This song reminds me of that feeling when your really happy or at peace but have this lingering feeling of nostalgia as if your already preparing yourself to miss the moment.
Nah, not for me... It reminds me of a lost opportunity, that comes back up in your life years later. And you just know you're going to take it this time.
This song feels kinda the opposite for me, it's like experiencing a very hard moment, and feeling a sort of nostalgia because you've sunken this low many many times before, and relapsing feels like returning to the one time in the earlier years of your life. Visiting your bruised younger self again, in a way.
old man here. i love this kind of music .it really makes you think about the good times. i remember being young. lots of friends . but drinking addiction ripped them from me one by one . been downhill since flipping the bird to my dad at eighteen and going 23rd infantry, two tours in Nam only to lose best friend to a tree in low visibility. got framed for arson and thrown in prison for seventeen years in Huntsville . tried to hang myself ended up paralyzed whole right side. my lovely beautiful wife went out in a house fire some years ago. she couldnt bear kids so we had eachother . she fed me .. now i'm eating from a straw. wrecking my truck last month was the straw broke the camels back. aside from fourth stage Copd and prostate cancer, got three compound fractures and broken ribs . nothing to drink but tear drops and doctor says I got six months to live. all i got to pay for it is a wooden nickel. hospital is worse than prison. at least there i get to see my friends and walk outside once in a while . your probably reading this in a warm bed with fancy earphones on. your the lucky ones. wish i had the youtube when i was your age. remember what you got, kids. enjoy the music before its forever gone. old man out.
i am currently crying after reading your comment. Thank you for this comment i will never take anything for granted and each time i listen to this song i will think of you old man ❤
old man everytime i i hear this song i think of u i sit down and just start crying to my mom because of your story u been thru so much and u deserve the best i will never take anything for granted anymore and if i do ill always thing of u❤️❤️
im 14 years old, im disabled, and im not supposed live past 24. i havent told anyone. my friends think im gonna be with them until we’re all old, we will. they just wont be able to see me. i have 10 more years, maybe less. i hope i can listen to this song as i go tbh.
this is my favorite youtube comment section ever i found it in like 2018 and i’ve checked it every so often it’s so sweet like a little community i love you guys
i actually met Alex G over a zoom call for an interview in a music class i was in because our instructor was friends with him; got to ask him some questions, cool dude.
so sorry to hear this. i’m glad you have music and i hope you have a good support system as well ❤ thinking of you even tho we’re strangers on the internet

Words cant describe how much alex g can make me sob, the music hits a core memory i didnt even know i had. Like every song just hits a nerve in my brain that causes a flow of emotion and nustolgia. It gives a sense of comfort and dread to come that i didnt evem know was possible, and in this odd sense of way i appretiate it. Just every song and note is absloutly perfect in every form.
I remember I did acid one night completely out of the blue for the first time and took an Uber to the middle of nowhere and just walked around listening to this on repeat on a foggy night. I worry Ill never be that happy again ever.
The second time I did acid I had my earbuds in and was listening to Slovakia space station with my back to the outside wall and I just looked up at the stars to see them rippling like I threw a rock in a pond it brought me so much peace to see the sky be so fluid :)

