    I’ve been a fan of Alex G’s music for a few years now, and I’ve been scrolling past this video for a while now. Finally just watched it and I love the way he thinks and speaks. It’s so comforting and easy to understand. I feel like he and I could have a good jumping from conversation to conversation time lol

    I find it soooo fitting that he used to think of video-game making as an outlet for developing storytelling. I mean his songs already have like this quality of narrating something, be it fictional or not, in the way that you don't really know where the lyrics are coming from, yet they get somewhat realistic when they turn to be relatable or even mention specific names or situations. Idk man I just love his writing, i think he already is a great storyteller

    so much thanks to Alex and RFC for doing this, theres like no good interviews with Alex on UA-cam, and you guys asked great questions in this. Also thank you so much for asking the question about him playing on Blonde, I haven't been able to find information on it at all. Its super cool to know that he played on two of my favorite songs on the album.
