Alive ? More like depressing but that's why I love it haha

Do you still come to this song?

@@bridgestudentkyle9419 yup every so often!

Dark candi qween ikrrr

Dark candi qween It's amazing, like damn... It's Soo good!!

Haha me too , she is also my age and she is perfect 👌

There are mature thirteen years old like Grace who are talented like her. Although everyone is talented in their own way, you just have to find your talent. (: (Mine is Art!)

E. Ariel, Why don't you put some of your art on your page I would love to see it. I'm a big art fan.

agreed

i was exactly at 3:51 when I read your comment hhahhahaha

Noelani Yokota ya that got to me too, because I had a panic attack at 12. It was so bad I screamed and blanked out. All I remember is that I couldn’t stop screaming

yes. everything you said

Sia Haze THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE AN ANGEL

Thank you...

Thanks for your sharing

Sia Haze thank you

Thx

They need to make a music video and release this song to radio so that it can qualify as Song of The Year, or at least Best Vocal Performance. This is easily Grammy worthy stuff...Same thing goes for "A Better Life".

Mark LaLonde I would have to add Lungs to that list also. Man what a beautiful song.

Jim Hess, yep, and Hope For Change too. I love both of the bonus tracks so much; they're incredible songs.

Love lungs, amazing song. But this one......it just......no words.💓

Try the MTV Rooftop live session, it's even better.

Jordon Winn yes so deep....

Literally heart wrenching. Ian, have you listened to it while reading the lyrics? Here, try it... Opening my eyes Seems like it gets harder sometimes Look at the skylight Would you be mad at me if I tried running away to it in the night? I tried to fight But I'm not strong enough I just want you here But I also want to be alone I don't know what I want anymore Every now and then The darkness tries to chase me And my legs are getting tired of running Oh, please don't Please don't let it get to me Oh, I don't want to give up that easily But the darkness keeps chasing me Hiding places remind me of you and I I wanna call you But if I hear your voice I just might cry And I don't even know what the song's about, anymore And I don't know what I want, anymore Every now and then The darkness tries to chase me And my legs are getting tired of running Oh, please don't Please don't let it get to me Oh, I don't want to give up that easily But the darkness keeps chasing Rivers stream down my cheeks Look to my eyes See you're blowing smoke in your ripped jeans Don't tell me you fell in The darkness is already seeping through Oh, can't you see? I will be different I'm not sure if I can do it all alone God, I want to be different But I'm not sure if I can do it on my own 'Cause every now and then The darkness tries to chase me And my legs are getting tired of running Oh, please don't Please don't let it get to me Oh, I don't want to give up that easily But the darkness keeps chasing me

Thanks Mark, Listening to this with these words is like taking a journey inside yourself... running away through the skylight, darkness chasing..

Hope to see this become a billion plus views and her other originals before I become Stardust again....

the number 200 million is pretty specific, why?

Why it’s a high number XD

59 here. Same thing!

65 here.

Thanks! I feel like a young fan crazy teeny bopper now :))

Well, as a sprightly 57yo I'm so glad that you 'oldies' love this song too 😂

Gosh, am I the youngest here? ... 38 :D

Amen!

Yes! And she is my number one favorite singer

We got it, stop spamming this. It's rly annoying.

Let's just not compare this artist to that talentless heck.

@@virtualwarp And yet if she is so talentless than how come Taylor Swift won more awards than most famous men and women in history? The only way that could happen is the whole country and other countries of the world obviously who think she is talented. Grace is too but doesn't mean you need to discredit either of them when your words aren't even real facts.

that is Grace

You can feel the scars of pain sculpted on the notes she sings. There's a texture to her sound. So earnest. So real

Can you imagine Grace singing this song 15 years from now? 30 years? 50 years? The depth and textures changing with her life and experience. Not sure why I'm even thinking about it, but this kind of travel feels built into the song. So interesting to have this be the closer of "Just the Beginning." It's a giant song.

DynamiteToadie that was soooo well said! it is really a very moving song. i just cant get it out of my head...