This song is really relatable. It conveys the feeling of changing who you are to fit in , trying to fix yourself so you don't get found out or stand out. People finding out and trying to guide you but you don't want to be guided
that’s yeah that’s very much how i relate to this song. i take it more about also having internal conflict saying he’s gonna bury them in their favorite hole i always took it as burying himself or his old self. And when he mentioned that he’s gonna “pretend for you” i always took it as pretending for his old self to be proud of him
I’m 17 with cystic fibrosis. Life’s been hard last couple of years for me with physical health and mental health. This song gives me warmth that I’d forgotten even existed. This song is so beautiful to its core.
jesus mate, i don't quite know the kinds of things that you're suffering from but what i do know is that you're not alone in any of this, things may not look great and they may take a while to get any better but just know that you always have someone out there in the world that's gonna be here for you, life may have dealt you quite an awful hand but that doesnt define the rest of your story, one bad start doesnt mean that the ending has to be bad as well, i hope things turn out better for you in the near future stranger, never give up on yourself and never give up on any hope that you have, better days are on the horizon but for now just focus on taking it slow and just survive, thats all i ask of you
The picture reminds me of times when I was still hanging out with my friends all the time. I feel that I've lost touch and it's my fault I'm an outsider no matter where I go. Nice song.
0:18 [Verse 1] 0:28 Gonna crack a rib when I get home I'm gonna bury you in my favorite hole I made a bloody mess in the kitchen sink I tried to fix myself but I didn't think [Pre-Chorus] 1:03 They said "We just want to talk with you" "We just want to walk you through" oh 1:21 [Chorus] 1:36 Oh, I don't want to see Me, I wanna be trapped in you Oh, I don't want to be Me but I'm gonna pretend for you, oh [Verse 2] 2:29 Let's paint our nails and keep it real 'Cause honey all I know is what I feel I'm still looking for a friend of a friend He said he'd hook me up, he told me what he had [Bridge] 3:03 They say "Leave your body, leave your mind Don't you know you're out of time?" [Verse 3] 3:20 In his room, in his bed You can't hear what he said Looks like dirt, tastes like trash Honey, I know you could float right past, oh [Chorus] 3:54 Oh, I don't want to see Me, I wanna be trapped in you Oh, I don't want to be Me but I'm gonna pretend for you, oh
When I get depressed and can’t get out of bed, the only feeling I have is writhing guilt and sadness that I can’t explain. This song somehow brings me to tears. I can release and ease some of the sadness in a healthy manner by just listening to this song. I can’t explain how much I love this song, it fixes a tiny bit of a massive problem that is fundamentally wrong with me.
This. Literally. When one of these phases hit I just listen to this song and comletly shut the outside world out. It's so peaceful and comforting bit also brings me to tears
Graduated from my dream school last year, and have been struggling to find a sustainable career ever since. I keep moving, from city to city, and I think my car's going to fail me real soon. Life's pretty shit lately.
Acoustic chords are E / Bm / A for pretty much the whole song, for the little riff on the E put your pinkie on first string 2rd fret, then move the whole shape up two frets, then back to E :') Sounds pretty decent even if it ain't perfect
Open D capo 2nd fret- 0------0--0--0 0--- 5------7--9--5 0--- 0------0--0--0 0--- 0------0--0--0 X2 0--- 5------7--9--5 2--- 0------0--0--0 2--- *repeat* i dont know how to write out tabs but here you go anyone who wants the real tabs
@@henryparks4482 Doesn't particularly matter, both will sound the same. However, I think it was Nick Drake (although I could be wrong) that said open tuned chords connect with the listener on a deeper level, because the listener will recognise the sounds as the same as what they are used to, but they will ultimately resonate in a way that seems unique. It's the same just done in a different way, and there's something beautiful about that
One of my fondest memories is slow dancing to this song with my person on the midnight of Valentine's on MDMA in my room. Just as 3:53 hit, we kissed. I've never felt so complete in my entire life and I'm happy to say I may never feel so complete again.
I know I'm not old. But the reality of getting older is really setting in, teenage hood, and even early 20's-hood was so recent, and now it's really... really fading away. It left like a draft, and not all at once, but this song really takes me back. Not necessarily to better times. But it takes me back. And somehow, that's special. Cheers to Sandy Alex G.
this spring break was just really great. i didn’t hang out with any friends or go on any vacation, i was just happy. i still am, it was just more content. i took in all my surroundings and was just in a really meditative state the whole time. this song was the soundtrack to that spring break. thank u alex g
this kind of thing makes me happy to read. i feel like there's so much pressure not to be alone, but taking a break from the world for a while to heal alone can be so beautiful - its not always sad like people make it out to be
This song is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I remember hearing it in a Berserk edit years ago and it stuck with me ever since. Listening it to now , I feel so content with my life. Have a loving partner, loving friends, my family who always smiles when I’m up and my cat who always gets excited every time I’m awake. Years ago, I felt like this song. Pretending to be happy but I wasn’t. This song really helped me realize how much I healed. And still am. Thanks Alex G.
I hope I can be in your position someday. Lately, life has been really rough for me and this song has been speaking to me a little too well. I’m currently on a break with the love of my life and, things are sort of unpredictable. I don’t know if or when we’ll be getting back together and it’s been tough without him. I miss him and I just want to be happy again.
Lyrics: Gonna crack a rib When I get home I'm gonna bury you In my favorite hole I made a bloody mess In the kitchen sink I tried to fix myself But I didn't think They said "We just want to Talk with you" "We just want to Walk you through" Oh, I don't want to see you, babe I wanna be trapped in you Oh, I don't want to be me But I'm gonna pretend for you, oh Let's paint our nails And keep it real 'Cause honey all I know Is what I feel I'm still looking for A friend of a friend He said he'd hook me up He told me what he had They said "Leave your body Leave your mind" "Don't you know You're out of time?" In his room In his bed You can't hear what he said Looks like dirt Tastes like trash Honey, I know you Could float right past Oh, I don't want to see you, babe I wanna be trapped in you Oh, I don't want to be me But I'm gonna pretend for you
i'm in such a rough patch right now. i feel so lonely all the time. i feel like my friends don't understand me. i just feel disconnected in general. i've had this song on repeat for the last couple days and i really like it, just comforting in a way and makes me feel a little less lonely. my 15th birthday is coming up and i don't want to be alone for it but oddly music feels like my closest friend right now edit: now 16 and life is good. give it time
