Just got this album in the mail yesterday. Been supporting Grieves since I discovered his music in 2008. This album has been on repeat since I got it. AMAZING.
I love this video the song is amazing to start with and the fact the the video is so visually stunning at the same time it makes this one of my favorite music videos by far.
WATCH Grieves' new music video for #Shreds from his upcoming album Winter & The Wolves! Tour dates for Europe and North America have also been added at bit.ly/WATWtour Winter & The Wolves drops March 25, 2014. Pre-order digital copies from iTunes at bit.ly/WATWitunes or physical copies from Fifth Element at bit.ly/WATWFE.
I really like it, and I understand you don't fix it if it aint broke, but it just sounds too similar to his past projects I'd encourage Grieves and Budo to try to go in some new directions with the production.
grieves i dont kno if u look at these comments but i hope u c this one. i wana say thank u. ur music has helped me threw hard times and continues to do so. it speeks to me it tells me to fight and not give up that life is hard but that i will get through it to keep your head up and be humble. ur a true artist and hands down the best. keep making music and sincerly thank you for saving me -cody
I absolutely mean this genuinely, since '09 when. I found your music at Soundset in Shakopee, MN, it's helped through thick and thin. many memories marked with your lyrics, anxiety cured with many tracks, you hit the heart, mind and soul for me. so thank you for your incredible music, it's meant the world to me.
Grieves is afaic the only rapper who has consistantly produced high quality music for almost 10 years now. Keep on the good work, and try to squeeze in a gig in Amsterdam.
Relating to this video so hard: Trying to make a name for myself and my future, going against odds and opinions that everyone has - I'm not stopping because I can see long-term while others in my life cant, stuck in traditional-thinking.. Thanks so much for this, Grieves. It's absolute golden-inspiration to keep me right on track! Take care! :]
I wish i had the chance to sit down with you and see how you come up with the lyrics for your songs. You are truly gifted never give up on it even if it seems horrible at times. "It can't rain all the time." :)
Yo, Grives. You should do some more videos from this album!! I know to wait for the theme to present itself opportunistically might suck but this is definitely one that would play well with retroactive videos. On that note any of your songs would. Much love and keep it up, Brother. Thank you for your music and sacrifice, you mean a lot to me despite not having been able meet you!!
when mosts of your artists are from Minnesota and Seattle area your gonna get quite a few flannels and lumberjack lookin dudes lol born n raised in Seatown and its thoroughly embedded in our culture... grunge followed the same kinda style for the most part... really glad Rhymesayers noticed the amazing talent the NW has and signed MULTIPLE acts now
I can't believe people are actually bothered to argue on a video like this. I mean, who gives a flying fuck where Hip Hop came from, look at how it is now. Who cares if its a Husky or a wolf, he got chased by a theoretical Wolf! Why can't you just sit there and enjoy the damn song. A lot of you people are lucky enough to see him live. I live in Australia and the guy doesn't seem to be coming here anytime soon. I love this guy to death, he's my number one Artist and would probably faint if I ever got to see him.
"Shreds" [Verse 1:] I don't believe in cuttin' corners Own it like a scar on the face Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place Not really the one to give God praise But if you've got the gospel, then tell me how it tastes, halleluiah Bitin' on the bullet for strength I'm a long distance runner sucker, I'm in it for length It's not a matter of whether or not you can play But a scale of if you give a fuck enough to make a statement Lay it down, separate the men from the mice Another body under halogen lights missing it's life portrait What the hell would make you think that you could judge another person For loving something so much it hurts their stomach, huh? Living by the blood in my neck With a bulls-eye tatted on the back of my head I never spoke it how they want it to be said So they left me for the winter and the wolves [Chorus:] Tear me into shreds, rip me into bits Tear another page out, punch me in the ribs I can smell the poison on your lips Whatever it is, I be willin' to bet They wanna get inside my head, tell me how it is Sittin' in a tower with a rifle and a list I can see the razor on your lips Whatever it is, I be willing to bet You shoulda held your breath [Verse 2:] I don't believe in sitting down Take it like a knife in the back You burnt out into nothing after striking a match I never been the type to follow the pack So if it's true, you got the answers, then why the hell you so mad then? Another Holy Ghost-laid script Clipped the wings off of my words and buried the shiv They wanna pick apart the passion in my ribs, I invite them Cause I don't run away from shit, lay it out Separate the guns and the flowers The minutes that go into all these hours And I bet if you were given a smidgen of just the tip of the iceberg I've had to struggle with You wouldn't act so sour, but maybe not Livin' off the fruit of my stress With a size 12 boot heel steppin' on my chest Didn't do it how they wanted it to end So they threw me to the winter and the wolves [Chorus x2]

