    There's something about the people who listen to Alex G, especially those who listen to the unreleased stuff, there's something so authentic about you guys. It makes me really happy. I love you all.

      i want to hug everyone who listens to the unreleased songs, i don’t just mean a few of them because they’re popular either, i mean people who really listens to them. because i know what is represented in a lot of his unreleased songs, and people who listen to them truly need a big hug and lots of love.

    I had an amazing connection with this girl. It was definitely, and still is, the strongest I’ve ever felt about somebody. She moved away, but made me a mixtape before she did. This was the first song on it, and recently i’ve been listening to this on repeat, thinking about her in that way where the combined feelings of happiness at my memories and sadness of her being gone mix together into a sort of nostalgic melancholy. I miss her so much.

    I keep playing this song. All I ever do is wake up then sleep trough the day, noone bothers to talk or reach out, so I just sleep again. This song is really on repeat the few times I'm awake and it makes me feel hopeful someone or some people will come my way. "Wishfull thinking"

      you'll figure it out man, don't worry, I'm in a similar boat. lots of folks will surround themselves with people that will destroy their soul or keep it complacent. instrospection lends itself into sincerity and it can easily erode irony if you let it. life is not so black and white as some people make it seem. I stopped talking to everyone last year, except one person, and it's been pretty hard but for some reason I keep on trucking. some people try to reach out but only once. keep those who truly love you close, once you find them. I'm super fucking drink right now, but I'm not gonna delete this comment once I'm not, cuz I feel like it's got some value haha. sending love mate ♥️♥️

    In one of the few videos I have of my best friend this song is playing in the background, I just had an Alex G playlist on or something while I was baking cookies for her.
    She's dead now, but whenever I hear this song I can't help but think about that night when we stayed up too late and made those cookies. I think she enjoyed them.
