Hello Alex G 's fans, I want to remind you all I cried about 12 times with this song, hes the best Artist I've ever knew, thank you Alex G community for appearing in my fyp on tiktok back on 2022, it made me become a fan.
@@K1pee hell nah, i aint not crying bout nothin mfers. respectefully, im just sayin .... sendin h8 frum chile mfers and macidonoia i a prisonner of war, like YNW melly say" im got murders on mamind" export gorld in my right hand, bunch o springonion on my left, pea chips in ma belly welly, im outski
My boyfriend played this song for me a year ago and when I clicked on this I forgot what it was until I played it driving down the road and it actually made me cry. The song is so beautiful. It reminds me of him and it makes me feel so nostalgic of simpler times.
lyrics: White bird in a black cloud You flap, eyes rolled back Medicine gave you a heart attack Big fight for a small right First flight into white light Pull the trigger love at first flight Big plan for a big man Tough change for a tough guy Twitching out the corner of your eye White bird in a black cloud Rain comin' down, thinking hey Maybe we should turn this boat around Heaven - maybe freedom What's the word? Right, I forgot Quiet is the closest thing we got
+Wrong Angle eh. Looks like he tried to type "no shit" but accidentally added a letter and it spell checked to "don't shit". Or maybe English isn't his native language. Either way it's not that big of a deal.
Even though this is a modern song it reminds me of my youth, growing up on the east coast. its a feeling I have since lost moving out west 8 years ago.
fuck the east coast cuh, sending hate from the chile, west coast mfer, my thing is, raisin thai children like they mushrooms, fuck the military industrial complex in mognolia, fr, idaho
@@daysgonebuy stfu cuh, u aint know nothin bout knowing bout east coast, bet u never even seen an eastern coast like mfer right here has, hate from chile
Just saw them open for Built to Spill on Monday night. hadn't heard them before and immediately liked them. This song has a Heatmiser feel to it which is not a bad thing.
Thanks. I wish I would have gotten a chance to see Heatmiser back in the day. If you haven't already checked it out, Alex G put out a new album Last year called House of Sugar. Pretty cool.
jimmydelux I wish i could have also, also just to see elliott smith preform at all would have been amazing. and oh yeah i think its his best yet!! Crime and Southern Sky are some of my fav songs ever
stop comparing this shit to anything else. the last thing the world needs are more fucking critics telling us what we should be hearing. just sit back and enjoy the tunes. Alex g is a g.
Everyone gets compared. There is nothing new, just new voices reimagining.. sonic youth and pavement are obvious influences but his song writing is much more personal and easy to relate to. Pretty direct. Anyone who has struggled with this affliction will be taken back. He is about as honest as it gets
White bird in a black cloud You flap, eyes rolled back Medicine gave you a heart attack Big fight for a small right First flight into white light Pull the trigger love at first bite Big plan for a big man Tough change for a tough guy Twitching out the corner of your eye White bird in a black cloud Rain comin' down, thinking hey Maybe we should turn this boat around Heaven - maybe freedom What's the word? Right, I forgot Quiet is the closest thing we got
that whole 90s style of quieter indie rock is definitely coming back for sure. Elliot Smith, Duster, Pinback, Low, Red House Painters, and also the earliest material from Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, and Of Montreal all are really big influences on the new current indie sound of today
Dude has anyone tried to figure out this time signature I think it switches from 4/4 to 15/4 then the guitar riff at the end i think is in 15/8 it feels so natural completely enthralled with this song
To be honest about all of these comments , some statements are correct and some are not. Riffs , intervals , chords, etc. you name it music is heard and copied from things we heard in the past. Sometimes it comes out and sometimes it doesn't. It's truly what you make of it. But, yes sometimes there are higher consequences that could happen , or there may not be that all depends on the perception and perspective. Alex G is someone you could say that instead of a journal growing up to use to write in, he instead expresses it with melody , song , and lyrics all completely embellished. He was also my drummer when he was 7-8 years in age and l was honored to have him as that.
Otter Rocket , I'm doing well man haven't seen you guys in a very long time. Hope all is well with you guys too and everyone in the family as well. Nice to hear from you man ! Subscribe to my channel if you want too.
ok "saadguessous7039" why dont u just tell about when u spent 6 months inside ur apartment in denver,corldardo , learning to give urself a foorjob, u freaky boy, you can hide but we'll never forget
I think the story might go somth like this, red truck on the way, hold up, i might even eat that, as for those other two grizzles, let them wonder, no pube , hope it helps
I get that all of the "he sounds like ____" comments are annoying, however this song feels so familiar. I heard it for the first time four days ago but it reminds me of something I've heard before maybe as a child, idk. Hopefully someone else knows what I mean
alex g is referring to the fact that his grandad is promiscous asf and it causes alex g psychological distress the fact his grandady out-fucks him eveyr family gathering, the part about the shoe in the mud refers to shoeing (practice of inserting shoe up anal cavity), which his grandad was famous for, allegedly he once shoes a whole fricking goth girls booty, lil poopy muncher, he was often referred to as a shoe-up-the-ass-kinda-guy, he drove around some fricking 2008 toyota camry, pussy magnet, alroght homeski, hate from chile

