to cross with my bike at some point where there was literally no sidewalks , no buildings, only coyote howls and a very very lone 🚵‍♀️ on a dirt road. I won’t lie, sometimes weed would make the journey feel less scary.

      They're really making an evolution over there in America!
      Of this, nothing is visible in Europe. By now, it has completely drowned in ISLAM, the end of all cultural, spiritual and cosmic progress!
      I heard ya'll have voted for the "Democrats" over there. Also heard that _Biden_ wants to quickly undo Don Trump's travel ban; so after staying a cool-headed and souvereign state through-out the last years, you'll finally follow in our foot-steps and get Muslimized and colonized by *the Caliphat* through-out the next few years. Congratulations!
      Seems, only the Rise of the Anti-Christ in 2029 will be able to stop this evolution now from taking the whole inhabitance of Earth with it! It's a pity you got so weak in the end. Really had some trust in your ability to discriminate there... Anyway, what an amazing spiritual inspiration _Grimes_ is! -- Just like _Dune_ , that book that she reportedly loved so much! Real spiritual evolution impulses in there. Must defend them from the Black Hand of the Wasteland (known by Muhammadanism/Islam) that tries to extinguish all culture for all eternity!

    I remember the first time I saw this video in 2013....it was my first ever introduction to Grimes.
    And I _immediately_ felt something special from this song...and the video...and just her whole vibe. For one, she was stunning...instantly got a crush, can't lie. But the song itself...is so eerie. It's pure pop ear candy but with this weird melancholia. It's a perfect example of how a song can sum up a mood/feeling that simply cannot be put to words.
    Her song Realiti is another PERFECT example of that. Realiti, to me, perfectly encapsulates the mood/feeling/vibe of waking up super early, before the sun is up, while most everyone else is asleep, and just relishing the purity of existence itself...and the mystery of it all...and the existential joy that you're in the middle of it all. Realiti SOUNDS like that feeling.
    And Vanessa, again to me, SOUNDS like being in your 20s and navigating relationships, the whole social world, while still coming to terms with who you are as a person, struggling with both the pain and joy of being out in the world on your own.
    It honestly bothers me that all anyone talks about anymore is the fact she's dating Elon....and the name of the damn baby.
    Who cares? I mean, I GET it...I get why that's "salacious" to the general public. But I miss the time when the focus was solely on her artistry and the fact she was such a game changer for the sound of alternative pop music. Back in 2013 when I first caught wind of her music....it was far and away the most interesting/creative thing I'd come across in years. Still a huge huge fan.

      Yes I somehow was fortunate to hear this likely somewhere around 2012 and I remember just being like hmmmm.. why do I like this? Then continued to fall in love with all of her music, everything I could find. I was such a different person back then and so was grimes and sometimes I feel like I was meant to find her and somehow evolve with her. I loved her as a fan for years and actually only found out who Elon musk was sometime in 2017 or 18 of so .. so I had so much time just to love her for the essence of who she is, her music and nothing more. I feel fortunate

      ​@@oracle_naseeryou got that backwards. Don't want to seclude Elon it's a group of guys who pick up kids & force drugs through on them & make them sing & do all that & then they whack them off they snuff the kids. They save the content for 20 years so no one recognizes or remembers the kids & they profit off the child labor like that. Concerts are often fake, pre recorded. The satanic drug culture is doing this all the "reborn" christians who want get rid of a kid or steal from the government even stealing kids to dump off as such was my case. I was kidnapped & didn't come with a SSD check so they dumped me out & I became that then they wanted me back but what they didn't know was that I was the one making the money through rock starring & building Amtrak. They were not rich rich in the 90s they were drug rich & they went around needle popping everybody to steal from them. I was also only 8 why would people know an 8 year through Elon? Instead of Elon through a bunch of 7 year old rockstarz?

I'm 52 years old and the current music scene rarely impresses me, but Grimes, with his voice and melodies, provoked in me special sensations that are difficult to describe. I can only say that it is wonderful

    This is the first song I discovered from her and have been listening to her music since 2012, it's 2020 now and wow! She has grown to be such a successful person. So happy for her and her little bun in the oven 😊

    That was awesome!First time I've heard it and yet it already sounds like one of the freshest, most expenisve and fun tracks of the year, and confirms Grimes as one of the most talented, and individualist artists working today. The video is one of the best I've seen in a long time too. Bring on on the new Album!

    I like to think the symmetry circles are like a glowing expansion of emotion that's like a dark sun whose rays are sharpened. It gets out of control later. Maybe it's just me but the last 15 seconds or so you can feel the heartlessness people experience and it's interesting how the vocals are like a sinking trance, yet I also get a happy tune. Get is a strange word. Peace and love.

    Love the early 90’s rave vibe to this. Very interesting. Fantastic

    ♡ being her fan for the last 9 years really ♡ I remember being the ones who would tell friends about her and they thought she was so odd.

    i discovered this song back in 2013, i'm a metalhead, but this is really brilliant. She's one of my favorite female artists.
