#PlayerofGames #Grimes #Book1
“If I loved him any less I’d make him stay” that hit me so hard. Loving someone enough to know that holding onto them means losing who they truly are, so you lose them either way. At least letting them go lets them go on.
THIS
I had the same thoughts about that line. Spot-on.
me and my ex :’(
As my girl Amanda Palmer said:
No one's ever lost forever they are caught inside your heart If you garden them and water them they make you what you are
Yeah, gotta let them be who they truly are - some nerd who plays Skyrim all day!
Being -figuratively- all naked for someone who's in their "armor"... Hits too close from home
Same. The guy I’ve loved for four years literally couldn’t open himself up if he tried even then he continues to say he “loves” me back.
Oh, so beautiful think
@@Shorohy I think so too
With that knife she's holding? Can't fault anyone wearing their armour
Oh my gosh you are so right how did I not catch that? I feel like I've been there so many times with emotionally unavailable men happens to women all the time ☹😤
I love this song. It isn't a diss track like people say it is at all. Its about loving someone so much that you let them go to focus on fufulling their life's purpose instead of focusing all their time and passion on you like you would deeply desire for them to.
I agree 100%. There's also the titular Banks novel reference, the innate femininity... people are just too caught up in politics these days.
It's a multi-pronged attack. It's a brilliant strategy from her. I think you are correct but it gives her plausible deniability while keeping the TMZ crew engaged.
she after dat coin 🪙 lol
Who tf thinks this is a diss track
And it matches so well with her and Musk saying they still love eachother but are semi separated due to Musks very demanding work
Also, can we appreciate the lower register she is singing in? She's never sung this low. I know she hates singing, and it seems like she's been working on her voice. If so, it shows.
dude, the tone-drop is so significant in her musical career, really shows an evolved depth, this relationship was beautiful to see unfold
i always thought it was autotune, but done correctly, instead of overtly
@@dream9831 totally agree
maybe she's finally found a way to make that pleasant for herself with the lower register! I can empathize as I have a pretty high pitch of voice myself and singing in a lower tone makes it less awful for me to hear my own sound.
@@lowwastehighmelanin I get that. Im an alto so I have to drop her songs a few octaves when Im singing along. I cant imagine how anyone can comfortably sing that high, but thats just because its not my comfort zone. This has been so pleasant, even if its a small selfish thing lol.
This song is actually quite sad. Love the meaning behind it and always love her sounds.
Would you mind sharing your interpretation? If not that's ok
@@GoldenMinotaur that sounds cool
@@GoldenMinotaur Thought it was presumptuous to assume she could make him stay when adventure beckons;
she can't follow suit as she needs to stay behind to care for the children and protect the earth Mrs. Anthropocene
Her Love is pure and Unconditional ~ She's not forcing him to be here
Couldn't keep you in your place;
But can't you love me Like that?
Can't you need me; Like that?
Noting his dependency; without her he will most likely die "To the Cold Expansion of Space"
She's also holding a Dagger behind her back; which is ominous to say the least....
@@hellfrost333 could be used to cut her attachment to him, a knife is not always a weapon
This feels like a new style of grimes with the pure digital feeling but also a call back to old grimes with her vocals
She always has the best concepts I swear
Personally I liked her previous music more. Now the lyrics seems to be overly simplistic, lack of symbols and atmosphere. There is no mystery. Musically it even more popish than ever before.
this doesn't sound like her old over-reverbed music at all it's literally just a generic house pop track
@John Richner right 💯💯
@@ps5hasnogames55 damn you're really invested in watching everything she does even though you don't like it
Everyone is saying this is a diss track. I believe its not. Its about loving someone so much that you would do anything to see them happy even if you are not in the picture. At the same time you still have that painful longing for them to love you the way that you love them. Beautiful, Grimes.
agreed, not a diss, not at all.
@@dream9831 And lets remember that Grimes is a nerd. She definitely have being in a "player" position herself.
