***** I think it's really sad how a good handful of her fans are unsupportive of her trying new things, forcing her to turn off the comments on the videos for her new material so she doesn't have to see their negativity.
Don't get me wrong: I loveloveLOVE Grimes's old stuff, but I'm glad she's experimenting. Despite what other people say, she's still branching out a lot, and I respect her for that.
[Verse 1: Grimes] Everything I've ever known is wrong Oh, what's the matter with me? Did I even want it? Did I just assume that's how it had to be? [Verse 2: Grimes] Throw a ball, it's bouncing off the wall That's how I heard music first Did I really need it? How can something so free feel so rehearsed? [Chorus: Grimes] Calculate the entropy Running out of energy A lack of love or empathy Leave me lonely Calculate the entropy Bitter path in front of me Oh neither friend or enemy Leave me lonely [Verse 3: Grimes] Every day I let the music play It seems to play by itself Did I let it bleed me? Did I hit it back until it bled itself? [Verse 4: Grimes] How the birds can sing a tuneless song? How can they stay in the sky? Maybe they're just screaming Maybe it's not music and it's all a lie [Chorus: Grimes] Calculate the entropy Running out of energy A lack of love or empathy Leave me lonely Calculate the entropy Bitter path in front of me Oh neither friend or enemy Leave me lonely [Bridge: Grimes] E-eh, e-eh, e-eh, eh E-e-eh, eh E-eh, e-eh, e-eh, eh E-e-eh, eh [Chorus: Grimes] Calculate the entropy Running out of energy A lack of love or empathy Leave me lonely Calculate the entropy Bitter path in front of me Oh neither friend or enemy Leave me lonely [Outro: Grimes] Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely Keep me lonely
Wtf why everyone hate this? Isnt grimes style at all but its awesome, and her voice omfg. I guess im the only one who i love this. I really liked a lot. Bye.
I don't like the production, but I do like the lyrics and her voice. I'm hoping she finds more success with this song and it's better than most of the stuff on the radio. She really does deserve recognition. My favorite song from her is 'Be a Body,' so I'm really more interested in hearing more upbeat electronic songs.
You see, it's because they're snobs. Snobs get more enjoyment out of complaining about music than actually listening to music, the poor dumb bastards. Now if you'll pardon me, I am going to enjoy this song again.
These lyrics mean more to me as the years go on. I didn't realize I was living for others my whole life and this song just changes the meaning of meaning for different people. It's amazing and bittersweet.
The "generic pop" sound is not because Grimes is being forced by some evil demons to change. Also Bleachers did not ruin this song at all. You all are so uptight, this is a great song and you know it. (Not to mention it can't be too dark because this was created for the HBO show Girls)
I don't really understand why people don't like this. It may not be typical of Grimes' style. However, it adds depth to her character as an artist who is free to experiment beyond what she is normally creating. Who wants a one dimensional artist? Additionally, it's almost as if people have forgotten that this is a collaboration. What about Bleachers?! Maybe this particular song is overly happy and poppy. What's wrong with that? People are allowed to be happy every now and then right? Don't make me bring Pharrell in here...
I think it's awesome that she is experimenting. She has grown so much in the last 3 years. I love it when I find new artists that are basically no one to start but become huge after working hard for it. Grimes is a perfect example of paying dues. She deserves any fame she gets.
Jeremy Doe I agree with 100% of everything you wrote. It just shows how versatile she is and how exciting it will be to see what the next 3 years are for her, creatively speaking. Change is a constant and Grimes is truly a testament to this notion.
Bear Boy I love old Grimes, I love new Grimes, I love side-project Grimes. It's all good. This song's lyrics alone are wonderful. Doesn't everyone feel like this some days?
How can people hate this? Just because she isn't doing the same kind of thing constantly. It's good for artists to experiment and alter their style slightly otherwise they would become boring
You can't please everyone, just as many people will grow to dislike if all her albums sounded the same. i think that fans of some obscure thing will only love that it if it remains obscure because it feels like it's made only for them. if it becomes too popular, it's like it suddenly betrayed them lol.
this has reverb sksk. i love her but she is getting kinda mainstream nowadays. i just realized your comment is four years old so this is dumb but i'll still post it lol
I really love the cleaner delay and reverb used on her voice than what she would use on her older albums, and I love that sound too. I would not be opposed Claire just producing herself this way for an album.
