I'm 51, an award winning author and have won (in a choir) the Youth & Music Festival in Austria and the Expo in Vancouver, yet this 13 year old girl gives my life perspective. She is God sent.
It's practically criminal her management only included this song, Lungs, on the copies sold at Target. It's an important/milestone/defining song that solidifies her arrival at the next level of her craft. It's a masterpiece, and I'm confident many successful song writers and performers would agree.
I still cannot believe this....Ive never "fangirled" over anyone in my life....but literally every song since Audition has just been....I dont know...I dont have the words...Im a 40 yr old man and she doesn't even sing the type of music I'd general listen to yet,I find myself watching vid after vid on repeat...every time i hear a new song its my new favorite be it a cover or an original.....and now the new album with bonus tracks...i think every new song is the best til I hear the next one....how do you choose a favorite? I sit back in amazement as i listen....she makes me feel something I can't put words to...I get tears when I listen to her...and I've never n my life done that for any artist,including Adele.so Of someone can shed some light on the Grace tears issue....that'd be great...lol
I don't know, sometimes I question myself "Something wrong with me, or she is really that good" the think is, 99% of time I can't stand kids performing, I have that cringe feeling. It like you witness someting extraordynary, you standing there in disbelieve look other peopol and asking "Do you see what I see ?" I'm teling you it have to be someting in the water LOL damn kids today... LOL
First time I showed my brother he wept. He showed his wife who is made of stone and she didn’t get it. So think only really truly soulful people are open to Grace. I said it once I’ll say it again she speaks to the Inner God in all of us. That’s why we get emotional. We long for something more than we live and she is taking us by the hand and bringing us there. She may not know what or how she is doing what she is doing but we are put here for a reason as Grace says fate. This is her destiny to touch our hearts and minds with some angelic harmonies and a voice from the past, present, and future. I’m past the halfway point of my life. I’ve listened music from all genres and this music has got me wrapped up. I’m all in till the end. Never cared much about being a mega fan of anything except Derek Jeter and Martin Broderick. I thought I was blessed to be able to watch something like that kind of greatness in my lifetime. But now I’m enthralled by a13 year hippie chick who can rock a ukulele or a tambourine or even a guitar. Just crazy!!!
A truly inspiring sweet and beautiful young genius. The world certainly knows her name and will recognize her awesome talent for years to come. I listen to her music almost every day and I’m 82 years old. What a blessing to have such an amazing performer.
Listening, I am back in the early 70’s... Echo’s of John Lennon & Paul McCartney while they reached my soul with their music. Now a 13 year girl is doing the same thing... Very strange, but her dad does say “she has an old soul.”... I am glad she is just st the beginning of it all. All the best Grace.
My wife is in hospital fighting for her life with covid . I wish I could play this song for her. Today is 12/26/2020 I wish the air would fill the lungs of the love of my life and wife of 32+ years. Grace has a way of Expressing how I feel in so many of her early songs. Please anyone who sees this please pray that air begins filling my wife's lungs she is in critical condition at age 54 thank you everyone and especially Grace for such beautiful, meaningful songs.
This song is so euphoric. Hard to believe how much talent she possesses and how incredibly deep she touches me. It's almost spiritual. Love this artist. Well done Grace!
This generation is so used to listening to auto tune and generic songs being played on the radio, that they have no respect for unique and individual voices. I feel sorry for those born in 2009 and on. For those growing up not able to appreciate raw talent. I'm sure that when Bjork was introduced to the music industry, she was praised and respected for her unique vocals. Elliott Smith's vocals were raw and powerful...just him and the guitar. Joan Jett. Janis Joplin. Grace was truly born into the wrong generation. She doesn't receive the respect she deserves. She composes music, writes lyrics, speaks wisdom far beyond her years. Her song Lungs absolutely blew me away, as did her Billboard acceptance speech. She's eloquent and intelligent and knows the true meaning of work ethic, being humble, and staying true to yourself and others. I know she recently received hate for her constructive comment about Jacob Sartorius, but she's truly passionate about music and her fans, and just wanted to remind him of his humble beginnings and that although he thinks he works hard, he doesn't work nearly as hard as the artists that have come before them. Again, far too intelligent for a 13 year old girl. Grace Vanderwaal is truly a pop prodigy, and she's a true breath of fresh air to the industry. You know you're doing exceedingly well when your music is being featured in commericals and television shows, and when you've won a Billboard award, topped charts, performed at 2016's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, performed with and got approval from Cyndi Lauper, produced your own EP and debut album, et cetera. Say what you want, but this girl is going places....and quickly. Just think...it's only been a year. One year!