I've known about Grieves for quite some time now, but I've never really bothered checking out any of his songs. I'm into Underground/Alternative Hip Hop (Aesop Rock, Blockhead, Cypress Hill, Dilated Peoples, Cannibal Ox, Company Flow, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Illogic, Busdriver, Blueprint, Evidence, MF DOOM, etc) and I guess subconsciously I never really gave Grieves a chance (for reasons unknown). So I click on this video, and I instantly fall in love with it. I checked out a couple interviews with Grieves and he seems like a really upstanding, cool guy. Loving the music, keep it up!
Another smashing tune from grieves. If you do read this grieves keep at it, you have what it takes to be massive and i am 100% certain one day you will make that song. It's My opinion but if macklemore can make it so big it is just a matter of time for you.
Once I heard this track looked up grieves and just was like alright this dude is a genius and bought as many albums as I could.
Indeed..
Cool
Sunshine is good song redone
He came up in a conversation I was having and I forgot how much I enjoy his stuff. I know what I’m doing today! 7 years ago, damn I feel old now 😂
@@lissiflores2262 ppp
2019 and all your music still stands on it own. No competition.
Last time I checked on grieves was 10 years ago. Coming back to see his newer tracks, damnnnn im so impressed.
Favorite Grieves song.
Top 10 favorite songs ever.
Of all time mount rushmore SHIT
I'm so mad that he is sooo underrated, he's so talented. I found him on accident on iheartradio and have been listening to him for a few years now
Destiny Stout agree I have too
Accident got me to him as well on "what it dew" he's an original. Great music.
What it dew is the song that introduced me to Grieves, just a few days ago. I don’t know how I’m only just now hearing of him.
Just got this album in the mail yesterday. Been supporting Grieves since I discovered his music in 2008. This album has been on repeat since I got it. AMAZING.
i love grieves and his singing and how his songs are full of meaning like i can relate to most of his songs and hes just great in general
I don't see how anyone could find something negative to say about Grieves. Been a fan since the Myspace days, and I'll never stray.
Heard his feet have a horrible smell.
Grieves is my best friend ;)
Right! Why don't more people like him!?!
dont mind his lyrics but his beats are whack... unlike his first album
Ever meet him in person? Dudes a jerk
I love this video the song is amazing to start with and the fact the the video is so visually stunning at the same time it makes this one of my favorite music videos by far.
damn near 10 yewars later and this song still gets me. lyrical genius, indeed a successor to slug for rhymesayers

Alex S Grieves & Budo arent together anymore, they are working on separate projects, Budo's solo stuff is awesome as well.
Can't wait for the new album
Got good feedback when we played it on the show.
Fuckin' love that beat.
grieves i dont kno if u look at these comments but i hope u c this one. i wana say thank u. ur music has helped me threw hard times and continues to do so. it speeks to me it tells me to fight and not give up that life is hard but that i will get through it to keep your head up and be humble. ur a true artist and hands down the best. keep making music and sincerly thank you for saving me -cody
cody bryant “Keep the train moving” I’ve always pictured myself sitting on an open train cart watching an unreal sunset when hearing that quote
-May be helpful, if not, haha forget about it.
🌹👍
Hell YES. Stoked on this video, this song, this album, and this tour. Cant wait.
Rhymesayeres all the way

