Apparently, his work is not for everyone (friends ask me to turn him off), but he strikes a deep chord for me and I love the counterpoint between self-effacement and proud outrage.
John could have made himself the next Pogo 🤡 if he didn’t turn to music. He wrote a lot of beautiful breakup songs that all vengeful serial killers should listen to. You could regard them as a dirge. His voice is very soothing and redeeming as well.
He is definitely unique. This song specifically depicts his intelligence and sensitivity. When I listened to it for the first time, I felt deeply moved. An amazing pianist too.
i cannot stop coming back to this song. this version is particularly wonderful on a grand piano. and the way his voice just cracks a bit with emotion at the end rounds off brilliantly an extraordinarily moving piece of work.
That is the song that lead me to find him. I’m a die hard Sinead fan and heard her version and had to look up the genius that wrote it. That song and this one are my favorites. Any other faves of yours?
@amydykes3783 I want to go to Mars. On a separate subject have you heard the fickle flame John Grant and Guy Garvey singing Kindling by Elbow.....OMG It's stupendous. Guy Garvey and John Grant thats all you need in life.
So f__king great. John holds this song in his hands like clay and though it's subjectively "sad" you hear playfulness within its delivery. Such an artist and uplifting presence.
Lyrics're great, but, it's not the main reason I simply can't stop crying. It's, because of his Voice and purpose! I realized I wasted my precious time called "creative life", just because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. No remorse, long live the John! T h a n k Y o u
It is one of the greatest songs yet written. 'You have to play your part my dear, I've written it all down for you' is one of the saddest lines I've ever heard. John knows it will never work, but the other guy doesn't. Plus it's the most beautiful song I can sing in one key and I have a rubbish voice. It is a work of genius.
John is a pure genius 👌❤🖤 I'm so happy I finally decided to delve into his deeply captivating music during this shitty pandemic, after knowing about him for years... He's so easy to fall in love with, isn't he?! 😍 Much love to all
Oh my life.....!!! What a talent. Sadly I've only just discovered this wonderful artist, not all bad though as he's playing at this years Glastonbury and I have a BIG FAT TICKET. John Grant, I'm all ears ;-)
Your beauty is unstoppable; your confidence unspeakable. I know you know I know you know that I know that you know. I'm willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear, Even though I don't have anything that I could bargain with. This is like a well-oiled machine. Could I please see that smile again? It's all that makes me feel that I am living in this world I see you closing all the doors. I see the walls as they go up I know it's what you have to do. I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! You have to play your part, my dear. I've written it all down for you. It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true. Just do it then I'll let you go. Just say the words and say them slowly. I promise I'll tell no one. Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby, please!
What a great voice and he can put it over live too. Lucky enough to see him twice in 2010, excellent both times. A mix of Glen Campbell / Karen Carpenter incredible.
A great discovery of mine getting John Grant's CD as my birthday present.A good soul touching music and a really good voice. Found one more music which i really love.
Ja, OK, John,ich kenne deine Musik erst seit gut einem halben Jahr... Wie konnte ich so viele Jahre ohne sie leben? Deine ganz persönliche "Geschichte" ist ebenso berührend wie deine wunderbaren Songs, in denen du diese "verarbeitest". John, ich freue mich wie Bolle, dass ich dich am 30. Oktober in London live sehen werde! Ich bin so ein großer Fan von dir, dass ich aus dem tiefsten Schwarzwald nach London fliege, um dich zu sehen. Never stop making music, John! Your voice thrills me!
... just perfect... piano & voice... sends shivers the same way Rufus does... ... and yes, the album "Queen Of Denmark" is another crown in my collection ever since it came out last year... Cheers***
This is such a beautiful song. So haunting. I've been listening to the rest of his album, Queen Of Denmark on Spotify, and there are a few other tracks on it that really stood out. A terrific new find. Yes, it reminds me a little bit of Rufus Wainwright whose music I love as well.

He writes songs that touch their emotions... why I ADORE him
They know nothing!
Get rid of those friends... 😂😂
@@stevehanson1598 Me Too hun ....John writes from his own experiences John has an incredible gift like Sir Elton John..
Each to their own. I know what I'd tell my friends
This man is a f**king genius! You feel like the smartest person on the planet when you discover John Grant.
he opened for Elbow in LA, I was transfixed.
Jon Russell Cring
Wow. Whatever, Mr Cringe!
I did!!! I was like "HTF haven't I heard this before?!"
Why is this guy not enormously popular? What an amazing talent.
Haven't found anything more beautiful in this lifetime than pathos in art. John Grant is an artist who moves me to tears.
I burst into tears when I first heard "Caramel". His talent is unbelievable xXx
listen to Tamino's Tiny Desk Concert, thank me later
Ten years on and still it hasn't reached a million views. I'm baffled and a little sad.
"It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true" This is full of acceptance, hopelessness, sadness... I love you John Grant, long live!
!!!!
His whole catalogue is like this - a hidden treasure for the world to discover.
"I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye" - these are words you don't hear in a song very often.
was listening to this part of the song, and suddenly find your comment! absolutely big LIKE! 💕
Well!!!!!!...........What did he say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Words Ted Bundy could say too.

Genius songwriting, this song is amazing to crank up loud when driving on your own and sing along to the chorus - such power and emotion….
+Nic Hills (UK Ebay Reseller)
Yes and look a right twat at the traffic lights
Just done it!
So sad I cannot find friends who like the music I like...
Monica Moura this comment hit me hard bc I realized I'm the same way
Very true..and when we find those friends we cant stop talking for hours and hours
That is sad. They'll find their ways to you sometime.
Monica Moura totally understand...cant see why other people don’t see him as the genius that i do?
no, that's not true.....u'r not the only one.....trust me....

People who like excellent music, get john! Any deviation from this is a closed mind thing.
Queen of Denmark is a masterpiece of an album! I LOVE this album

#geek....that F minor....and the A minor....oh my goodness. Such a beautiful song, such a perfect chord progression.
This is my favourite song for singing to in the car. Thanks John, for having the same register as me. And for being a genius.
Goosebumps!
John is a pure genius 👌❤🖤
I'm so happy I finally decided to delve into his deeply captivating music during this shitty pandemic, after knowing about him for years...