Yea I cry to the song hope almost every night plus this song so dam underrated one of my favorites
everyone comparing him to some 90s band but completely missing the fact that the ice cream the kid is eating is incredibly appetizing
right! i want a bite of that lol
Ew its gross and melty
no
the kid or the ice cream
@@calviopwhat.
Alex g gives me so much hope for my future its weird to describe. Love alex g

Did he pass away? RIP 😢
Maybe they just broke up :/ @@tubamannamabut1003
My favorite Alex G’s song!
Fr
lyrics:
White bird in a black cloud
You flap, eyes rolled back
Medicine gave you a heart attack
Big fight for a small right
First flight into white light
Pull the trigger love at first flight
Big plan for a big man
Tough change for a tough guy
Twitching out the corner of your eye
White bird in a black cloud
Rain comin' down, thinking hey
Maybe we should turn this boat around
Heaven - maybe freedom
What's the word? Right, I forgot
Quiet is the closest thing we got
thanks
Post Modest Mouse
Why do I get the feeling the lyrics are about drug use?
lorenz höppner i thought this was about death...i came here to see if anyone knows the meaning of this song because the lyrics sound so sad:(
Thanks for uploading the lyrics.🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨💯💯💯🎼🎼🎼
Too many emotions flow out of me to count after hearing a song like this.
Tough change for a tough guy...
"what's the word, right, I forgot; quiet is the closest thing we got."
(:
Amanda Z seems cool
wrong. fam
i love how he just talks but rhymes and makes sense
Underrated artist
dont shit
"dont shit", what? god I fucking hate UA-cam comments.
+Wrong Angle UA-cam comments fucking hate you too.
It's not hard to be literate.
Honestly, these comments are unbelievably bad.

Alex g is so east coast

@@daysgonebuy stfu cuh, u aint know nothin bout knowing bout east coast, bet u never even seen an eastern coast like mfer right here has, hate from chile
My music taste consists of Alex G and artists that people say sound like him in the comments.
noone can compare to him :(
Try vundabar. You may like them.
@@kingtryptamine9501 lol mhm
Like whom?
@@yoink1113 I'm guessing this is getting some Pavement comparisons, it sounds like it's heavily inspired by them anyway
Just saw them open for Built to Spill on Monday night. hadn't heard them before and immediately liked them. This song has a Heatmiser feel to it which is not a bad thing.
I love heatmiser! kewl connection