I love the little drum break at 0:17! It sounds like a anxious heart beat and an alarm clock going off at the same time! "Don't you know you're out of time."
sometimes when i want to listen to this song i look at all the comments and see everyone’s experience they’ve had with it. to those people who are carrying through a really tough tone with this song, ur not alone
I got introduced through Proud and Rocket, I feel in love with House of Sugar, and now discovering his back catalog is like ripping my childhood back open and eating the insides... In the best way that is.
One of the most beautifully heart breaking songs I've heard in a while,, and that third person POV in 'he looks like dirt, tastes like trash' really hit. but imagine loving someone so wholly you can only see yourself living/ existing in their skin. wow.
Me and the guys listened to this after taking mushrooms and immediately when the first guitar solo started the trip hit us and honestly this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
sometimes at night i like to sneak my phone up into my room (im not allowed to use it past 8) and listen to this song and stare at the ceiling. good times im glad to be alive
I just listened to this for the first time. But as a guy that almost never cries, even more rarely over a tear, I just started bawling. This song, Alex G as a whole, they just hold a special place in my heart.
Alex G is the emotional support I never got from my parents whenever I needed them most. This song is what I feel when I tell my parents about my social problems and their solution is to blame my problems on me.
@@alisya9117 I am getting on medication for my disorder finally and I’ve been in therapy for a while so I think a little better, thanks so much for asking :)
I played this song on my phone on one of the last days I was homeless, doing drugs, hanging out with the other homeless drug addicts. Really set the mood. Part of me really misses the street.
I'm about to be homeless again soon and this is a mood. It's gonna suck but I'm sort of looking forward to it somehow. At the very least I won't be so alone anymore. Our society is really fucked up.
same i’m back a little over a year since i found this song and it’s gotten me through sm and i’ve grown a bunch since i found his unreleased stuff. i’m sad it’s trending but he deserves recognition
Moving away from my family and dogs and listening to songs about people in so much pain is "helping". I know there's good times left. And a whole world yet to be experienced.
I have been having a really difficult time lately, but this song and the experiences shared in the comments really brought things into perspective, thanks everyone!!
this song understands me and if you connect to this song I understand u and I love you and wish u were my friend edit: we’re all going to his concert after covids over
I don’t know how this song makes me feel Sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I feel content, sometimes I don’t know I’m just in this state of experiencing all these emotions in one song.
For those wondering who's in the photo, it's Trophy Dad, a local band of UW Madison college kids, that opened for Alex back in like 2017 in Madison. Tbt
seeing this video at 2.9 million views is definitely a shock, haha. gone are the days of alex g being the artist i could put everyone onto. im so proud of the boy.
My best friend killed himself last month and I’m still recovering. Been listening to Alex G for years but I just found this song 3 days ago, and every single time I hear it I literally have a mental breakdown, because it reminds me of his energy, the lyrics remind me of his death, and his music taste is like this. Thank you Alex G. I sometimes feel like you’re all I have left of him. I owe you so much.
currently listening to this while on my break for work. i’m about to have my first kid & i just put my cat up for sale. i’m realizing my life will never be the same. i want to cry so bad but i gotta be a strong dad for my child to come. i have no support from my side of the family as for i escaped abuse. to be honest i have no clue how this is all going to play out but i have a plan. i just hope i can be better than my parents, im going to do my damn best to be better than them. my life just moved really fast, from highschool to the USMC 2/1 infantry & now back home & i’m scared, more scared than i’ve ever been in my life. this comment section is the only place that feels safe to me.
life comes at you fast and you will look back to this moment with your child raised and your family living happily and you will regret that you were so anxious about the future you got this man
You got this man! The fear and anxiousness will come and go. But eventually after your child is born you’ll look back and wonder why you were so nervous.
I remember listening to this during a point in time where i was constantly getting bullied by my own friend. Every time I hear it I remember all if those memories and its a sad but a wonderful feeling knowing they aren't in my life anymore.
found this a little under year ago now and i remember driving around with a friend while listening to this song. it was real early like 5 am and it was cold asf out but its still a vivid memory in my head im glad this song exists i gotta learn this
It's been a long time since any song has given me that feeling of nostalgia, of sadness for the moments that will not return and the rapid passage of time, but thanks to this song I felt like that again, I don't know whether to thank Alex or not because these songs They make you feel sad, but at the same time there is something beautiful about them, something romantic. thanks Alex
This song to me feels like coming home to a older sibling or parent who had a rough day and drank till they passed out. This song feels like walking around in silence cleaning up the after mess. Like grabbing the spare blanket and draping it over them, giving them a goodnight kiss on the head, and going to bed a little colder.
I feel like shit I haven’t seen my freinds in a months. This song is the most heart shaking song that fills me with joy and it never stops to the point where I cry
this song reminds me so much of my childhood, im still a teenager but i miss my childhood years so much, i was so much happier back then and i wish i could go back more than anything
This song got me through a heartbreak, it’s unfortunate it’s the only thing I think about when I listen to this song, I wish I could listen to it without any bad memories
I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song.This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. is moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined african tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical african war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 african tribes/10 african tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.
This is one of the greatest songs that I’ve ever listened to. What an incredible journey, from the guitar to the vocals to the overall feel of the song. Genuinely one of the greatest songs that I have ever listened to.

