It's because hes playing fingerstyle acoustic thump plucks the bass strings 3 bottom fingers pluck the high end strings and hes using his first finger to slap the string to make that percussive sound.
He has enough music to make a minimum of three albums right now and since he writes new music every day, there will be unlimited albums. Sometimes, he just posts new music on Instagram, because he couldn't sleep that night. He's constantly "making" new music. Sometimes he soundtracks movies or animes, sometimes he writes R&B, Jazz, Rap, Country, Folk, and then sometimes he fuses them all together and makes another genre altogether, Alejandro Genre. Oh, and then he'll show us how he creates the background music, then he'll add the melody and then layer the vocals. Other times, he'll just play something inspired by Chopin. He's the most awesome musician I've ever seen or heard. His Instagram page is @scarypoolparty. See you there.
I quit smoking everything cold turkey, and the withdrawls were terrible, you're music is the only thing that would calm my anxiety and help me find some peace of mind. Thank you so much for helping me get through the rough times, and better myself. You're amazing.
God he plays as though that guitar was an extension of his soul. Simply a tool to tell his stories buried deep within his core. This. Is Pure. Truth. 😍❤️ Love love love
That's what real musicians do. They let the music flow through their instruments. Crazy how skilled he is and his voice is such a crazy good instrument on its own.
@@1zDiegoz1 yes he does. artists like this have trouble spreading their music. He has been doing it for 4 years now and has a youtube channel..but none of us have heard of him until now
He is okay he's not all that good I don't think anybody is good so far in American Idol no one has really reached out there I wish him luck but he's not that good that's just my opinion if people don't like it that's too bad for them I'm just telling you my opinion I don't care what anyone else thinks he is okay I have heard a lot better on the X Factor and they did not make it
@@1zDiegoz1So true he really should just put out his you tube portfolio to record companies and state I want to record it my way with NO interference! If he wins Idol he will be interfered with!
Ross Rasmussen honestly, most money made through music these days is with live performances. Record companies take a large chunk of an artists profits. He needs a strong marketing push to get his name out there and a team that can help foster his creativity.
I cant wait. This guy is jaw droppingly good. I've heard 4 songs that all sound like chart toppers. His songwriting is as good if not better than ed Sheeran and his voice is much more enjoyable. Sign me up for every album.
Hayden Nelson - I'm a guitar player myself also. And besides being very very impressed I just can't figure out where he's getting that "slap" sound from. Can you help me out?? He's obviously not palm muting/slapping!! How's is he doing it?
If this becomes a lost gift like others I'm sorry for us. Music producers here's a songwriter, singer and a beast on the guitar and piano. Act now!! Take my money, I'm waiting on an album.
I am right there with you. I don't bother with the autotune/manufactured acts. I like singers who can actually sing, and who cares what they look like. (This guy is handsome, but I don't really care.) I don't mind autotune when used as an effect sometimes, but damn, some so-called singers now are dreadful. This man is an actual musician, lyricist and composer as well - an artist. Can't wait for that album. Can't listen to him enough.
there's something about this kids music that just touches your soul and brings tears to my eyes. I can't help it, with every song I hear I'm crying tears of some weird emotion that I can't control!!
I've listened to this SO many times - to the point of knowing when to expect the passing car and the barking dog. His music is just so beautiful. It just brings me joy.
Some people says he's just an "one trick pony" because his music sounds all the same and does same cords on the guitar and blah blah... Man! Yes, he does, yes, you listen at his songs and you will know is him and most of them have same signature... HIS SIGNATURE! That's fucking called "style", identity, HIS SOUND! If that's an "one trick pony", give me the same trick over and over "homie"... We are ready for your circus!
Aura Estella totally agree with u!!the haters calling him a one trick pony need to realize that he really did manage to sing songs from all these different genres like Coldplay (alternative) justin bieber (pop) and post Malone (???) all while putting his own twist, using his own written music, and pulling out his piano and guitar!!!! not to mention that some of these contestants are trained music teachers and stuff all while he’s self taught. someone get this guy a label lol
People who say it sounds the same have got no clue as to how much musicality , harmony and rhythm Alejandro plays so effortlessly. All considering 3-4 years into music and cleaning dishes to make ends meet for god sake. Also these people who talk about "one trick pony" have they even heard the lyrics he writes and the way weaves a story ..honestly . All originals . Just on this song one should look how the word is poisoning is sang. Alejandro Aranda is a pure genius and a legend in the making with humble beginnings. Just on the other side of todays reality there is a winner no matter what "some people" say. I guess some people always exist.
Pretty shitty signature when there are hundreds of bands that play guitar parts that sound a lot like this. It's a style called midwest emo and Mathrock. Check out bands like Jank, American Football, Algernon Cadwallader, if you like this. Not dissing his skills, he is definitely skilled no doubt. But there are many others like him but the music they play wouldn't get accepted in outlets like American Idol

