- Grimes playing an unknown track during an unplugged session.
The lovely Claire Boucher does it again!
Recorded on Nov 19, 2010 at the corner of Parc Ave. and Van Horne Ave. in Montreal.
Original broadcast from TV McGill
“We went down into the basement of this crazy abandoned building - this is Montreal in the dead of winter, like negative 40. It was great but my fingers froze so it was really hard to play. People kept having to blow on my fingers, it was so painful. If you watch closely you can see a piece of the roof fall and hit me in the head as I’m playing [laughs]. That was really fun!” - Grimes, The Skinny (February 2012)
Sir Brinderwalt gosh this is so sad lol i
@@guitaria66636 that's my reality, born and raised in montreal ! i lived in a "poor" neighborhood but i had lots of friends and we were chasing abandoned buildings, there was a lot of them, we would break in, we would climb on rooftops jumping from house to house ( the appartments were so close to each other), throwing snowballs in windows, making graffitis...we were all "poor kids" but i wouldn't exchange my childhood with any rich kids, it was that fun ! pretty sure everyone born in the 80s in montreal can relate !
@@gloomysunday9534Born in 70's, lived through 80's.Still some best years of my life, I can relate.
A piece of the f#cking roof falls in.. She keeps playing singing like an angel, with frozen fingers, bless her x.
10 years later i still think this is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard
i’ll always love this era of grimes
she was doing drugs and it was very bad but you shouldnt look up to her because of that
this is the best ive ever heard her real voice raw without the electronic loop distortion
It made me imagine a calm song being played as the end is near during a military siege and their is just that group of people and the war outside.
All they have is stories created specifically to rob me over and over and over while I work the entire time harder than anyone I've ever met.
I wish she would re record and release this song...it's very special.
This and Saturn Princess and I could die happy
Her voice... Just... Her voice...
She claims through the media to have a poor singing voice yet without any vocal equipment being used at all in this solo performence she sounds perfect and genuinely unique.
Yes. I sing and heard early on in her voice that if her she was just flowing raw..”unplugged” it would be angelic. I remember hearing/watching this the first time and I play Uke after years of guitar but anyways this is still mesmerizing and well no words! If there is perfection then this is a prime example:)✨💫🌙
There's some sort of magic in her voice ⭐✨
"You guys, my number one priority is not to die here!" XD this song is so beautiful, I can't stop listening to it.
This has to be one of the most incredibly gorgeous things i've ever heard. Is hauntingly stunning, can't stop listening to it. In a dark place, to hear such a sublime voice. I could easily die that way.
the atmosphere and the feeling for sure!!! to die with that voice being homeless is probably next for me Im going to squat hope I hear that voice imagine someone in the next room freezing to death listening to that
@@ericbryant6097 Hey dude what ever happened to you? are you ok? luv
nobodys gonna mention the fact that she hit those super high notes at the beggining? those note were D6 and A6!
she hits rlly high notes if u search grimes rare she hits e6 in song intor/flower also exclaimed alot whistle and flageolet in live version of scream/la vas lyubil
"circumambient"and " skin" have a high notes too
She have high head voice/whistle in "dream fortress" and "skin" too
she said in an interview that she's trained her voice to reach four octaves
First I thought it was a flute.
This is so raw. Even the sounds of whats going on outside the session was just so perfectly placed. Well done man.
I have accomplished learning this entire song on the ukulele. I feel proud of myself because this is the first full song I've ever learned.
omg im trying to learn it on the uke i cant accpmplish more than the first part hahhaha
strumming pattern on the last bit plz
Up, Down, Pat uke, Up, Down, Pat that uke again.
anyone know what the chords are?
Me too 🥹🥹🥹
Every single time I see/hear something new from her, or even something I haven't seen before(like this) it always...ALWAYS makes me fall more in love with her than before. Both as a creative inspiration to my own music...and as a beautiful human being in her own right.
avedic yesss same ❤️😍
I feel like I had a spiritual awakening during this.
