Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
‘I can’t be that basic from an ego perspective.’ That’s completely honest and hilarious.
They are known to be heavy crackheads by the way. Legally and publicly both Elon Musk and Grimes. Below a link to some evidence.
"I'm so much more comfortable alone" literally me
Everyone
Its better to blame yourself when you make a mistake
WEY YOOOO
To a fault
@@thetacoguyy woh! Amazing revelation, bro. 😶😣👌✌
she shouldn't feel bad to make money off that song, but if it makes her uncomfortable she can donate the revenue of that particular song to an addiction-related charity.
Love it. Thank you for this comment ♡
Yeeeeeeees
You're a man of great ideas!
She feels bad in a sense that the song seems really mainstream, clean and "made for money", like pop music in big labels. Not just because of the fact that she's simply gaining money from it.
i think it's justified to feel bad abt profiting from a song abt addiction.
Grimes is so authentically herself and that’s what I love most about her
Grimes is so unauthetically herself and that’s what I dislike most about her
Sometimes it seems everyone tries to be "themselves" so much. Sometimes that seems limiting to me. Why can´t we be more than ourselves?
@@pewishjrivilege896 You say that like it's a bad thing.

Mental illness is not bad?
🤔
oblivion is prob the most vulnerable grimes song
what is it about,
@@CapeEniEer it's about assault
i think is skin tbh
One of them probably! That & world princess
She never mentioned the banjo in Oblivion though
She seems to have such a great personality. Can also here her genius when she talks.
One of the smartest pop artists around. Grimes is the future of music production
hear*
Elon is a lucky man
They*
She’s just so cool. She inspires me to be myself without shame.
Amen she wants you to let out the strangeness
Somebody closed to her died and she's still so strong. I admire that about her
Actually several people close to her died. Others from overdoses too and one from suicide :'(
The more I watch interviews of her, the more I love her. 💕
The more I watch interviews of her, the more I love myself
She seems so down to earth
Clare is just so normal I think she even struggles with her alter ego Grimes.
Black Knight Fool ew stop commenting this! It’s not good karma to wish others harm.
@@katiesigmon596 press the button to delete his comment. Only with a lot of people doing that yt wil delete it.
I AM SO HAPPY GRIMES DROPPED THE ALBUM TO THE END OF THE WORLD
my god the violin, the banjo, the guitar, the vOCALS. Delete forever absolutely SENDS me bro
I love how the interviewer just let her talk and he just said things like "wow"
'Do you play real instruments, or is it all just digital?', such a great question, and she answered it so graciously
no one gonna comment on her beating a creepy guy with a banjo??
If you know about her that's no surprise. She was physically assaulted in the past (check out the song "Oblivion", which is about that}, so if you come at her now and she's got something to use so it doesn't happen again, she'll smash your head with it.
@@mitchellbaker9434 Is that a fact or something you guess it happened 'cause of the song? Just asking...
betty black I can’t find the interview ! :(
@@foxtrotecho9530 it's a fact...
What an amazing Brain. I would like to be a fly on the wall and listen to a Musk/Grimes conversation.... probably wouldn't understand a word they said...I don't speak Extraterrestrial...
Her nose looks so cute, she’s glowing. Grimes is the whole package, so talented and her personality is the best 💗💗💗
isnt she pregnant? its the pregnancy glow!
You need to eat.
Daisy Lou Misaki Dondu
? 😂
@@marixcx They sound starved..
Grimes is incredibly intelligent, educated, a talented musician and director, but.. "her nose is cute" ..
Get interesting! Read a book or something 🙄
Daisy Lou Misaki Dondu People who are one dimensional are always fixated on looks.
"artificially make it feel more organic"
Honestlyl, I think that's my favorite quote ever from now on
That comment she made wouldn't have made sense to me before, but now my s/o is a producer & does things like that. 😆 It's really interesting actually what people can do with a sound bite or loop.
I usually just listened to her stuff, but I'm just now watching her interviews & she gets more and more interesting (than she already was) with each one.
I’m glad she does everything herself, I know she does some collabs and works a lot with her brother Mac, but it’s cool to enjoy art that’s all her own.
if that guy wouldn’t have followed her like that, Grimes would’ve been a country artist 😯
But we wouldn't have visions😢
@@gluedglued1252 Visions Banjo version 😜
I bet whatever she did would have still been equally perfect though!
Fate stepped in and thank goodness...lolll
michelle torok omg 🤣
I wanna see this unedited
Daniella Moreno completely agree
Omg yes
I love how much exposure she’s getting, she’s literally the best artist of our generation
this is actually one of my favorite tracks from miss anthropocene, the origin is really heart breaking and I like that it’s a depart from her more dance and electronic tracks
Noelle 0hacks for a second I thought you said favourite snacks
Beating a man with a banjo you just bought is honestly the most grimes thing I could ever think off
Grimes always speaks to people and personal experiences. When I first heard Oblivion and found out it was about assault it just broke me down and made me raw but in a good way. I think her music helps people confront their traumas.
