The way she sings this during the Vevo performance...there’s a sort of desperation, immediacy and urgency... “When a human strokes your skin, that is when you let them in; let them in before they go...”

"You can't straighten my curls"

If I was forced to be a different person, she's the only other person I would want to be.

I can't stop listening to this lately. Both Leonard's original and The Civil Wars' cover.

REALiTi is about depression and isolation. I was living in the woods when I made it and tried to remember what friendship was like. Grimes | music video

I’m still not over this song or the aesthetic of this video. It is just perfect. I get a very particular feeling that I can’t describe when I watch it. It’s a strange sort of happiness and excitement that seems mixed with a bit of deeply pitted melancholy. I think it’s because I used to listen to it all the time when I was in Barcelona, and now it instantly takes me back to the walk I used to take to the subway. It was actually quite a difficult time in my life, and this song would instantly make me feel elated, that’s why I was always listening to it. It’s like musical pastry or candy, but like a really beautiful french pastry that has just a gorgeous palette of pastels.