No doubt about it, she is one of the most unique and talented artists we may ever encounter. However, she did come from a prestigious background. Her vocals appear trained, natural talent no doubt, but whether you are in your car for an hour a day belting or getting lessons from a professional, her voice is trained. She was trained in ballet also, pretty sure this is widely known but it’s good to keep in mind that only wealthy, boujie families put their children in ballet. Not judging, honestly wish my family would have. Go grimes. Even if we want to go as far to say she wasn’t trained in these things, she was financially and creatively supported by her family to embrace these things- whether she was aware of it or not. So really, if you add that with a combination of beauty and talent, well yeah, of course Elon is going to knock her up. Grimes is real and relatable, this is why we appeal to her. But sadly, as a true fan, I have realized that she is not a diamond in the rough. She is a product of wealth and she is simply following the path that was paved for her. Sure, she may seem rebellious from going against her family’s culture, but coming from a similar family myself, I believe her and I both know that families like this truly only speak one language: money. So, her becoming successful on her own doing something completely opposing from her parents is her ultimate “I made it”. I don’t care how “unique” she was from her conservative parents; the only thing dictating her future, was money. Being born into it, and not knowing how to be without it after that. As any other human would. And the same will always go for the rest of us. It is rare that you witness someone who goes far off from their familial monetary background. Grimes is no exception. This comment isn’t here to burst your bubble, it’s here to open your eyes and realize that this should change, because as real as it may be, it is only this way because society has created it this way. Be the change you wish to see. Also, I love you no matter what grimes, you have gotten me through many dark times and I know you were there in those dark times yourself too. Your music says it all, so I don’t give a fuck how you got here, I would not be the same without you and I love you. So, while I am entitled to my own opinion, I have the utmost love and respect for you as an artist. Thank you for existing, my life would not be the same without you.
tbh, I would love an album of hers done like this.Just her voice, with a guitar or ukulele in the background.
Okay, so this is what I understood from the lyrics:
Here all the pillars
I called
Far away a killer
I know
Oh
I see
I see
I see
Ohhhh aaaah
Ahhhh oh oh oh
He cries
He cries and
Oh oh oh
It dies
It dies and
Oh oh oh oh
It cries
It cries and
Oh oh oh
It dies
It dies
Ahhh
Here my pillars
I called
Are they killers?
I know
I see
I see
I see
Oh oh oh oh
It cries
It cries and
Oh oh oh oh
It dies
It dies and
Oh oh oh
He cries
He cries
Oh oh oh oh
He dies
He dies
What is the name of the song??
I hear "Born Bred Killers" instead of "Are they killers" but that's doesn't really matter 🌞
I know she likes her gadgets. It's a shame because her voice is so beautiful and it gets filtered or drowned out. I'd pay twice as much if she had an album with just a couple instruments and her lovely voice.
Martin K we all would. I agree.
Apparently she's kind of insecure about her singing, idk why honestly
Malik Killian she doesn’t like her voice. idk why but still she should do whatever she’s comfortable doing
I just listened to this song immediately after the new death grips album. It's like I just got completely shattered apart and then grimes reassembled me back together, gave me a reassuring hug, and told me it would all be ok.
yes yes yes
holy fuck batman, that's gotta be the most accurate thing I ever read on youterd.. no seriously.
It seems that DG and Grimes fanbase kind of intersect a bit, which is a pure oddity. And to think I was the only one...
Megamaniac610 described a dissociative brainwashing technique here: 'new death grips album. It's like I just got completely shattered apart and then grimes reassembled me back together, gave me a reassuring hug, and told me it would all be ok."
They do it to babies. Oh shit... I can't type what they do right now. Sorry. I'm gonna go to church now and talk about God instead of Satan.
Anyways.. about 25% of people are able to zone out if experiencing too much trauma. The elites have been torturing people for so long that they've figured out how to force a person's mind to switch to some intense emotion/behavior, follow orders, and then forget it all happened.
Or you just get the person high on drugs, no torture needed.
Tell Grimes to tell her friends to stop drinking blood and torturing. Those days are over. People/kids are simply worth too much money alive and un-tortured thanks to our guy, Satoshi Nakamoto.
You rich people are gonna have to start AirBnBing some of your properties and puling your weight around here instead of helping none but yourselves.
We decided to do the right thing from now on. Figure it out on your own because if you don't believe or understand I just don't have time to explain it right now.
how beautiful. the echo emphasizes her pretty voice. when I think I can't love her anymore than I already do...she is such an amazing human.
this is the only video i've ever seen of claire playing the uke ffdshwdwdh its so beautiful and haunting and amazing i wanna cry
sara balenzano if you cry for grimes, make it a river she deserves it. We cannot have the most precious things, they get taken away!! Your right tho!