[Verse 1] 0:28
Gonna crack a rib when I get home
I'm gonna bury you in my favorite hole
I made a bloody mess in the kitchen sink
I tried to fix myself but I didn't think
[Pre-Chorus] 1:03
They said "We just want to talk with you"
"We just want to walk you through" oh
1:21
[Chorus] 1:36
Oh, I don't want to see
Me, I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be
Me but I'm gonna pretend for you, oh
[Verse 2] 2:29
Let's paint our nails and keep it real
'Cause honey all I know is what I feel
I'm still looking for a friend of a friend
He said he'd hook me up, he told me what he had
[Bridge] 3:03
They say "Leave your body, leave your mind
Don't you know you're out of time?"
[Verse 3] 3:20
In his room, in his bed
You can't hear what he said
Looks like dirt, tastes like trash
Honey, I know you could float right past, oh
[Chorus] 3:54
Oh, I don't want to see
Me, I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be
Me but I'm gonna pretend for you, oh

It's rare to find a comment section like this. It's reassuring, in a way.
When I get depressed and can’t get out of bed, the only feeling I have is writhing guilt and sadness that I can’t explain. This song somehow brings me to tears. I can release and ease some of the sadness in a healthy manner by just listening to this song. I can’t explain how much I love this song, it fixes a tiny bit of a massive problem that is fundamentally wrong with me.
I am here if you wanna talk
This. Literally. When one of these phases hit I just listen to this song and comletly shut the outside world out. It's so peaceful and comforting bit also brings me to tears
That is the feeling of being depressed but feeling guilty about it because you know someone has got it worse than you
It’s been a while, but I hope you’re doing better man. I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I tell you that you matter.
I feel so out of touch with everyone. these past few months have been rough. this song resonates so well with how i feel. such a good song
It’s alright man
for real.

Got accepted to my dream school, moved to a different city and life’s really nice lately.
I'm so happy for you
Why does this comment feel so perfect for the song. It’s like a perfect match. Happy for you
Stay there, keep doing what you love, never adjust for other people’s expectations (my mistake) just do what your heart wants to do
Graduated from my dream school last year, and have been struggling to find a sustainable career ever since.
I keep moving, from city to city, and I think my car's going to fail me real soon. Life's pretty shit lately.
It’s been two years, and way too many days, and I still hope life’s been really nice to you.
this song feels like summer riding bikes until 12 with your friends and sneaking out with someone your not allowed to see
Most real comment I have ever seen
Accurate
Acoustic chords are E / Bm / A for pretty much the whole song, for the little riff on the E put your pinkie on first string 2rd fret, then move the whole shape up two frets, then back to E :') Sounds pretty decent even if it ain't perfect
Open D capo 2nd fret-
0------0--0--0 0---
5------7--9--5 0---
0------0--0--0 0---
0------0--0--0 X2 0---
5------7--9--5 2---
0------0--0--0 2--- *repeat* i dont know how to write out tabs but here you go anyone who wants the real tabs
I'm inspired. I'm gonna definitely learn to play this
@@adamhaney6686 Why not just open E?
@@henryparks4482 Doesn't particularly matter, both will sound the same. However, I think it was Nick Drake (although I could be wrong) that said open tuned chords connect with the listener on a deeper level, because the listener will recognise the sounds as the same as what they are used to, but they will ultimately resonate in a way that seems unique. It's the same just done in a different way, and there's something beautiful about that
sorry man...but didnt ask
One of my fondest memories is slow dancing to this song with my person on the midnight of Valentine's on MDMA in my room. Just as 3:53 hit, we kissed. I've never felt so complete in my entire life and I'm happy to say I may never feel so complete again.
sounds like a dream, happy u experienced that
damn what a beautiful experience
ah :’)
im crying holy