One trick pony? --Far from it. All of the musicians that jam with me or that I have spoken with recognize the genius. I get brain freeze just watching him shreddin on the keyboard while the vocals are flawless. Doing both at the same time is on another level, tight as hell and spot on. A.I may have brought him into the world, cats out of the bag now the tempo couldn't have been more perfect. I just hope he survives the industry intact. I don't know if I could survive jamming with him LOL! I would give it one hell of a shot! Seriously this guy is a legend and he is just getting started. Much respect
He truly is a musical genius, but he shared the secret to it all in his AI audition: he is hardworking. You can tell that he has put a LOT of time and hard work into honing his craft. That kind of discipline combined with that level of talent creates the virtuoso we all came to this channel to see & hear. Bravo, maestro!
Karen Brown He said in his interview thing that he’s only been playing for a few years. That’s not a result of hard work. That’s the kind of talent you’re just born with.
As well as stating that he started playing 4 years ago, he also described himself as hardworking. And as I said in my comment above, *in addition to* his high level of natural talent, it is obvious that he has spent alot of time working on his music, which he already affirmed he has. I was complimenting him on both his talent AND his diligence. I'm sorry if you don't think he works hard, or that his hard work doesn't make a difference, but I respectfully disagree.
@@Rezzinate812 It's both. If you're born with it, but don't work on it, your talent just sits there inside you. He did work hard, you can hear it in the music.
@@kareninalabama He is a hard worker and he has an immense amount of God-given talent, but he doesn't think he's special at all, but we all know he is.

@@8778yeh He already is big all over the world. He regularly gets comments from New Zealand, South Africa, The Philippines, Brazil, Moscow, The United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Australia, and so many more countries. He will easily sell out a world tour.
I saw his American idol performance then found his RUclips of the same song. I was worried that might be his only good song. But every one of the songs I've found is excellent. He clearly should be successful regardless of American idol outcome.
A rough cut of the song he played on the piano during his audition is on IG now. I think it was from when he was writing it. Of course, he said he messed up notes and he apologized, but it sounded great to me. Clearly, he finished it because he played it on AI. Maybe he'll put that on Spotify soon.
******Huge Announcement****** Alejandro aka Scarypoolparty is releasing a 21 song double album on August 27th. Eleven songs will be with an orchestra. It’s going to be amazing! “POISON” will be released 8/13!!! So excited as it’s one of my all time favorites! Hope you’ve subscribed to his RUclips channel. I’ve seen him 4 times live and will see him too more times during his Fall Tour with X Ambassadorsz
Aaaand... Here I am again. Stuck on this song. Lol. Imagine when you start touring?? Omg. It's going to be amazing. Make sure you don't forget Texas! 😜😄