Dyno, just imagine, the way she expresses emotion, at 19 she meets the man she loves and starts tossing those emotions into her songs. I think Beautiful Thing might be childs play compared to what may come, if the guy ever breaks her heart Taylor may look like an amateur

Dyanamite and Cal, well said. I kinda feel sorry for the boy she will eventually choose to date because the poor guy will constantly be terrified of the break-up song to come. Only half-joking.

I have a friend that a big fan of Blue October. This song almost feels like she sat with Justin during some of his darker times and borrowed a page out of his playbook. Hauntingly beautiful.

She is able to make her voice resonate with love this creates a loving energy pattern in your mind --opening your mind top the flow of love and light in the universe . In this song she is making her voice resonate with longing .Longing is a very important emotion because it purifies our mind so it can be filled with the nectar of love. So far all her songs are intensely positive and emotional which sweeps away negative emotions and allows us to perform at our personal best (i keep them on my MP3 for work )

Grace's music helps me too ... get through rough days. I feel a kindred spirit ... validated..

These sentiments keep getting expressed over and over again for a reason, they're true. There was a time before Grace introduced herself to the world when I was days away from giving up. I still struggle at times, but not as much or as desperately as before, and I thank Grace for that. She came into my life, without her ever being aware of it, and saved me, not only with her profound music, but by her example. If this child could conquer her fears and stress to embark on an artistic and business adventure that crushes many adults and stay positive and caring and giving, the I have no excuse as an adult not to tackle my own challenges. Grace is inspirational on so many levels. She has most likely saved hundreds of people like myself across the planet without ever being aware of it.

I like to play Better life after this one, it's so soothing

Mark Lalonde... i so agree wid u.

Jasmin Levi

same here

I wish the best for you❤

She is truly amazing, :)

Bridge Over Trouble Waters and Levon, this song is as good as Elton John and Simon and Garfunkle

Think the darkness can relate to fear - anxiety - depression - addictions - things you don't wont in your life but they keep haunting you. They are constantly lurking in the background. Luckily Jesus can give you the strength to overcome all of them - might not be immediate but it will happen.

Do believe it was Robert Johnson who sold his soul to the devil at the Crossroads for fame as the greatest guitar player. He never stayed in one place for very long because he thought the devil was chasing him. Some think it's her doubts of a career as a singer after she found herself in a recording studio surrounded by bunch of strange faces and her sister back home in school. Someone pointed out Blowing smoke in you ripped jeans is a reference to Miley Cyrus

Grace said that this song came naturally while she was writing and that wasn’t any reason behind the song

cool, never seen that video

Me either

Don’t think I’ll ever be

It changed my life!!

I found my self keep coming to MTV rooftoop version of Darkness Keep Chasing Me. And still crying everytime

2020 and im not over this song

Not enough people are discovering her like you, but one day we will wake up to Grace being on top of the world

She's a Muse.

김동식 our condolence to you & you love ones.... i too was touched by Grace and this song .. { after my son passed 18th of age.. So yes Grace & her song do have a healing effect ..

That part makes me cry

Or you can't see well cause the tears are flowing

Laura Amante - yes, never have I heard a song that compelled me to stop driving multiple times, as I just had to explore every conflicted emotion it made me feel during and after listening. Sadness, tears, helplessness, fear of regression, remembering loved ones lost. But then our resolve and strength to cope, to fight, reinforced by the tragic but uplifting beauty of this song. itself.

I completely agree with you. I was a little worried that the new album would not be as good as her EP. I am so glad to see I was worried over nothing!

MoreSherylCrow Same!

I love these comments! Especially considering the names!

Yeah.....well......you're a "Swiftie 4life" so.......

John Chavis This is super late but, so what?

agreed

and it still got ya, lol? Oh, that is so relatable. I was driving all alone the first time I heard it... That was dangerous, the song should come with a warning. ⚠😭⚠

Or maybe some people feel they just HAVE to be different.

The darkness chased them and won. To the dark side they went, sad.

Covers "River" "One and Only" "A Team", Originals "Better Life" "Hope for Chance" "Lungs" "Beautiful Thing" ... just for start

Thank you!

Thanks:-)

Thanks

Agree. It will be a standard. Covered by singers generations from now.

Just_A_Guy67 you nailed it, just said in an another forum, this album and particularly this song will make history.

Jean Ludovicy Just the beginning but what a start, right? CU in the club Jean. Johann Ricke.