@@MaxStoryTeller92 deeefinitely! when I think of Grimes, i think, Music, then Gamer, :) Hence why she fell in love with the worlds greatest gamer, and the lyrics hit so deep
Of course this isn't a diss track but a song inspired by the book Player of Games, but it's cool to find some similarities between the book and her life
@@Sarc0nExactly, the similarities are there. No one is denying it. But people is making it seem more dramatic than it probably is. And taking advantage to make statements against gamers.
I know this is a lyric video and the real music video is coming soon but honestly if this was only video she made for this track i wouldnt mind. The simple imagery of her being "vulnerable" to someone strong but unfeeling, her knife in hand to attack conveys the story the song tells perfectly.
I love all the symbolism in this, especially how shes naked and holding the player, very much in love and activly giving him love while he stands there in a full suit of armor, not touching her, not even tilting his head forward to show any love towards her. his hands stay on his sword and by his side. The one sided love she must have felt, but it could be an act as she keeps herself armed and ready for an attack.
A 1 observation my guy.
Perfect observations
100% - however, I think the sword shows hatred/animosity.
The woman is also holding a knife behind her back, which means there is a possibility that she can hurt the knight. Hence the armor? To save himself from any kind of pain that he may or may not come across.
wondering about the binary looking values, was curious but doesn't seem to decode to nothing - 000011001110000001101001101010010000110011100000011010011010
she's naked, like, surrendering completely to this "man", but the dagger hidden in her back shows us that she's always ready and waiting for something. so fucking cool.
also, not a simple man, an armored one, that doesn't let her true love go through his armour.
Typical wife of Elon's many wifes!
have you seen lil riding hood there is not Grimes there
or,league of legends
@@dantesinfernoceccillyyprou5719 sorry?
Grimes talking and Grimes producing music is like she is translating her fast paced mind into beats and somehow it all makes sense
her shidded brian 🧠 lol
Listened to this on repeat for 3 hours today. Great emotional lyrics, very danceable, love the early 2000s trance vibes. Thank you, Grimes.
same! on repeat. dancing and wobbling with feels
Yes! This & violence always fills so nostalgic to early 2000 edm .
It's more like House music but yeah
I really feel for her because the lyrics don't seem salty like a lot of breakup songs. Maybe those are coming but this feels more genuine to me
I agree - there’s no spite, only sorrow. I can feel her heartbreak.
Perhaps it’s not even about her breakup. The song literally describes the plot of the SciFi classic “Player of Games” by Iain M Banks
@@GoldenMinotaur I think is both, if it was only the book, there would be no reason for her to love the player of games.
@@lordskysixss good point, not much of a love story. Unconventional sex yes, love, not so much haha
Nice euphemism for "bad lyrics"
She deserves a red-blooded human with a big loving heart.
@@BlackSheepNara go cry yourself to sleep 🤷🏼♂️
@@RocketDescends not all of us worship celebrities, Heather.
No more gamers for grims
And not a super-villian hell bent on not just world domination, but Mars, moon and Galaxy as well.
@@devil69goddess Super-villain, roflmao. Yeah, because trying to save humanity by developing efficient space travel is definitely the territory of super-villains...
love this song 💖
✨✨✨!!!
aww you cutie with great taste 😍
72/73
Love u
@@EvilYevin no aint
A woman accepts to make herself vulnerable in love. Feeling small, naked and fragile in front of a man who most oftens keeps his armor on, never accepting to make himself vulnerable to anything. Not even love. But every strong and intelligent woman knows the secret to loving a man. Make him feel powetful by appearing smaller and weaker than him...all the while keeping a secret weapon hidden to protect herself always. This secret weapon is the spear of destiny. The one who will succeed in finding it hidden in her heart, will hold the keys to her Universe. It takes years but only a true Hero can succeed. Some heros are destined for something else than love.
this was illuminating, thank you
wow. goosebumps
funniest shit i ever seen
@@intothenight528 watch your back
It's sad because maybe the reason that the man keeps his armor on is to protect against the dagger, none of them can fully meet until they can trust each other and clearly they never can
she really said "this is for anyone who dated a gamer guy" and i needed this. thank you grimes
Lol what?? I guess we're all the same 😂 good song tho
they have their day job/school. if they have an almost all encompassing need/addiction in their afternoons and evenings, nothing will change that
@@GotoMaki4Micah Lmfao you know there are healthy ppl that can balance their lives. Grimes makes bangers and I love her vibe and aesthetic but y'all r weird haha
i think the game is just a reference there. According to grimes' opinion, work life is a game. Thats why I think she refers to Elon's work life
My very first boyfriend in high school played some video games. At the time I would just smash a bunch of buttons on the controller because I didn’t know how to use it. 😂 Later on I taught myself because of that.