Here i am again lost in vodka and good music , my god i never heard this dude before but im glad i found your music alejandro thank you and RUclips for making my lonely nights a little better
Oscar, I know it's been a month, but I hope in that month you've discovered more of his enchanting music. Seriously, he has so much music that it will take you another month to listen to it all. He has about 20-30 songs here on YT, on Instagram @scarypoolparty he has numerous clips and he adds to them 2-3 times/week even while he is on American Idol. Also, SoundCloud has 10 songs, Spotify has 3 songs available for streaming, including his Audition guitar song, "Out Loud" which has been streamed over 1MM times. He has 3 songs on Apple Play, as well.
So glad I'm not the only one. All this past week, I have been obsessing over this music that I can't figure out. It makes me feel some type of way. My family thinks I've lost my mind...and to think that week before last, I was enamored with Cardi B. Not that there is anything wrong with her, I love her story, but this is mind-blowing crazy, is-he-from-another-planet-that's-not-even-in-our-Universe, how-the-heck-did-he-do-that, touched by the hand of God, EF-5 Tornado, Cat 5 Hurricane in my head kind of musician...whew!
Where has he been all this time, you ask? he's been working his ass off to bend his mere human body to his musical will. Look at his hands for god's sake, I don't think an instrument able to fully express his musical genius has been invented yet.
The guitar playing 🔥🔥🔥is amazing. The lyrics hit me the first time I heard this song in 2019. I am here in 2023 waiting patiently to see this video reach 1 million. We are so close. Scarypoolparty thank you for making meaningful music. ☮️🙏😊 Be happy And patient. The world will find your music. 😊
Stevie Nicks predicts your future: From my journal: March 6th, 2019 Last night on American Idol ~ (day off) I was just ready to push “Guide” for the next hour and on walked this quiet soft spoken guy and something about him ~ said “Don’t change the channel.” When he started to play the first chords ~ I started to cry~ I cried all through his guitar song and all through his piano song. My prophecy~ He will play and sing across the great stages of the world. He will play with 60 piece orchestras and he will play alone. I felt, as did the judges , that I was suspended in some sort of magical grace that was just simply overwhelming. My tears did not stop until he stopped. So, Alejandro, let me welcome you to the grand stage that will be your home for the rest of your extraordinary life~ Love always, Stevie Nicks
What people don't realize is that there are thousands upon thousands of people who work hard and have the talent and only a fraction of them ever reach their potential. God gave him the talent and Alejandro stepped out on faith and allowed God to order his steps. You thanked the right person.
Lyrics : Face to face You know that I've been watching you To cause this pain out loud within the truth So tell me, tell me, tell me lover If I'm the one you need Oh yeah it's you Your love is so poisoning Oh yes, your love is so poisoning So I'll take apart the pieces that we left Between the sheets that we shared Oh yes your love is so, so poisoning So poisoning Face to face You know that I've been needing you To cause this pain out loud within the truth So tell me, tell me, tell me lover If I'm the one you need So yes, your love is so poisoning Oh yes, your love is so, so poisoning So I'll take apart the pieces that we left Between the sheets that we shared So yes, your love is so poisoning Oh, so poisoning (Correct me if you think I have anything wrong!)
You're so dope. I've never seen anyone like you. You are my new favorite person to hear and to watch. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. We need you.
Look up math rock/midwest emo if you want to hear more stuff like this. For instance, another guy who's really good is Sleepy Dog. I agree though that Alejandro a natural and very unique in his approach to the genre. Like John Legend with serious guitar skills. On the off chance he doesn't win American Idol, I still hope he goes very far in life. Incredible guy.
@@punkyagogo Alejandro is also a classical pianist. Check out "Blesser" here on RUclips Scarypoolparty. Also, check out all of the soundtracks he created for animes on IG. He's a beast.
Goddamn why did I find his music when I’m suppose to be studying for my nursing final exam -.- amazing skills brother. Stay true to your essence and yourself !
I don't wanna play my guitar no more. Just watching you satisfies my soul. Don't stop dreaming keep it high and soar Because God gifted like you deserve it all.
Your name should be Music Aranda....you are music. Can’t wait to see and hear you tonight at Idol....love your stuff man...totally makes American Idol a big big success !!!

