The Grants

[The First Who Ever Did 174]

I know it’s another piano ballad, but it still sounds fresh to me. Like Ocean Blvd., the production is fairly minimal, but it’s also undeniably deliberate, with the fat trimmed. The song takes you by the hand as it builds from the unexpected vocal intro to the soaring finale. It’s subtle and refined and gorgeous.

I've lost my grandma and my father in the last two years so this is hitting harder than it should  Like this song is so pure and beautiful and important to me

I hope this post doesn’t come off too hokey but I’ve been trying to put my finger on what makes The Grants so great to me. It’s taken me a few weeks of listening to it before today to figure it out. 

 

I had a lot of loss last year, death of a loved one, death of a pet, and the end of a really great relationship, all within 3 months. I really got deep into music in the months that followed, Lana, Taylor, and a few others. I found lots of songs that I could identify with, sing along to, shouting to the lyrics saying how I was feeling. While this was cathartic, I was often left with a feeling afterwards of “well what now?”
 

The Grants has all these same qualities for me, but in some way it gives me the answer to the “what now?” question. I take those memories of all that I have lost, along with me for the rest of my life, and move forward. 
 

Maybe the song just came out at the right time in my life, where I am ready to take the next step, but the lyrics tell me exactly what I needed to hear. 
 

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Okay I’m confused,

is it mine or mind? Obviously makes sense it’s mine and that she’s saying mine, but the intro throws me off Cuz it sounds back and forth lol

Take mind of you with me, is kind of a saying meaning taking your memory with me.

It’s definitely mind.

It’s exactly the other way around. Mind is the error. 
I wanna take mine [as in my memories of my family/loved ones] of you with me

[rabbit 5,269]

It took me two listens to get into the intro, but I like it. I think I'd prefer The Grants without it, but it's existence doesn't take away from the song imo.

 

The piano in the beginning is so stunning, as is the instrumentation throughout the song. And I love how clear her voice is. This one pierced right through to the heart for me, her tone when singing about doing it for the family line, and the verses about Phoenix and her grandmother...just wow 

 

It's a beautiful life
Remember that, too, for me 

[Ramada Hydrangea 433]

This song is just so stunning and really gets better with each listen. Not gonna lie it had me tearing up when she sings about her grandma 

[PARADIXO 32,940]

is this for her mother?

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

Genuinely confused by the mixed reactions on here.  

 

Some opinions I've been reading feel very dramatic. Maybe it just needs some time to grow on y'all? Idk. She's 3-3 for me, easily.

Listening to this song feels like getting a big warm hug, it sounds so comforting
