Stray

*Stray* is the first single off of Grace VanderWaal’s EP, *LETTERS: Vol. 1*.

## The making of *Stray*

Grace told *Bustle*, *Stray* is about "finding your way through that unsure ground as you grow up, and allowing your personality to mature with you.”

She told *Bustle* how the song was made saying, "I wrote the intro, chorus, and the second line, and then I stopped and gave up on it for a few days, usually if I'm going to write a song, I have to finish it then or I'll never be able to revisit it because I'm out of that moment and that momentum is lost. I thought I was leaving *Stray* behind, and then the rest just popped in my mind later."

*Stray* is produced by Greg Wells.

## The music video and live performances

Grace VanderWaal - Stray (Official Video)Grace VanderWaal - Stray (Live from The Slipper Room)
The video concept was Grace’s idea and Blythe Thomas directed the video, which was filmed at the Joshua Tree National Park in California.

*Bustle* says the music video “mirrors the song's lyrical themes of adulthood and identity, following two versions of VanderWaal as she wanders through the desert — one dressed in white, and one dressed in black, bicycling blindfolded.”

Grace told *Bustle* "It's about my different personalities, almost. I feel like everyone has a personality that they show for different people they know in their life, and they may switch to those involuntarily, It feels like I'm biking blindfolded, growing up and maturing, and obviously, if you're not yourself you're going to crash... growing up and not knowing where I'm going to go or what the next turn is; industry or not, I think it's something everyone faces.”

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wanna write a song

One that can explain my lungs

I wanna write a song

That you can hear and

Know how my heart yearns

And how my insides churn

And how my cheeks burn

From the weekly storm

And how my face turns

Before you return to the wall

And then down the floor

[Chorus]

I keep only seeing rain

I will say no

But you keep crawling in my brain

I wanna get lost, run away

In the dark is where I'll stray

[Verse 2]

I gotta write a song

But I wanna feel my words

And I keep getting it all wrong

Think it out, write it out, rip it out

Start all over, ooh

[Chorus]

And I keep only seeing rain

I will say no

But you keep crawling in my brain

I wanna get lost, run away

In the dark is where I'll...

[Bridge]

I wanna feel the way I used to

I wanna move the way I used to groove

I wanna feel the way I used to

I wanna move the way I used to groove

[Chorus]

But I keep only seeing rain

I keep saying no

But you find your way into my brain

I wanna get lost, run away

In the dark is where I

I keep only seeing rain

I will say no

But you keep crawling in my brain

I wanna get lost, run away

In the dark is where I'll stray

[Outro]

I wanna feel the way I used to

I wanna move the way I used to groove

I wanna feel the way I used to

I wanna feel the way I used to

Beautiful Thing

*Beautiful Thing* is an original song by Grace VanderWaal that is part of her debut EP, *Perfectly Imperfect*, and was also performed for the Quarterfinals of the 11th season of *America’s Got Talent* in 2016.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You think that you know my heart

And you probably do

That's why I'm always with you

I could stay with you for hours

In an empty room

Never get bored

Never have nothing to do

[Pre-Chorus]

You're my other half

You're what makes me, me

What makes me smile

When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up

On my feet

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

We can find the rainbow

Up in the sky

You'd say don't you cry, it's all gonna be alright

[Verse 2]

If we ever got into a fight or war that would be bad

Cause you know all of my secrets

But I know all of yours

We make hours into seconds together

The weight of the world feel like a feather

Cause we're holding it right in our hands

[Pre-Chorus]

You're my other half

What makes me, me

What makes me smile

When I fall down and can't get back, get back, get back up on my feet

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

[Bridge]

You and me together

We'll forget what we have been told

We'll live in our own dream world

You and me forever

We'll forget what we have been told

We will take on the whole world

[Pre-Chorus]

Without you here I am boring

Something inside you is triggering

It makes me myself

Makes me funny

[Chorus]

You're a beautiful thing

We're a beautiful thing together

Even when the weather is low

And that's a beautiful thing

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Wherever the wind blows, ever the wind blows

Don't let go

[Verse 1]