I’ve been an AVID follower of RUclips artists for 15 years. I remember watching Tori Kelly & Justin Bieber before they got big. This guy isn’t just talented, he’s original. A generational type talent. Lord. Speechless.
All the ppl hitting thumbs down.........HATERS!!! This guy is unbelievable and hasn't even showed us a quarter of what he's capable of doing I'm sure. Don't listen to the haters man your amazing and it's an honor to see someone play music the way you do!
Its hard to believe that he's only been playing the guitar for 4 years and that he's self taught. Along with the piano and singing skills that he has. By those standards, this boy is on the genius level. Very impressive
I have played the guitar for 50 years, and thought I was an accomplished fingerpicker. However, I have never seen a style like this amazing young man’s who has only been playing for a mere four years, and is self taught (I honestly don’t know how anyone could teach his style). I saw his audition on American Idol, and didn’t want it to end. He also sang a song, accompanying himself on the piano.
Guitar pluck by the thumb/fingers create a precussion instrument sound with the guitar ... very unique way of playing the guitar by none other than the great ALEJANDRO ARANDA aka SCARRY POOL PARTY. ... no drums needed ...

Sometimes sounds emanate, melodies rift and our minds and souls are set free.. free to comprehend a lost love, remember how it felt to be missed.. Or for some the pain or deep distraught. The ones who can unlock our souls with melodic notes, are truly gifted, last night I felt human for the first time. The humility and awe I witnessed made my eyes heavy, his humbleness gave me hope. I'm a fan for all the right perfect reasons, it's been a while since music made feel again... Lots of love on your journey.
I've told people the same thing since I discovered him. It's like music has been gone for a while and here it is again. He's so good that I'm sad how good he is. His songs "Poison" and "Blesser" are crazy good.

I have to say AA has the most amazing instrumental talent I have ever seen! I mean I know there are some great musicians but AA is up there in that list!
Go Pomona. Literally right down the 71 from me. Great school & area. I'm hearing some John Mayer in his voice. Another great guitarist & singer. This guy has a bright future ahead of him.
Why does it sound like there are at least 2 OTHER guitars playing?! This guy is on another level...
It sounds like a whole band but it's just him. Not even a pick
I had the exact same thought lol. It's wild.
It's because hes playing fingerstyle acoustic thump plucks the bass strings 3 bottom fingers pluck the high end strings and hes using his first finger to slap the string to make that percussive sound.
Check out Andy McKee and like Jon Gomm you'll see what I mean
That's what true talent sounds like 😎
That guitar part is just....candy.
You have a serious album just sitting in pieces on RUclips.... Time to make it official bro.

Use hypnosis subliminal too. Hes amazing but he would def make me feel like starting smoking driving and chillin

yuss explained perfectly thank you
Watching his guitar playing and when he plays the piano is mesmerizing! Even if he didn't sing (which I'm glad he still does) I could watch for hours!
The first time in years that American Idol will actually produce another superstar. Just wow ❤️

Artist: Alejandro Aranda
Album: ScaryPoolParty

I cant wait. This guy is jaw droppingly good. I've heard 4 songs that all sound like chart toppers. His songwriting is as good if not better than ed Sheeran and his voice is much more enjoyable. Sign me up for every album.
I cannot wait to give him my money. I've been mesmerized for a week now. I revived my IG account and my Spotify. Couldn't help myself.
It's him and Mya Tran in the finals!
*buy
his name is scarypoolparty tho
Honestly, as a guitar player myself, I have to say this is some seriously incredible finger picking game. I’m envious.
I am not a guitar player and I can tell that I need to be impressed
me too :(
Ditto... I've been playing guitar for 40 years and I'm pretty envious myself ( especially since at 52 I'm developing arthritis in some fingers ☹️)
RMAC 001 i'm sorry for your loss
Hayden Nelson - I'm a guitar player myself also. And besides being very very impressed I just can't figure out where he's getting that "slap" sound from. Can you help me out?? He's obviously not palm muting/slapping!! How's is he doing it?
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years, his singing, guitar playing, piano playing, & his album, are just pure gold
Does he have 1 bad performance recorded ever?
This guy is unbelievable.
I'm addicted to his voice
No, he doesn't and this from a guy who doesn't think he can sing. I beg to differ.
Donna Davis what do you mean you think he can’t sing.
Also is he singing in falsetto the entire time?
@@natek5249 No. Alejandro said he doesnt consider himself as a singer .
hearing your singing voice is like coming home to a warm apple pie after a cold day
This resonates my soul....his voice and style
It's a summer driving tune, top down, open road and someone special this tune, in fact his whole first album, heavenly 😎😊
And who doesn't love warm apple pie?
His style is similar like John Mayer which I like but not much out there. Can’t wait to buy his album one day.
You said it so well.
If this becomes a lost gift like others I'm sorry for us. Music producers here's a songwriter, singer and a beast on the guitar and piano. Act now!! Take my money, I'm waiting on an album.