I feel when I watch this that this woman understands and reflects. Loving cold hard metal. The computer. The man. Always prepared with her swords to protect her.
My swords you mean ..
so true!
Yeah I’ve watched this video 200xs already
This the best comment so far. I've come back to it more than 10 times already.
So, does it feel like that to love an Android? A robot?
I love that we're in the universe where we have a love song about the most techy dude in the world
Best comment
I guarantee he is not
Beautiful Game !
Is he techy? He comes across as an ignorant douche lately. Probably just pays people to make him look smart.
Even though this is "just" a lyrics video, I'm actually finding it hard to imagine how it could be topped. It's so perfect in its simplicity while at the same time being heavily loaded with all kinds of symbolism. Pure poetry.
This reminds me of as a follow up to IDORU "Yeah, we could play a beautiful game
We could play a beautiful game
You could chase me down the way
I wanna play a beautiful game
Even though we're gonna lose"
Omg
You're right I didn't even catch that and how they tie into each other
Same with a drug from god. “Choose your weapon to beat the game.” She loves to call life/love a game. Her mind is so beautiful to mee
sex is a game, love is a puzzle
*you could chase me down in the name of love (not down the way)
Claire is one of the most creative, original artists of this generation
But this is not her creation though
@@dantesinfernoceccillyyprou5719 not trying to disregard the team behind this. ultimately her artistic vision fuels the art and projects of Grimes
She truly is
@@dantesinfernoceccillyyprou5719 her mind is behind all of this. chill
@@lewienew she also was exposed by poppy in 2018 for forcing songwriters and producers to sign non-disclosure agreements meaning their names don't go on the credits so did she reeeeally write it and coproduce it? ;)
this song on Fate: The Winx Club Saga was GOLD
I can't stop playing this on repeat
i can't believe i've been a grimes fan for nearly a decade now and she's still staying true to herself and releasing banger after banger!! so much love and respect for this fellow vancouver girl
same!
I respect grimes’ pace in releasing music but I can’t deny the happiness I get every time she finally releases something ahhhh finally 🤍⚔️
Yes i cant wait for shinigami eyes
@@katarinailic1095 she should probably cut that out of the album lmaooo
Can't wait for the music video and of course shinigami eyes
It's mostly because of her labels, they want to control her and doesn't let her release music freely, she even talked about it on Twitter
Yeees
I've never listened to her before, as it's not really my taste...but this song's a banger! I've been blasting it in my car for the past week
Art Angels...thank me later
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 Yeah, Art Angels is a great album. In my opinion the last GREAT album she's made to this point. The albums after are way inferior to me.
Beautiful. This video and the underlying messages it portrays in a artistic metaphorical delivery is kind of moving. I’m so excited for the rest of the album!
I hate how the media is calling this song a "roast". Its a beautiful expression of her love for someone that wont love her back. Thats not a roast, thats art. Thats expression. This is why teaching the arts is just important as teaching math and science. Society is deaf and blind to the arts.
Sunday roast is wholesome!
@@zybergis what?
Here to spread the good word, she's also singing from the perspective of the lover of the "Player of Games" in the Banks book by the same title :)
The same series that has heavily influenced Elon's work. A lot more depth to it than people are seeing.
@@NightTimeDay wow. Thank you for that. That adds a lot more meaning. Such a great song.
@@christeenabean659 np 😊 if you happen to be into sci-fi i would recommend the series. Just get through the first book. Banks was an early writer then, his writing improves immensely after that, then the series really takes shape. Gives a lot of interesting context to the present state of affairs--beyond the common political takes for and against space colonization--as it's influenced Bezos's vision of the future as well.
Grimes goes above and beyond. Even the richest man in the world couldn't get on her level.
this is my song.
