Its kinda funny when you realize that you've been listening to her ever since you first heard her adorable little yet strong voice back when she was still a young littile girl singing on stage infront of thousands of people on live tv....its kinda amazing how far shes grown..isn't it?
Cal 99ers 14 in January, though. Grace doesn't remind me of any 13-14 year old girl I knew at that age (granted that was 35 years ago😯). She is inexperienced, but wise beyond her years. Here's a car analogy (sorry, I'm a guy); it's like she's driving a Ferrari, but with the windows painted black except for a few tiny little slits here and there. In other words she has the IQ and social intelligence of an adult (a very clever one), but still lacks the experience to apply that intelligence in any given situation. Edited for typos.
Yes, definitely, one is talking about physical changes and the other comment, you can take either way, physical and or maturity. I'm amazed because I'm watching it daily and loving each step of her developement to the final step, the Greatest Female Stage Performer in history, and she may not need all the fireworks and lasers to do it too
Yes, definitely agree with your prognostication. Grace has said that she admires Katy Perry's over the top concerts, but I don't see her evolving that way either. Grace reminds me a lot of (a far more approachable) Debbie Harry (Blondie; just in case your not a fossil like me). Grace is a front-woman rock star. All Grace needs is a solid band behind her, a mic stand and an audience. I'm not a purist, I want her to have the modern accouterments of a large-scale concert, but one more along the lines of what her friend Shawn Mendes, or Adele, is doing. Giant screens behind her to show artistic relevant images that enhance the songs she's performing and appropriate mood/strobe lighting. She really doesn't need anything else. No shade on Taylor and Katy, as they are obviously doing more than just fine with what they do, but they NEED the enormous productions and dance troupes to distract the audience from the lack of pure vocal talent and a natural ability to mesmerize an audience with overflowing charisma and striking art. Grace has this covered from her very first real show (all the other performances over the last year were benefit concerts or brief appearances). The ACL show yesterday was her first commercial concert where she had to entertain a crowd that paid their hard-earned money only to see her perform. I was floored by the concert footage from yesterday, absolutely floored. Can you imagine what she'll be capable of when she's Lorde's age?
Sweet Grace, you are the best gift to the music industry that I can ever remember. why? because your songs have such an amazingly powerful message and YOU WROTE THEM. People who have been in the industry for years and who write songs can't TOUCH you when it comes to your lyrics. You have such an amazing heart and soul, it's beyond extraordinary. Thank u Grace, for sharing your beyond immense talent with the world. I hope u realize how many people u have truly touched with your songs. All my best little lady. 😊😊
YAAASSS!!😝 😝 ROCK OUT! Great song! and I LOVE your vocals - SING it Grace!!! Your voice is incredible. OMG your album is going to be insane!! Every new song is different and wonderful and so cool. Your song writing is so original and clever, and "this is just the beginning". I can't wait to see you sing this live on stage!! Big hit Grace, BIG HIT!! Congratulations, on Escape My Mind, and all these incredible new songs. 😊😊
Fredee, Grace wrote this entirely on her own...no co-writing credit. This song is an achievement that many songwriters who have been at this for years would be proud of. Amazing.
+Mark Lalonde Yep. The variety and originality on this album is going to blow many minds - especially her competition. This is creativity and originality, not just "lets write a hit" garbage. I'm stunned! Bravo Grace!
OMG Grace, you just threw a rock across the Grand Canyon and made a solid hit!! This song is awesome, can't get enough of your music! Think this one will top the charts, Go Grace!
She is stunning! Grace is an inspiration to the world. She has superb raw talent! She is rising and I swear she will go until the sky is no longer close to the limit! "Miracles can happen, so maybe." She IS a miracle!
+Karina Li A majority of the super famous pop artists write few if any of their own songs. Grace is in a class of her own. Every idea and concept comes from her. Even the songs with co-writing credit begin with her original ideas. Her moonlight video was entirely her own concept - every scene planned out in her mind long before the video was actually made.