Been following him.
And just to let you know your beautiful !
Enjoy your day !
Yes please
I STILL want it so BAD
if someone ever tried to copy his sound, they would fail miserably. ugh so unique. cant get enough of it
That doesn't stop them from trying though! I wish they would stop and come up with their own style.
WoW, I didn't realize music can be so beautiful till I hear Alejandro Aranda's composition and singing.
your soul pours out in very note you play. I could listen to you all day. great things in store for such a humble beautiful soul.
this is like combination of coldplay, ed sheeran and tons of other original vibes... feels natural and fresh
More like dashboard confessional if hrs compared to anyone.
John X
Yes and sounds a little like John Meyer too.
Yaelryy Spear Dashboard?!? Lmao no....
hear city and color too
John Mayer, when he was good
Please dont change your style. Its what made you stand out and its why im typing this message.

I don't know if I could survive jamming with him LOL! I would give it one hell of a shot!
Seriously this guy is a legend and he is just getting started. Much respect
Dude. Fuuuuhhhk. Mad respect. Great things you will do. Fan for life.
He's playing this song in American idol Sunday
Alejandro just blows me away! When he sings and plays his guitar or piano it is so moving, there are just no words. It grabs your soul.
He truly is a musical genius, but he shared the secret to it all in his AI audition: he is hardworking. You can tell that he has put a LOT of time and hard work into honing his craft. That kind of discipline combined with that level of talent creates the virtuoso we all came to this channel to see & hear. Bravo, maestro!
Karen Brown He said in his interview thing that he’s only been playing for a few years. That’s not a result of hard work. That’s the kind of talent you’re just born with.
As well as stating that he started playing 4 years ago, he also described himself as hardworking. And as I said in my comment above, *in addition to* his high level of natural talent, it is obvious that he has spent alot of time working on his music, which he already affirmed he has. I was complimenting him on both his talent AND his diligence. I'm sorry if you don't think he works hard, or that his hard work doesn't make a difference, but I respectfully disagree.
I think he says that he is self taught in singing not in music. Correct me if I am wrong.
@@Rezzinate812 It's both. If you're born with it, but don't work on it, your talent just sits there inside you. He did work hard, you can hear it in the music.
@@kareninalabama He is a hard worker and he has an immense amount of God-given talent, but he doesn't think he's special at all, but we all know he is.
Sound healing
I just don't understand how in the world you weren't discovered before now. Absolute musical genius.
"Let's make America great again" in the music industry.... Starting with this talent, Alejandro!!! Congrats, Alejandro for saving the music industry.
Never comment on RUclips for anything but... wow. Rock on dude, you’re going to make it!
Yes, i think you are right. Could be huge all over the world too.