If you take your fan brain out of it, he wouldn’t stay on her level.
@@patrickdrinkstomuch8161 if you wanna put it like that, he already stooped to her level.
@@patrickdrinkstomuch8161 The man has no manners nor heart. Grimes is too pure for him.
The poors will never look within to solve their problems.
wow.. I can really feel your love for him. This song reminds me of being a human being. First time listening to your music, I feel it and I like it, Thank you!
Such an outstanding creation.
Finally she is back with the same spirit and talent of 10 years ago
This evokes such a unique dually nostalgic and futuristic vibe that I’m immediately floored. The way her hand traces the omnipresent figure while the camera pans around them is so captivating. Even her lyric videos are extraordinary. • *floats off into space listening to this song* •
i felt the same thing, its the small details like the hand moving and eyes that have so much to share. appreciate your comment
Fully agree! These small details are very telling and carry so much emotion. Nice that you saw/felt it, too.💙
Simping hard
It kinda has the 2010's influence
The floating debris is also very reminiscent of Legend.
she's finally back n didnt disappoint this was outstanding
💀😭
@@swans7618 tf u doing here
this is boring edm pop crap
tf r ur ears
@@ps5hasnogames55 right! I’m extremely disappointed.
Grimes(Claire), whether you see this or not, your music helped me get through a difficult time in my life. This was years ago when I first heard "Oblivion." It's hard to pick just one but if I had to I'd say it's still my favorite.
This song is so good
Thanks Fate
Baby
Would you still love me
Out on Europa
Or will you forget?

thx for posting the lyrics... on a lyrics video.
Thnx it was hard for me to see the tiny green lyrics❤

@@ps5hasnogames55 PLEASEE
you deserve only the best, grimes.
I can see all the enemies and bosses I've defeated all these years on games..and this song is perfect
The visuals are everything
It’s a video, so yea without the visuals it would just be the song
I am in love with it tbh
No. The song is. The visual is only it's accompaniment.
@@Nicolas.Vincent Okay? I like both the song and the visuals.
You can really feel the sadness in this song... but I still cant get enough of it. The beat and the lyrics are so well written.
well written for a chainsmokers song
The lyrics? We didn't listen to the same song, it was better before I listened to the words
Feel the sadness? hahahaaa :) Funny. It seems you have never heard any really emotional song or piece before. It is a shitty emotionless electronic crap.
@@martonandorka It's almost as if people have different opinions and process emotions in different ways. Get your head out of your ass and let people be
Same. It hurts but it's also such a beautiful song.
This song has a sort of Peace vibe to it, and then it turns into a powerful beat, feels like a theme for a powerful main character.
She knows him well, probably more than he would like. When he grows old, and realizes he threw love away for a dream, one can hope he at least feels sad about it. The love of his kids, the love of all who ever loved him, gone in the depth es of time, replaced by sadness, loneliness, and regret, but by then it will be far too late.
It’s impossible for her to disappoint
💀
Not really
She been doing only that for the past 2 years
I really under estimated her with the new sound, I thought it was going to be some trashy electronic album but I loved this song, but maybe I only do because my expectations for it were so low
the lyrics dissapoint but the sound is heavenly. i just pretend its simlish
This was so good - reminded me of 2000s electronica and night core 🥺
This!
Total DDR vibes!
Retro electro
POV: you’re here after winx
Honestly this song is addicting and chilling I love it
Wow I feel like this is such a sad song despite the tempo. She's literally singing about her life and she's not even exaggerating. Estranged Husband is going to space and her asking how do I measure up to that. Great song! I want to give her a hug.
They're not estranged, plus you gotta realize that this also a song sung from the perspective of a character in a book by Banks (same title as the song). Definitely about her actual relationship, but don't be too sad. This is a typical Grimes character-brought-to-life situations, too.
"Go to space with him" is the obvious answer.
oh stop. lol.
Hug for.... Her not being happy that he made her live not like a billionaire and that she ate peanut butter for days straight? They're both insane rich people, she'll be fine
Sure. But we all went to space when we first heard her music. She has talent and is a pretty special person. He's just an egotist who comes from extreme privilege. I don't know what she ever saw in him.
