It's irritating that the cover had to be censored, as it was clearly important in this music video.
i watched an interview of her talking about this video and the fact that she said on the day of the shoot everything was going wrong and the set didn't turn out how she wanted, yet here i am watching this video for the 100th time bc i can't get over the aesthetics, choreography, styling, editing, cinematography etc etc
@Shannon marr Did you know that Grimes said she kept making funny faces & giggling while dancing & she couldn’t help herself so she & the choreographer decided to have her wear a mask lol
I'm so happy to see that the most watched part of the video is when the first chorus comes on and the dance starts. That dance is one of the best I've ever seen. Love syncs with the lyrics.
i am so hungry for an album. art angels was so long ago, i’ve just been going back to geidi primes visions etc so i have more grimes music to listen to
i didn't notice the single shot at 3:19 until now, three years later. coincidentally, it's in the part of the song where she's singing "ee-o". that's definitely how a french canadian would pronounce i_o. so sweet of them to drop this easter egg. rave in peace garrett ✨
Nice blend of visions and art angels here, and I can hear how it would flow naturally in the same album as We Appreciate Power. I am so hype for this album.
For some reason i'm completely obsessed with this song. Its like there's some type of mind control going on here. Has literally been on repeat for hours. Someone please help me.
Thank you. You're the first top comment I found mentioning him. I don't think many people realize he's the guy in the vid and the one who produced the beat. Such a tragedy to die at 30 😢 R.I.P.
Musically this song is just so hypnotic, you can listen to it hundreds of times and not get bored. Something about the slow rhythm just lets you sink into it. I've come to appreciate these slower tempo songs that carry a lot more weighty sound. Best collab and absolute classic from both Grimes and io.
most artists that produce their own music probably feel the same. she has expressed that it's very hard for her stop working on music and just let herself know its finished haha
Rest In Peace i_o. Another talent lost before their time, but then again, maybe it was. I certainly know I don't want to exist in this uncertain future. Rest well dude.
It's a true collab, Gregory. Grimes has primary credits as both writer and producer on this track and her stylistic fingerprints are all over it. I'm not taking anything away from I_o, I hear his influence too, but this isn't just his song. I get it, though. These days when you see a singer they're usually just the face of the operation, and are backed by whole teams of songwriters and producers. The people doing the real heavy lifting are in the background. Grimes, however, is a true artist and is as DIY as they get. She wrote every word and every note on her first three records, and only shared credits on two tracks on her fourth (one with Aristophanes and one with Janelle Monae). She has a talent for writing killer hooks and that is what my initial post refers to.
The song is about having a baby and the violent nature of birth... These violent delights have violent ends. Birth and death are both violent acts nature plays on us.
She mentioned in an interview that they had a limited time to shoot in the church and she was stressed out and couldn't control her facial expressions the way that she wanted so her stylist provided her with the face masks.
@@amon1677 facial expressions when dancing is already pretty hard to control. Simply smiling through an entire dance is hard enough for someone who's not a dancer. And sometimes getting the right facial expressions for the vibe doesn't translate well from an idea to reality. Faces tend to be awkward, especially when stressed or tensed up
Wow can’t believe churches are allowing these kinds of shoots, especially with their revealing costumes. Loved the ethereal video, just blown away with that fact.
Probably because it was such a pain in the ass to to shoot. At 1:00 the backup dancers are sped up while she is at normal speed, so they probably had to shoot them separately using a motion control rig.
Xenofobulus - Official Artemis is goddess of the hunt and wild animals right? would’ve said that violence was more akin to a war related goddess personally
0:43 I can't get over how perfect the choreography is and the lead dancer is absolutely crisp with her movement. The back-up dancers were flawless. Super impressive.
i think that's what dances are supposed to do right?? I mean, i find dances to be not appealing as much for me. But when people really dances with the music, damn do I love it very much..
Grimes actually said in an interview that they animated the dancers dancing so it would look like their movements are not realistic in a way like animated. But the whole choreo is also inspired from the dance style, Tutting which she saw on tiktok!
This is that kind of song you need to listen to through headphones, it takes you to another world. Thank you Grimes for this wonderful auditive experience, love it ❤
Yeah, I'm not a dance major, but I study music and I'm just fascinated by their smooth moves and the choreography. I'd love to know who created this! Glad to know I'm not the only one ^^
@@yasminegomez5862 OMG so thanks to you, I looked up that video and you're right, she mentions "Cindy, from Tik Tok" and choreographer Natsuki Miya. I'm just replying so that others may see in case they wanted to know. I'm in love with those moves.
@Esneyder Toledo Well you're wrong about charting as it isn't the most successful. I'd like to see your source on sales. In terms of streaming that's not an accurate judge as streaming is lot more popular now than it was when Visions was released.