I don't think you could find a better role model. No, wait, I don't think ANYONE could find a better role model. How wonderful that she walks among us.
I think grace is very very underrated and be a lot more famous many of her songs should be on the radio in my opinion good luck grace with your career I’m
Lungs* Grace VanderWaal Produced by Greg Wells Album Just the Beginning 1 2 Lungs* Lyrics [Verse 1] Dancing flames into this glass castle And underground wax world Rushing water at the park Takes you to a different world [Chorus] And the air was filling my lungs Autumn was filling your lungs We're just trying to be young But little do we know that trying to be young Is what is making us grow old The air was filling my lungs Autumn was filling your lungs We're just trying to stay young But little do we know that trying to stay young Is what is making us grow old [Post-Chorus] That's what That's what is making us grow old [Verse 2] A patter of rain pattering on my window Makes me smile and feel refreshed But then I'm walking down the street In the middle of the night Singing these lyrics to me Kind of starts messing with my head [Chorus] And the air was filling my lungs Autumn was filling your lungs We're just trying to be young But little do we know that trying to be young Is what is making us grow old Air was filling my lungs Autumn was filling your lungs We're just trying to stay young But little do we know that trying to stay young Is what is making us grow [Bridge] Listen to the breath of my voice Just close your eyes and just go oh-oh-oh Let's just live life as we are 'Cause we only have limited ti-i-ime [Chorus] The air was filling my lungs Autumn was filling your lungs We're just trying to be young But little do we know that trying to be young Is what is making us grow old [Outro] I just wanna let go Ooh, ooh
The last chorus instead of “we’re just trying to be young” is “we’re just _dying_ to be young” not a big deal, I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to change it :)
The nostalgia and smooth quality of the vocals in this song are so epic! It is the the kind of song that interrupts daily life by nudging you to take a deep breath and be thankful you are alive another day to breath air in your lungs. The line "trying to be young is what is making us grow old" speaks of people trying to hold onto their youth when letting go is the best way to do it. Since I am a christian my belief that the best way to do this is by trusting God.
I always roll my eyes when judges say things like "you're the best thing I've ever heard" and "you're a star!". If I had a dollar for every time one of the judges said something like that... In Grace's case, Howie predicted she'd be Bigger than Taylor Swift and called her a Living Miracle. I thought Grace's audition was incredible, but maybe they were yet again being insincere. But this time they really knew what they were talking about, and they meant every word of praise and prediction they said. And, by gosh, Grace is proving them correct. Cool.
Honestly i never had know about any singer or band realise an perfect album like JTB. All grace songs are perfects and infeccius i mean a just came to discover lungs and i said again ALL SONGS ARE PERFECT! God bless grace vanderwall
"Just The Beginning " is, in my opinion, the best first album ever by any artist in any genre at any time in history. There is not one wrong song, including the two bonus songs on the Target release ("Lungs" and "Hope For Change") and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" on the Japan release. Throwing in her "Perfectly Imperfect" DA, which did come first, makes it just simply incomparable to anything or anyone else's first attempts.
James Smith me? Jesus I just don’t know how to make one well. I write my own songs and have an ukulele channel. Nevermind I’m deleting my comment. I’m not an idiot.
James Smith very very true. She is a goddess not only with words but with vocals and instruments and rhythm. In city song she clicked her retainer case and that’s what you hear in the second verse.
This song, the melody, lyric, that raspy voice n it's cracked beautifully, has been created long long time ago somewhere we never know n Grace bring it to this earth in purpose..
My review of Grace Vanderwaal's "Lungs". An absolutely beautiful and visually stimulating piece of poetry with a soul ripping delivery. How this song was missed by so many is beyond comprehension. 🌹🌹
Grace VanderWaal - What Inspired LUNGS? th-cam.com/video/gcGrZ98070w/w-d-xo.html Grace VanderWaal 'LUNGS' Live for the First Time! th-cam.com/video/nzsj9ZBz4R8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. I also saw them. I just can't understand her manager and label. "Lungs" and "Hope For Change" are both worth hearing. Yet, they were relegated to being bonus tracks for an exclusive retailer release. Then they were forgotten. They aren't even on Grace's official channel.
