Incredible to me that alex hasnt recorded this. Although, there is something very magical about the candidness of this video. How something so beautiful can be shot on a phone, in a grey stairwell, with some whispering n shit, and be so impactful
That’s a nice opinion. I like his music too. But there’s so many people out there writing brilliant songs who simply don’t have the connections to have their music heard. Music is also subjective. I’d say Alex has been an important contributor to mainstream diy and he’s more capable than any I’ve seen as of yet.
@@vivito- if you mean demarco, he’s a creep and his music isn’t even good. alex g is a great guy and incredibly talented, maybe not the best to some but he’s definitely way up there
It's other types of styles like Ed Sheeran old albums with cool patterns and I can't really think of an other but this band called "Kitchen" it's not popular but verry rare and underrated band.
I don't know if anyone else recognizes it but the whispers that are picked up by the mic around 0:32 actually give so much to this recording musically, like they were meant to be there.
Watch your mouth, or I'll make you wash it out I will teach you to be good, Mary Cause after all you locked yourself, in a dream and all The very, very special things you've seen won't mean a thing And all your friends wanna sail around the bend But I won't let them take your wind, Mary And even still you got this far, but you're not there and all The little things that got you here won't get you anywhere So you be kind, and I will take you back through time I will take away your pain, Mary
The composition skills of his are unlike others in the game. The writing is invocative, introspective and the chord progression is beautiful, especially the Fm-Bb7 part. Id put this next to Lennon's 'Julia' but that's only my opinion. Thats just how I feel this song's level is.
@@odunayofemi-oke4417 true but it's just my inner feeling. Objectively in your teenage years young adulthood you have a lot more opportunities and time to have fun then when you are older..

Dude I literally go to the high school where this was filmed but idk where the staircase is we’ve recently had renovations so I’m not sure if it’s even still here
Writing a song in high school that strangers on UA-cam want tabs of is an astonishing achievement.
Yes
really shows you how many garbage wannabe guitar players/musicians like alex g

nah he can just do that

there's just something so special about him being in some random stairwell looking so normal and then he just produces this???
hes so talented
Trying to learn this the way he plays it makes me realize how fucking musically talented this guy really is.
Why do u say that?
@@somes3cretcatthis person won’t respond but because it’s extremely difficult and intricate i just tried learning it it’s nearly impossible
@@gusbunch4079it’s really not that hard. writing it is a different story tho
@@lasquish552 He actually told on reddit Q&A that he never learned music theory. I was in disbelief when I read that
@lasquish552 agreed. He does have very clean playing here, but its the writing that always stands out in his music
his guitar playing is flawless
Alex G is the most talented musician and songwriter of this generation
Facts
So far

That will be Mac.

alex is some kind of genius i swear
he is an alien
I never really knew that just an acoustic guitar could make this kind of sound.
It’s truly a wonderful instrument
listen 2 sum Neil young
nick drake, elliott smith, neil young, joni mitchell... countless more that inluenced him

I've listened to your album ab 200 times!
no way
Same! I might have a problem! 🤣
Alex G's songs honestly make me cry.
Watch your mouth, or I'll make you wash it out
I will teach you to be good, Mary
Cause after all you locked yourself, in a dream and all
The very, very special things you've seen won't mean a thing
And all your friends wanna sail around the bend
But I won't let them take your wind, Mary
And even still you got this far, but you're not there and all
The little things that got you here won't get you anywhere
So you be kind, and I will take you back through time
I will take away your pain, Mary
real
props
is this your way of proposing
this is hands down my favorite song of all time.
You always say everything is your favorite thing.
Hi Mat ✋
lmaooo
Lol no way this is a full circle moment for me
Decade old comment
This just made my love for Alex G skyrocket.
Could not have said it better myself!!

I think this is the type of memory that flashes before your eyes in a melancholy departure from this place
Beautiful
Perfect
Haha “memory”
This song is so good. It should definitely be on an album.

Its off album Nothing

This song is so comforting. Can't stop listening to it.
This young man is magic
Why doesn't this song have more views, it's absolutely amazing!
that whisper...the world needs a studio version of this track
The whisper is legendary
I kind of like the way it sounds on the staircase tho, but a studio version would still be great

invocative doesn't make sense in this context, but that's just part of the reason this is one of the stupidest comments I've ever read

Beautiful. Catching on to Alex's music has sincerely made my life better. Thanks Alex.
An unbelievable, once in 12 lifetimes talent
1:06 is just heavenly
I love listening to raw, acoustic music like this. So much better than the artificial things we hear these days.

i think she's a weed metaphor? idk
There's another song he made called Mary. I guess either she's real or just a go-to name that goes well in songs.

Got me tearing up