@Esneyder Toledo I've just had a look on Spotify and it certainly isn't the most streamed there. 13 million compared to 66 million for Genesis. In fact WAP is the 6th most streamed, not the 1st.
@Esneyder Toledo That's right you didn't say it was the best in everything, in fact you initially said Genesis was the best. You said it was the most successful based on various things. You said charts, streams and sales. You're now saying visits however I have no idea what that means. You can weigh up all kinds of end of year lists but Grimes's other songs have been in various end of year lists. In conclusion there are a few songs such as Oblivion, Genesis and Flesh Without Blood that have achieved better than WAP in all or most of the parameters you're using to define 'most successful' so therefore there is no basis to declare it as such.
Grimes said that she had to wear a mask because she kept pulling weird faces. I think it was a nice touch and you can feel the emotion in her eyes alone.
Lysette K Right, that’s why she wore a mask, the same type of masks we are being forced to wear months after this video was made and when the pandemic was made up, predictive programming come to mind , anyone who has half a brain?
For REAL though. In grimes's songs it's always those things that really make it pop and take it to the next level for me. She just KNOWS what to do to make a song sound good and what she needs to add to make it even better.
For everyone complaining about the censorship, it was actually a strike made by the specific publisher of the edition she had. Not TH-cam or her management.
I remember this song was on trending. I only clicked on because it looked aetheticallly pleasing. My life ended up changing after that and she is now on my top 3 artist. Gaga. Taylor. And grimes
Wasn't a fan at first, still kind of on the fence, but there's something about her that I find so interesting. Like I'm really digging this song, and she is just so unique
same! after hearing Zheanis vocals be compared to her for so long I had to give her a listen. a little too pop-y for me, but really cool and well done!
Yep, she's part of an elite bloodline. th-cam.com/video/bTZvZ4DThoc/w-d-xo.html&t=380&ab_channel=NardwuarServiette She starts talking about her grandparents, but quickly stops herself because the slaves aren't supposed to know about that. Still good music though.

It actually feels like a contemporary video about the future that is now. There are no weird special effects. Just Grimes wearing Iris van Herpen.

For anyone curious: the book that was censored out is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Barnes and Noble literally carries the exact copy she's holding, it's literally a bargain book there. Rather than censor it, that publisher should have teamed with B&N and flaunted the fact that you can purchase this particular edition for like $10 to $15. It's irritating that the cover had to be censored, as it was clearly important in this music video.
Yeah, I noticed it's the same version that I own. The most recent sort of mass production version I assume.
Or, it was deliberate. She’s an artist - who knows the reasons for its inclusion
yeah, it is only censored on TH-cam - i purchased the video from iTunes and it is still unblurred :)
the barcode tag on the back was tacky so i'm glad it's blurred now
Why was it blurred
Last week I didn't know who Grimes was. This week she's my #1 on Spotify.

The actual video itself came out perfectly
The strength of an artist with the caliber such as grimes can overcome any obstacle
same wtf
yea same here! love this
Hats off to the choreographer my god
The choreographer's name is Natsuki Miya and the hand choreo was inspired by Cindy518c. I believe Claire (Grimes) took ballet in her youth.

@@sadia9061 I don't think it's grimes.
@@Hawaiian_Brian lol it is grimes she’s the blonde she was in ballet for a long time
0:47-0:49 OMG it's sooooo satisfying how the dance moves go with the beat
i think that's what dances are supposed to do right?? I mean, i find dances to be not appealing as much for me. But when people really dances with the music, damn do I love it very much..
Y!E!S! to this OP
❣💘 I'm FLOORED 💘❣
And the end of this dance was the most satisfying part for me. The way she dropped to the floor on her knees holding her arm out was really cool
And that dgaf warrior in the white onesie does absolutely nothing throughout the entire vid, yet, is such an attention stealer 😁 #VideoBomber
Grimes actually said in an interview that they animated the dancers dancing so it would look like their movements are not realistic in a way like animated. But the whole choreo is also inspired from the dance style, Tutting which she saw on tiktok!
This is that kind of song you need to listen to through headphones, it takes you to another world. Thank you Grimes for this wonderful auditive experience, love it ❤
You know, I feel really sorry for those who haven't discovered Grimes yet.
hey :) i'd love to take a look to my channel as u love Grimes! let me know :)
Grimes is probably one of the most underrated artists of the decade.
She is famous. Not underrated
she's not underrated, she's a masterpiece and everyone know her
cant even sing but ok.
@@kellybults8248
And so?
@@kellybults8248 you’re just wrong
"I didn't expect Grimes to dance, but I approve."