The one the at Target now does not include "Lungs" or "Hope For Change". The bonus track is now " I Don't Know My Name". They really don't know what a treasure they had.
I feel awkward talking to people about her...because I've tried explaining her to people and they are like yeah she is good.....but it's better than that...and why can't they see it? She just straight gets me to the core and I'm like...I almost feel like a creeper watching her vids over n over....but her so Gs aren't complete for me u less I see her sing them n a live vid....with the exception of the bonus tracks and DKCM ...which I can only assume would be the most tear inducing live performance......Ever...imagine an entire venue crying but happy...lol. I believe if she ever sings this live...it will not be a sing along...the crowd will be too busy sniffling and wiping tears...lol
I know the feeling. Preach! People that actually have a soul are truly touched by Grace’s music. Others I think can’t because their souls are beyond redemption. She is here to heal our broken hearts and minds. My wretched sister in law doesn’t get it. My brother sobbed like a baby. But his stone wife totally shut him down and now he rejects Grace because he is afraid of feeling like a freak. Sad really. It’s his loss. I’ve been listening to music for over 40 years. She is the only artist to make me cry like baby on several occasions. Best artist ever!!!
You are not alone, Grace got my soul since day one and every new songs make me wondering how can she top that believing this song is Perfection but Grace do it all the times!!!!!
KevinA Anderson Have you seen her perform "River" at the MTV Studios. I have seen the one at her concert, but this is in a studio with her band. Just released today. th-cam.com/video/tKG3i4e2bkk/w-d-xo.html
this is a true masterpiece, we should listen more carefully how something divine is brought in this world full of...i"m just grateful for this.i "m livin moments that i have long forgot to wait for... and they are given to me by Grace...The Child. thank you, Child
I like how both this song and Sick of Being Told use the lyric ‘I just wanna let go.’ It makes it feel like her songs are more connected. Keep writing, Grace! Love you! 💗
WAWWWWWW. GRACE, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!! THE AGT GOLDEN BUZZER HAS CHANGED YOUR LIFE INDEED! AND YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES WITH YOUR SONGS!! JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE DOING, SING WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!!
Being compared to Sara Bareilles at this stage in her career is something. Grace appears to have a bit of every one. In the beginning people were trolling her about copying people but that's not the case, they didn't see how versatile she is. She's an enigma, she 's all of them in one. She isn't going to hit the high notes Mariah can but she can do a little Mariah when she wants without knowing it
Team Grace forever😇😇... She is such a precious gift to the music 🎶🎶🎶.. She is original and amazing...I'm so happy that I saw her journey from the starting 😇🎶💕💕✌
I just decided yesterday that Better Life is my favorite after Darkness chasing me now i'm contemplating again because of this..i catched the grace fever
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE IN MY CLASS DON'T LIKE HER!! I got her $70 merch and a $300 ukulele because I love her and people have the heart to say I don't like her!! Oml I'm so TRIGGERED!!!
At work I always bring up the little girl hat can do it all when coworkers complain about doi something. I mean you just showed me and the world that yes , you're the little girl that puts the guys to shame at my work, not physically. You're the little girl that could, No pun intended). It's just something I do to try to get the guys to at least try. Love your music. TY
I can't believe that I just discovered this song NOW. I mean, I thought I know all of her songs...that I even memorized some. But this is the first time I heard "Lungs", and as usual, another masterpiece from my beloved Grace!! Aside from her unique voice, what I also love about her is how she transcends emotions, memories, and life realizations into her lyrics. Sometimes, I tend to forget her age because her music makes me feel like she has lived more than I have. My dilemma is that whenever I hear a new song of her I can't dislike it!! Haha
Ernst Müllner The songwriter credit has Grace Vanderwaal and Greg Wells (producer). It is very typical for the producer to be listed as they often make a contribution. It is very important to give credit to any person who helped with writing the song. Many artist have been sued in the past for not giving credit. Grace's name appears first on all the songs except for 2 songs in which she is the sole songwriter.
Music today is very competitive as everyone is try to get a hit #1 song, because that's is were the money is. Taylor Swift uses multiple songwriters usually up to 5 per song. One of the most famous songwriters for Taylor is Max Martin who lives in Sweden. Alessia Cara usually has three to four songwriters including herself. The problem with having too many songwriters is that you have to split the profits. If Grace continues to write her own songs, she makes all the money even if the producer made a contribution. Producers are prepaid, they don't earn royalties off the song.
ed, Anthony, Greg Wells tweet that he 'tried to stay out the way as much as possible' has already become a winged word in some of the threads and on FB (with screenshots of the tweet) as you may know anyway. The credit situation seems pretty clear since other contributors also stated they only offered help but did not influence the creative process.