Love the versatility Grimes shows in this collab! And I also love the classic Grimes sound in Realiti so it's like I'm getting 2 new Grimes jams for the price of 1
Why did I just discover this? It's pretty darn good! I love how Grimes can create such varied sounds/styles....whether she's working solo, or collaborating with others.
REALiTi is absolutely amazing. Totally what I want more of... the sound. Takes me back to the 90s. Good times for EDM. Also, it sounds very much like a progressed sound to her song Vanessa. My all time fav of hers. Found her in 2012 but have followed her since. Talented to the core.
orangejewsify -- she lost the file for REALiTi... such a shame. It has happened to me before. I'm glad she finished it as much as she did but sometimes less is better... demos can be better than the final product.
I got addicted to this song. that scratchy instrumental sound is hypnotic, the lyrics is so nice. It feels so fresh I love everything about this song. Claire no rush, but can't wait to hear your new music
Why do artists have to continue with melancholy and sadness. She's in a happier place creatively, she's an industry darling and more and more artists are putting her over. Why wouldn't she make happier music.
i really really really really love this song...... it is sad, but it makes me happy, but it also kinda makes me sad, but then i hear that twang in my head at night and i cant sleep
Grimes displayed her diversity on her first 3 INCREDIBLE records. This I can see on a Master Card commercial. Still really looking forward to her next album, although I'm starting to worry a little bit. Either way, she's a great artist and I wish her all the very best, whether I enjoy it or not.
+Mauricio She is experimenting by not experimenting. Have you heard Grimes before? She has always been experimental. By leaning less towards these roots she is coming out of her comfort zone sooo.
It's so much more upbeat from Grimes normal stuff, and I love it. I love her darker music of course, but this is refreshing and something I can listen to in the mornings. Go Grimes.
people it dont matter that this is not her way of music, cause Hello Idiots, this is Bleachers, she singing great in this song. its like saying a Singer goes Runway for a designer... its just something they were told to do and agreed.
I love how Grimes is proving to everyone that she can be quite diverse and versatile with her amazing talents.

[Verse 1: Grimes]
Everything I've ever known is wrong
Oh, what's the matter with me?
Did I even want it?
Did I just assume that's how it had to be?
[Verse 2: Grimes]
Throw a ball, it's bouncing off the wall
That's how I heard music first
Did I really need it?
How can something so free feel so rehearsed?
[Chorus: Grimes]
Calculate the entropy
Running out of energy
A lack of love or empathy
Leave me lonely
Calculate the entropy
Bitter path in front of me
Oh neither friend or enemy
Leave me lonely
[Verse 3: Grimes]
Every day I let the music play
It seems to play by itself
Did I let it bleed me?
Did I hit it back until it bled itself?
[Verse 4: Grimes]
How the birds can sing a tuneless song?
How can they stay in the sky?
Maybe they're just screaming
Maybe it's not music and it's all a lie
[Chorus: Grimes]
Calculate the entropy
Running out of energy
A lack of love or empathy
Leave me lonely
Calculate the entropy
Bitter path in front of me
Oh neither friend or enemy
Leave me lonely
[Bridge: Grimes]
E-eh, e-eh, e-eh, eh
E-e-eh, eh
E-eh, e-eh, e-eh, eh
E-e-eh, eh
[Chorus: Grimes]
Calculate the entropy
Running out of energy
A lack of love or empathy
Leave me lonely
Calculate the entropy
Bitter path in front of me
Oh neither friend or enemy
Leave me lonely
[Outro: Grimes]
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Keep me lonely
Wtf why everyone hate this? Isnt grimes style at all but its awesome, and her voice omfg. I guess im the only one who i love this. I really liked a lot. Bye.
I actually like that I can hear her voice much clearly than the usual in this. :D
I agree! Her voice is more raw here, and I think it's beautiful. The hipsters will always complain when something gets a little bit mainstream.
When more people hate the song it's usually better. She signed on with Jay Z's management company. Our girl will be fine.
I don't like the production, but I do like the lyrics and her voice. I'm hoping she finds more success with this song and it's better than most of the stuff on the radio.