I know I'm not old. But the reality of getting older is really setting in, teenage hood, and even early 20's-hood was so recent, and now it's really... really fading away.
It left like a draft, and not all at once, but this song really takes me back. Not necessarily to better times. But it takes me back. And somehow, that's special.
Cheers to Sandy Alex G.
You have no idea how fast it goes by…
you inspired me to be more conscious of my 20’s as of now :)
this spring break was just really great. i didn’t hang out with any friends or go on any vacation, i was just happy. i still am, it was just more content. i took in all my surroundings and was just in a really meditative state the whole time. this song was the soundtrack to that spring break. thank u alex g
literally, doing nothing is the best
my spring break was pretty similar! i wish i could have another week like that soon, i’m tired of rushing around all the time lately.
how are you doing it’s been a couple months now
this kind of thing makes me happy to read. i feel like there's so much pressure not to be alone, but taking a break from the world for a while to heal alone can be so beautiful - its not always sad like people make it out to be
Happiness comes from within.
This song is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I remember hearing it in a Berserk edit years ago and it stuck with me ever since. Listening it to now , I feel so content with my life. Have a loving partner, loving friends, my family who always smiles when I’m up and my cat who always gets excited every time I’m awake. Years ago, I felt like this song. Pretending to be happy but I wasn’t. This song really helped me realize how much I healed. And still am. Thanks Alex G.
I hope I can be in your position someday. Lately, life has been really rough for me and this song has been speaking to me a little too well. I’m currently on a break with the love of my life and, things are sort of unpredictable. I don’t know if or when we’ll be getting back together and it’s been tough without him. I miss him and I just want to be happy again.

This is such a nice comment. I don’t have a loving partner but this song really made me appreciate the good things in my life for sure
ive never listened to and connected with an artist like i have with alex g. he’s amazing.
the album art looks so familiar and nostalgic. It looks and feels like friends i never had back from a time i never lived. love it

Lyrics:
Gonna crack a rib
When I get home
I'm gonna bury you
In my favorite hole
I made a bloody mess
In the kitchen sink
I tried to fix myself
But I didn't think
They said
"We just want to
Talk with you"
"We just want to
Walk you through"
Oh, I don't want to see you, babe
I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be me
But I'm gonna pretend for you, oh
Let's paint our nails
And keep it real
'Cause honey all I know
Is what I feel
I'm still looking for
A friend of a friend
He said he'd hook me up
He told me what he had
They said
"Leave your body
Leave your mind"
"Don't you know
You're out of time?"
In his room
In his bed
You can't hear what he said
Looks like dirt
Tastes like trash
Honey, I know you
Could float right past
Oh, I don't want to see you, babe
I wanna be trapped in you
Oh, I don't want to be me
But I'm gonna pretend for you
Nic
Thanks
Thanks I was looking for sombody to make one of these 😊
…this is in the fucking description how did yall not see it?????
i'm in such a rough patch right now. i feel so lonely all the time. i feel like my friends don't understand me. i just feel disconnected in general. i've had this song on repeat for the last couple days and i really like it, just comforting in a way and makes me feel a little less lonely. my 15th birthday is coming up and i don't want to be alone for it but oddly music feels like my closest friend right now
edit: now 16 and life is good. give it time
i feel you so much. i hope you have the best birthday ever and hopefully you can make some better friends. things will get better.
everything gets better with time, let it ride and take pride in yourself. things will turn for the better.
Happy birthday I know I’m some guy on the internet but I’m here for you :)

I love the little drum break at 0:17! It sounds like a anxious heart beat and an alarm clock going off at the same time! "Don't you know you're out of time."

