Apparently, his work is not for everyone (friends ask me to turn him off), but he strikes a deep chord for me and I love the counterpoint between self-effacement and proud outrage.

"I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye" - these are words you don't hear in a song very often.

This man is a f**king genius! You feel like the smartest person on the planet when you discover John Grant.

Haven't found anything more beautiful in this lifetime than pathos in art. John Grant is an artist who moves me to tears.

Why is this guy not enormously popular? What an amazing talent.

Ten years on and still it hasn't reached a million views. I'm baffled and a little sad.

"It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true" This is full of acceptance, hopelessness, sadness... I love you John Grant, long live!

Genius songwriting, this song is amazing to crank up loud when driving on your own and sing along to the chorus - such power and emotion….

He is definitely unique. This song specifically depicts his intelligence and sensitivity. When I listened to it for the first time, I felt deeply moved. An amazing pianist too.

So sad I cannot find friends who like the music I like...

Queen of Denmark is a masterpiece of an album! I LOVE this album

Lyrics're great, but, it's not the main reason I simply can't stop crying. It's, because of his Voice and purpose! I realized I wasted my precious time called "creative life", just because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. No remorse, long live the John! T h a n k Y o u

i cannot stop coming back to this song. this version is particularly wonderful on a grand piano. and the way his voice just cracks a bit with emotion at the end rounds off brilliantly an extraordinarily moving piece of work.

People who like excellent music, get john! Any deviation from this is a closed mind thing.

So f__king great. John holds this song in his hands like clay and though it's subjectively "sad" you hear playfulness within its delivery. Such an artist and uplifting presence.

#geek....that F minor....and the A minor....oh my goodness. Such a beautiful song, such a perfect chord progression.

Me my broken heart this song in the shower were tears mix with water, and my pain never washes away it remains

It is one of the greatest songs yet written. 'You have to play your part my dear, I've written it all down for you' is one of the saddest lines I've ever heard. John knows it will never work, but the other guy doesn't. Plus it's the most beautiful song I can sing in one key and I have a rubbish voice. It is a work of genius.

I got chills all over my body. Damn it, John. Marry me

voice, music, words. It's all perfect.

Where is the love button .....

♥️ This is heartbreakingly beautiful ♥️ Thank you John 🙏🏼

just stumbled across john today thanks to yt suggestions.... breathtaking.

John is a pure genius 👌❤🖤 I'm so happy I finally decided to delve into his deeply captivating music during this shitty pandemic, after knowing about him for years... He's so easy to fall in love with, isn't he?! 😍 Much love to all

This is my favourite song for singing to in the car. Thanks John, for having the same register as me. And for being a genius.

how I love this man and this song.

So glad AF introduced me to this man!!!

Simply one of the finest artists of my lifetime.

Seriously in love with this man! Wow! So pleased I've discovered him! Thank you Guy xx

This is the most depressingly uplifting song of all time.

Absolutely fantastic! but haunting. I love this guy! Big hug and kiss to you Mr. Grant

Goosebumps!

Astonishing.

Saw and heard and loved his concert @Södra Teatern in Stockholm yesterday. His talent is amazing. This mans voice is so secure, crisp and emotional.

If they don’t like you furkem !!!!!!! carry on brother. I wish we could sing together...you are amazing

By far the best version of this song.

Don't we just love this fabulous guy

In tears....beautiful.

I am absolutely floored by this guy's talent and candor.

Oh my life.....!!! What a talent. Sadly I've only just discovered this wonderful artist, not all bad though as he's playing at this years Glastonbury and I have a BIG FAT TICKET. John Grant, I'm all ears ;-)

Just brilliant, can't stop listening

this song stops me in my tracks every single time I listen to it. amazing.

I love john grant. his music is mesmerizing!

Totally in love with this song, can't stop listening to it!

What a warm voice! Goosebumbs all over the place....

What a great voice and he can put it over live too. Lucky enough to see him twice in 2010, excellent both times. A mix of Glen Campbell / Karen Carpenter incredible.

I love your music.. Thank you. Come to Portugal, please!

I checked this bloke out because of his Elbow duet. And by fuck am I glad. Tremendous.

Only just discovered John Grant because of Glastonbury 2014. Love him now!

killer tune. great performance. desperate lyric. new classic.

Ja, OK, John,ich kenne deine Musik erst seit gut einem halben Jahr... Wie konnte ich so viele Jahre ohne sie leben? Deine ganz persönliche "Geschichte" ist ebenso berührend wie deine wunderbaren Songs, in denen du diese "verarbeitest". John, ich freue mich wie Bolle, dass ich dich am 30. Oktober in London live sehen werde! Ich bin so ein großer Fan von dir, dass ich aus dem tiefsten Schwarzwald nach London fliege, um dich zu sehen. Never stop making music, John! Your voice thrills me!

Masterful

Pure perfection.

No dislikes,i see.Everyone in agreement.Brilliant.

Modern masterpiece.

Great work Mr. Grant, love it, musis like this I live for it.

How don't fall in love with this man ? Seriously.

his voice touches my soul...

Watched it many times; took me a while to catch all the diction, and this song by John Grant had a profound effect on me, and "cross my heart to die"

Love it

Goosebumps..!!

Oh my God .... It's fantastic, wonderfulllllllll.... I love him!!!

wow ...john you are amazing!!!

Your beauty is unstoppable; your confidence unspeakable. I know you know I know you know that I know that you know. I'm willing to do anything to get attention from you, dear, Even though I don't have anything that I could bargain with. This is like a well-oiled machine. Could I please see that smile again? It's all that makes me feel that I am living in this world I see you closing all the doors. I see the walls as they go up I know it's what you have to do. I'd probably do the same thing, too, my dear. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! You have to play your part, my dear. I've written it all down for you. It doesn't matter if the things you say to me aren't true. Just do it then I'll let you go. Just say the words and say them slowly. I promise I'll tell no one. Yes, I cross my heart and hope to die Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I regret the day your lovely carcass caught my eye. Baby, you're where dreams go to die. I've got to get away. I don't want to, but I have to try. Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby! Oh, baby, please!

His voice filled my heart, this is beautiful

This is such a beautiful song. So haunting. I've been listening to the rest of his album, Queen Of Denmark on Spotify, and there are a few other tracks on it that really stood out. A terrific new find. Yes, it reminds me a little bit of Rufus Wainwright whose music I love as well.

Fantastic voice, musical poise and talent- brilliant

My heart is melting......

beautiful

Breathtaking. Literally.

From one of my favourite albums of the last few years.....

... just perfect... piano & voice... sends shivers the same way Rufus does... ... and yes, the album "Queen Of Denmark" is another crown in my collection ever since it came out last year... Cheers***

saw him supporting Midlake at the O2 academy in Liverpool.... don't think the venue or keyboard did him justice . He is such a big bear of a man he needs a really good stage :)

Astonishing! Buy his music now this man must continue making music he is a genius.

Stunning. Such a beautiful performance!

What is this?! Omg....this man is from out of this world! How did I came across with him only now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I regret the day your lovely carcus caught my eye.... I wish I had of thought of that line as a parting goodbye; yes you know who you are!

Brings tears to my eyes - in a good way!

Thanks for posting this....Amazing Artist

absolutely amazing beautiful song!

Beautiful...love his voice...

I love it , you is Genius.