@@8778yeh He already is big all over the world. He regularly gets comments from New Zealand, South Africa, The Philippines, Brazil, Moscow, The United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Australia, and so many more countries. He will easily sell out a world tour.
I saw his American idol performance then found his RUclips of the same song. I was worried that might be his only good song. But every one of the songs I've found is excellent. He clearly should be successful regardless of American idol outcome.
A rough cut of the song he played on the piano during his audition is on IG now. I think it was from when he was writing it. Of course, he said he messed up notes and he apologized, but it sounded great to me. Clearly, he finished it because he played it on AI. Maybe he'll put that on Spotify soon.
I watch this every single day lmao. Not even kidding.
******Huge Announcement******
Alejandro aka Scarypoolparty is releasing a 21 song double album on August 27th. Eleven songs will be with an orchestra. It’s going to be amazing! “POISON” will be released 8/13!!! So excited as it’s one of my all time favorites!
Hope you’ve subscribed to his RUclips channel. I’ve seen him 4 times live and will see him too more times during his Fall Tour with X Ambassadorsz

Makes it look so so so easy.
This , really in 3 or four years. Songwriting, musicianship, that voice? I know God is real. You are truly gifted and blessed.
Homie! Thank you so much for playing this song on American Idol today!! It was brilliant!! Just voted for you 👍🏼
Ale... The best thing about you is that you don't know how immensely talented and gifted you are. An unconditional fan from now on bro.
Marcelo Decon he knows bro, or he wouldn't be performing.. He's just trying to find an outlet for all that potential.
Omg look at those fingers fly!
That's what iI've been saying! Even when he plays piano too, he's a sensational lyricists and musician
Within a month this channel will have millions of subscribers. American Idol has truly uncovered a musical star.
Russell Hyllested Just waiting it out
fuck american idol
American idol led me here... this dude is so great
im a mega alejandro fan who watches 10 videos of his a day, but realistically, he wont reach 1 mil. not even a year. he needs some more spotlight. he also needs to make an official channel he uploads to frequently
He doesn't but one day
70 year old cannot go long without listening to Alejandro! Judges are right ! I am so happy to have lived and heard a genius compose and play like this!!!! Do not let your shyness hold you back that is what I think makes you more likeable. will be at your concert 11/15 God bless you with many more hits!!
Like Lionel Richie, I find myself shaking my head in awe and appreciation.
I'm like Luke...like: what in the world are you?!!!!
Then like Katy: I want to make out with someone!!!
This was the first song I found on YT after I saw the Idol audition!! That was it, no turning back!! Still blown away daily!!
I wish he would perform this on American idol