Can't wait for girls tonight!
"Calculate the Entropy"
Well it is the Integral from the initial to the final state of dQ/T plus the initial Entropy.
I didn´t approve that exam :( HAHAHA (Kill me)
hahahhaa thermodynamics?
i don’t wanna learn abt it next year djejdjjdjdjd
I mean you're referencing the conservation of energy, so I thought I'd give you a complete sentence stating : I see you, and we should have a beer.
Underrated song of hers!
I don't really understand why people don't like this. It may not be typical of Grimes' style.

Noellenc Extremely relatable for sure.
Bear Boy This is NOT Grimes, this is Jack Antonoff
How can people hate this? Just because she isn't doing the same kind of thing constantly. It's good for artists to experiment and alter their style slightly otherwise they would become boring

god i REALLY wish she would do more stuff like this she has such a nice voice when you can actually hear it
her last two albums are world shattering
wtf this is soooo good
this is honestly one of my favourites by grimes because it shows me she can do it all loooool
wtf, i'm a huge grimes fan and i just heard this song for the first time today
same here
me
Same
Sameee
Then you're not a huge Grimes fan then lol
It's July 2020 and this is the first time I'm hearing this song. WHY? I've been listening to Grimes for a year, but I've been missing out on a lot...
I love love love this song. I never tire of it.
This is the only song I heard grimes say actual words
'Rosa' is very clear too, and Realiti tbf
I hate to say it but it's kinda true. Not trying to be mean cuz I love her! :)
Took me a while to figure out 'Genesis' lyrics
+The Technician kid you can understand lyrics on her new album
The Technician kid u should listen to art angeeeels
I love Grimes! She's not only a great singer, but she is one of the best artists out there today! Good fucking song!
"How the birds can sing a tuneless song?
How can they stay in the sky?
Maybe they're just screaming
Maybe it's not music and it's all a lie"
my favorite! and the calm yet joyous way she sings it, ahhhhhh
that lyrics>
surreal
Grimes using less reverb and y'all gettin all "she's becoming too mainstream" LMFAOO
this has reverb sksk. i love her but she is getting kinda mainstream nowadays. i just realized your comment is four years old so this is dumb but i'll still post it lol
It’s nice that she is showcasing her voice! Don’t hate
It's bad when solid niche ideas become mainstream?
looking at this these times.... she's getting even more hate for the exact same reason :(
I've got a chemistry exam tomorrow and this song will get me through it ✊✊
how did it go?
Just calculate that entropy y'know
This song does not use entropy in the right manner and also fails the second law of thermodynamics
This got me wanting to go on a stroll down town while drinking starbucks lmao
bleedred100 perfect way of describing this ! ahah
Good stuff can't be beat!
I still love this masterpiece...reminds those Aprils of 2017 and an interesting May of 2021...good moments indeed
Still love this song
her voice sounds amazing on this,!!!
I really love the cleaner delay and reverb used on her voice than what she would use on her older albums, and I love that sound too. I would not be opposed Claire just producing herself this way for an album.
Check out her album: art angels, it’s just like this.
Love the versatility Grimes shows in this collab! And I also love the classic Grimes sound in Realiti so it's like I'm getting 2 new Grimes jams for the price of 1
glad this is going to be stuck in my head throughout my thermodynamics exam tomorrow :)))))
I love this new sound. I'm excited for her new album.
this is so beautiful…
Why did I just discover this? It's pretty darn good! I love how Grimes can create such varied sounds/styles....whether she's working solo, or collaborating with others.
This song snuck by for for ages until I recognised Grimes voice on the work speakers like what I've never heard this before!
I hope she stays in the direction of REALiTi.
Me too..
well... the only reason that she released that is because it didnt make the cut for her new album! so im hoping it sounds similar!!!
blehblehbleh agreed. Love that song
REALiTi is absolutely amazing. Totally what I want more of... the sound. Takes me back to the 90s. Good times for EDM. Also, it sounds very much like a progressed sound to her song Vanessa. My all time fav of hers. Found her in 2012 but have followed her since. Talented to the core.

love love very hypnotic... kinda like lullaby
Seriously loving this. It's nice to hear her voice not muddled out with her usual instrumentations.