It's amazing that just few lyrics can have a lot of meaning, I think this song make references about being murdered, like if you were trapped into a four pillars castle and all the time those "Killers" were look at you and they could kill you wherever they want, you can feel the pain, the frustacion, the sadness and fear in this song .. Amazing how Claire Boucher put a lot of meaning in all her songs .. true artist, incredible.
From being bullied in school, wearing ratty, thrift shop clothes, getting frostbite and being broke, to world tours, modeling for Versace, and hobnobbing with manic genius bilionaires... quite accomplished for a self-made musician and songstress!
i love her SO much, but you're wrong. she's not self made. she's been signed since 2010.
Elon Musk isn’t a genius. Like Grimes, he was born to a wealthy family. All it is, is the birth lottery.
Her parents are wealthy. She was never broke.
@@saphir5589 if you have the technology to comment that comment you are actually better set up that elon musk fir greatness whats stopping you?
Ami and everyone commenting underneath it are all right. She's still self-made but definitely had tremendous support. Many DIY artists will never have that kind of support. Her claims that she does everything alone disregard her labels, friends who taught her, family, and sponsorships. There are also so many female producers but Grimes manages to make a unique pop that is engaging/sells. It's okay to be envious as she is still absolutely amazing. Just keep making and performing and don't worry so much about the luck of others- we don't live in a fair society.
such a simple melody and lyrics sang with her lovely voice it's an angelic piece of beauty!!! I completely surrender to you Claire!!! 😍😘😍😘😘
Wow I actually shed a tear. Not out of sadness but sheer bliss
So beautiful! I didn’t even know about her back then but I miss this era of Grimes. There’s something so sincere and innocent about it!
This is truly beautiful.
Honestly one of her best vocal moments in my opinion, still listen to this over and over and over and over
Damn. I love her even more now.
first part ukulele: D-Dmaj7 arpeggio the 3 first strings
second part (arpeggi the 3 last strings) and the final part(not arpeggi) F-G7(without the first string)-A-Am7 (no fingers)
someone knows the name of the song?
Sergio Mora
She never referred to it by name, another Grimestery!
I always think of it as the sewer song because I think it was filmed in a sewer
@@PandaPanda-eq3fryeah they took me down there to murder me & I could sing so they they forced me to make content & robbed me tried several times to murder me after they got plenty of content
sing my angel singggg!!
I wish i could accomplish what you have accomplished Claire :(( ily
I was watching grimes live performances and this has to be the best one so far
Life like this is lived all around us but not often do we see the thing and know how it pleases. Thanks, I can see what I missed and appreciate it.
This is the first song I listened to in 2019.
i want to make it in 2020
BABEL. Did you make it?
@@mdnmoonbean2417 yeah
She gives me goosebumps..so amazing
Amanda Black you give me more goosebumps!
Simply beautiful performance. Her voice is angelic.
literally immaculate i’m in love
masterpiece voice/song
Si llegaste hasta aquí eres un verdadero fan de Grimes
If there's any proof God exists, it's this...such beauty in such an ugly world. Love you Ms. Boucher🌹
c dean
Faccs
This is beautiful
some people put her down about the way she talks, or the way she sings,without realising she is such an amazingly talented musician...she is multifaceted....like a jewel.
oh god how i wish this was on spotify
This might be the most gorgeous thing I've ever listened to. Her voice is so melodious. She's got real talent.
This performance alone explains why she would love Nicole Dollanganger.
She's so perfect and beautiful
I am sobbing. Not even kidding. Sobbing.
her voice is so beautiful
Here are the pillars
I called
Far away a killer
I know
Oh
I see
I see
I see
Ohhhh aaaaah
Ahhh oh oh oh
He cries
He cries and
Oh oh oh
It died
It died and
Oh oh oh
It cries
It cries and
Oh oh oh
It dies
It dies
Aaah
Here my pillars
I called
Are they killers?
I know

I see
Oh oh oh oh
It cries
It cries and
Oh oh oh oh
It dies
It dies and
Oh oh oh
He cries
He cries
Oh oh oh oh
He dies
He dies
Amazing! 👏
i think she starts 'Here upon the pillars'
What does this words means? I'm sorry I'm just not good at english, I can translate it but I don't understand what this song about
@4 everno 1 I think the song might be about masonic sacrificial ritual? (Grimes is a freemason). The pillars (Boaz and Jachin), the killer and the victim that is being slain, it all points to that, unfortunately :( Despite the fact that I know she's part of the evil scum "elite" I still cant stop myself from listening to her music, man, I like her art so much :(
everything abt who she was back then was perfect. she's not the same :(
everybody changes! i bet you’ve changed since you last committed that
she just became more confident and shes a lot better now you shouldnt bring her down becsuse of it
Every time I come back here I love her more...