A special touch. A well-crafted melody, with a wonderful sound, a very strong instrument and the final finish is this well-placed and super-tuned voice. Talent, intelligence and determination make the big difference, congratulations and "success always" !!!
First God created Bob Dylan Then he created the Beatles Then he created Joni Mitchell Then he created Kurt Cobain Then he created Grace Vanderwaal Then God rested because he could not improve on Grace.
This song of Grace is so underrated :(
Truth is, every one of her songs is underrated. And its now May 2020.
Moon at Noon lmao
I agree from japan.
Filipino fan🇵🇭
The voice travels through my body when she says "the air was filling my lungs"
A 13 years old giving me goosebumps wow!
Way to go Grace (y)
I'm 51, an award winning author and have won (in a choir) the Youth & Music Festival in Austria and the Expo in Vancouver, yet this 13 year old girl gives my life perspective. She is God sent.
Respect
😢
I think she may be the best artist ever. 💗
Oh, she is.
I agree 100%
She is.
YESSSSSS!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
how can I pick a favorite song when they are all great
I know right!
I think mine has settled on 'So Much More Than This'?
I know wright
Same thing lol
Me and her have the same comment
She can not write a bad song even if she wanted to. Grace is simply amazing!
It's practically criminal her management only included this song, Lungs, on the copies sold at Target. It's an important/milestone/defining song that solidifies her arrival at the next level of her craft. It's a masterpiece, and I'm confident many successful song writers and performers would agree.
But they practically doubled there CD sales. Everyone now wants to buy the Target album now. Brilliant!
Bean Pot Wow. That IS brilliant.
Bean Pot, It's brilliant for the people that can buy it. Unfortunately, Target only ships to a few countries.
I'm sure that whatever contract Grace has with Target will expire, and that this song will be available from iTunes.
The sooner the better This, Darkness and Hope for change are a lvl above what most can put out these days and all from a 13 year old the mind boggles
I still cannot believe this....Ive never "fangirled" over anyone in my life....but literally every song since Audition has just been....I dont know...I dont have the words...Im a 40 yr old man and she doesn't even sing the type of music I'd general listen to yet,I find myself watching vid after vid on repeat...every time i hear a new song its my new favorite be it a cover or an original.....and now the new album with bonus tracks...i think every new song is the best til I hear the next one....how do you choose a favorite? I sit back in amazement as i listen....she makes me feel something I can't put words to...I get tears when I listen to her...and I've never n my life done that for any artist,including Adele.so Of someone can shed some light on the Grace tears issue....that'd be great...lol
I don't know, sometimes I question myself "Something wrong with me, or she is really that good" the think is, 99% of time I can't stand kids performing, I have that cringe feeling. It like you witness someting extraordynary, you standing there in disbelieve look other peopol and asking "Do you see what I see ?" I'm teling you it have to be someting in the water LOL damn kids today... LOL

But now I’m enthralled by a13 year hippie chick who can rock a ukulele or a tambourine or even a guitar. Just crazy!!!
The Grace tears issue... Grace is a Muse.
KevinA Anderson so true❤️
KevinA Anderson True
What a start she is having for her music career these songs will be remberred
This sounds like i'm in heaven
I love the aesthetic of this entire album, and this song is absolutely gorgeous.
She is mesmerizing and intoxicating. I can't get enough of this girl! Every song gets better and better. Tell me I'm not crazy!
yeh that Grace you are not crazy she is that good
Welcome to the club!
I've been listening to her nonstop, since I discovered her. Obsessed, stunned.
;-;
You're not crazy.
A truly inspiring sweet and beautiful young genius. The world certainly knows her name and will recognize her awesome talent for years to come. I listen to her music almost every day and I’m 82 years old. What a blessing to have such an amazing performer.
This song really, touches my HEART!
Listening, I am back in the early 70’s...
Echo’s of John Lennon & Paul McCartney while they reached my soul with their music.
Now a 13 year girl is doing the same thing...
Very strange, but her dad does say “she has an old soul.”... I am glad she is just st the beginning of it all. All the best Grace.