Love how this answers pretty much every privat question that invasive journalists have for her through art. This is a reflected, vunerable and mature response. Well, deceptively vunerable at least - she is naked, leaning against a huge iron knight - but with a hidden dagger, she is not done, she is not helpless on her own, she will come out on top.
From a musical standpoint, its signature technocracy era Grimes with almost nostalgic Eurodance influence ? I love it, but also look forward to more complex production on a new Album.
You summed it up perfectly. I personally think the next Grimes album will be her best yet, just based on her recent experiences and of course, this insanely good track.
I completely agree with everything you just said. The nostalgia and “deceptive” vulnerability in this song is so cool. But I also look forward to a more complex sound from her album. She’s gotta put out some hits though. Those more complex songs don’t tend to make hits. I would “love” your comment instead of “like” it if I could. Lol
It’s synthwave
🖤
Any updates on her alter ego DARK or is she just a one track musician to grimes?
I've lost count of how many times i've listened to this song this week...
it's like my brain won't stop playing it..
tee hee hee

same
Okay boomer
Right??
We are two *Armenian/Turkish sisters* making our own *Oriental & Hypnotic* music. Grimes is a true inspiration for us when it comes to staying true to your art.
It would be amazing if you'd watch our new video for *'Gonul Yarasi'* on our channel. Thank you so much x
I’m loving those The Persistence of Memory nails she’s got going. To me, Grimes is a ray of Cosmic Star Dust…..beautiful ✨
Im literally OBSESSED. Now we just need Shinigami Eyes. 😊 She always has the coolest videos 💖

Givin me 2000’s house vibes, glad to hear it 🙏
🤓
@@Brukner841 well its a good thing people don't choose music for things based on how masculine they sound. other wise there would be a lot of projects with shit sound tracks
I like the giggle at the end. She too is playing a game
I need to confess how much this song helped me to understand my last relationship...It hurts but now I understand it's just part of the growing process.
were you grimes or the knight?
This isn't just music. This is Art. This is an artist. This is Grimes. I LOVE YOUUU
no,this is me i posted this and this is my song,and my lyrics.
but music is already an art form
Clinging to the knight but with a monstrous dagger hidden.
And being emotionally mature enough to know that true love necessitates freedom.
Don't ever change, Grimes. ❤️
ugh I love this song , the lyric video vibe. I LOVE THIS ARTIST! They are the entire freaking package
Her songs are probably what aliens listen to
This song is definitely about someone working hard at their passion, and what it’s like for someone to be so enveloped in that passion that they forget to consider their partner.
But even more extreme, that passion is literally travelling the galaxy. And you don’t wanna crush someone’s passion but it’s so difficult in relationships.
I’m the other person in this song. I am so enveloped in my passion that there is nothing else in my eyes. Relationships are hard because I just can’t see anything else but the goal.
But even more so- imagine you love someone- who’s two loves are the literal galaxy and you. I’m sure we often compare ourselves to ex’s but imagine having to compare yourself to the entire galaxy.
This is such an interesting future situation.
Who could compete with that 💯
She was so vulnerable in this song. You can SEE it in the video. The passion in her eyes and the helplessness. She is torn with a heart full of love!
lowkey has she been writing about her son's dad for a while now. this one and E, L-O-V-E. Idk man. also what do those binary mean
@@saltapioggia1311 idoru as well
Hmm, interesting take. I interpreted it more as commentary about a narcissist. Moving on to something/somebody else the moment they think they "won".
It's simply beautiful how Claire can blend her emotions so well into her art. The lyrics, visuals, production, tone, all of it has such an apparent investment placed into it. If you are'nt stanning Claire at this point what are you even doing; respectfully :)
what ,thats my art
You mean Grimes. Grimes is the artist, you don't know Claire.
Yeah just call her Grimes, man. Calling her Claire is a bit weird.
@@SmileyInc800 is it really that big of a deal? From what I've seen they don't like any of they're names, so maybe I should have called them C; the name they chose most recently. Grimes is a stage persona and name but I feel like recently C has been more personally connected to they're writing. Just something I've noticed.