I wanna wake up in a dream, dream, dream

Where the air is softer to breathe, breathe, breathe

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Hold on and don't let go

If we fall down, then you should know

That we could just be

[Chorus]

Blowing florets, I wanna dance in the air

Blowing florets, and just not care

About anyone or anything but you and me

So don't let go of me

Don't let go of me, eeh

[Verse 2]

I wanna rise up with the trees, trees, trees

And let go of our responsibi-li-ties

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And we could just be

[Chorus]

Blowing florets, I wanna dance in the air

Blowing florets, and just not care

About anyone or anything but you and me

So don't let go of me

Don't let go of me, eeh

Wherever the wind blows, ever the wind blows

Don't let go

Wherever the wind blows, ever the wind blows

Don't let go

[Chorus]

Blowing florets, and just not care

About anyone or anything but you and me

Don't let go of me-e, oh

Don't let go of me-e-e-e-ooh

Don't let go of me

[Outro]

Don't let go

Don't let go-o

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You see a girl in the hallway

And you whisper to your friend, "Who is she anyway?"

You forgot what she looks like in like a day

But your words don't hurt me

I will be okay

[Bridge]

'Cause you don't hurt me

I won't mold to...

[Chorus]

Your silly words

I won't live inside your world

Because your punches and your names

All your jokes and stupid games

They don't work

No they don't hurt

Watch them just go right through me

Because they mean nothing to me

I'm not Clay

[Verse 2]

You see that girl in the hallway

Smile on her face as she walks away

Trying to tear her down was your first mistake

'Cause little do you know she wasn't built to break

[Bridge]

'Cause you don't hurt me

I won't mold to...

[Chorus]

Your silly words

I won't live inside your world

Because your punches and your names

All your jokes and stupid games

They don't work

No they don't hurt

Watch them just go right through me

Because they mean nothing to me

[Bridge]

Try to change my shape

But, baby, I'm not Clay

Sorry not today

Because, baby, I'm not...

Try to change my shape

But, baby, I'm not Clay

Sorry not today

Because, baby, I'm not Clay

[Chorus]

Your silly words

I won't live inside your world

Because your punches and your names

All your jokes and stupid games

They don't work

No they don't hurt

Watch them just go right through me

Because they mean nothing to me

I'm not Clay

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Ah, ah

[Verse 1 - Ingrid Michaelson]

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

[Verse 2 - Ingrid Michaelson]

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly (Deck the halls with boughs of holly)

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

[Verse 1 - Grace VanderWaal]

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

[Verse 2 - Both]

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly (Deck the halls with boughs of holly)

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

[Verse 2 - Both, Ingrid Michaelson, Grace VanderWaal]

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly (Deck the halls with boughs of holly)

I Don’t Like You

*I Don’t Like You* is the fourth and final single off of Grace VanderWaal’s EP, *LETTERS: Vol. 1*.

## The making of *I Don’t Like You*

Grace told *Genius* “The main inspiration behind this song was centralized around the chorus and the whole, ’I don’t love you but I like you’ thing. Just because that’s something that I really needed an escape for because I always escape through relating to music and there are hateful songs, there are lovely songs, but I couldn’t really relate to any of those. I really needed something where it’s, ’I have so much respect and I truly love you. I have love for you, I just don’t like you.’ I would take a bullet for you obviously, but just don’t talk to me.’

She also told *Genius* about the songwriting process, saying “So I actually didn’t come into the studio with that idea. I always tend to write sadder songs and this song was very crucial for me mentally. I really at the time needed to get this out of my system. So I walked in, I was like in an angsty mood and that idea kind of came together. How I write songs normally, especially if there are co-writers or even producers in the room, I normally like to play music and riff off–almost like a jam sesh or a freestyle rap. You’ll take a line and then someone else takes a line. It’s kind of the same thing except pop. So we do that and the whole, ‘I love you but I don’t like you’ thing came up. So then we took that and built the rest of the song.”

*I Don’t Like You* was produced by Blake Slatkin.