Im 51 and this song brings to me every feeling i have ever felt in my life, and a feeling of peace for my remaining life ahead.

I'm 64 years old and I was a DeadHead ... Now I am a GraceHead ... The best vocal sound I have ever heard.

You’re not alone, I’m times two your age. 😊

Me too, my heart just started to beat too fast with all the vibe of this music. I could Fell the music in my skin. This is fascinating.

Ahh me too this song is indescribable

It's easy to forget how she sing...what a talent? still I can't understand until now.

think you read that wrong, i think that's 659 K

Spirit Soda I AGREE

That word sounds weird. More like she is just amazing

Spirit Soda exactly.

Spirit Soda so true

Jill Stephenson lol

I dont know how she does it just an incredible singer song writer this song gets to me every time

This question has been asked 1000s of times since time began over unusually gifted people

add this to "Beautiful Thing." something special happening here.

Denise D. -Many people have no idea, what some 13-year-olds in this day and age have gone through, speaking from experience.

Not a bad writer too, eh?

G S Windex version for extra oomph but you'll need a handkerchief

I don't understand how a 13-year old can even write a song like that, let along sing it with such emotional power,

same with me.. keep on coming back daily

Well, this isnt a word, but I believe youre looking for " Grace Vanderwall "

Lungs is amazing too! She is amazing!

IMHO the two pillars in Graces catalogue are this song and Moonlight. So very different I can't choose one over the other.

and i my legs are getting tired of ruunnning

many of us are

The comments are filled with tears from the most beautiful soulache ever.

Same

Ernst Müllner soulache... I like it 😉

Her only live performance of DKCM to date kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZholtuUp7WVZ4U.html

Yo Brother, hang in there and be strong. Things happen for a reason and may better things come to you in the future!

I'm so glad you were able to heal from that.

Bertha.....Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us!

Ross Winslow No problem I just really like that she proves that music is more than about being famous that it’s about having fans because she is able to help them through whatever there going through. I love listening to and relating to her music. And knowing that she empathizes with those feelings and understands what those thoughts may feel like then be able to turn it into something that helps others is what makes her a true artist. Imagine what she will do when she personally experiences what she writes about it’s going to be legendary! Lol at least that’s the way I think.

I know I'm late here, but she literally bring me to tears no matter what she sings, and I don't cry over music easily, but this girl, OMG, her voice, emotional Spears left and right. She is so amazing and I'm not religious, but she can only be explained by a higher power. There's no one person that could handle this much talent so well. But Grace does, and she has as early as the day she was born. She is a musical miracle, and she beats even the greatest of all time in my book, and she is the only artist to ever make me break down into tears just because she is so good, not because her music reminds me of lost love, or anything like that, it's just because she is so amazing and her voice tears my heart to pieces Everytime she opens her mouth, she is just that amazing to me. She is someone who will forever change the face of music, and she has already forever changed my life.

Damn, I broke down into tears just writing that, that is the effect she had on me, and I don't know how to explain it, she is so incredible.

pauldhoff shes becoming the soundtrack to a lot of people's daily life

The movie / video could be sponsored by Kleenex for sure. I used up my whole stock with the music alone.

No, please, no. Why muck this personal communication between Grace and the listener with some movie director's notions in some movie plot. Just listen to the song and be grateful.

Sooooooo, you never in any movie, just hear music being played that fits the mood of the scene. Please do not watch Guardians of the Galaxy, you'll just hate it.

A worthy movie... Oscar material

This song is perfection , depression expressed .I spoke out a while back about how this related to me and got social media feedback telling me to kill myself.

And she wrote it as well

The song is her.

Bean Pot Doesn't the mee, ee ee ee, remind you of Simon and Garfunkel? So beautiful.

The comments are filled with tears from the most beautiful soulache ever.

good words

Yes, exactly! Emotional Surgery.

She is the best!!! Queen G!!!

agreed

Ronnie Hidalgo it is a masterpiece for sure

The bulk of the facebook fan club said the same thing

Lol, I was driving the first time I heard this song. Should have been given a warning. Gleeking is a real thing and makes it impossible to see. Crying while driving is hazardous. 😀

This song saved my soul!