-Abraham Lincoln, 2019
pk stop lmaoo great quote 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
?? she did in many of her videos, but this one's just in full and proper choreo
My absolute fav by her!
the choreography like?!??!!? is anyone else mesmerized
Yeah, I'm not a dance major, but I study music and I'm just fascinated by their smooth moves and the choreography. I'd love to know who created this! Glad to know I'm not the only one ^^
@@yasminegomez5862 Thanks, I'll try to find it :D
For sure. Something else happened to me but I don't think I'll be mentioning it publicly. I'm going to try it again tomorrow.
@@yasminegomez5862 OMG so thanks to you, I looked up that video and you're right, she mentions "Cindy, from Tik Tok" and choreographer Natsuki Miya. I'm just replying so that others may see in case they wanted to know. I'm in love with those moves.
yesss. I had it on repeat for like 10 minutes.
That iris van herpen dress looks stunning on her!!!
i KNEW it looked familiar 😍
How much does it cost? Christmas is coming and i'm out of ideas 😁
@@JackSmith-tj1if probably as much as both my kidneys at least
grimes is the reason why i believe in art
Never agreed & identified so hard with an answer in a video.
TOTALLY AGREE AND IDENTIFIED. OMG YES
That's why you can't draw then
You are so right, damn!
@@isabelabandeira9228 are you dumb.
When that beat hits.. pure bliss
Grimes really be out here reminding us that she's a trained dancer..
and that's a good thing
is she, really?
@@augustoglez she had 11 years of ballet training... yep...
Bruh
And why not, something to be proud of also..
Crazy to think she's been making music for a decade now.
@Esneyder Toledo 'We Appreciate Power' 'is the most successful based on what?
@Esneyder Toledo Well you're wrong about charting as it isn't the most successful. I'd like to see your source on sales. In terms of streaming that's not an accurate judge as streaming is lot more popular now than it was when Visions was released.
@Esneyder Toledo I've just had a look on Spotify and it certainly isn't the most streamed there. 13 million compared to 66 million for Genesis. In fact WAP is the 6th most streamed, not the 1st.
@Esneyder Toledo That's right you didn't say it was the best in everything, in fact you initially said Genesis was the best.
You said it was the most successful based on various things. You said charts, streams and sales. You're now saying visits however I have no idea what that means. You can weigh up all kinds of end of year lists but Grimes's other songs have been in various end of year lists.
In conclusion there are a few songs such as Oblivion, Genesis and Flesh Without Blood that have achieved better than WAP in all or most of the parameters you're using to define 'most successful' so therefore there is no basis to declare it as such.
Longer
She and FKA Twigs could do a really cool collab
They did wasn't my fav
Emily hancock I want her to COLLAB with marina and Lana Del Rey
@@shosikarevich She did with Janelle Monae not FKA Twigs
Isn’t it WONDERFUL
@@ulayla1605 marina and Lana need to collab first before anything else
Three years later. Still on repeat 🔥🔥🔥
And i_o is no longer with us. 😥
Grimes said that she had to wear a mask because she kept pulling weird faces. I think it was a nice touch and you can feel the emotion in her eyes alone.
bullshit
Are you sure the reason she wore a mask wasn't because she predicted corona pandemic?
Your a propaganda bot if you say this isn't satanic spellbinding schemes. Book cover 'Art of War' wasn't planned to be censored either?
Lysette K Right, that’s why she wore a mask, the same type of masks we are being forced to wear months after this video was made and when the pandemic was made up, predictive programming come to mind , anyone who has half a brain?
Lysette K I call total bullshit. If that were the case she'd have a mask on in every video.
give me 30 dollarsQ!
where do i send the e transfer hmu
Grimes great job!
you can have my whole bank account
Canadian or Peso?
*ihave no money*
Okay but her dancing is so good!!!!!! She needs to do more dancing videos I’m inlove 😍
Yes , i really love that moves 😍😍
Was surprised too! Also the editing on the dance part is masterful which helps enhance her moves!
Pixie Sarah barely basic moves. Stop it.
@@EllysaE proof that she can make basic look awesome!
Yeah she’s a pretty good dancer
I've known this song for 2 1/2 years now and I still listen to it daily. What a fine piece of art!
Those “I like it like thats” are pure ear candy
That was the corniest part of the song. Really cringey.
@@existentialhead8330 Yeah. Reminds me of Lana del Rey. Cringey.
Shinrin Yoku aw I love lana
Oh gosh it's just flat out horrible
Honestly the only part I don’t like
The way the synth and bass gets more and more intense at 1:55 just hits a different way. Goosebumps.
For REAL though. In grimes's songs it's always those things that really make it pop and take it to the next level for me. She just KNOWS what to do to make a song sound good and what she needs to add to make it even better.