## The music video and live performances

Grace VanderWaal - I Don't Like You (Official Video)Grace VanderWaal Performs 'I Don’t Like You' Live + EXCLUSIVE Interview - -MTVFreshOutGrace VanderWaal - I Don't Like You - Nov 13 2019
Grace VanderWaal co-directed the music video for *I Don’t Like You* with Joakim Carlsson.

*Billboard* described the music video saying, “While looking in the mirror, she reflects on her tumultuous relationship. ‘Here we go again in the same story/ We follow the routine until we say 'I'm sorry,' she sings in the first verse. The tug-of-war of emotions she repeats throughout the chorus -- ‘I love you, but I don't like you’ -- pulls the 15-year-old singer/songwriter in every which direction, while she tugs her signature pigtails that connect her to her look-alikes on each side of her.”

*MTV* said “Wise beyond her years, VanderWaal shows that this video is more than just a form of expression for the teenager, but a careful cultivation of the type of artist she'd like to be known as in the future.”
Talk Good

*Talk Good* is an original song by Grace VanderWaal that is part of her debut album, Just The Beginning.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It sounded so much better in my mind, mind

I guess I messed it up again this time, time, time

There's something else that I wanted to say, say

But my twisted tongue got in the way, way, way

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, my mouth is moving without thinkin'

Ooh, my brain and mouth on different systems

Why can't you see my side of things?

I've been thinkin' 'bout it ever since

[Chorus 1]

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda froze in my tracks

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda had a panic attack

I wish I could talk good

I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk

I wish I could talk good

[Verse 2]

Rerun the conversation in my head, head

Think of all the things that I should've said instead

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, my mouth is moving without thinkin'

Ooh, my brain and mouth on different systems

Why can't you see my side of things?

I've been thinkin' 'bout it ever since

[Chorus 1]

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda froze in my tracks

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda had a panic attack

I wish I could talk good

I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk

I wish I could talk good

I wish I could talk good

I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk

I wish I could talk good

[Bridge]

My words, my mind

Are worth all your time

My words, my mind

Are worth all your time

I don't wanna be a puppet getting caught on your line

I come back to these words every time

[Chorus 2]

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda had a panic attack

I wish I said this, I wish I said that

But I kinda froze in my tracks

I wish it went the way it went in my head

But it kinda crashed and burned instead

Why does it always end up like this and I

So badly wish I could talk good (Said this, said that)

I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk

I wish I could talk good

I wish I could talk good (Said this, said that)

I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk

I wish I could talk good
Clearly

*Clearly* is a song Grace VanderWaal released on March 30, 2018 that is Grace’s version of the 1972 hit *I Can See Clearly Now* by Johnny Nash.

## The making of *Clearly*

Grace told *USA Today* how *Clearly* came about saying “It actually wasn't my idea at all. The producer, Ido (Zmishlany, who was a producer on VanderWaal's album), and a couple others, were reimagining the song and adding to it. He asked me to join in and help out a little and maybe even sing it, and I ended up really liking it.”

Grace wrote the bridge of *Clearly* and co-wrote the rest of the song with writers Neil Ormandy, Michael Watters, Chloe Angelides, and Ido Zmishlany.

*Clearly* was produced by Ido Zmishlany.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a world outside my door

I don't know it anymore

I'm gonna stay here now

I'm gonna stay here now

Close the curtains, cut the lights

Match the darkness in my mind

It's gonna take me down

It's gonna take me down

[Pre-Chorus]

All the roads I've been before

Same mistakes always got me shakin'

And all the signs I once ignored

In my denial, I didn't want to face them

[Chorus]

I can see clearly now

The rain has gone

I accept all the things that I cannot change

Gone are the dark clouds

The dawn has come

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

[Verse 2]

There's a world outside my door

I forced my feet down to the floor

I'm gonna make it out

I'm gonna make it out

Take a breath and say a prayer

Find the strength in my despair

It's not gonna take me down

It's not gonna take me down

[Pre-Chorus]

All the roads I've been before

Same mistakes always got me shakin'

And all the signs I once ignored

In my denial, I didn't want to face them

[Chorus]

