i left this comment during a really rough time in my life. it’s nice to come back to it and see how many people love alex g out there and how supportive everyone here is. i can’t say i’m doing ‘better’ than i was, but i’m a bit farther along, and maybe that counts for something. i love you all, take care.
i love alex g so much, his music makes me want to go run in a random field and do whatever i want with my friends and just not care about anything at all every song is like a breath of fresh air and he makes me feel like a kid and so nostalgic like the messy 12 year old cis boy childhood i never got but wanted so bad. he makes me feel comfortable in my skin but an uneasy feeling at the same time i cant explain it , thank you :)
i can't fully relate as a cis guy, but i hope that feeling sticks with you all the same, man. go camping w/ your friends, build a tire swing, make some dirt-covered memories. :-) ♡

Every single Alex G track slaps so fucking hard I just want to cry but like happy tears and I do. :( He mastered the art of beautifully constructed pop songs like seriously I feel alive for once.
This is an absolutely fantastic mix! I’ve been listening on my work computer so I haven’t been able to comment but this is seriously my favorite mix on RU-vid fantastic curation!
if u don’t wanna know nothing about what songs are in the mix do not read. k. wanted to write a little something right here…. after months of loving salt and the ending being my favorite part of any alex g song (because it always gave off the feelings that this version uses) - i am just now hearing this version or demo in the mix. at first i was like haha the riff and then my gut dropped and i was in shock. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE. made my night and will probably make the next few months too. mwah.
I’m starting to post some diy stuff. I’m bipolar 1 so I’m not exactly sane. I am literally only using an iPhone, GarageBand, acoustic guitar and an old busted synth. I’ll try to mooch and save to upload some savory stuff. I intend to do some covers, like Alex G, Elliott Smith, modest mouse, Daniel Johnston and lazy old Beck, that really salad kinda stuff. Thanks if you do. Positive reinforcement seems to work well for me. Constructive criticism too. Free inspiration is awesome.
Alex G used garageband on a laptop and a cheap microphone for his first 3 released albums and obviously all his unreleased music. So you're in good company. Go for it.
@@avipeach youre a lifesaver. i love you, i hope your life is filled with warmth and happiness. i hope you wake up every day thinking life is worth it. thank you (also i love your profile picture candy claws is wonderful)
Fuck TikTok, they could never ruin his songs, and either way they will never truly get his stuff. Only certain people really understand and feel the music he makes.
more intimate. this stuff sounds more passionate, less rehearsed and polished. you can really just hear the "stoner dude making music in his bedroom". Alex G truly is a genius and a very talented song writer
It's probably what he was used to more. He made his first 3 actual album that were released solely by himself and a cheap microphone to record and mix on Bandcamp.
I don't think I'd personally consider him white. He's Italian and those features definitely come through dominant. Brown skin, brown eyes, black hair. He's definitely American though.
