Dax have you ever heard of Osvaldo GoliJov? He and Grace VanderWaal wrote the music for Francis Ford Coppola's movie Megalopolis.

The Vandervault song catalogue names it "Made Of You", with the video of her performance on 23rd October 2023. Interesting fact about Emily Dickinson is she was born on 10 December 1830, just 5 days after her main rival for greatest poetess ever, Christina Rossetti.

Moly Holy! After looping this song, wow! This is really, REALLY good! This one's a keeper daX.

She is so beautiful to gaze upon, so beautiful to read, so beautiful to listen to-Only Grace can make me shed a tear with one note!

Grace can play the piano.

To me the 1st 2 stanzas you mentioned appear to be her looking back growing up with her family. They are cherished memories she keeps close to her heart and as a celeb she doesn't speak of them. "It's the only good I can seem to see" life hasn't been too great for Grace since her fame. "You don't know I'm made of you" she is the product of them raising her. Being the youngest you could say Grace's serious side is what she gained from Dave and Olivia and her arty creative side she got and was encouraged on by Tina. Grace loved her family atmosphere and thrived in it and they certainly got her right away. A young Grace saying what she thought and felt with such humour, wit and her singing captured Olivia and Tina attention early. Grace makes a few mentions how she is received by people she feels relaxed around enough to open up and be herself the way she was around her family "I'm too loud and say the wrong things" is one of them. I think I've seen so many hints in Grace's lyrics to see her personality wears people out. Then some time ago there are statements like Clair's where she say you don't know the story of what she went through or something like that. Olivia's latest rant on people wishing they were Grace's friend and how bluntly rude supposed friends were right to Grace's face. The 3rd stanza "Everyone everywhere just seems to be." We have to remember Grace ain't hangin with other celebs she is with ordinary people who party and do ordinary things. Some were students and some were club singers. Some might compare this to Poe hangin with amateur detective novelists. They're all in her pictures for a while then suddenly they're not. "At a different [eyeline] apart from me. But I remember how you use to see." To me it appears she purposely put this out of order. "Every one everywhere..." "But I remember how you use to see..." "At a different [eyelevel]..." To me it reads like "I hung out with ordinary people and I know I'm different from them but I remember they looked down their nose at me." If Grace is intent in being a club singer for the rest of her career then these indeed are the friends you get. I don't think Van Gogh hung out with butchers and tailors. I wonder if Corey Feldman now says "I was an actor." If you think that is controversial try this. What if Grace's career never got going right away after "Just The Beginning" and she stayed in New York because she had to run out of a few rooms because an Exec (the big man told me) wanted her to sit on his lap before he would move forward with her career. Almost 2 years exactly between Just The Beginning and Letters and no album or EP since.

The only way I see Grace getting the recognition she deserves, is the day she goes on her own. But it would not be the first a genius does not get recognition, but one day someone will see what a special person she was, she is, she will be. Thanks for your views Dax.

The piano part 7:04 is from the song "I want you to Love me" by Fiona Apple. Another great artist 😅

Need a collection of her writing

I Love her. Why isn't she getting the recognition she deserves???

dax brilliant song .But where is she is she going to make another album. It seems the people she with aren't backing her up.she bring out all these song and nothing happening

'Ive got a secret to keep'. I might also add that the lyrics on 'I've got a secret to keep' are very, very clever... You've become my secret to keep a blanket I carry everywhere with me it's woven from my selective memory it's only the good I can seem to see you don't know how I'm made of you sewn in my skin I'll bear it through and I do everyone everywhere just seems to be a different eye line apart from me oh, oh i remember how you (all) used to be This is just my own personal interpretation of this song daX...She could be singing it about a friend, but with her predilection for double entendre, to ME, makes it seem that she might just be singing this to us hardcore fans. So not only is it very cleverly written, It becomes a heartbreaking self deprecating very intimate and personal statement of a very transcendent paen of oneness with us fans...Incredible! You got the sublime cryptic thing right daX! In spades. You've really parsed out the VERY clever multi-faceted way this song could be interpreted. Her lyrics simply shine here huh? Her innovative introspective writing here is indeed beyond credibility...Oh, and that vulnerability and emotional connection added to the melody and entendred cryptic lyrics makes her damn near incomparable and most def' right on up there with 'The Greats' of all time. I'm sure that Emily Dickensen is looking down with a great big smile on her face...Grace is a National Treasure..Cheers mate.

Thanks for your great explanation.