I can see clearly now

The rain has gone

I accept all the things that I cannot change

Gone are the dark clouds

The dawn has come

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

[Bridge]

All the pain in my sorrow

Won't change today, only ruin tomorrow

All the pain in my sorrow

Won't change today, only ruin tomorrow

[Chorus]

I can see clearly now

The rain has gone

I accept all the things that I cannot change

Gone are the dark clouds

The dawn has come

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day
Burned

*Burned* is an original song by Grace VanderWaal that is part of her debut album, *Just The Beginning*.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You tell me that I'm crazy

Doin' this alone

You don't need to save me

Oh, how I have grown

[Pre-Chorus]

I am capable of everything you can see

But now I want to change

[Chorus 1]

Just blow out the candles

Oh, little boy, when will you learn?

You don't play with fire

Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

Just blow out the candles

Oh, how the tables, they've turned

You don't play with fire

Unless you wanna get burned, you wanna get burned

(Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned)

[Verse 2]

Something's just so crazy

Things you'll never know

There is always that word, "Maybe"

That keeps stringing you along

[Pre-Chorus]

Hmm, 'cause I am capable of everything you can see

But now I want to change

[Chorus 1]

Just blow out the candles

Oh, little boy, when will you learn?

You don't play with fire

Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

Blow out the candles

Oh, how the tables, they've turned

You don't play with fire

Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

[Bridge]

What is that, that I see

Floating right in front of me?

Lock the door, try to leave

But now it's clear to me

[Chorus 2]

You didn't blow out the candles

Oh, little boy, you never learn

You don't play with fire

But you're already burned, you're already burned

Blow out the candles

Oh, little boy, you've never learned

You don't play with fire

But you're already burned, you're already burned

[Outro]

Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned

Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned

Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned

(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)

(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)

(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)

## Lyrics

[Whispering Intro]

[Verse 1]

Hugs and kisses

Best friends forever, you tell me

Pinky swears and bracelets

Always telling secrets at slumber parties

[Pre-Chorus]

Not trying to point any fingers

But I've heard the whispers

Going around

Not trying to point you out here

Just making the facts clear

That I have found

[Chorus]

That you're the gossip girl

I thought you were real to me

The gossip girl

But you're just plastic, girl

Shiny plastic hard shell

Don't give in to gossip, girl

[Verse 2]

We were closer than sisters

I was the miss to your mister

You were the light to my fixture

I was the frame to your picture [x2]

[Chorus]

But you're the gossip girl

I thought you were real to me

The gossip girl

But you're just plastic, girl

Shiny plastic hard shell

Don't give in to gossip, girl

I thought you were real to me

The gossip girl

But you're just plastic, girl

Shiny plastic hard shell

Don't give in to

[Bridge]

Gossip girls, they always seem to

Talk the talk about you

Gossip girls, they always seem to

Talk the talk but never say the truth

[Chorus]

That you're the gossip girl

I thought you were real to me

The gossip girl

But you're just plastic, girl

Shiny plastic hard shell

Don't give in to gossip, girl

I thought you were real to me

The gossip girl

But you're just plastic, girl

Shiny plastic hard shell

Don't give in to gossip, girl

Gossip girl

Quotes

Original quotes by Grace VanderWaal

* Always be kind, but kindness doesn’t mean that you have to not say what you think.
* The way I deal with the haters is that they’re supporting me even though it might be negativity, they’re putting another comment on my page which is helping me in the long run achieve my goal.
Hideaway

*Hideaway* is a song featured in the animated movie *Wonder Park* that was sung by Grace VanderWaal and written by Will Jay, Emily Kocontes, Katie Stump, Steven Price, & Jonny Shorr.

## Background

At the *Wonder Park* premiere, Grace told *Bionic Buz*z how *Hideaway* relates to her life saying, “I kind of feel like I’m at the age where I’m starting to mature and grow up, and I feel like this is the age where … a lot of people feel like they need to branch away from their imagination and childhood dreams, which is stupid … It’s okay to hold onto your imagination growing up.”