She is not that famous yet. That is why counters are low BUT look at like rate and percentage. She always gets around 99 % like/dislike and about 5 - 10 % like/view rate. This is insane! Other TOP artists are happy with just one percent like/view.
Karina Li That fact cannot escape my mind. So crazy talented! Writers block is my worst enemy but Grace comes out with great song after great song. Truly amazing. Bravo, bravo.
I love how very clever the lyrics are - you know, how something escapes your mind when you cannot remember it, so it's not in your mind, but she's turned it around brilliantly that she can't escape what IS in her mind. Smart.
My friend said to me “It’s weird to have an idol that’s the same age as you” and I said “Age doesn’t matter”. Grace you ARE my idol and I can’t explain. I am starting to write songs myself and I hope I can audition AGT with them! You made me think that the impossible can be made possible ❤️
Lyrics ! 💜 [Verse 1] It was wrong, well, it never worked Or at least I told myself To not make it hurt I try to blast music In attempt to get you out of my eyes But I can't escape my mind [Pre-Chorus] I hate you 'cause I've always Look at your picture And I tell myself That I'm over you But then I get a little unsure [Chorus] I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind [Verse 2] I know we were never a thing But I always think about What could've happened if we kept going And I never had this happen to me Only in the movies But honey it is happening [Pre-Chorus] I hate you 'cause I've always Look at your picture And I tell myself That I'm over you But then I get a little unsure [Chorus] I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind [Bridge] I can't escape my mind I wish I could turn it off sometimes Oh, I can't escape my mind Oh, no matter how hard I try I wish I could turn it off sometimes [Chorus] I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind
It was wrong, well, it never worked Or at least I told myself To not make it hurt I try to blast music In attempt to get you out of my eyes But I can't escape my mind I hate you 'cause I've always Look at your picture And I tell myself That I'm over you But then I get a little unsure I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind I know we were never a thing But I always think about What could've happened if we kept going And I never had this happen to me Only in the movies But honey it is happening I hate you 'cause I've always Look at your picture And I tell myself That I'm over you But then I get a little unsure I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind I can't escape my mind I wish I could turn it off sometimes Oh, I can't escape my mind Oh, no matter how hard I try I wish I could turn it off sometimes I wish I could get you Out of my mind But I think about it all the time And I wish I could not think For once in my life But when I see your face I can't escape my mind
I was reading into the lyrics and it seems like this is about a crush or boyfriend. I can't be the only one that thought this unless I just look too deep into things
I don't normally watch the talent seeking shows. I just happened to be flipping through channels and you caught my eye, I decided to watch out of curiosity. OMGosh! I was a fan instantly. You have such insight and ability to express in music what most people can't put into words. Your voice is unique and unmistakable. I am as proud of you as if I were your real grandmother. I am a 56 year old grandmother of three gorgeous and brilliant girls, two of which are teenagers. Your music relates an important message to me and my life as much as it does to my granddaughters. Do you realize how important and magical that is? Every time you record a new song, it becomes my new favorite. But your songs "Clay" and "Moonlight" will always be ultra special to me. You're not Taylor Swift, you're better, you're Grace Vanderwaal! There is no one to compare you to, you're in a class all your own, and how super special you are. I love you and your very special family.
what is humorous is the little boys who come on here and dis the older fans. They can't fathom that Grace's appeal goes to all ages, she's bringing older people back to the music scene. Problem is, a lot of older people can't handle Ariana and Selena, that stuff is for the kiddies
Yeah, I´m almost a 70yo grandad and still wondering how I was so strongly attached to this young interpreter, great singer, composer, etc. It´s been an infectious attraction ever since 18 months ago I chanced upon this AGT first presentation of a 12-year-old little girl, clad in her yellow pants, leaving all of us with or mouths agape singing her own creation! And the wonder continues with EVERY new song...How come???
Grace, I'm so proud of you. This is your song, you are the only credited writer. I love the punk rock meets indie folk vibe. Your vocals are raw and passionate when necessary and soft and sultry when you want it to. I am absolutely in awe, even more than usual, and can't wait to see you perform this gem live with your full band supporting you.
