OHNOIMLATEFORSCHOOL PRESENTS Alex G "Boy" 02.01.14 shot/edit by: roman a. roman-a.com Alex G is a songwriter from Philadelphia. Listen: sandy.bandcamp....
I remember listening to this song a year or so ago while walking to school. It was a cold, misty morning. For some reason I was holding back tears. I am not the boy you knew.
Literally bought tickets to his Toronto show even tho I’ve only listened to like 3 songs by him just because it felt like the right thing to do being an avid Elliott smith fan. I feel like Alex is the next best thing to him and almost feels the same as the feeling I got listening to Elliott the first time 🥹🥹🫠 there are very few musicians and ppl I know that fit into this category of uniqueness and I’m so happy to witness this other worldly talent omg ok bye
though they definitely have very different sounds imo, i totally get what you mean, i think there’s a special talent they both share that’s pretty rare
Lyrics : Stray dog is walkin' down the street Next to another dog They're eating mud and Starting to smell me Two babies Dangerous and free When I got home I told my baby The story She said to me "I think you're funny, you saw What you wanted to see" And I said "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy you knew" "I am not the boy" Feel like a million eyes on me Feel like a cannon ball I see A tree, it loses all its leaves And you are dead to me You watch someone you know Grow into static company And now you see Do you wish you were?
Dude I couldn’t find the actual tabs from this video cus I LOVE IT SO MUCH so I got the chords but can’t seem to make out the 2nd verse’s last 2 chords. wat r they??? also I might tab the chords so people can play it
dog is walkin down the street next to another dog they’re eating mud and starting to smell me two babies dangerous and free when i got home i told my baby the story she said to me “i think you’re funny, you saw what you wanted to see” and i said “i am not the boy you knew” feel like a million eyes on me feel like a cannon ball i see a tree it loses all its leaves and you are dead to me you watch someone you know turn into static company and now you see do you wish you were “i am not the boy you knew”
not gonna lie, when I very first discovered alex g I did sum extensive research on the google to see whether or not the "g" stood for grohl as in he looks like dave grohls sexy younger brother n now I'm just like lmao NO way son
I really like how a lot of Alex's songs are about dogs
alex g song starter kit:
the devil/satan/666, I'm on the floor, I'm sick, I love this dog
Lucien Cron I'm a huggee sandy fan but I'm fucking rolling on the floor laughing at this lmao
@@luciencron6655 you forgot the salt
Theres a quote in genius abt him liking how innocent dogs are
huh thinking about it theres quite a few album covers of his that have dogs on them (albeit some are unreleased do idk about the credibility of those)
i get heart palpitations hearing him preform as if i haven’t listened to the song 200 times
I come back everyday to this video and look for this comment for a litttle chuckle
@@aireecka13 LMAO i love this
He's so beautiful holy fuck
What a brilliant songwriter
I remember listening to this song a year or so ago while walking to school. It was a cold, misty morning. For some reason I was holding back tears. I am not the boy you knew.
Amazing chord progressions
the chord changes are delightful
THEY DONT KNOW I LOVE THIS SONG MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF
WE LOVE ALEX G

Lyrics :
Stray dog is walkin' down the street
Next to another dog
They're eating mud and
Starting to smell me
Two babies
Dangerous and free
When I got home I told my baby
The story
She said to me
"I think you're funny, you saw
What you wanted to see"
And I said
"I am not the boy you knew"
"I am not the boy you knew"
"I am not the boy you knew"
"I am not the boy"
Feel like a million eyes on me
Feel like a cannon ball I see
A tree, it loses all its leaves
And you are dead to me
You watch someone you know
Grow into static company
And now you see
Do you wish you were?
Still loving this one

1:54 how come when he looked up i started crying ?
Alex you remind me of a modern day J Mascis and it's the best thing that could ever happen... get ready 2020
beautiful baby
I miss this clean face
He is not the boy we knew 🥺
what do you mean?
@@senylalalahe is getting old, he grew a beard for example and his hair looks different too, idk how to explain, it's not about the haircut
sounds creepy but so envious of his hands. must be easier :(
1:08 this part gets me every mf time
does anyone know the tuning? sounds like standard
yeah standard
standard
ah yes the best beginner song to learn
definitely not some of these chords would be diabolical to learn as a beginner
i am not the boy you knew
Bro please drop some tabsssss
what guitar is this?
some fender but i’m not sure the exact specifics
dog is walkin down the street
next to another dog
they’re eating mud and
starting to smell me
two babies
dangerous and free
when i got home i told my baby
the story
she said to me
“i think you’re funny, you saw
what you wanted to see”
and i said
“i am not the boy you knew”
feel like a million eyes on me
feel like a cannon ball i see
a tree it loses all its leaves
and you are dead to me
you watch someone you know
turn into static company
and now you see
do you wish you were
“i am not the boy you knew”
the guitar part of the chorus sounds eerily like the ballad of big nothing by Elliot Smith
Kurt Shadow i think it’s just the major to minor bit
i kin this song
10/10 song ommmmmmmmmmm
legend
I LOVE U
please tell me he does not look like a brown haired version of Kurt Cobain while he was playing unplugged. Alex G is one special musician.
Dave grohl*
not gonna lie, when I very first discovered alex g I did sum extensive research on the google to see whether or not the "g" stood for grohl as in he looks like dave grohls sexy younger brother n now I'm just like lmao NO way son
Like.. you did one Google search to find out his last name haha?
Wow. Incredible
Love the hair too
I love this!
What are the second and third chords of the verse??? I can’t tell from this video welp
Just slide down a couple of frets then it goes down to an e chord
Its f#m then f
i think its f#m and dmaj7
Alright 2:30

Might be late, but it's a Fender CD60CE they're relatively inexpensive and great guitars :>