So stoked to get tickets to see him!
That husky/malamute running behind him obviously just wants to play
probably my top 10 favorite songs. you're extremely talented. I can't get enough
still to this day one of the greatest hiphop songs ever
You are bad ass can't wait for the album
I'm so excited for the new album!
Grieves is afaic the only rapper who has consistantly produced high quality music for almost 10 years now. Keep on the good work, and try to squeeze in a gig in Amsterdam.
Absolutely Love Grieves. 😍😍😍
This song saved me from the wolves in my head. Thank you Grieves. Please play Australia someday!
Lyrical genius every song
Grieves is looking pretty good, excited for this new album
Oh man, beautiful and brilliant
I’m still listening to his music I love it hopefully he makes more music
yeeeaahh. this dude is awesome.
Relating to this video so hard: Trying to make a name for myself and my future, going against odds and opinions that everyone has - I'm not stopping because I can see long-term while others in my life cant, stuck in traditional-thinking..
Thanks so much for this, Grieves. It's absolute golden-inspiration to keep me right on track!
Take care! :]
So... how did it work out? Did you reach your objectives?
The most artistic hiphop artist I think I've ever had the pleasure of listening to and meeting
Raising the bar again grieves....dam. RESPECT!
Rhymesayers hands down produce and have the most talent as a label
Love the production on this
Thank you grieves! You kept me breathing with this joint shits fukn slaptastik too bad everyone sleepin on your talent 😔
He's back!! Finally~ 2014 will be a good year!~
I wish i had the chance to sit down with you and see how you come up with the lyrics for your songs. You are truly gifted never give up on it even if it seems horrible at times. "It can't rain all the time." :)
Heather B the crow.
Fuck yes ladies and gentlemen this is what it's all about. This man never loses his touch.
Seriously talented and really like his style!
This is a banger live in person
I was not expecting it to turn out like that (the video, not the song, knew the song would be bangin), nice.
THIS IS SO FUCKING SICK I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF IT THE CHORUS MAKES ME GET COVERED IN GOOSEBUMPS
Of course I got this classic! Grieves best album yet!
Yo, Grives. You should do some more videos from this album!! I know to wait for the theme to present itself opportunistically might suck but this is definitely one that would play well with retroactive videos. On that note any of your songs would. Much love and keep it up, Brother. Thank you for your music and sacrifice, you mean a lot to me despite not having been able meet you!!
i love being subscribed to this channel! great one
Awesome song and video, keep it up grieves!
grieves needs to get a bigger following he's almost all I listen to
Anybody else notice the lumberjack theme in Rhymesayers videos lately?
Check Slug's newest video from last week.
I love it.
It's Minnesota. It's fucking cold.
when mosts of your artists are from Minnesota and Seattle area your gonna get quite a few flannels and lumberjack lookin dudes lol born n raised in Seatown and its thoroughly embedded in our culture... grunge followed the same kinda style for the most part... really glad Rhymesayers noticed the amazing talent the NW has and signed MULTIPLE acts now
***** R-R
Randall Hernandez For once I don't care about how many syllables he is using, I just get lost in the music.
:)
omgg mr.candy man its u!!!! good taste in musica too ay brotha :D
Please for the sake of GOD and ALL of MAN KIND please stand up! Love this guy and his ryhems
Wow. Grieves grew up. And I like the direction with EDM sounding music.
Hell yeah this is dope, grieves looks really different shocked when I saw him lol. I remember when he sold me a shirt at warped tour a few yrs back 😊

Wow, I can't honestly say I consider myself a fan of rap or hip-hop at all, but this is really freakin good! Thanks for the great music!
My mind has been blown. Epic.

Love the flow!!! Fell in love with his song Lightspeed!!
Where did he go? I love his stuff - can't wait to hear more.