I've listened to this song at least, I'm not kidding, 80 times since Grace released it on Thursday and I still can't get over how sophisticated a vocal performance she delivers here. I don't mean sophisticated as in it was a technically perfect vocal performance following all of the rules a vocal coach would teach. No, I mean that Grace uses her voice to communicate all of the layers of emotion she needs to in what should really just be a simple bop. You can feel her deep seated frustration and anger that she can't get this person out of her mind, but then you feel how much she sweetly and tenderly loves the thought of that person in lines like, "but, honey, it is happening". And the very last line "but, when I see your face...I can't escape...my mind", you hear both emotions being projected simultaneously; the maddening frustration and the sweet longing. Grace is, at thirteen, one of the most expressive vocalists I've ever heard. I know it will be sacrilegious to some, but Grace uses her voice much in the same way Kurt Cobain did; raw, but brutally honest, and emotionally exposed where you can feel the pain, the joy, the anger, the longing at a very visceral level. Can't wait to hear the other songs (maybe this afternoon/evening when leaks from her show at Austin City Limits Festival start showing up on-line).
Posted this before, but following your remarks re the stand-out last line, here it is again: I love how very clever the lyrics are - you know, how something escapes your mind when you cannot remember it, so it's not in your mind, but she's turned it around brilliantly that she can't escape what IS in her mind. Smart.
I've lost track the number of times I've listened to this song. It's brilliant! Like Mark said it's simple but Graces authentic expression & spirit is what makes her songs so magical & powerful.
Ok this is weird.... normally I don’t like every song of an artist that’s why I don’t buy the albums.. but grace? Holy crap I love all of her songs🙌🏼 KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING💜
I'm 43 and fairly jaded, but Grace is the ONLY contestant I have ever voted for on any show. Dumped ALL my votes on her to win, SO glad she did! Guilty pleasure? Why? Much of the world loves her! Don't get me wrong, there were some really AWESOME acts along side Grace last year, but she had my heart from the moment she stepped on stage for that audition!
I'm crushing on someone who doesn't give a f about my poor existence but I just can't stop it ,this song came and it's connecting to me on a spiritual level I REALLY NEEDED THIS THANK YOU SM
The best pop song I've heard in years. The way she milks that minor chord; never hitting it the same way twice. Grace is a writing/singing genius. "Blast the music/ out of my eyes??? GENIUS !!!!
She's super awesome, and is a HUGE inspiration to my channel. If you could check out my cover of Escape My Mind, that would be so special to me. Thanks! :D
Grace, HOW DO YOU DO IT? You don't let the pressure surrounding you affect you at all, your music is simply AMAZING! Who else agrees? Favourite album of 2017 ;D
Ronin Durey that's what I think about every song she releases...until the next one comes out.😀 Here are 4 brand new songs off of her upcoming album that haven't been officially released yet. They were recorded two days ago at her concert at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The images are montages from the show set to the music in the background... "Florets" most likely the new single coming out in a week or two...th-cam.com/video/RwrwwzwwSIg/w-d-xo.html "CITY SONG"...Grace's first anthemic song...th-cam.com/video/xDb9_5Evkvg/w-d-xo.html "BETTER LIFE"...an achingly beautiful song...th-cam.com/video/A1j2FUBKUc4/w-d-xo.html "TALK GOOD"...this is a monster hit waiting to happen...th-cam.com/video/xM6KsZuD-Ds/w-d-xo.html
Escape my mind is undoubtedly one of the most lively songs, where the artist demonstrates all her energy and charisma accompanied by a strong and contagious instrumental rhythm. Grace has an indescribable talent and a beautiful voice, she is amazing, congratulations and "always success" !!!
