After seeing this explanation of the song, it's gone from a song I like to a song I love.
she didnt even explain it. majority of this was just singing. she said nothing more than what you could pick up from the lyrics (basically the obvious) actually i think i came up with more theories alone
same
Pikachu Thompson, I'm with you. This has been my favorite Grace song since I first heard it, but I really, really love it now. I know I'm in the minority, but when I listen to music, I listen to the music (including the voice as a musical instrument), but not so much to the words. Sometimes I pick up on things, usually not. (I thought Jeremy by Pearl Jam was about an autistic boy who had a verbal breakthrough in class one day. Yeah, that's my level of attention to lyrics.) I have heard a criticism that Grace is too young to understand what she's singing about, but that's clearly nonsense. Now that I know what this song is about, and now that I've actually paid attention to the words, wow. So eloquent, and so expressive! Match those powerful words to Grace's powerful vocal expression, and it's just amazing. In 30 years, this song will still be loved and played on whatever we have for radio :)
She did explain it but he should have titled it Official Lyrics and Inspiration for Moonlight. Some people are more perceptive than others, age has nothing to do with it. Knowing your best friend so well that you can see her personality suddenly change and the final results is hospitalization for depression. The promise of friendship through think or thin and recalling they're good times together
13 years old and not only aware of other people's mental health issues, but truly compassionate about them? To understand that there is no getting around or replacing therapy and counselling for people with mental health issues. To be able to write songs about these problems without making fun of the problems, or the people who suffer from them? At 13?? I suffer from suicidal depression, and my life and my family DID fall apart and break like so much glass. This IS my life in her lyrics. I will respect this human being named Grace Vanderwaal for as long as I continue to live. May whatever Powers That Be bless and guard her, now and always.
Your not suffering anymore thanks to her
Mike Harrington 13 year olds arent dumb...or little ass kids who dont face problems. Jesus christ
Abby H. That's what I was thinking were not all stupid lil bitches 😂 we understand shit like mental illness believe it or not everyone who's 13 years old is old enough to understand shit like that were not stupid
whydou care you can’t always rely on people’s ages, to measure their intelligence. everyone’s different. :)
Don't act like other 13 year-olds don't understand. Even if they don't write songs about it, they aren't dumb.
SHE'S SO PRETTY
Aishah Nordvall I KNOW RIGHT AND ARMY?
+YA PLAYA HATERS YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF BRR
RIGHT HERE! SHE'S AMAZING💗
Everyone hyped up malu and Danielle but I honestly think she is so underrated she's so young and has the best voice
Taehyung's Girlfriend agreed and nice to meet you I’m yoongi’s girlfriend
YA PLAYA HATERS YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF BRR wow let's b bffs

Honestly, this makes me choke up. The way she describes mental illness is so true. I had a close friend who just completely changed and no longer wants me in their life. There’s a spark that was lost...and the way she describes it is so accurate. It’s like they’re just gone, lost in their own world. And you can’t do anything to bring them back. It’s something they have to bring back in themselves. But losing that person is so, so hard.
It is so incredibly hard- a grieving. 😞🙏
Honestly it’s actually impossible to hate on her. Because she’s never been in love, and she’s a normal 13 year old girl, but in a way she’s different. Not just because she’s an amazing singer and beautiful and famous, but also because she’s so metaphorical. Her songs are so deep and it’s so amazing and I can’t wait for what the future holds for her. Also her voice is raspy and I’m djfjajd
Madison Kneiss she’s 15
Kiera M. This was when when she was 13.
So she never had a crush?
Favourite part of the video 0:00 to 4:22

This is how a 13 years old should act unlike those kids from musically that are twerkin and showing their bodies lmao
Edit: Its tik tok now
Buzz Horan true lmao💀
Buzz Horan true true true true true true true true true true 10000% like especially the kids at my school that are like 10 and 11
Like Danielle Cohn
Fresh Buzz thank you Danielle where is the dress that she has
Dani:I threw that away for fake Gucci
Me:what the fuck?!?