I really wish they did more with this series. The whole facetime style is a cool idea but the execution with these random animation bits feels quite random. What happened to tying it all together? Remember the Shape of You diary? Looking forward having a reason to watch these rather than just listen to them.
I liked the editing! It's my first time watching this series and I thought it was a neat little quirk.
Yeah I agree! I thought the vfx and animation were kind of off in my opinion and took me out of the interview in a way that's not very effective?
that would be abit too expensive to produce a video like shape of you or where are you now
Am I crazy or does her shirt underneath look like bacon?
Funny for someone who's probably some kind of vegan
No 😂 i think the same
Now I can’t unsee it 🙈
@@aintgotnoname6548 she's not vegan now.
The shirt isn’t bacon.... it’s Asai
I have been searching for more of her interviews her music is amazing elon is lucky
The fact that she likes AKIRA makes me like her even more.
Micah Buzan doesn’t everyone love Akira though?
When I found out that she loves games and anime (and a lot of them I love too) I was absolutely over the MOON!
Protect Grimes at all costs!
7:44 when you feel your baby’ movements but then realize that it’s just burping issue
She looks like she's in a really good place despite losing so many friends - well done her.
I think that she’s maturing more and coming more into herself and the new stage she’s in life.
i love this woman so wholeheartedly
Grimes casually explaining the power of art, myth and fiction besides her song.
I had no idea who this was. But I am blown away.
she's the mother of Elon Musk's kid.
Leotique she is so much more than that
@@ilean7499 I know, but would that help if I explained it to that person ? Many people know Elon.
I love her voice more stripped back. You can here the vulnerability. Like I'm entropy with bleachers
This song reminds me of Entropy a lot actually. The looped acoustic guitar + her vocal delivery make them similar
no one:
grimes: i burped only one or two times in my whole life
Delete Forever is helping me find a voice to my own vices. I still get stuck on that rut but I’m glad I have something I can relate to
Grimes’ laugh gets me. It’s so infectious. I laugh along with her
girl these videos r a lil over edited. it can be just a conversation u know
i can just feel the board meetings that went into designing this.... chile
@@benjaminsagar5008 For a PR stunt
journbalist: carefully monitoring his facial expressions
moderately wealthy/famous recording artist: doing a weird almost burp that mae it look like she was gona throw up and then brush it off
Uhm that's the New York Times video article and editing
As someone who’s never heard the song before, I’m kind of glad that the editing supported what they were saying. From an outside perspective I’m glad the video didn’t drag on idk
This woman is an ICON. She is an independent artist and this song is amazing. ❤️
Rance Burger ?
@Rance Burger You treat it as If all women were one person.
The clip at the end is such a contrast...I’m talking about the other artists😳
Do you play real instruments, or is it all just digital?', such a great question, and she answered it so graciously
It's like the spirit of music was protecting you in the form of that banjo. Love you so much Grimes.
“AKIRA IS A PERFECT PIECE OF ART” I have no choice but to stan no matter what she named her kid
This song helps me feel less alone with my emotions surrounding my sister's death due to overdose.
i am so sorry for your loss :’(
hey sandi♡ sending love vibes your way ♡♡♡♡
This was a great interview, thank you for holding space for her to speak and responding to where she led the conversation! I loved the genuine concern from the interviewer at the end, turns out it’s just a burping concern and that’s even better lol.
yessss the banjo is my favorite bit!
This was such a great video/interview. Grimes always gets me thinking and inspires me. She is simply amazing in every way.
Grimes knows we are all just people...no one's better than anyone else. Do.no.harm. Love eachother. If woke af were still.a.thing.
She’s gonna be an amazing mom.
She is so interesting. i just love her so much.
i love the stories she adds in between explanations of the song.
The New York Times goes and makes an interview with Grimes, then turns volume down or cover her voice with beeping sound every time she is being authentic. nice touch.
"artificially make it feel more organic" literally EVERY producer does this- with multiple different things e.g drums, automation, velocity, etc etc but he kinda laughed at her as if she was dumb for saying it?
i didn't care for the interviewer, especially his haughty attitude
delete forever is my favorite song of all time (at least right now). it’s hard to say that it’s my favorite grimes song because it’s so different from grimes’ usual sound.
i understand why she never released "David" now after what she said about feeling gross about selling delete forever. Still could have put it out for free though :'(
I love how layered Grimes' songs are, and I love her style. I think it was cool to hear exactly what was being talked about, I think it added to the experience. I liked this form of vid editing!
She genuinely cared about what he thought about her music 🤯 Grimes has a way of making you feel like she's your bud ❤❤
0:02 honestly jumpscare why she pop up on camera like that 😭 queen make Art Angels part 2 🛐🙏
Bro that banjo story had me hysterical 💀💀
Grimes (Claire) is a wonderful modern day example of a successful pioneering woman, current day. Her source blueprints vs finished product are immensely artistic/original, masterful. She's a bundle of joy to observe/listen to. I put her up there with dido, haim, lights, hayley williams, most of which are actually Non-US, of the 21st.