It does gets better and better to be honest.
So sick.. great job..cant wait to get the album
Grieves music makes me feel all warm inside :D
I always wondered if anyone can get away with out rhyming in a rap. Now I know that you can.
Damn this is awesome. Rhymesayers in general is just awesome.
-DCAN
That's right homeboy!!
YES Grieves you BAD man! We'll see you in Manchester pal!
I can't believe people are actually bothered to argue on a video like this. I mean, who gives a flying fuck where Hip Hop came from, look at how it is now. Who cares if its a Husky or a wolf, he got chased by a theoretical Wolf! Why can't you just sit there and enjoy the damn song. A lot of you people are lucky enough to see him live. I live in Australia and the guy doesn't seem to be coming here anytime soon. I love this guy to death, he's my number one Artist and would probably faint if I ever got to see him.
Grieves European tour. GET IN!
Sounds like grieves is getting older! I Love It!
Grieves is the best rapper out there hands down 🖐🏻👇🏻
im so in love with this dude
Great song and awesome video. Kinda eerie like the Bob Seger video.
Awesome song and vid can't wait for the hole album to come out
*whole
Grieves should do a music video for Kidding Me as well
YES!!!!
I have a good feeling about the new album. I love this track
So glad i preorder wish it came out already
Beautifully produced video!
I just came across Grieves the other day going threw youtube videos i love his stuff now 2019.
This song is good, but holy fuck this video is incredibly unique. Love it
Great song and music video.
Grieves.... my man, good shit!!
"Shreds"
[Verse 1:]
I don't believe in cuttin' corners
Own it like a scar on the face
Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place
Not really the one to give God praise
But if you've got the gospel, then tell me how it tastes, halleluiah
Bitin' on the bullet for strength
I'm a long distance runner sucker, I'm in it for length
It's not a matter of whether or not you can play
But a scale of if you give a fuck enough to make a statement
Lay it down, separate the men from the mice
Another body under halogen lights missing it's life portrait
What the hell would make you think that you could judge another person
For loving something so much it hurts their stomach, huh?
Living by the blood in my neck
With a bulls-eye tatted on the back of my head
I never spoke it how they want it to be said
So they left me for the winter and the wolves
[Chorus:]
Tear me into shreds, rip me into bits
Tear another page out, punch me in the ribs
I can smell the poison on your lips
Whatever it is, I be willin' to bet
They wanna get inside my head, tell me how it is
Sittin' in a tower with a rifle and a list
I can see the razor on your lips
Whatever it is, I be willing to bet
You shoulda held your breath
[Verse 2:]
I don't believe in sitting down
Take it like a knife in the back
You burnt out into nothing after striking a match
I never been the type to follow the pack
So if it's true, you got the answers, then why the hell you so mad then?
Another Holy Ghost-laid script
Clipped the wings off of my words and buried the shiv
They wanna pick apart the passion in my ribs, I invite them
Cause I don't run away from shit, lay it out
Separate the guns and the flowers
The minutes that go into all these hours
And I bet if you were given a smidgen of just the tip of the iceberg I've had to struggle with
You wouldn't act so sour, but maybe not
Livin' off the fruit of my stress
With a size 12 boot heel steppin' on my chest
Didn't do it how they wanted it to end
So they threw me to the winter and the wolves
[Chorus x2]
Dabbing hard to this shit!
cant wait for this cd
Very dope song/video. Hang in there Grieves and keep doin' what you're doin, you're gonna blow up soon, guarantee it.
Simply perfect.
Great video/song homey. Well done.
great video hommie, keep up the good music
Dope....RSE always on point
This track is fire 🔥
So awesome!!
Metaphorically, you can't run from wolves or "fear" because it'll always catch up to you. Embracing fear gives you direction in life.
I don't believe in cutting corners
Own it like a scar on the face
Stand tall whether taking the gold or in last place
Not really the one to give God praise
But if you got the gospel then tell me how it taste
HallelujahBiting on the bullet for strength
I'm a long distance runner sucker
I'm in it for length
It's not a matter of whether or not you can play
But a scale of if you give a fuck enough to make us stay

grieves at his best...great song :)
This is such a sick vid! killed it grieves!
Another smashing tune from grieves.
If you do read this grieves keep at it, you have what it takes to be massive and i am 100% certain one day you will make that song.
It's My opinion but if macklemore can make it so big it is just a matter of time for you.
Late to the party. Found your music through PROF's channel. Adding you to the permanent rotation.
Here's to hoping you keep making jams *cheers*
Such a deep deep meaning
I'm so excited for this album.
I didn't think this album held up. It was average but not like "Together/Apart" which is what I hoped for.
Joe Pickford I still enjoyed it a lot
JUST. PERFECT.
Firee!!