Fresh Buzz
True I want to be her friend so bad
I love the fact that she is one of the few in this series actually singing her lyrics a cappella. She's got skills, no one can deny that.
I always feel like she's talking about herself because her song "idk my name" is her original which also portrays a lost feeling. I feel like that person she talked about is herself. But i don't know 🤷♀️ but it seems like it.
Lali Sha she said that song was about her sister in one interview
Everything Paris oh alright thank you
i thought she said the song was about a friend
Beautiful thing was about her sister but this is about a friend!
Its about "her friend" yeah, like any young star she is finding out that she will not have time to have a life of her own, so it does seem like her in a way. I saw her playing with her uke in a wood pile as a gawky teenager. She probably will be missing that. Shes going to blow up and be the next it girl queen
man I'm so happy for this girl I remember seeing her winning agt and now she has a song with over 16 million hits! she didn't give up and she's still growing. she's a true star.
Not Named Marino she has the number 5 album on iTunes right now.
First time I have heard her sing totally acappella.. She's even more incredibly talented than I originally thought!!!
I laugh every time I hear that little meek voice she does. "so do you like, want to write a song now?" The same one she does in her I want strawberries video. I'm not going to try and wrap my head around her singing/writing talent. It is so off the chain. Especially given the fact she is 13. IMG modeling? No surprises there. She hit the genetics jackpot.
A capella, and no autotune. Still perfect. But it's this girl's mind that always stops me in my tracks. Seems like a YT channel named "Genius" is a very apropos place to find Grace VanderWaal.
Plus I got sick and got type 1 diabetic and I got brighter and happier because when I came out of hospital I found Grace and she inspired and fixed my life sooooo much
It' a big man who doesn't respond to assholes like dylan
Absolutely love her music.She is soo good.
I only had one guitar shop on my side of town in NW Houston Texas 2 years ago. Now they're popping back up again everywhere 😍 It's phenomenal how she has inspired so many kids to learn a musical instrument. Thankyou for everything Grace! 🌎🌍🌏
Unbelievably beautiful in mind, body and spirit. Every once in a while there's a glimpse of the kid in her, but her wisdom and elegance is a literal miracle. Something (or Someone) is shining through her and the world is a brighter place because of it.
I think it's just her
literally an angel
The way her voice kinda skips and gets high and low is giving me life
She’s so young, but so intelligent. She had so much talent with her beautiful voice. She’s also so caring and understands a lot for her age. Speaks/sings very “grownup” yet still a child at heart. Can’t wait just to see her grow! We need more people like Grace in the world. She really is a miracle. 💛
Pretty hard to believe she's 13 at this interview
her voice is raspy but so chill to listen to
I said maybe, your gonna be the one that saves me and after all your my VanderWall.
i fell off my bed when i read this
Zoetrope _ 😂😂😂😂
You predicted the future. TF??
There's an actual song she did a version of it
Its vanderwaal😂😂😂
I appreciate this girl so much. I’m 13 and currently struggling through anxiety and depression. She’s really an amazing soul and I hope she achieves her dreams ❤️
I can relate to this song so much. Everyone says that I am the happiest person they have ever met but I am falling apart so much and no one can see it.
You and I are very much alike, then
It's the same thing for me, nobody understands my pain, and thinks I'm happy, whereas I'm not
SAME
She is so.. mature but at the same time so innocent
what a level of intellect and intelligence for a 14 year old...restores my hope in humanity
and 13 when she did this
Omg. I never really paid attension to the lyrics and now it all makes sense
grace is so talented. Just from hearing her talk you can tell she's mature and smart. She deserves this success, and she will only grow and become bigger in this world. Im so proud of her
she’s literally incredible I cantttt❤️ loved her from the beginning
I love Grace, she is so pure and beautiful, I’m so proud of her ❤️
This girl is GENIUS. Period.. In those young age she can find and write song like that. She describe everything in her own way, i see an old soul and bright future for her and she's left handed. Powerfull combination for become a STAR.