Great comparison. People compare him to Elliott's soli stuff, but it's significantly different. It's like if Elliott joined Heatmiser later lol
@@user-ck9lm6xi1o haha good way of putting it
yas
+Katie Dey come back to nooff
+babby nah
how can i make talks with you then
This is a Masterpiece 😭🙏🏽
Reminds me of early Pinback. Great to have a sound like it again.
I was just thinking this
A
pinback is my jam. what other bands sound like them? i mean actually sound like them
no way i knew this sounds familiar!! thanks for this realization
God will always love you and only accept you if you if you have your salvation in Jesus's sacrifice by the grace of God.🙏💙
This song is beautiful there's no other way to describe it
sounds like some good ol alex g
i love it so much. i wish i understood these lyrics but i dont. maybe im not at that point in my life. when i am i hope i know
stop comparing this shit to anything else. the last thing the world needs are more fucking critics telling us what we should be hearing. just sit back and enjoy the tunes. Alex g is a g.
+chach868 Reminds me of Pinback.
+chris marton hehe
+chach868 It's the most inane argument ever. Music is a culture, of course it grows and shares elements with the past.
+MESCIZ "inane" hehe got some scholars here on UA-cam folks
Alex is the songwriting GOAT

Pretty direct. Anyone who has struggled with this affliction will be taken back. He is about as honest as it gets
Love the riff, the lyrics, and melody. The video is awesome especially the one's of the band playing with the lights and the fish eye and stuff

What's the word? Right, I forgot
Quiet is the closest thing we got
Love everything about this
The imagery in his lyrics is unparalleled
I feel so chill right now listening to this song
chill down buddy,
Got to see Alex G play life in Cleveland on May 4th and he was phenomenal
sounds so much like Duster
yeah out of all the music people compare alex too, duster is probably one of the closest fits. that and modest mouse without the vocals
was my first thought too
Thank you for mentioning Duster, friend.

This song is SOOOO GOOOOD!!
first song that got me into his music
In love with Alex and this song
I have ocd and seeing that ice cream running down the kids hand just makes me want to scream
Dude has anyone tried to figure out this time signature I think it switches from 4/4 to 15/4 then the guitar riff at the end i think is in 15/8 it feels so natural completely enthralled with this song
its p much all 4/4, just some interesting accenting
I think it switches time signatures a few times. the main guitar riff is definitely 4/4, but i dont think the verses are
This song is so underrated
the nostalgia that alex g invokes is absolutely nutty
The feeling ur dad invokes on my small under-averaged sized testies, just glamorous
luv this.
this rocks!!
this rockstar
+Ben Hoffmann this's rockstars for your faithfulness
actually, this alt-rocks, you absolute muppet, are u misgendering alex the g?

+DavidAllenScoli are you his brother?
+thalmus bedussey delonge Yes I am !
If your his brother tell him I really like his song "boy" . I wish he'd do more like it but I guess he likes to mix things up ALOT.
hey "David Allen" it's Spenser from the ol' HTown days. hope you're doing well man.
Otter Rocket , I'm doing well man haven't seen you guys in a very long time. Hope all is well with you guys too and everyone in the family as well. Nice to hear from you man ! Subscribe to my channel if you want too.

I like this. Kinda reminds me of Pinback and Pavement a bit.
incredible
this song hits different when you grew up with parent addicts. (im literally 12 wtf)
Amazing
Malkmus-esque, which is great, by the way!
Great!
i want to ask him which of his songs are his favorite and least favorite. i want to listen to them in the order he'd put them in.
The lights are fucking beautiful
Love
This is amazing live
belsgrl everything is better live just look at crumb, actually Chris Cohen isn’t always better but he’s still the best so oh well
I'm doing a project for English where we have to find the meaning behind a song as to why the writer wrote it. What could the story for this song be?
I think the story might go somth like this, red truck on the way, hold up, i might even eat that, as for those other two grizzles, let them wonder, no pube , hope it helps
@@juandedioslynch3604 It has been 6 years since my English project, I'll take this into great consideration thank you :)
I don't know why, but I'm getting Grandaddy vibes from this track, one of the best to have. :-)
GRANDADDY ARE SO GOOD!!!! I LOVE THEM
grnaddy this, grandaddy that, the only thing grand is ur right ball daddy, certified boy lover
1:02 Fantastic

wow. no mentioned Pavement. now i feel ([bad])