This is spectacular! Are you kidding me? This is powerful and purely motivated and honest! Every performance of hers on this album is so good! And it can’t be autotune because it’s full of nuances of pitch all over the place!
hailee classy but sassy tip of girl eraselly wow hailee are you the first smart person I hear say that finaly someone with a brain SAME she sounds like a boy In one of her songs trust me don't here it will hive you nightmerrs
I remember watching her on tv then the moment her album came out I downloaded I’m so honored to see grace grow as an artist she has such a beautiful voice and so much talent
It's amazing how Grace can write songs so quickly. With most artists, they take many months to write just one. "So Much More Than This" only came out a few weeks ago, and she already has a new spectacular song that I can't get out of my head. Keep writing, Grace!
You are not just a human, you are the good energy of this world, I can't pass much time without listening your songs or I will be sad, you are the charger to my battery. Congrats, Grace! #Brasil.
“And I tell myself that I’m over you but then I get a little unsure” deep meaning
I LITERALLY JUST HEARD THAT RN
I don’t get it
😢
its the best lyric to me in the whole song.
Not deep at all
My body is literally shaking. Her voice and lyrics gives me chills. I'm so glad to witness Grace's growth!
what does this have anything to do with mentality?
Bob KLR Fuckin Metal Yeah! haha!
StrawberryHero I know right
sooooo gooooodddd
Un known kids listen to Grace to you know you do not have use the f word
Its kinda funny when you realize that you've been listening to her ever since you first heard her adorable little yet strong voice back when she was still a young littile girl singing on stage infront of thousands of people on live tv....its kinda amazing how far shes grown..isn't it?
Natalie Plays, Amazing indeed, not to forget that she is more than 4'' taller by now ;))
And yet to me a 13yr old isn't much different than a 12 yr old
Cal 99ers 14 in January, though. Grace doesn't remind me of any 13-14 year old girl I knew at that age (granted that was 35 years ago😯).
She is inexperienced, but wise beyond her years. Here's a car analogy (sorry, I'm a guy); it's like she's driving a Ferrari, but with the windows painted black except for a few tiny little slits here and there. In other words she has the IQ and social intelligence of an adult (a very clever one), but still lacks the experience to apply that intelligence in any given situation.

i literally started tearing up. this is so beautiful and i’m so incredibly proud of her
She is stunning! Grace is an inspiration to the world. She has superb raw talent! She is rising and I swear she will go until the sky is no longer close to the limit! "Miracles can happen, so maybe." She IS a miracle!

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that she is a 13 year old writing music even better than some of the super famous artists out there??
And deserves so much more views!! Just wait til she's like 20 she's gonna take over
Olivia Lee I know right! She really knows how to rock the stage, too 🤙🏻

this girl is going to keep putting out great songs for years. I hope every one is prepared to fall further under her magical music spell.
She just gets better and better 😍😍
tiny elephant the good just gets better 😀
My friend said to me “It’s weird to have an idol that’s the same age as you” and I said “Age doesn’t matter”. Grace you ARE my idol and I can’t explain. I am starting to write songs myself and I hope I can audition AGT with them! You made me think that the impossible can be made possible ❤️
Heck, she's my idol and I'm 5 times her age. Don't sweat it.
NO MATTER WHAT SHE WRITES I RELATE WHAT THIS IS CRAZY!!!! EVERY SONG GETS TO ME BECAUSE I RELATE WAYYYY TOO MUCH

Lyrics ! 💜
[Verse 1]
It was wrong, well, it never worked
Or at least I told myself
To not make it hurt
I try to blast music
In attempt to get you out of my eyes
But I can't escape my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate you 'cause I've always
Look at your picture
And I tell myself
That I'm over you
But then I get a little unsure
[Chorus]
I wish I could get you
Out of my mind
But I think about it all the time
And I wish I could not think
For once in my life
But when I see your face
I can't escape my mind
[Verse 2]
I know we were never a thing
But I always think about
What could've happened if we kept going
And I never had this happen to me
Only in the movies
But honey it is happening
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate you 'cause I've always
Look at your picture
And I tell myself
That I'm over you
But then I get a little unsure
[Chorus]
I wish I could get you
Out of my mind
But I think about it all the time
And I wish I could not think
For once in my life
But when I see your face
I can't escape my mind
[Bridge]
I can't escape my mind
I wish I could turn it off sometimes
Oh, I can't escape my mind
Oh, no matter how hard I try
I wish I could turn it off sometimes
[Chorus]
I wish I could get you
Out of my mind
But I think about it all the time
And I wish I could not think
For once in my life
But when I see your face
I can't escape my mind
mashal zahra bridge not upside dowm....but I wish I could turn it OFF SOMETIME.... both te lines.