The fact that you mentioned HAIM & Lights 👌. They're still so underrated. Light's comic and album concept, and what she did with the Instagram pages to help create that world, was very unique.
Finally the banjo is addressed YAAAS
She is so humble, sweet and talented. She’s going to be an amazing mom🤍
My favorite laugh ever. And omg best interview of Grimes I’ve ever seen.
Wow these comments are toxic. I love this song so much.
are they? 99% of what i see is positive
@@leiasart4610 - I hate fake comments like these that lie & pretend there's negativity. They're on every positive video, and they're all just attention-seeking for likes & comments. It's best to ignore them.
Her laugh is cute hmmm Elon lucky. Guy
He's lucky he'll get away from her once the 420 trial is over and done with. She'll be deleted forever and forgotten
Yeis exactly! I’ve been noticing this person everywhere on Grimes’ “stuff” & they seem pretty unwell. They should be more worried about themselves than someone who doesn’t even know they exists. Just seems rather stalker-ish.
@@katiesigmon596 they seem to be mentally unstable to me, just like that one lady on yt who literally only makes videos about how Grimes is a liar. Being obsessed with someone we don't even know personally is unhealthy.
@@freeelonmuskfromgrime804 What are you talking about?
wow, as a 60 year old, I don't know your music, or you, this came up next and I am so glad it did. wonderful interview .
I love the last line of this, "just like Grimes"
i wonder if grimes knows she's a magician.
"I can't be that basic, from an ego perspective" AHAHA I LOVE HER
I really reallly like Grimes. I went to 5 funerals while in a rehab for 7 months. The rehab wasn't a lockdown type so you could come and go as you please. Our teacher and my sponsor made us go, we had to go up and look at them and made us go and pay their mom respect. It was a way to scare us I guess. It made me so depressed because they were all so young, and I would see my son laying there because I almost lost him to addiction. It's not a game, it's very real.
Music is her passion, emotions n imagination for expression n balance. Healing to her
I pray for her - God may find her for healing her soul not broken to feel god's love with security n satisfaction , joy of love n life.
Grimes is lovely. She is telling the grief I think from nsrcissist love abuse - may God heals her with His divine love for restoration.
Grimes is the gift that keeps on giving, I could listen to her speak all day
Does she have a little lisp?
I love this kid!
Yeah she mentioned it before
not a kid. she's 32 lol
Well thats fukken awkward
Her explaining the violin just made my life so much easier
This is pertinent. Been waiting for Grimes' upcoming stuff.
I think she used the love Glastonbury version of the song Oblivion to ellicit the surreal terror of an assault, perhaps as she experienced in a dream. Also perhaps she dated Elon Musk to get over her fear of men she mentioned.
Love her. Shes amazing
"i just feel so much more comfortable on my own" 😔 i felt that
5:40 I was peeing and when the water started dripping I thought I was peeing on my phone.
THIS COMMENT SENT ME
Maybe don't hold your phone in the toilet while you pee
Interesting how this interview was conducted before the music video was released but it still came out long afterward. I really enjoy Grimes' authenticity.
“Oho it’s nice and mushy now”
Grimes is amazingly beautiful on so many levels...
The banjo story is wild! Im such a shy dude and I don't ever hit on women so when i first heard how crazy it is for women this day in age I was mind blown! Every girl probably has one banjo story to tell and thats crazy to me.
the music video is so pretty i really like its simplicity and impact it hass
Love the song. The whole album for that matter
Banjo sacrificed in self defence ..... Ultimate punk artistry !!! 👩🏽🎤🤟🖤✨
Saaaaaaameeeee people dont belive me when i say idk how to burp
I love this human being.
The thing is that the song is so beautiful but the lyrics is so sad and heavy, I love this connection betwin beauty and tradic. She's a freaking genius!!
I'm imagining some quiet introverted guy that just happened to catch the same train as Grimes & live in the same building being beaten with a banjo & not knowing why...🤔
she is lovely
I like how each video in this series has its own aesthetic language, it's really cool. This one with the huge lyrics and the black and white vibrations around the frame of her face.
Lost Jimmy wopo my best friend who was about to get signed by wiz khalifa day, or two after he was killed.. I've had so many deaths, and my father too.. I can't get over it, and it's turned me into a shell of a human. I have no purpose, especially being disabled..
I could listen to Grimes talk all day
Well he didn't add anything to this conversation
Agreed.
Idk sometimes being a good interviewer is just allowing your subject to talk, most of his questions where edited out anyways. The fact that all the artists are clearly at ease when they talk to him speaks to his credit.
He didn't need to, she said it all.
I'm glad he didn't. What a great interviewer. I don't like it when the interviewers are more interested in themselves talking (joe Rogan with elon musk interview). This guy on the hand, let her be herself
I am slowly realizing that she used to be the Billie Eilish of my generation.
What 💀
Unapologetically herself, I love her
I would play violin for free if it were for grimes 💖
i appreciate how well this is edited
When asked why she wouldn't hire other musicians to do her sound bits and she said it's just because she's more comfortable working alone, I felt that.