Grace told *ET Live* “The whole thing [Wonder Park]  was staying true to your innocence while still growing up and maturing. And I feel like ‘Hideaway is really about that. Like, you know, you don’t have to ‘grow up’ to cope with life.”

## *Hideaway* in *Wonder Park*

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let's wrap a blanket 'round us

And go flyin' into outer space

We could be famous, speak a different language

Make our great escape

[Pre-Chorus]

I'll chase the stars inside your eyes

And follow you into the great unknown

We'll be alone

[Chorus]

So let's just play pretend and find a secret place

When the world around us says that we should act our age

The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste

But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

[Verse 2]

And build a city, something out of nothing

Make this place a home, a home

Stay make-believing, we'll go disappearing

Who would ever know?

[Pre-Chorus]

We'll never be too far apart

'Cause in the end, you and I both know

There's somewhere we can go
[Chorus]

So let's just play pretend and find a secret place

When the world around us says that we should act our age

The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste

But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

[Bridge]

Just want to hide away

Hide away, hide away

Hide away, hide away

We'll never grow up

Just want to hide away

Hide away, hide away

Hide away, hide away

[Chorus]

So let's just play pretend and find a secret place

When the world around us says that we should act our age

The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste

But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

So let's just play pretend and find a secret place

When the world around us says that we should act our age

The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste

But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

Don't make me grow up, I say we hide away
Lungs

*Lungs* is an original song by Grace VanderWaal that is part of the Target edition of her debut album, Just The Beginning.

## 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 puddle of rain puddling 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

And just close your eyes and go oh-oh-oh

Let's just live life as we are

'Cause we only have limited ti-i-ime

[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

[Outro]

I just wanna let go

Ooh, ooh

## The making of *LETTERS: Vol.1*

Grace told *Music Week* “This EP is closest thing to what I hear in my mind that I’ve made so far. I always hear some things that I’m never able to execute, I’ve improved by expressing myself, being able to communicate better. I’m proud of it because I really am excited for people to hear what I hear.”

When asked about her songwriting process, Grace told *CelebMix* “I’ve approached the songwriting differently with this EP, it’s much more personal. The entire process of the EP was me saying no to the wrong ideas and wanting to do it my way, saying screw it, whatever, I wanted to say what I was feeling. That was the most important thing to me when writing Letters.”

When asked about what inspired her to name the EP *LETTERS*, Grace told *CelebMix*, “I wanted to name it Letters as it’s so personal to me. It’s such a detailed piece and I’ve never stepped into that before, writing about my own personal experiences and thoughts.”

Waste My Time

*Waste My Time* is the third single off of Grace VanderWaal’s EP, *LETTERS: Vol. 1*.

## The making of *Waste My Time*

Grace told *Teen Vogue* about *Waste My Time* saying, “What I like about it is that it has a really nice contrast of kind of messed up lyrics, but it's fun at the same time. That's a feeling I really wanted to portray. Like when things are messed up, people say you shouldn't waste your time, you only have one shot. You're only young once. This is a song [that says], whatever, I don't care, I'll waste it.”

*Waste My Time* was produced by Ido Zmishlany.

## The music video and live performances

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Runnin' with you it's like we're in a memory

That I'll try to forget when you grow up and leave

Walkin' slow because the time's been running far

Maybe I should grow up, leave you with a scar

[Pre-Chorus]

You say "I love you" with an accent (Ah-ah)

Then I pretend like nothin' happened (Ah-ah-ah)

Tell me, won't you miss Manhattan?

And even though this is pointless

And even though this is hopeless

[Chorus]

I just wanna waste my time

And I just wanna waste your time

We can do anything you like

We can talk all night (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]

I'm unsure of you because I know you'll leave

You say you love me but I whisper "I don't believe"

Stoppin' moments 'cause I can't let it be true

This is going nowhere but I love wasting my time with you

[Pre-Chorus]

You say "I love you" with an accent (Ah-ah)

Then I pretend like nothing happened (Ah-ah-ah)

Tell me, won't you miss Manhattan?

