People lookin at me nasty
With an everlasting gaze
People find it so embarrassing to live a life this way
Treat me like a living heresy
And they're laughin in my face again
Standing far beyond the distance
They match their breath and say
Fools and their Foolish Ways
Oh they keep on sayin
Fools and their Foolish Ways
People lookin lookin jealousy
Casting shadows my way
Yet I beckon their attention
To write me off they say
Fools and their Foolish Ways
Oh they keep on sayin
Fools and their Foolish Ways
But I am hidden from their thunder
In a sanctuary of my mind
Away from misery created
I boxed it up, left it behind
Manipulated in a Looking Glass World
Judging so shamelessly
Everyone prepared for battle
It's a nasty nasty thing
Fools and their Foolish Ways
Oh they keep on comin
Fools and their Foolish Ways
But I am hidden from their thunder
In a sanctuary of mind
Away from misery created
I boxed it up, left it behind

Foolish Ways
Grace Aimi
The judged becomes the judge.
The outsider becomes the observer.
And the fool becomes us all.
Once again, Grace joins forces with YANCY of Hidden Gem Label, who composed and arranged the song. Their creative partnership is built on an instinctive understanding of one another. For Grace, working with YANCY is one of the blessings of her career: music can be made without having to translate the heart or the mind first.
Together, they create a sound that feels dark, fantastical, and slightly otherworldly, while remaining deeply rooted in the realities of human nature.
In her new single, "Foolish Ways" Grace Aimi explores judgment, isolation, and the fragile hierarchies we create between one another.
The "Fool" is herself. The outsider. The observer. And ultimately, everyone.
The song explores the tension of being cast away and judged for being different, while simultaneously being admired, idolized, or tokenized for that same difference.
"Foolish Ways" is another glimpse into the world they create together.