This song is so beautiful I would love to hear Grace sing this live.

R u ok?

What happened? Are you alright?
What an absolutely gorgeous piece of music. The first artist that has truly captivated me in 30 years.
If this girl was at Woodstock people would be saying " Janis who? "
This song is so euphoric. Hard to believe how much talent she possesses and how incredibly deep she touches me. It's almost spiritual. Love this artist. Well done Grace!
lyrical, mystical, magical Grace

I 100% AGREE!!!!!!
We can only hope the current generation growing up with Grace will appreciate the diamond she is instead of music like BTS ect
@Randy Wong I mean, that's just your opinion anyways.
I agree I love Grace and she works really hard.i don't know about you guys but she makes me happy
I agree with everything you said. She is amazing!
I've never loved someone as much as I love Grace... grace is my inspiration... she's 13, and I'm 15...
melissa mccloskey your heart has good taste... ;-)
I don't think you could find a better role model. No, wait, I don't think ANYONE could find a better role model. How wonderful that she walks among us.

Lungs*
Grace VanderWaal
Produced by Greg Wells
Album Just the Beginning
1 2
Lungs* Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dancing flames into this glass castle
And underground wax world
Rushing water at the park
Takes you to a different world
[Chorus]
And the air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
The air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to stay young
But little do we know that trying to stay young
Is what is making us grow old
[Post-Chorus]
That's what
That's what is making us grow old
[Verse 2]
A patter of rain pattering on my window
Makes me smile and feel refreshed
But then I'm walking down the street
In the middle of the night
Singing these lyrics to me
Kind of starts messing with my head
[Chorus]
And the air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
Air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to stay young
But little do we know that trying to stay young
Is what is making us grow
[Bridge]
Listen to the breath of my voice
Just close your eyes and just go oh-oh-oh
Let's just live life as we are
'Cause we only have limited ti-i-ime
[Chorus]
The air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
[Outro]
I just wanna let go
Ooh, ooh
The last chorus instead of “we’re just trying to be young” is “we’re just _dying_ to be young” not a big deal, I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to change it :)
"A patter of rain pattering on my window" is "A PUDDLE of rain PUDDLING on my window"
WOW...no words to describe this amazing song.
I replay all of her songs so many times I think I am going to need a new replay butten
The nostalgia and smooth quality of the vocals in this song are so epic! It is the the kind of song that interrupts daily life by nudging you to take a deep breath and be thankful you are alive another day to breath air in your lungs. The line "trying to be young is what is making us grow old" speaks of people trying to hold onto their youth when letting go is the best way to do it. Since I am a christian my belief that the best way to do this is by trusting God.
This is my favourite of all of her songs
Me too! After 5 years!
Well, it's official. This girl's a miracle. Then again, isn't that what Howie Mandel told us, way back then, on AGT?
Nestor123057 Simon said, "This girl is special" and low and behold!!!
I mean she said 'Miracles can happen *giggle*' so yeah
I always roll my eyes when judges say things like "you're the best thing I've ever heard" and "you're a star!". If I had a dollar for every time one of the judges said something like that...
In Grace's case, Howie predicted she'd be Bigger than Taylor Swift and called her a Living Miracle. I thought Grace's audition was incredible, but maybe they were yet again being insincere. But this time they really knew what they were talking about, and they meant every word of praise and prediction they said. And, by gosh, Grace is proving them correct. Cool.
Grace was different the moment she walked on stage even before she started singing... something about her ..... seemed different. You just know
jeez i remeber when she auditioned
Perhaps Grace's best... AND most under viewed! Thank you Steph!!
I can't express it .... Grace is I think maybe The Greatest of All Time. No hyperbole. The Greatest of All Time.
Honestly i never had know about any singer or band realise an perfect album like JTB. All grace songs are perfects and infeccius i mean a just came to discover lungs and i said again ALL SONGS ARE PERFECT! God bless grace vanderwall

UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE songwriting......GENIUS in every aspect
Just wow. What a great melody.
I am gonna ask her HOW THE HECK YOU MAKE A BRIDGE CUZ HONESTLY HOW?!
James Smith me? Jesus I just don’t know how to make one well. I write my own songs and have an ukulele channel. Nevermind I’m deleting my comment. I’m not an idiot.
James Smith very very true. She is a goddess not only with words but with vocals and instruments and rhythm. In city song she clicked her retainer case and that’s what you hear in the second verse.
