    Gregg is one of the gems in the music industry who travels under the radar. It's definitely time for the new New Radicals!

    As a songwriter, I have so much respect for Gregg Alexander. He's written a lot of brilliant songs. This one genuinely gives me goosebumps. Just superb!

    A true artist. No ego at all. That´s the kind of person that we hit it off on the spot.

    Gregg Alexander doesn't know it , but he indirectly saved my life in 1999 when i first heard the song "You Get What You Give" on the radio while i was driving,.it turned me around ...life's a trip. :)

      A música "We get what We give" também tem mudado a minha vida. Difícil explicar, mas quando a ouvi, eu senti que alguma coisa tinha que mudar e o quanto eu estava jogando fora o dom da vida.
      Sorry for rely it in Portuguese, I'm still learning English.

    Gregg Alexander is an underrated musician. Maybe you've Been Brainwashed is a classic 90's album.

    Greg is genuinely an insane talent. Maybe you’ve been brainwashed is still my favourite album to this day. I have always been desperate for him to come back and do some
    Music up until recently. I watched loads of stuff about his thoughts on the industry, and being a front man touring effectively blocked him from writing everyday and creating amazing work. He said he had been a musician for 12 years, and “you get what you give” was just a snapshot of his life. I suppose I’d rather he wrote all the time, lived a happy life, and appreciate what we got back in the 90s. Can’t imagine him wanting to try and sell millions of records for some big record company..... take it easy Greg... you are... the best.

    Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisboise are proof that lightning can and does strike more than once or twice. Their compositions seem to strike right at the heart of the audience. Artists should thank whatever gods or fates allow them to perform a track like this one.

    Was blown away when I learned that Gregg Alexander wrote Lost Stars from Begin Again. Fell in love with that movie. Too bad they didn't get the Oscar for Best Original Song, although it would have been really cool if Gregg A performed the song onstage then instead of Adam L.
    Gregg is such an underrated artist.

    I don't get it... Everything he touches becomes magic no matter how well produced a song is or not. Right now I'm trying to get off SSRI and took my last pill about a month ago. I haven't felt anything in 3 years. I used to cover this and other gregg-songs before I started the medication. I still have a hard time to feel anything. But I still think Gregg songs will be the best medication to get my emotions back. If this won't work, nothing will. Greggs my biggest "producer-crush" I've ever had haha. :p

    Great song. And I love Brainwashed. Bought it when it came out. I was 11 and really got a lot out of it. Ended up recording professionally as a result of such inspirations. All that being said, Greg should have warmed up. Of course it doesn't help when you've got a crowd that won't stfu. Too bad. A great many people out there would've been psyched to see this.

    Lots of people are Philistines. Their world starts and finishes with themselves. The older I've got (I'm sixty thus year), this creeping narcissism now shapes the world. For a musician these days, unless you're at the top end of your success, you're better off just busking on the street than playing these kind of functions or parties. Very few people are interested in connecting anymore. Very few people are able to listen anymore and even fewer are able to concentrate. We are looking at the extinction of a great many people over this decade simply because they've lost the ability to be curious, to stop talking and listen. Very sad.