Exactly
eraticmongaloid that’s all i_o 🙌🏻
@@oxylyon1541 what? 😂 This is a 100% i_o production ;)
claire its been 9 months you have literally grown a CHILD OF AN ALBUM i cannot wait
this is the most iconic thing i’ve seen in my life period.

Bruh she use that aloe vera and her skin probably doesn't know what the sun feels like.
she was born there
@@sugartrapbitch5143 why aloe did u know it ?
Do you want to go to a party? 🍁
Lmaooo
For everyone complaining about the censorship, it was actually a strike made by the specific publisher of the edition she had. Not TH-cam or her management.
huh, I've heard one other person say this too....I gotta do my research about this.
@@sunnimei3642GIYF
why would they do that, it´s literaly free publicity
@@Matutu27 I'm not part of their public relations team, so can't really help you. You can google more on the situation, though.
@@Matutu27 She should have had a custom cover made for the book.
I’m so ready for alien princess grimes and her ridiculously pretty girl army to take over the world
@Purge So im not the only one who noticed the girls stomach are guy shape stomach. But do you have any proof?
I don't understand what them being trans has to do with anything
same
@Purge trans girls then girls? Right? Or am I wrong here
@Purge That only makes it better.
what to do on a late night in 2024? play Grimes, repeat.
I can't stop watching this. It is kind of a addicting song.
I remember this song was on trending. I only clicked on because it looked aetheticallly pleasing. My life ended up changing after that and she is now on my top 3 artist. Gaga. Taylor. And grimes
Like a drug
All of I_O videos are addicting something mystical about them
If you don’t feel like living, remember you exist at the same time as Grimes ugh
This is why I don’t mind waiting patiently for her releases, always true to self works of art.
Still listening, still loving, still in awe.
it's nice to know that FKA and Grimes are killin' it again
Yes, these two queens need to collab!
Honestly
Oh yes 😍
@scarlett pebb so has grimes lol. Geidi Primes to now is a crazy journey
Wasn't a fan at first, still kind of on the fence, but there's something about her that I find so interesting. Like I'm really digging this song, and she is just so unique
I feel the same way!
Yes, i feel the same too!
same! after hearing Zheanis vocals be compared to her for so long I had to give her a listen. a little too pop-y for me, but really cool and well done!
Sameeeee 😛
Thanks for putting into words exactly how I feel about her.
She didn’t predicted 2020, she already knew.
@saber plandemic
Yep, she's part of an elite bloodline.
th-cam.com/video/bTZvZ4DThoc/w-d-xo.html&t=380&ab_channel=NardwuarServiette
She starts talking about her grandparents, but quickly stops herself because the slaves aren't supposed to know about that.
Still good music though.
yepp. being the girlfriend of Musk - they are all in on the PLANDEMIC!!! fucking pigs!!
@@FainaruFurasshu agree 100% good music but very disturbing facts...
you people are embarassing to humanity. Facemasks have been worn (in one way shape or form) to control disease since the dawn of time. Amazing, humans are so self centered these days. OMG IT MUST BE NEW BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING TO ...YOU!!! Christ. Read a book.
Love this song
I can't believe i_o passed away, it's making this year even worse. Losing A musician that can produce a masterpiece like this is a huge loss...
i cry everytime i think about it
@@matamorosa me too.. there will Never be a techno producer like Garrett! I love that man so much I saw a hoodie he wore on his Instagram and bought the same exact one just to feel close to him. I know sounds weird but it seems to work cause I see him in dreams and keep seeing 444 everywhere without trying to look for it
@@auroraskywalker4475 what?! What means seeing 444 everywhere? Me too. Please tell me. I saw at The Code that four means death
@@sinistradeathmetal Google the number 444 and you will see the name "Willow Soul" they interpret very Well! It goes into detail what 444 means.
It's Angel signs.
NOT death.
The good dancing isnt surprising she was in ballet for a long time....grimes can do no wrong
gnar ghh2 didn't know that
Lol the LIES !!!!
@@promethea8916 ya bunch of her interviews she talk about it...u should check em out..check out her kexp video she mentions it and its one of her best performances imo
@@noes9849 lol the ignorance!!
“Good dancing”???
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Grimes voice: 🧚♀️
good one 👌🏻
Yeah, but she can't sing that well live:/
Lizbeth Vargas True, but she is a producer more than a vocalist
LEGIT! 😂
Lizbeth Vargas she’s way better when she’s not doing it while jumping and moving around at the same time
I need more music like this… Grimes is so cool… and this song tops everything! Amazing 😮💨😱❤️
I just discovered this song. I feel so sad I missed out on this heavenly woman for so long.
Omfg same her songs take you to other dimensions.
Endrit K. Mannnnn I feel you. Her whole latest album takes me to a futuristic world.
Focus on the Joy of Discovery.
Same!
Just found this, too. It’s a great song