I was reading into the lyrics and it seems like this is about a crush or boyfriend. I can't be the only one that thought this unless I just look too deep into things
My God, Grace definitely know what aesthetic is, by sound AND visuals
This song is way to relatable and accurate. I love her way of singing oh my goodness, this song slays as much as her.
I don't normally watch the talent seeking shows. I just happened to be flipping through channels and you caught my eye, I decided to watch out of curiosity. OMGosh! I was a fan instantly. You have such insight and ability to express in music what most people can't put into words. Your voice is unique and unmistakable. I am as proud of you as if I were your real grandmother. I am a 56 year old grandmother of three gorgeous and brilliant girls, two of which are teenagers. Your music relates an important message to me and my life as much as it does to my granddaughters. Do you realize how important and magical that is? Every time you record a new song, it becomes my new favorite. But your songs "Clay" and "Moonlight" will always be ultra special to me. You're not Taylor Swift, you're better, you're Grace Vanderwaal! There is no one to compare you to, you're in a class all your own, and how super special you are. I love you and your very special family.
Donna Moore that's a great post you have summed up why everyone in any generation can relate to Grace. Are your daughters fans too?
what is humorous is the little boys who come on here and dis the older fans. They can't fathom that Grace's appeal goes to all ages, she's bringing older people back to the music scene. Problem is, a lot of older people can't handle Ariana and Selena, that stuff is for the kiddies
🤗🤗👍🏾. Grace is amazing!! And to believe she is only 13. I’m very impressed.
Yeah, I´m almost a 70yo grandad and still wondering how I was so strongly attached to this young interpreter, great singer, composer, etc. It´s been an infectious attraction ever since 18 months ago I chanced upon this AGT first presentation of a 12-year-old little girl, clad in her yellow pants, leaving all of us with or mouths agape singing her own creation! And the wonder continues with EVERY new song...How come???
this girl only drops bangers wtf
exactly what i was thinking ahah how does she do it
Grace is so amazing, her talent will flow ... and we follow the path...
Whenever I listen to her songs I always feel like a proud parent. 😭
Lol me too and I'm one year older than her :)
Grace, I'm so proud of you. This is your song, you are the only credited writer. I love the punk rock meets indie folk vibe. Your vocals are raw and passionate when necessary and soft and sultry when you want it to. I am absolutely in awe, even more than usual, and can't wait to see you perform this gem live with your full band supporting you.
I LOVE ALL OF HER SONGS GOSHH
I've listened to this song at least, I'm not kidding, 80 times since Grace released it on Thursday and I still can't get over how sophisticated a vocal performance she delivers here. I don't mean sophisticated as in it was a technically perfect vocal performance following all of the rules a vocal coach would teach.
No, I mean that Grace uses her voice to communicate all of the layers of emotion she needs to in what should really just be a simple bop. You can feel her deep seated frustration and anger that she can't get this person out of her mind, but then you feel how much she sweetly and tenderly loves the thought of that person in lines like, "but, honey, it is happening". And the very last line "but, when I see your face...I can't escape...my mind", you hear both emotions being projected simultaneously; the maddening frustration and the sweet longing.
Grace is, at thirteen, one of the most expressive vocalists I've ever heard. I know it will be sacrilegious to some, but Grace uses her voice much in the same way Kurt Cobain did; raw, but brutally honest, and emotionally exposed where you can feel the pain, the joy, the anger, the longing at a very visceral level.
Can't wait to hear the other songs (maybe this afternoon/evening when leaks from her show at Austin City Limits Festival start showing up on-line).