And even though this is pointless

And even though this is hopeless

[Chorus]

I just wanna waste my time

And I just wanna waste your time

We can do anything you like

We can talk all night (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Just waste my time

Waste your time

[Pre-Chorus]

You say "I love you" with an accent

And then I look away and act like nothing happened

Tell me honestly, will you miss seeing Manhattan?

And even though this is pointless

And even though this is hopeless

[Chorus]

I just wanna waste my time

And I just wanna waste your time

We can do anything you like

We can talk all night

I'll pretend you're mine

Just waste my time

[Outro]

Waste my time

(Darling, you have one life and time will fly so)

Waste your time

(Spend it wise, for you I'd happily waste mine)

Waste, waste, my time

(You have one life and time will fly so)

Waste your time

(Spend it wise, for you I'd happily waste mine)

Missing You

*Missing You* (the coffeehouse version) is an original song by Grace VanderWaal that was part of the Walmart edition of her debut EP, *Perfectly Imperfect*.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, there's something I think you should know, ooh

Something that's really important to me

You know we used to hang out whether it was sun, rain, or snow, ooh

Talking to you used to be a breeze

[Chorus]

Can someone please tell me where to find you?

Cuz sometimes I miss that smile from your face

And some people say that it's part of getting older, but

I don't think that's true

I still miss you

[Verse 2]

Hey, so I guess you just thought you'd let it be

Thought everything was overrated

But please, may I just ask why you think they are better than me

I guess that [?] just has kinda faded

[Chorus]

So tell me, will I ever see you again?

Cuz sometimes I miss hanging around your face

And some people say that it's all for the better, but

I don't think that's true

I still miss you, ooh yea

You

[Outro]

Hey, there's something I think you should know, ooh

Something that's really important to me
City Song

*City Song* is the last single off of Grace VanderWaal’s debut album, *Just The Beginning*.

## The making of *City Song*

Grace told *Billboard* “Growing up in New York, I always loved going to the city but was always disappointed because the city is busy and dirty, but songs out there made it seem very perfect and magical. Now at age 13, I learned that it’s not about the city itself, it’s about taking something and making it your own magical dream. That was the inspiration behind this song.”

*City Song* was produced by Gregg Wattenberg and Mike Adubato.

## The music video and live performances

Grace VanderWaal - City Song (Official Video)Grace VanderWaal Performs 'City Song' (Live Acoustic) - -MTVXGRACE
Brian Petchers directed the *City Song* music video, which was filmed in New York City, New York.

*Billboard* says the *City Song* music video “features her running around New York City, taking in the sights and sounds. The video appropriately ends with an angry New Yorker yelling at the 14-year-old pop singer for stopping on the sidewalk.”

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fresh laid concrete

Melodies blowing

Don't care where we're going

But the day is wasting

Just keep moving

And take it all in!

[Pre-Chorus]

The rumble of voices

Are the bass to our song

The horns are just on the beat

Honkin' along

Let's be the harmony

But no note is wrong

[Chorus]

And let's take the city

And make it our song

Our song

Our song

Let's take the city

And make it our song

[Verse 2]

Pencil tapping

Feet speed walking

Cars just driving

Daydream gazing

Just keep moving

And take it all in

[Pre-Chorus]

The rumble of voices

Are the bass to our song

The horns are just on the beat

Honkin' along

Let's be the harmony

But no note is wrong

[Chorus]

And let's take the city

And make it our song

Our song

Our song

Let's take the city

And make it our song

[Bridge]

Everything going on around you

Just close your eyes

And disconnect for a moment or two

And hear

[Pre-Chorus]

The rumble of voices

Are the bass to our song

The horns are just on the beat

Honkin' along

We'll be the harmony

But no note is wrong

[Chorus]

And let's take the city

And make it our song

Our song

Our song

Let's take the city

And make it our song

Война

В июле 2018 года началась лесная война 7-8 линий против 6-1 длительностью 2 недели.

день 1: все началось с нападение на одного из жителей 8 линии в результате чего велосипед и сам человек были сброшены в канаву. Через час случился первый набег но 7-8 линии успели подготовится однако все все равно были заброшены камнями. через 7 часов началась первая ответная атака в результате которой 3 анархистов были избиты.