Get your "Storms in Africa" groove Grimes~! :D
i feel like i can hear grimes voice more with this style of music
where are the credits for Grimes? i love the song
Thanks for fix it
Thank you Grimes for reminding me to do my thermodynamics homework 😘
I really love this, like a lot, but I also hope to hear more of Grimes' old style.
I love the vibe of this music!!! So delicate 😍
I think this is going to be on tonight's episode of Girls. Either way I like it.
the line about the birds is brilliant and scary in equal amounts
Wow! I'm so blown away by this!! I love this!! :3
Love it! Dancing around in my room alone!
Love this girl so much!
i keep dreaming that grimes one day will do an entire album like this
At first I was all #thafuq and then after my 30th listen im completely fucking obsessed
Every time I listen to this song I start to whimper for all the things I miss 😇
Cool to hear two great artists work together. I dig it!
nah cuz this song a mad vibe
i lay down and stare the sky looking for planes and trying to discover where they are going while listening to this
that's deep man
i really really really really love this song...... it is sad, but it makes me happy, but it also kinda makes me sad, but then i hear that twang in my head at night and i cant sleep
pretty chill catchy song. DSW shoe store has this on their playlist when you shop.
vocals on fleek, Claire
Grimes displayed her diversity on her first 3 INCREDIBLE records. This I can see on a Master Card commercial. Still really looking forward to her next album, although I'm starting to worry a little bit. Either way, she's a great artist and I wish her all the very best, whether I enjoy it or not.
It's okay, I was just surprised to hear Grimes voice in there without any mentioning of her in the title.
this song makes me so happy
This is my favorite Grimes song.
Hidden gem here, all things considered...
ahh nostalgic in 2015
I love this.
GIRLS BROUGHT ME HERE!!
Claire ahh
Oh how I love this fucking song.
this so enchanting and so damn beautiful!
this is so beautiful!
her voice is so fckn cute u,u i love her so much aw
This is total bop!Super catchy tune!
Entropy: lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
8 years ago I posted this and now I'm learning about Entropy in Biology 101
I feel like skipping down the street to this song 😍❤️
Love Grimes and Bleachers, come to Mexico Soon!!!
Thanks for playing this GIRLS ❤️
her voice is beautiful
Yeah, it's okay... Mostly glad to see Grimes is still experimenting.
I guess it is out of her typical boundaries but in no way is this experimenting
8bitDude0 Definitely not "experimental"
+Mauricio She is experimenting by not experimenting. Have you heard Grimes before? She has always been experimental. By leaning less towards these roots she is coming out of her comfort zone sooo.
Brendan O Yeah that dubstep track she dropped not too long ago was very experimental.
amo esta canción ♡
first new song I've liked a lot in awhile....
her voice is so clear :D
love it! grimes voice>>
amazing!! still makes me dream! claire is such a god artist! so versátile and unique.
congratulations! 3♥
this song is great
Can't wait to see grimes June 23rd! 😍😄
This song has been playing at my job for months and I never knew it was grimes until now
+Victoria Smith I work at Verizon Wireless and they play it there too. I kinda wish they didn't :( bc I dont want to associate Grimes with working
youre right!! lol but I figured it out until after I quit I worked at pier 1
i listen to this once a day
HER VOICE IS SO SWEEEET OMFG IS GREAT
The lyrics of the chorus just ring too true to life. Add Grimes' voice to this and it is simply magical! #nerd #science #life #love
The ultimate existential crisis.
It's so much more upbeat from Grimes normal stuff, and I love it. I love her darker music of course, but this is refreshing and something I can listen to in the mornings. Go Grimes.
Such an underrated song 😢
BEAUTIFUL FOREVER
In hindsight, this foreshadowed Art Angels perfectly
GIRLS brought me to Grimes!! What an amazing artist ♡
I love this so much!
This song makes me high in a good way :)
is there a bad way?
+ChivantriloInc.
Salvia?
Claire's voice is so gorgeous, god
i love this!!!
i love it so much
I love it beautiful lyrics and nice emotions:)
people it dont matter that this is not her way of music, cause Hello Idiots, this is Bleachers, she singing great in this song. its like saying a Singer goes Runway for a designer... its just something they were told to do and agreed.