Mark, she knows how much many of us love her and it still does not make her vain. Not even a bit. One more reason to find her adorable.
Posted this before, but following your remarks re the stand-out last line, here it is again: I love how very clever the lyrics are - you know, how something escapes your mind when you cannot remember it, so it's not in your mind, but she's turned it around brilliantly that she can't escape what IS in her mind. Smart.
I've lost track the number of times I've listened to this song. It's brilliant! Like Mark said it's simple but Graces authentic expression & spirit is what makes her songs so magical & powerful.
peacefulwarriorxo - yes, exactly, no matter the subject matter she pours herself into her songs with such conviction, it's really beautiful.
+Ernst Müllner we'll over trillion of you could like ger but at least 1 out of a million like me don't
Ok this is weird.... normally I don’t like every song of an artist that’s why I don’t buy the albums.. but grace? Holy crap I love all of her songs🙌🏼
KEEP DOING WHAT YOURE DOING💜
Same
Funny, people said that about the Beatles too
same she's amazing!
man time changed. I remember being obsessed with this song when it came x she was my biggest inspiration ahhh
What a fairy queen 💕💕
You might not know this but theres an anime called Fairy Tail and i thought u were going to say" What a fairy tail queen" .....
I'm a 24 year old man with a beard who was just at a Metallica concert this summer but Grace Vanderwaal is my guilty pleasure lol
Metallica and Pantera fan here and I am a FanderWaal
I'm 43 and fairly jaded, but Grace is the ONLY contestant I have ever voted for on any show. Dumped ALL my votes on her to win, SO glad she did! Guilty pleasure? Why? Much of the world loves her! Don't get me wrong, there were some really AWESOME acts along side Grace last year, but she had my heart from the moment she stepped on stage for that audition!
I'm a thrash/speed metal fan myself and also a Vanderwaal fan, guilty pleasure for sure.
I'm a little bit of a Metal fan, but I like a LOT of different genres. (Music is music, genre shouldn't matter if it's good music). Grace is AWESOME!
Greg, u simply r totally nuts.
The Sublime Lemur.
Her song writing just keeps getting better.
my best friend has uploaded her first song th-cam.com/video/i6x30dX_uHo/w-d-xo.html 🥺
I'm crushing on someone who doesn't give a f about my poor existence but I just can't stop it ,this song came and it's connecting to me on a spiritual level I REALLY NEEDED THIS THANK YOU SM
Connie Lee same...
Grace is a ROCK STAR!
I'm in love with the voice!! This girl has serious chops!
i relate to this song so harshly that it's tearing me apart but it's such an amazing song that i can't stop listening
Me too sweethearts
The best pop song I've heard in years. The way she milks that minor chord; never hitting it the same way twice. Grace is a writing/singing genius. "Blast the music/ out of my eyes??? GENIUS !!!!
+WDCousins I second that!! Listening to Grace's new creations it like viewing a freshly painted Rembrandt - I feel privileged!
It's been a hot minute since this was released and the rasp at 0:28 is still the best thing that the world has ever heard
Who else is grateful that this is on the internet?
every second of her singing is flowing like the medicine you need in this time.
staysafeeveryoneandlistentoGrace.
I don't like people telling me what to do, but in this case, I can't get mad, you're telling me to listen to Grace, you can't ear rape the willing!
Why are you so underrated! I love your music Grace 💛
Such an amazing song and you always look so beautiful!!
This is one of the best songs she’s ever made
This is the most relatable song for me. Ive never related this much to any song ever
I love your songs grace..... anyone else thinks her voice is getting better and better?
I love when Grace makes upbeat songs like this! ✨💎
O MY GOSH grace vanderwaal your my 1st biggest fan in the whole wide world

She was born to be a musician . Shes just constantly making music.
You have to stare at the center of the picture for about 5 minutes
I love this song....listening to your album on repeat. I love Grace. super talented. Her voice is soooo amazing.