SHES SO PRETTY OMG
she's so young and her songs are so deep. Like at this age already. Wow. Just wow.
I knew it she was going to sing while doing this✨🎤
@immy leese no not everyone does, Hayley Kiyoko didnt.
Love this, all my friends left me when my depression got really bad, they would make excuses and i would hear comments like “dont invite her, its just too much” , all i wanted was support. that ended up in me making horrible choices due to my bpd, i know its a tough condition for other people to see, but the fact that they just had enough without even telling me what was wrong was the worst part. I got a bf a year later and has been with me for 3 years, seen the best and worst and i finally feel like i found someone who will never leave me. Too bad my friends thought that way, but i guess you figure out who really cares for you in the worst times. What im getting at is that if you are a friend of someone with mental illness dont asume they are good cause they are smiling, be there for them, and if they really are your friend, never leave them... it all gets better, but support is needed
Children don't understand depression, they don't even consider that when they deal with an erratic person. Children are cruel because of their ignorance. They can only judge by the knowledge they have. This is a bit different but I was in love with a girl in 8th grade and she was mean to me. I was able to date every girl I liked but her, she was the girl I wanted to be with. I found out years later her father was sexually assaulting her during that time. I would never in a million years consider that being the reason for her meaness
I need a friend like grace in my life who’ll be that positive boost in your life and help you when u need it 💓💓
And I’m here 13 years old not really slacking, me and my brother share a ukulele and the first song I memorized was “I Don’t Know My Name”, she’s actually my inspiration.
She's going to be the next national treasure. Like a young Florence Welsh.
Grace is like my fav person ever
I love the song Moonlight, and I love it even more now that I understand more what it’s about. I’ve had big problems with anxiety and can totally relate to the idea of my life turning into the fake life/make that I have, and it’s really scary. Hearing Grace come out and address it is amazing
OMG 😱 I LOVE GRACE VANDERWALL, literary have heard everything she has made so far
"It's all Gucci, it's all good" 😄
Omg her voice is sooo relaxing and soothing 😍😍
Her voice has gotten so much better not saying it wasn’t good before but wow its has gotten so much better
Having these kind of artists is such a blessing. You know, like they have such a beyond amazing talent in songwriting and their voices are beautiful and their great personality, down to earth... Thank you for ever existing. God bless you
This just proves she doesn't need auto tune..
"so um do you wanna like write a song now?" PROBABLY THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD (the fact that she's so famous but still is this awkward teenager kinda makes me happy)
Never gets old😌
She is so shy!! I love that!
Grace love your acapella!!!
Was in Bath & Body Works and hearing these lyrics with this music, I was like, wow this sounds like a fun pop song but with lyrics that are actually meaningful...there's no way any young adult on the radio could have wrote this since it's too deep--and then bam! It's the tween Grace Vanderwaal! Great song.
I can't tell who's more beautiful her voice or her
grace is so wise. and so talented !!!
She’s beautiful man
Andree Xo thought you said she's a beautiful man😋
😂*
Jack Goddard me too xD I read your reply and was like, "Wait.. they DIDN'T?"
Thank you for bring awareness toward mental health grace !!!!!

LucasVFX You need to be open minded
I’m really glad that us younger teens have someone that represents us so well. I know we’re young but a lot of of us really do have struggles with mental health and are able to empathise with this song.
Wow she’s grown up so much already
Fham this girls is UNIQUE everything about her form her style to her voice .
I can relate to this song 110%
Grace is so real and amazing, especially for her age. I'm excited to see her in concert. I love her💞
Beautiful as always little grace! Love u a lot
I love her voice and her mind. It might just be me but she's so mature and she speaks with eloquence and meaning. She's able to comprehend the reality things and I really like that about her.