One of the most beautifully heart breaking songs I've heard in a while,, and that third person POV in 'he looks like dirt, tastes like trash' really hit. but imagine loving someone so wholly you can only see yourself living/ existing in their skin. wow.

Alex G is the emotional support I never got from my parents whenever I needed them most. This song is what I feel when I tell my parents about my social problems and their solution is to blame my problems on me.

Hey i hope youre doing better now:]
I played this song on my phone on one of the last days I was homeless, doing drugs, hanging out with the other homeless drug addicts. Really set the mood.
Part of me really misses the street.
I'm about to be homeless again soon and this is a mood. It's gonna suck but I'm sort of looking forward to it somehow. At the very least I won't be so alone anymore. Our society is really fucked up.
“At least I won’t be so alone anymore”. So fucked
This song has got me through so much; every time I come back here I reflect on how much I’ve grown.
That's a good way of putting it.
same i’m back a little over a year since i found this song and it’s gotten me through sm and i’ve grown a bunch since i found his unreleased stuff. i’m sad it’s trending but he deserves recognition
Moving away from my family and dogs and listening to songs about people in so much pain is "helping". I know there's good times left. And a whole world yet to be experienced.
This was nice to read hope ur ok
This is one of a few songs I could either smile or cry while listening
This song feels exactly like that numb feeling thar lingers in ur stomach when you know somethings gonna go wrong
or like the feeling after you get home from hanging out with your friends
Being with my grandmother in the clinic, talking about things before she going to sleep
This song means a lot to me also❤️
Grandmas are the best. I don't know how tight you were to yours, but mine passed last year as well. We will be okay.
The fact that your grandma knew who Elliot smith is automatically makes her awesome
wow, this is beautiful.
ouch my heart fuckin hurts omg dont ruin it for the rest of us
Every time i listen to this song and i look at the comments feeling amazed by the pureness of people listening to this song
this song feels like it’s 2 minutes it’s so good
i’ve been listening to it for a long time n just now i noticed that it's 6 minutes long
I have been having a really difficult time lately, but this song and the experiences shared in the comments really brought things into perspective, thanks everyone!!
By the looks of the comments everyone listens to this song a stepping stone to getting better. And I hope it happens the same with me too.
it will get better i promise!!! i realized thats what life is actually about that its always ups and downs and you just have to enjoy it i think🤔🤔🤔🤔
Driving through the mountains and listening to this gem is an amazing feeling. 🙂

My best friend killed himself last month and I’m still recovering. Been listening to Alex G for years but I just found this song 3 days ago, and every single time I hear it I literally have a mental breakdown, because it reminds me of his energy, the lyrics remind me of his death, and his music taste is like this.
Thank you Alex G. I sometimes feel like you’re all I have left of him. I owe you so much.
currently listening to this while on my break for work. i’m about to have my first kid & i just put my cat up for sale. i’m realizing my life will never be the same. i want to cry so bad but i gotta be a strong dad for my child to come. i have no support from my side of the family as for i escaped abuse. to be honest i have no clue how this is all going to play out but i have a plan. i just hope i can be better than my parents, im going to do my damn best to be better than them. my life just moved really fast, from highschool to the USMC 2/1 infantry & now back home & i’m scared, more scared than i’ve ever been in my life. this comment section is the only place that feels safe to me.
life comes at you fast and you will look back to this moment with your child raised and your family living happily and you will regret that you were so anxious about the future you got this man
You got this man! The fear and anxiousness will come and go. But eventually after your child is born you’ll look back and wonder why you were so nervous.
you will be an amazing father I believe in you

It's been a long time since any song has given me that feeling of nostalgia, of sadness for the moments that will not return and the rapid passage of time, but thanks to this song I felt like that again, I don't know whether to thank Alex or not because these songs They make you feel sad, but at the same time there is something beautiful about them, something romantic. thanks Alex
This song to me feels like coming home to a older sibling or parent who had a rough day and drank till they passed out. This song feels like walking around in silence cleaning up the after mess. Like grabbing the spare blanket and draping it over them, giving them a goodnight kiss on the head, and going to bed a little colder.
you good man

I've been listening to this song for three hours non stop, it sent me back to the times I was emo. Very nostalgic!
I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song.This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. is moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined african tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical african war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 african tribes/10 african tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.
This is one of the greatest songs that I’ve ever listened to. What an incredible journey, from the guitar to the vocals to the overall feel of the song. Genuinely one of the greatest songs that I have ever listened to.