Simply AMAZING!!! :D
Of course❤❤
She's super awesome, and is a HUGE inspiration to my channel. If you could check out my cover of Escape My Mind, that would be so special to me. Thanks! :D
Well that doesn't say much. Tori Kelly isn't a one and only. LOL! :P
+Laura Tuller and plus this girl isn't evin pretty she just as inoying as jojo siwa
If you don't like Grace, then leave . NO ONE is even asking YOU to stay. Bye.
Grace, HOW DO YOU DO IT? You don't let the pressure surrounding you affect you at all, your music is simply AMAZING! Who else agrees? Favourite album of 2017 ;D
this is her best song yet damnnnnn
Ronin Durey that's what I think about every song she releases...until the next one comes out.😀
Here are 4 brand new songs off of her upcoming album that haven't been officially released yet. They were recorded two days ago at her concert at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The images are montages from the show set to the music in the background...
"Florets" most likely the new single coming out in a week or two...th-cam.com/video/RwrwwzwwSIg/w-d-xo.html
"CITY SONG"...Grace's first anthemic song...th-cam.com/video/xDb9_5Evkvg/w-d-xo.html
"BETTER LIFE"...an achingly beautiful song...th-cam.com/video/A1j2FUBKUc4/w-d-xo.html
"TALK GOOD"...this is a monster hit waiting to happen...th-cam.com/video/xM6KsZuD-Ds/w-d-xo.html
my new favorite of yours, tbh
Same!
S.A.M.E.
(^ ^)same (^ ^)
SAME
same for me
She's such a great songwriter
her songs keep getting better !!
Escape my mind is undoubtedly one of the most lively songs, where the artist demonstrates all her energy and charisma accompanied by a strong and contagious instrumental rhythm. Grace has an indescribable talent and a beautiful voice, she is amazing, congratulations and "always success" !!!
my best friend has uploaded her first song th-cam.com/video/i6x30dX_uHo/w-d-xo.html ❤
0:28 is the best part!😍.... But let's be real, the BEST part is from 0:00 - 3:18!!!❤
My first song th-cam.com/video/i6x30dX_uHo/w-d-xo.html ♡♡♡
This is spectacular! Are you kidding me? This is powerful and purely motivated and honest! Every performance of hers on this album is so good! And it can’t be autotune because it’s full of nuances of pitch all over the place!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I just loved this song so much!!! Can't stop listening to it.
Natani de Brida same

Mindblowing once again!
Miss Margaret Ann when is it not (★^★)
Never! :)
this is SO relatable in so many ways.....
I can't wait for her new album! Her songs are just so good and her lyrics too. Really love you! Thank you for singing!!!
I remember watching her on tv then the moment her album came out I downloaded I’m so honored to see grace grow as an artist she has such a beautiful voice and so much talent
Hope Thoms It's really cool watching her grow. Our little Grace in yellow pamts is growing before our eyes...
really this girl got that talent and vocals
Who else knows the song is gonna be great before they watch it??❤️❤️
your songs burns so much that the light of your songs can see the world !
such a beautiful song and soul who wrote it
I hate the greatness of this song because it's exactly how I'm feeling right now😦 ❤💔💞
She's such an adorable girl and a talented singer. I hope she is still successful in years to come
her songs are so simple, yet so understandable!
I love when she does that raspy belting it’s so awesome
My favorite thing Iove about her music is that it isn't predictable! ( In terms of melody!)
It's amazing how Grace can write songs so quickly. With most artists, they take many months to write just one. "So Much More Than This" only came out a few weeks ago, and she already has a new spectacular song that I can't get out of my head. Keep writing, Grace!
I love when she screams like dat!!!!
same
this could be taken very dirtily
hipstersheep 😐
It wasn't intended at all. Plus I'm a girl, naughty!!!
+Neil Finnegan totaly agree with you are you a fan or disliker
It doesn't matter whatever the lyrics is...her voice always gives me goosebumps ...
It's so crazy to think that voice is coming out of such a little girl so beautiful
You are not just a human, you are the good energy of this world, I can't pass much time without listening your songs or I will be sad, you are the charger to my battery. Congrats, Grace! #Brasil.