Winx Saga
Me and one of my best friends have such different tastes in music but grimes is something we can both agree on ..always 💖🙏
imagine listening to this song in a rave omg 😩😩
Gonna ask my bartender to play it tomorrow lol
@@CandyNecklace6 OMG do it !!! 🤩
That's not rave music lol.
@@KimahEye you are entitled to your own opinion lol
I've never ever heard that type of music in actual raves, nor would I have ever thought about Grimes being rave music (maybe "Go", a bit) but I don't know, maybe we're from different places and there's differences.
Mark Twain is famously quoted as saying "write what you know", and with that in mind it is no mystery who this song is about. My only hope is that in her time spent with the not such a mystery man is that she didn't focus all her energy outward and that she at least spent some time focusing her energies inward and was able to explore and discover more of herself because, in my opinion, she is much more a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
that ... was insanely creepy
I agree, she's just putting into the song what she's learned and experienced with this said person and definitely moving with a self awareness about it, I'm not sure if any of that made sense (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
I feel like they’re still together lowkey 😩
Yes but mark twain also said: "there once was a man named nigger jim".. so i don't know if all the things he said were perfectly awesome
I hope we all spend some time focusing our energies inward. Who are we? What are we? What causes our unintentional behavior? How deep do our wounds go? What is our ultimate potential? ... Each and every person is an enigma.
I just noticed the rocket launch sample tone at the very beginning. IDEK how many times I've listened to this.
Poignant.

Glad SOMEONE is eating then.
Beautiful way to handle the end of a relationship.
I'm telling you people that future generation will like grimes music
I love this, it’s got such a 90s trance vibe
Playing the game will always result in a winner and a loser, no boundaries leads to endless pain, never give up your identity, guard your heart dear one, the song is very melancholic with touch of hopelesness 💜
I don’t feel melancholy at all out of this, tragedy yes, but not pain, not a loss of identity. Just tragedy
I think knowing your identity is a very rare and special wisdom. People play endless games with that; identifying with their intellect and their trauma... We don't teach people to find their actual identity, their true power. People who go inside are questioned on their productivity and mental health. People who share their inner journeys are often met with awkward conversation roadblocks. Our society dismisses the subjective and mistakes strength for weakness. We've got it all backwards. Identity is everything.
@Jacqui Difference is she wouldn't use it.
The lyrics are so sad but this is a bop
Grimes you've done it again with a song and video that describes a situation I was just dealing with. Like the imagry and concept and everything.... ugh! Wild...
i love everything about this song and video. such a simple action(?) accompanied with the lyrics brings so much more meaning behind the whole thing

Big thanks for the effort to write them down 👍
@@temporariamenteana So in other words, you don't know why you did it.
So ready for the new Era of Grimes

I publicly apologize for taking this long in discovering this awesomesauce artist
Imagine Grimes being so intuitively ahead of her times that mainstream pop music in the future will sound like this
Her music calms me so much. Whenever I'm having a bad day her voice chills me out.
Lmfao 😂 at your sam l jackson profile pic. Gave me a good chuckle
Love that line “if I loved him any less, I’d make him stay”, powerful!
It's a sad song, but yeah this line is powerfull by its sad reality of her moment life maybe
I’m lost can you translate?
@@gracie99999 sure. You know the saying "if you love someone, let them go" in this case they're saying that they love him so much that they know it would be wrong and selfish to try and keep him for themselves.
I wish someone would look at me like he stares into the cold, dark void.
Got this on repeat 💓💓
This is a sad song but I still want to dance to anything Grimes creates 🎶
This hits as a final cry for love that was never fully realized or reciprocated
so sad
I feel like you're right, this isn't a breakup song.. At the end of the day, how can it be? They have a child together.. They're eternally linked by that child now.. This is her reaching out in the best way she knows how to... This is a masterpiece showing of the feminine energy working through its whole toolkit to secure what it loves..... I'm in awe.
This is the closest I've ever been to my fantasy of being naked up against The Lich King. Thank you Grimes 🤍
Quem aí veio pela transformação das Winx? Kkk😍😂❤💅🏽
euuu, urruuuuuhh!!!!