In the second half it sounds like she's singing 'he died' over and over, though I'm pretty certain she isn't singing real words. She has such a beautiful voice with a relatively wide range, I hope she will provide her unique brand of music for years to come.
Yeeees in the first part i hear: "the killer" and then in the second part i hear "he cries" and "he dies" :cc
she lost a lot of friends during this era to them doing drugs and i think that was what she was referencing to you shouldnt look up to her because of that but yeah i agree it is a really pretty song
i know this is a 9 year old comment, but im positive she sings "it dies" - referring to her broken heart. shes sung this multiple times live and those live versions is about her heart breaking
She is amazing!
She is my favorite too...I cant stop listening to her and and creating beautiful paintings while listening to her stuff.....she is amazing! My new muse...
I am dying beacaus this is so beautiful ★✩♡※◎
this performance makes me so fricking sad
gosh, this song makes me sleepy and plus her soft high voice is relaxing...
BEAUTY
why am i actually crying
I’m grimes gives me such an emotional response and this video like rips my heart out
you are not alone
always makes me want to cry, so beautiful
my favourite performance ever
This touched me so bad ✨🌹❤️🖤💜🌹✨
this song makes me happy
youtube recommending old grimes vids since i started spam liking all the instrumental versions of artangels. keep it up youtube, baby, i’m loving these hidden gems 💓
Someone spam her twitter to release this song lol
This is beautiful
Love her now. Will love her the next day too.
One of my favorite sounds in the world. ♥
best live performance
Such a one in a million type of artist I honestly can never get bored of grimes
Wow. I liked Grimes before viewing this. But now I'm in love.
I've tried to stop myself coming back to this for 4 weeks to see if I still liked it as much as I thought I did when I was watching it 6 times a day. Guess what? I fuckin love it more than I did then, she is the greatest talent around. No doubt about it.
the best songs I always feel like I've heard before, fantastic singer!!
simplicity creates the most beautiful music. Thank you Claire.....thank you
i've never heard her singing in such an acoustic way. wow. totally didn't expect that.
Stumbled on this gem 💎 and I love it.I wish Clare would do it in studio. Am happy it is part of my collection. Wow.
made me cry, literally
She is so amazing!
Ahh butifull love it peacfull !
i die at 3:50 where the strumming comes it wow she is PERFECT
What a beautiful fairy
Te amo gracias por dar esperanza
I have so much love and respect for what this woman is doing for music and art right now. If I saw an intimate acoustic performance such as this one I would just melt. So... what astute soul can precure the name or this lovely track?
This is absolutely beautiful
in my pillar i go
far away, a killer i know
oh i see
i see
i see oh
oh it cries, it cries
oh it dies, it dies and
oh it cries, it cries
and oh it died, it died
My God, 45 seconds into it and I'm mesmerized!
Wow. This song is too beautiful. It exhausts my heart.
C… this one stirs an emotion in me I can’t explain it’s like the deepest melancholic feeling mixed with an air of euphoria.. beautiful.
This song has been shared on my Facebook more than any other song. I absolutely adore listening to her voice here; simplistically beautiful.
I made myself cringe but I (still) agree.
Surprised! She can definitely write successfully unplugged. I know I'd buy 😊
adorably sloppy transition at 1:28
Grimes makes loads of mistakes live. It doesn't even phase her....I love her more for it!
True art
i love Aurora
this is so beautiful
It should be released, because it's unbelievably beautiful.
She has such a sweet voice and she's so unique and awesome
I'd love her to do a full album of this stuff, I'd buy it for sure. Wonderful
she mentioned being cold as absolute fuck here
Here upon the pillar I go
Far away the killer I know
Why did, I did I did, oh ah
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It cries, it cries and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It dies, it dies and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It cries, it cries and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It dies, it dies
Here on a pillar, I go
I'm that killer, I know
I see, I see I see
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It cries, it cries and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It dies, it dies and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It cries, it cries and
Oh woah oh oh ohh
It dies, it dies
Me melting down on a +40°C under the Equador summer watching a freezing Grimes sing angelically at -40°C to see if at least I can refresh my soul... It kinda works :P