God, her voice in this song is so magical. My favorite forever
This song, the melody, lyric, that raspy voice n it's cracked beautifully, has been created long long time ago somewhere we never know n Grace bring it to this earth in purpose..
Lungs and Stray are the two best songs she’s written so far, they hit so close to home.

She is here to heal our broken hearts and minds. My wretched sister in law doesn’t get it. My brother sobbed like a baby. But his stone wife totally shut him down and now he rejects Grace because he is afraid of feeling like a freak. Sad really. It’s his loss. I’ve been listening to music for over 40 years. She is the only artist to make me cry like baby on several occasions. Best artist ever!!!
You are not alone, Grace got my soul since day one and every new songs make me wondering how can she top that believing this song is Perfection but Grace do it all the times!!!!!
KevinA Anderson Grace took my heart and tears......and don't want it back. 😢😢
KevinA Anderson Have you seen her perform "River" at the MTV Studios. I have seen the one at her concert, but this is in a studio with her band. Just released today. th-cam.com/video/tKG3i4e2bkk/w-d-xo.html
She speaks to some hearts and others, sadly don't get it.
I love this so much. She gives me chills. Incredible talent. I love her!
this is a true masterpiece, we should listen more carefully how something divine is brought in this world full of...i"m just grateful for this.i "m livin moments that i have long forgot to wait for... and they are given to me by Grace...The Child. thank you, Child
I like how both this song and Sick of Being Told use the lyric ‘I just wanna let go.’ It makes it feel like her songs are more connected. Keep writing, Grace! Love you! 💗
Blessed my ears with this little angel... her music feels like fresh living waters going through my system over and over again. Thank You God
WAWWWWWW. GRACE, YOU ARE FANTASTIC!! THE AGT GOLDEN BUZZER HAS CHANGED YOUR LIFE INDEED! AND YOU ARE CHANGING LIVES WITH YOUR SONGS!! JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE DOING, SING WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!!
. . . every once in a while the heavens gift the world with an entity that shows us a better way!
The lyrics and beautiful flowing voice, what a GEM!!!
It's so amazing wow
I think this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
Check out her other bonus track Hope For a Change
Still can not believe I have met this angel ❤️😌.
California Callie cAnt believe I know her😂
Grace is amazing in every way. Her music hits me right in the feels. I haven't felt like this about a musician since Sara Bareilles.
Being compared to Sara Bareilles at this stage in her career is something. Grace appears to have a bit of every one. In the beginning people were trolling her about copying people but that's not the case, they didn't see how versatile she is. She's an enigma, she 's all of them in one. She isn't going to hit the high notes Mariah can but she can do a little Mariah when she wants without knowing it
Team Grace forever😇😇... She is such a precious gift to the music 🎶🎶🎶.. She is original and amazing...I'm so happy that I saw her journey from the starting 😇🎶💕💕✌
I still can't get over how powerful this is
I just decided yesterday that Better Life is my favorite after Darkness chasing me now i'm contemplating again because of this..i catched the grace fever
For me it changes day to day its now Lungs tomorrow who knows
@@gregcadman6102 I like both the bonus tracks but I favor Hope For a Change i think
My favorite Grace songs have changed many times since 2017. Now it’s Insane Sometimes followed by Florets followed by Lungs followed by etc…
GO GIRL! I'LL SUPPORT YOU, FANDERWAALS ARE REALLLLL!
yeppers were behind every thing Our Ms .Grace does :) and we travel in packs LOL The Texas Gent
In a word, sublime.
Come on guys lets give this video at least 1000 thumbs up 👍🏼❤️❤️ we can do it and grace deserves it
..this brings me to another world😊
Perfectly Lovely. ..
she is like an angel
i LISTEN TO THIS EVERY MORNING :D
My favorite Grace song, incredible!!!!!!
Fun, beautiful and simple. Thanks for bringing such wonderment to the world. I don’t know, just thanks.
I can't explain how amazing you are just I can't even
This is my favourite song to come out in 2017
This song has to go tops!! What is happening? It speaks to all!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE IN MY CLASS DON'T LIKE HER!! I got her $70 merch and a $300 ukulele because I love her and people have the heart to say I don't like her!! Oml I'm so TRIGGERED!!!
Kids are jealous they have no idea how good or special she is, we older people do seen many artist's in my life she is one of the best period
YES THEY WILL ONE DAY. AND WILL BE ASHAMED THEN.
