Alex G - "Boy" 

I really like how a lot of Alex's songs are about dogs

i get heart palpitations hearing him preform as if i haven’t listened to the song 200 times

What a brilliant songwriter

the chord changes are delightful

He's so beautiful holy fuck

Amazing chord progressions

I remember listening to this song a year or so ago while walking to school. It was a cold, misty morning. For some reason I was holding back tears. I am not the boy you knew.

THEY DONT KNOW I LOVE THIS SONG MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF

Literally bought tickets to his Toronto show even tho I’ve only listened to like 3 songs by him just because it felt like the right thing to do being an avid Elliott smith fan. I feel like Alex is the next best thing to him and almost feels the same as the feeling I got listening to Elliott the first time 🥹🥹🫠 there are very few musicians and ppl I know that fit into this category of uniqueness and I’m so happy to witness this other worldly talent omg ok bye

still come back to this years later

this is so fun to play on guitar!

Still loving this one

my favorite alex g song

ohnoimlateforlife

Lyrics : Stray dog is walkin' down the street Next to another dog They're eating mud and Starting to smell me Two babies Dangerous and free When I got home I told my baby The story She said to me "I think you're funny, you saw What you wanted to see" And I said "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy" Feel like a million eyes on me Feel like a cannon ball I see A tree, it loses all its leaves And you are dead to me You watch someone you know Grow into static company And now you see Do you wish you were?

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

such a great take

1:08 this part gets me every mf time

1:54 how come when he looked up i started crying ?

No way its almost been 10 years since DSU came out

beautiful baby

Alex you remind me of a modern day J Mascis and it's the best thing that could ever happen... get ready 2020

i am not the boy you knew

Dude I couldn’t find the actual tabs from this video cus I LOVE IT SO MUCH so I got the chords but can’t seem to make out the 2nd verse’s last 2 chords. wat r they??? also I might tab the chords so people can play it

hes so clear

legend

I love this!

I miss this clean face

I LOVE U

ah yes the best beginner song to learn

10/10 song ommmmmmmmmmm

i kin this song

the guitar part of the chorus sounds eerily like the ballad of big nothing by Elliot Smith

please tell me he does not look like a brown haired version of Kurt Cobain while he was playing unplugged. Alex G is one special musician.

Wow. Incredible

does anyone know the tuning? sounds like standard

Alright 2:30

scape

Very Beatles.--Jackie
