Christina Grimmie

Hi!

A nice cloudy Sunday it is today and finally a day I can take a breather at home after a really hectic school week. This post will be all about Christina Grimmie who is a singer/songwriter known as zeldaxlove64 on Youtube if you don't know. 



She is best known for her cover of 'Just A Dream' by Nelly which made the already-awesome song sound even better by making it as a duet. Love it so much and it's the best cover of a song I have ever heard. I have blogged about the song lyrics before and it's right here. It has been 3 years and I'm still madly in love with the cover!

Christina Grimmie & Sam Tsui 
'Just a Dream' by Nelly 

My favourite cover from her, aside from Just a Dream, is Miley Cyrus Medley. I love Miley Cyrus's songs and Christina did a really good job putting them together!

Miley Cyrus Medley 

When the waves are flooding the shore
(I remember when we kissed)
And I can't find my way home anymore
(I still feel it on my lips)
Thats when I, I, I look at you
(The time that you danced with me, oh oh)

I probably shouldn't say this 
But at times I get so scared 
When I think about the previous relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
(I had my sights set on you, ready to aim)
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing ever gonna change until you're here my dear

(It's the climb)
(If we were a movie)
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if its over 
(Always gonna be another mountain)
Cause I will leave you alone 

(It's the climb)
(If we were a movie)
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold ya
(Always gonna want to make it move
Like I did before the storm

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh-la-la-la
(Always gonna be an uphill battle)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh
(Sometimes you're gonna have to lose)

Feel like hopping on a flight
(I got a crazy feeling)
Back to my home town tonight
(Deep inside)
Something stops me every time 
(I have a way of knowing)
We were awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me, not to care

Breakout let the party start
Were gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart 
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
When I look at you
You get best of both world
It's the climb
Always gonna be another mountain
Throw my hands up, they're playing my song
If we were a movie, you'd be the right guy
It's the climb 
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I know its gonna be okay
Like I did before the storm 

Christina Grimmie used to produce only covers of songs and she would be in her bedroom with her keyboard but she has moved on really far until day. She has her own album and has performed on numerous stages. Oh and and, Selena Gomez is actually her mentor and she has performed in some performing acts for Selena's tour. 



[The Vampire Diaries season 5 SPOILER ALERT]
What inspired me for this post is that The Vampire Diaries, which you should've known by now that I'm crazy and gaga all over, used an original song by Christina Grimmie for the latest episode, season 5 episode 7: Death and the Maiden




The song is played in the background during the scene when Bonnie thought that she was going to leave Jeremy forever as the supernatural barrier was about to be taken down and Jeremy told her that he loved her. But in actual fact, Tessa had actually managed to successfully bring her back to life and Elena and Caroline could finally see her once again in front of them. A perfect song for such a perfect scene is Christina Grimmie's With Love


Christina Grimmie
With Love 

You called me out and taught me tough
With love, with love
You fought my flaws, my teeth, my claws
With love, with love

Cause every time I'm slipping away from myself
You're the one that moves me like nobody else

Cause when I'm down and I'm done
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love 

Oh no no

Your tongue won't tie
You'll always find the truth 
Yeah you do 
But still you smile despite the lines 
I drew for you

Cause every time I'm slipping away from myself 
You're the one that moves me like nobody else

Cause when I'm down and I'm done 
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love

Wound down, when I'm coming undone (no)
You're always there with love
When I'm down and I'm out, when I fall
You're always always always
Always there

When I'm down and I'm done
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall 
You're the one always holding me up 
With love 

When I'm down and I'm done 
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall, you're the one 
Always holding me up
With love

It's so amazing and I have this song on replay. She has a really beautiful voice and I could not believe that she is actually the same age as (1994 baby yay!) so it kind of made me feel talented-less because she's so established and all. Anyway, she's my favourite youtube singer and even though she hardly ever does any covers anymore, her own original songs are amazing. 

I'll be posting about the movie Ender's Game in my next post. Stay tuned ;)