WWGD(what would Grace do)? She won't please everyone--none of us can, but she stays true to herself, and so should you.
Omg my life is COMPLETE. Thank you.
That’s it I’m buying CD.
squeezer24 I said the same thing when I heard these songs, and I pre order on iTunes
squeezer24 Copies sold at Target have this bonus track, not sure download does.
Imagine looking at the amber filled sky by the bay as you listen to this song. ❤❤
At work I always bring up the little girl hat can do it all when coworkers complain about doi something. I mean you just showed me and the world that yes , you're the little girl that puts the guys to shame at my work, not physically. You're the little girl that could, No pun intended). It's just something I do to try to get the guys to at least try. Love your music. TY
I freaggin loooooive this song!!
I can't believe that I just discovered this song NOW.
I mean, I thought I know all of her songs...that I even memorized some. But this is the first time I heard "Lungs", and as usual, another masterpiece from my beloved Grace!! Aside from her unique voice, what I also love about her is how she transcends emotions, memories, and life realizations into her lyrics. Sometimes, I tend to forget her age because her music makes me feel like she has lived more than I have.
My dilemma is that whenever I hear a new song of her I can't dislike it!! Haha

@@chmtopforever2177 Thank you! Appreciated (^-^,)
This girl can't write a bad song😊
The sound of your voice in beautiful melodies is a true trip to the colorful world of rhythm, congratulations and "success always" !!!
Wow I love this song
Here I was just a little bored today and in 2 minutes I have chills running up and down my entire body. Again. You think I would know better by now.
She made me cry again today
@@allhitstaken6200 Yup. 11 months later, I am trying one more time to get through this without collapsing into a pile of jello. Failed once again....
Amazing Grace
💖yup.
We have a prodigy !! ♡♡♡♡♡
ed, as if we had not known before ;)) Seriously, being in the 'autumn' category makes me ponder the lyrics quite a lot
Ernst Müllner The songwriter credit has Grace Vanderwaal and Greg Wells (producer). It is very typical for the producer to be listed as they often make a contribution. It is very important to give credit to any person who helped with writing the song. Many artist have been sued in the past for not giving credit. Grace's name appears first on all the songs except for 2 songs in which she is the sole songwriter.
Music today is very competitive as everyone is try to get a hit #1 song, because that's is were the money is. Taylor Swift uses multiple songwriters usually up to 5 per song. One of the most famous songwriters for Taylor is Max Martin who lives in Sweden. Alessia Cara usually has three to four songwriters including herself. The problem with having too many songwriters is that you have to split the profits. If Grace continues to write her own songs, she makes all the money even if the producer made a contribution. Producers are prepaid, they don't earn royalties off the song.
ed, Anthony, Greg Wells tweet that he 'tried to stay out the way as much as possible' has already become a winged word in some of the threads and on FB (with screenshots of the tweet) as you may know anyway. The credit situation seems pretty clear since other contributors also stated they only offered help but did not influence the creative process.
This song is a mini- masterpiece!
this song is a big masterpiece
A special touch.
A well-crafted melody, with a wonderful sound, a very strong instrument and the final finish is this well-placed and super-tuned voice. Talent, intelligence and determination make the big difference, congratulations and "success always" !!!
This is so perfect I'm totally speechless wow
so touching. you've made it so far grace. luv u
I wish she could release this on Apple Music ughhh my heart 😭
HEAVEN
Her voice is so smooth and yet it can go crazy high at the same time
Love this 👏👏
Thanx for sharing this track Steph Elle. It was very worth it.
Grace Vanderwaal and Sawyer Fredericks have the same soulful vibe to me: they're young, but they're old souls that know how to write meaningful music.
They would make an interesting duet. Did Sawyer go back to the family farm. I wouldn't blame him if he did.
No, he's actually still touring, I think! His album "Hide Your Ghost" is going to be fully released soon, and I'm super hyped :D
What a great kid with a a fab voice
I think she is a gift that god give us
love it so much love you grace 💗😍
WHY AM I CRYING
I wish this was on the album
Its 0005 and í get drunk lissemt grace vanderwall amazimg music, in 46 and love this girl as she was my daugther
First God created Bob Dylan
Then he created the Beatles
Then he created Joni Mitchell
Then he created Kurt Cobain
Then he created Grace Vanderwaal
Then God rested because he could not improve on Grace.
LOVE U GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!
Haunting