Já amava antes! Na hora da cena eu pulei do Sofá!!

“If I loved him less I’d make him stay”
Is the saddest line because we as the viewer know- if he wanted to be there, he would be. There is no mystery with men. If they always seem to be around you, they’re into you.
If they move several states away, even though they have a personal corporate jet, they’re no longer interested in you that way. They have moved on.
@Wilhelm Eley LOL. They’re not star crossed lovers. My point was, he has a private jet, he could still be in a relationship with her if he wanted. I see girls do this, create these logic pretzels in their minds. It’s delusional and a waste of her time, especially as he’s the type to come around again when he gets bored….
I also felt from those lyrics that if she did love him any less then she would've made him stay, marry him, and then divorce him for billions.. but she didn't because she loved him and doesn't really care about the money
Don't worry, they never broke up, they've even secretly had another kid lol
@@GoldenMinotaur Actually, she said they broke up, "AGAIN." So, they have broken up and gotten back together more than once which is exactly his M.O. The child was surrogate so that doesn't necessarily speak to timing.
I can feel her pain in this song. Trying to love a man who can only love himself. We cannot change them and she has learned and understands that. Instant tears these words make so much sense. 💕grimes you’re amazing
Pain in the auto tune robot voice or the lyrics that a ghost writer wrote for her ?
@@machinegunhippy you probably think women aren't capable of making music or doing something great
I think she's talking about loving a man who loves his work more than her. Grimes is better than space.
@@alertafayermonki no it's just that this song was made by someone else (illangelo) and he's credited lol. grimes used to force songwriters to sign non-discolsure agreements meaning their names wouldn't be on the credit and it would look like grimes did it all herself but since she was exposed for that in 2018 (by poppy) now suddenly she's crediting her producers and writers ;)
@@ps5hasnogames55lots of artists use ghost writers.. It can be for a number if reasons. Usually their vocabulary is wider cuz they often studied English and or writing. Or it could be as simple as spelling.. It does not mean that the artist never worked with them on getting their feelings on paper. Beyonce for example uses multiple writers for many many songs. 7 for run the world (girls). That's not production, no that's just song Writing. And nobody gives her shit for that, telling her she is not talented for needing at least 6 others to write those lyrics. Who knows there might be ghost writers who have worked on that as well. Grimes may not have the vocal range or that fierce power woman energy she has, but in her own way, she does manage to create unique stuff with the writers and producers. If she prefers ghost writers, she can work with ghost writers. Nobody forces a ghost writing out of a writer, they get offered money in exchange for their rights to label it their work. Most writers who sign it do it because they need the money and if they are not confidant in their work making more money if they push for credit, selling your rights is the safer bet. Ghost writers have existed for ages and smaller artists have been using them for a long long time. Usually it's not till they get the top of the food chain in this industry is when ghostwriting happens much less. Cuz writers have more security in the succes of a song and are happy/proud to work with or have written for this huge artist. Don't paint Grimes of like some type of maffiosa who extorts writers after viciously using them because she has no talent.. That's not what this is, the fact that you don't like it, and you don't understand the concept of ghostwriting, does not mean she is not talented in her own way. Even if her sole talent is being weird as shit, if that brings her succes, it's still a talent. NDA's fly around when you work or hang out with any type of celebrity. It's to protect their privacy, boundaries etc. etc.
My partner said he thought this was a new Britney Spears song and now I can’t unhear it
Grimes constantly changes her mind about her old music so I’d like to imagine in a few years she’ll look back at this and hate it
Here we go!!! New era of Grimes
Miss Grimes, this is fucking superb and tells a tale of what realistic heartbreak and sacrifice is like. Im going through this...for so long now. A new era is forming. Thabk you for helping us all release emotion.
Why do I keep coming back to this song? So catchy, love it
This is no diss track. This is a broken heart track.
I'm so happy she released this, it's so personal so I would understand if she kept it to herself, but I love that she shared it
*The game she is referring to is about colonizing Mars in case you're wondering*
She is like fantasy Art ✨
Love how you can hear a rocket lift off at the beginning.
I didn’t notice that after listing to this like 100 times