The way you play the guitar is absolutely insane🥵🥵
5 years later this is still giving me goosebumps ❤
Here i am again lost in vodka and good music , my god i never heard this dude before but im glad i found your music alejandro thank you and RUclips for making my lonely nights a little better
Same
i feel that.
Oscar, I know it's been a month, but I hope in that month you've discovered more of his enchanting music. Seriously, he has so much music that it will take you another month to listen to it all. He has about 20-30 songs here on YT, on Instagram @scarypoolparty he has numerous clips and he adds to them 2-3 times/week even while he is on American Idol. Also, SoundCloud has 10 songs, Spotify has 3 songs available for streaming, including his Audition guitar song, "Out Loud" which has been streamed over 1MM times. He has 3 songs on Apple Play, as well.
lowkey the realist comment on here
Ok he is so addicting, have been binge listening to all his music omgg. 😫🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙
AmaniDori Me too,I can’t get enough 😁
AmaniDori omg me too! Hahahah I just love hearing his music!!
SAME. Binging nonstop since the broadcast. It’s all gorgeous.
So glad I'm not the only one. All this past week, I have been obsessing over this music that I can't figure out. It makes me feel some type of way. My family thinks I've lost my mind...and to think that week before last, I was enamored with Cardi B. Not that there is anything wrong with her, I love her story, but this is mind-blowing crazy, is-he-from-another-planet-that's-not-even-in-our-Universe, how-the-heck-did-he-do-that, touched by the hand of God, EF-5 Tornado, Cat 5 Hurricane in my head kind of musician...whew!
Same and I am falling in love!😍
Where has he been all this time, you ask? he's been working his ass off to bend his mere human body to his musical will. Look at his hands for god's sake, I don't think an instrument able to fully express his musical genius has been invented yet.
The way you write songs... unbelievable. I can’t get enough. Give me all the albums in advance thanks.
The guitar playing 🔥🔥🔥is amazing. The lyrics hit me the first time I heard this song in 2019. I am here in 2023 waiting patiently to see this video reach 1 million. We are so close. Scarypoolparty thank you for making meaningful music. ☮️🙏😊 Be happy And patient. The world will find your music. 😊
I think Idol is getting a lot of us here. I’m addicted to his music 🙌
Stevie Nicks predicts your future:
From my journal:
March 6th, 2019
Last night on American Idol ~ (day off) I was just ready to push “Guide” for the next hour and on walked this quiet soft spoken guy and something about him ~ said “Don’t change the channel.” When he started to play the first chords ~ I started to cry~ I cried all through his guitar song and all through his piano song.
My prophecy~ He will play and sing across the great stages of the world. He will play with 60 piece orchestras and he will play alone. I felt, as did the judges , that I was suspended in some sort of magical grace that was just simply overwhelming. My tears did not stop until he stopped.
So, Alejandro, let me welcome you to the grand stage that will be your home for the rest of your extraordinary life~
Love always,
Stevie Nicks
She feels what we all feel when we hear and watch him perform. He is one in millions.
Thank you for posting all of this great stuff for us! Alejandro , you are a straight-up STAR!
It's like Gypsy Kings meets the most heavenly voice. Can't stop listening
Whattttttt in the God creation is thissssssssss 😳😳😳😳😳!!!!!!!! Man thank you God for the creative gift you blessed us with.
The guy in this video said he’s a hard worker. Thank him...
Alejandro deserves the credit.
Amen!
What people don't realize is that there are thousands upon thousands of people who work hard and have the talent and only a fraction of them ever reach their potential. God gave him the talent and Alejandro stepped out on faith and allowed God to order his steps. You thanked the right person.
Yes.
Lyrics :
Face to face
You know that I've been watching you
To cause this pain out loud within the truth
So tell me, tell me, tell me lover
If I'm the one you need
Oh yeah it's you
Your love is so poisoning
Oh yes, your love is so poisoning
So I'll take apart the pieces that we left
Between the sheets that we shared
Oh yes your love is so, so poisoning
So poisoning
Face to face
You know that I've been needing you
To cause this pain out loud within the truth
So tell me, tell me, tell me lover
If I'm the one you need
So yes, your love is so poisoning
Oh yes, your love is so, so poisoning
So I'll take apart the pieces that we left
Between the sheets that we shared
So yes, your love is so poisoning
Oh, so poisoning
(Correct me if you think I have anything wrong!)
On the very last verse you forgot “so poi-“ *dog barks* “son-“ *dog barks again* “ing”
It's poisoning ME he says that a few times at the end of the chorus
Marissa Hodges yes. agree
You’re forgetting the “Me” at the end of “poisoning”... he pauses and then says ME
Also, anyone know what in God’s name he’s tuned his guitar to?
Thank you for sharing this with the world
My winner for sure. He's getting a deal for SURE!!
You're so dope. I've never seen anyone like you. You are my new favorite person to hear and to watch. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. We need you.
Look up math rock/midwest emo if you want to hear more stuff like this. For instance, another guy who's really good is Sleepy Dog. I agree though that Alejandro a natural and very unique in his approach to the genre. Like John Legend with serious guitar skills. On the off chance he doesn't win American Idol, I still hope he goes very far in life. Incredible guy.
@@punkyagogo Alejandro is also a classical pianist. Check out "Blesser" here on RUclips Scarypoolparty. Also, check out all of the soundtracks he created for animes on IG. He's a beast.
You're crazy talented and you deserve all the recognition ! So much love
Goddamn why did I find his music when I’m suppose to be studying for my nursing final exam -.- amazing skills brother. Stay true to your essence and yourself !
😃🙌
@@yoliiiii2370 siii yo también debería de estar arreglando mi curriculum y me entretengo con sus canciones, ayyy que me pasa ;)
that was like a combination of jesus and fergie, for a second i think you took the shape of a unicorn
I can't even make eye contact with him right now
Robert better not get in my face.
I’m not calling him dad. Even if there’s a FIRE
HAHAHAAH
I don't wanna play my guitar no more.
Just watching you satisfies my soul.
Don't stop dreaming keep it high and soar
Because God gifted like you deserve it all.

