Fear, anxiety, shame, guilt, depression, anger, sadness, vulnerability, disgust and helplessness! I wasn't ready then, but I'm ready now! I now have the strength, knowledge, courage and determination to confront and fight back against the bigotry, prejudice, intolerance, hatred, inequity, judgment and violence against our beautiful community because of who we are or who we love! Thank you for the awesome powerful song! ❤🌈❤
Thank you young man for your beautiful & honest words in your wonderful new song. You've made this ( almost!) 70 year old gay man cry...Mixed emotions, but mostly happy tears. Cheers & much success to you!
I hope you realize the amount hope, love, and belonging this song has brought to so many lgbtq+ people and even our straight allies who want to protect us and give us strength to continue and live in bliss.
Grant, I follow you since American Song Contest and you were my only winner. Im so happy you can make your music and be yourself. Thanks for inspiring new generations too. So much love from Spain❤
So proud of you Grant and I mean this when I say you have helped me so much forging and opening up to few people about me since you came out. I'll never stop supporting you and your work. You are so talented and such a great role model.
The CHILLS that I am feeling!! It's like how it was hearing it for the first time 🥹🥹😭😭😭 Grant.. dammit man.. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Love this, love you, love you all. Love is Love and don't be too afraid to be your authentic self. It can be scary as hell but for every one person who may not accept u for who and what you are, there's a 100 more that will. 🫶🏾
@@GrantKnoche To every soul OUT THERE: All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts. Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.” (Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain). Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS). That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN: Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
@theharshtruthoutthere I think you forgot the words of Jesus " Thou shalt not judge or you shall be judged" When you judge others you are taking the position of God.Condeming yourself to the fires of hell by violating the most serious of Comandments. Thou shalt have no Gods before me. Repent before it is too late! I will pray for soul.
Grant, you have brilliantly articulated the pre-coming-out stress and post-coming-out euphoria, precisely how I felt forty years ago when I came out to my family and friends. Fortunately, I didn't lose a single friendship among everyone I told I was gay. As time passed, I would tell people who asked if I were gay, "Yep." Folks - if you are gay and still dependent upon your parents or other family for housing and food, come out ONLY when you are independent and paying your own way. Please don't risk losing your security by coming out to parents or guardians whom you believe may react negatively - and disown you.
This is AMAZING!!! I love this song and the video was perfect storytelling! The vulnerability and impact this has on so many! Congratulations and so proud of you, Grant!!
Im so so glad I was introduced to this song. This song truly hits me so hard. We have different situations, but as someone who isn't out to their parents, hearing the worry and emotion in your voice singing those lines brings me to tears. Keep making beautiful music!!
Being scared is natural. There are so many amazing coming out stories filled with love and acceptance, as well as a huge number of awful ones. Most however are quite pedestrian. It may take a short while for them to understand. But hopefully they'll be fine with accepting you for who you are. Only you know your circumstances. If you rely on them for a roof, or food, or money, then you'll need to consider that before coming out. Make sure that it's safe for you, and that you're doing it because you want to, not because you feel pressured to. Coming out is a gift that you give to the people you trust. The ones who love and support you for who you are. You're literally giving them a gift of your true self. Save that gift for the right people. And when you're ready, I hope your first hello is as beautiful as you are. ❤️🏳️🌈✊
It has been a while since you wrote this comment. In case you are still afraid, just take your time. Don't ever worry about when to do it. Everyone ought to do it on their own terms. Hang in there and take care of yourself!❤
Think of it like this, if heterosexuals don't have the need to come, neither do we. Unless there's this inferiority complex, we need to overcome. I don't think so.
I love this video and song so much… this was the song I’ve always needed and the lyrics “Oh, my, such a relief I can be me” stand out to me because after all these years I’ve finally learned to love myself and accept that fact that I’m queer/ or gay haven’t found the label I’m comfortable using quite frankly
love him, love him, love him! your song was hitting my heart, going straight into my soul and let me run some tears. everytime, since I heard your first hello.... ❤