Homie, this is the third song of yours I’ve listened to & I love all of them!!! Whether you win American Idol or not, prepare for superstardom!!! You’re about to go viral brother!!!
sonicmouth he is already...
That’s the truth Lucie :)
I’ve been an AVID follower of RUclips artists for 15 years.
I remember watching Tori Kelly & Justin Bieber before they got big.
This guy isn’t just talented, he’s original. A generational type talent.
Lord. Speechless.
James Daugherty FACTS
Why do you look like a thumb
James Daugherty wow you’re so special
once in a generation talent!!!
All the ppl hitting thumbs down.........HATERS!!! This guy is unbelievable and hasn't even showed us a quarter of what he's capable of doing I'm sure. Don't listen to the haters man your amazing and it's an honor to see someone play music the way you do!
Its hard to believe that he's only been playing the guitar for 4 years and that he's self taught. Along with the piano and singing skills that he has. By those standards, this boy is on the genius level. Very impressive
I have played the guitar for 50 years, and thought I was an accomplished fingerpicker. However, I have never seen a style like this amazing young man’s who has only been playing for a mere four years, and is self taught (I honestly don’t know how anyone could teach his style). I saw his audition on American Idol, and didn’t want it to end. He also sang a song, accompanying himself on the piano.
Gene search his song on here called "Blesser". You'll be blown away. I promise.
Joe, I gave it a listen! I am blown away!
@@margaretgamao2484 Watch "Blesser" to see him go off on the piano. You'll see why he referenced Chopin on Idol as an influence. He's so special.
Guitar pluck by the thumb/fingers create a precussion instrument sound with the guitar ... very unique way of playing the guitar by none other than the great ALEJANDRO ARANDA aka SCARRY POOL PARTY. ... no drums needed ...
This kid is gifted hes one of a kind. God blessed you homie with such amazing talent. STAY HUMBLE and greater things will come to you
His music speaks to me in a way no other music has before 😍

Damnnnn you’re just crazy talented. Give it some time. Never give up. And you’re definitely going places
hey christian Your were right.
My baby Alejandro😩💛 I love you so much. Never change💛 your sound, you’re smile and your personality!! You are amazing
Excited he’s gonna play this song tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll be acoustic
Exactly like your wish
Sometimes sounds emanate, melodies rift and our minds and souls are set free.. free to comprehend a lost love, remember how it felt to be missed.. Or for some the pain or deep distraught. The ones who can unlock our souls with melodic notes, are truly gifted, last night I felt human for the first time. The humility and awe I witnessed made my eyes heavy, his humbleness gave me hope. I'm a fan for all the right perfect reasons, it's been a while since music made feel again... Lots of love on your journey.
I've told people the same thing since I discovered him. It's like music has been gone for a while and here it is again. He's so good that I'm sad how good he is. His songs "Poison" and "Blesser" are crazy good.
@angellooking Truth in poetry. 💜
Sundays need to come faster! I just want to listen to him all day. No one has ever had that effect on me. Ever!
So happy to have this beauty now in my iTunes. Your new album is fantastic! Glad this song is on it! 💗
Alejandro Aranda has enlightened me the true beauty of music. Thank u so much.

I have to say AA has the most amazing instrumental talent I have ever seen! I mean I know there are some great musicians but AA is up there in that list!
Go Pomona. Literally right down the 71 from me. Great school & area. I'm hearing some John Mayer in his voice. Another great guitarist & singer. This guy has a bright future ahead of him.
I am from the local Pomona area, too! Cool to see home talent!