Thank you for making this song an video it made me cry because as a bisexual for years every since I was 13 I always thought I was different an I needed help an I would basically fight with my self over it. But it also didn't help I had someone in my life that knew an treated me badly for it. But now that I'm in a better environment I accept an love who I am. Thank you for being a special human being 😊
Grant, I love this song so much. This might be your best one yet. It's been so much fun watching you blossom from a talented kid into an amazing artist. And you've gotten so handsome. You need to be doing some modeling and acting as well.
Oh my gosh, I stumbled onto the song which is probably the first recommendation from TH-cam that I absolutely love! You might like? Nah, you might love what's recommended for you.
Thank you so much for this absolutely poignant song and video. Beautifully done! It took me 38 years to finally come out. This song captures so much I what I was feeling all of those years. It is such a relief to finally be the unapologetic true version of myself. What you have done here let’s others know that they aren’t alone in their journey. Kudos❤️
Honestly, this popped up on my recommended and I like the song. I've never heard of you, till now, but I'm glad I clicked on this video. I'll be checking out the rest of your music. I wish you a great future.
I’ve already heard the song and loved it the moment I heard the previews but this video makes me get in my feelings all over again like it’s my first day hearing the song again
I love it! It's my birthday and this isn't the first time that a song was released on my birthday! It's so beautiful and some people don't get pride, but I do. Love is love, it don't matter what gender you are and as long as you're happy. Gay people rock!
Grant, this song helped me come out last year!!! If it wasn’t for your message, I probably wouldn’t have been able to me be myself yet. Keep on releasing your music❤
When i came out to my parents, i was scared. But they supported me through it all, but I'm still nervous to accept it because I'm afraid to get heartbroken or hurt. Thank you Grant for this song, I've watched you since Kidz Bop.
omg grant this made me cry you're the reason im still here breathing i love you so much im just waiting for you to become hella famous im just waitin for that day to come so i can witness it can say he made it and i knew it lysm🥲🥲🥲
I follow you since you popped up at my shorts with your outing to your dad and it hits me so mutch that i told my parents too. This text hits so deep and with this vision of your video you underlined it so well. You will be inspiring so many people to love them self who they are and what they can become! Thank you :)
This makes me cry every time i hear it, the fact that every single word is exactly how i feel is astonishing, you have no idea how mutch this song helpes me in my day to day life, it gives me confidence, and makes me love myself for who i am, thank you❤
You said it all in this song wow you captured so many peoples lives and wow on mine boggled by your impressive. God bless the beautiful pipes you have and God bless your talent because you are a great song.
We Love YOU Grant! It's such a beautiful song which will inspire many. Love is Love and the honest truth is "EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL LOVED AND COMFORTABLE IN THEIR OWN SKIN"♥
OMG! What a Beautiful song! I'm basically crying over the lyrics and music! If there were more like this to tell a story of coming out it would have not been so hard to do back 30 to 40 years ago! I can only pray and hope that you young individuals to go forward and be Yourself during this troubling times of our current political GOP system trying to move us(LGBTQ) folks back in the closet 50 to 60 years ago! DON'T STAND FOR THIS!!! STAND UP AND LET THE COUNTRY KNOW OF WHO YOU TRULEY ARE!!! ONLY YOU YOUNG FOLKS CAN BEAT AND CHANGE THE CURRENT POLICIES THAT WILL AFFECT ALL OF US IN THE LONG HAUL!
Congrats Grant. Great song followed by an amazing music video. I’ve been listening to your music since ASC2022 and you always deliver quality 😊 Will you make a Music Video for PLEASE HURRY? ❤ I wish you all the best

Wow. You are incredible. I’m so glad this new generation has artists like you to help with the coming out process. I came out at 14, in 1979 in NYC ❤
I love this song so much. The vulnerability in this song is heart touching.❤
The first hello sets the pace of a relationship, which improves or dies out. A spiritual hello is a saying which defines mentality and capability.
thank you for making this music. I listened to it a lot before coming out and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You saved my life
🥹aw wow! I’m happy it helped

Congratulations Grant ! I love your music. Listening from France 🇨🇵 🌈
Got goosebumps all over watching this and remember all i have been through to accept myself

Nothing to it. Write 'em a letter. This is how I came out. They will love you for whom you are, not for what you are not. Go.

I came out to them today, its the best thing ive ever done
Absolutely incredible I'm obsessed with the lyrics it is so original in the way it makes me feel
I was just so scared to come out to my mom and my siblings. I they approved of me. That made me so happy. I came out on October 1 2023.
