My uncle passed as morphine addict in 2007. That wasn’t who he was. A lot of family around me labelled him as a lowlife, someone to avoid, but every time I saw him he had something good to say, something positive to teach me and my sisters. Ironically, out of all of my family, he spent the most time in our lives before he passed. Mum and I love you always Uncle Paul.
it's really beautiful that you view and understood him in a positive way. addiction has such a stigma, even in today's culture, it's really a shame. but it's truly a disease and i wish more people viewed it as such, instead of passing judgment on folks who suffer from it. anyway, i'm sorry for your loss and i'm sure he's looking over you
@@kmhrt totally agree ;-; my mom is an alcohol addict and im pretty sure im the only one who actually listens to her and understands that addiction is a really hard condition to get out of. Shes been doing better lately and much better than her worse and im proud of her
I feel like Alex usually expresses himself through fictional or semi-fictional characters and worlds. But this has to be one of his most emotionally direct songs and it's stunning
Yeah he’s stated that he writes from the perspectives of characters outside of himself though I can’t help feeling like there’s some truth to it peppered in there
This song is just a perfect alex g song. No way around it. The meaning is a bonus and it makes you think about how much we are losing. How many times can a person overdose and be brought back till the cannot be saved. The final one.
@@tokyoghost3236 his roommate/close buddy overdosed and died while he was home; this is a true story..not a fictional tale with truth "peppered" in. I think it was the fader interview where he spoke about it recently. But yeah, really sad
i lost my best friend today from an overdose and i was crying to a friend of mine who showed me this song and told me to listen to the lyrics. i absolutely lost it. i miss you so much brother. it’s not right. i’ve listened to this song 5 times in a row now. i miss you so much.
I am so sorry dude. I just found out my best friend passed about 9 weeks ago and had no idea until now. I get that loss and this song is an amazing coping mechanism. I hope things are doing okay and just know ur best friend is always with you 🖤. R.i.p to all our friends always in our hearts 🕊️
He was a good friend of mine He died, why write about it now? Gotta honour him somehow Yeah, saw some people cryin' that night Yeah, Fentanyl took a few lives from our life Alright I awoke in the middle of the night He spoke with his eyes half-closed Can you give me somethin' else to eat? Got a hole in my chest, I can't take it anymore Put my pillow to the test, let me rest In the house, they were callin' out his name All night takin' turns on the bed Throwin' bottles from the windows of the home On Hope Street You can write a check in my name now Eddie, take the money and run
this song reminds me of my bestfriend who died this year. she was my only friend and reason to keep going. and here i am now almost a year later. still pushing. but its still for her sake. i want to make her proud and dedicate all the success that ill make in my art career to her. rest in peace my love, koda
My cousin passed last year from a fentanyl overdose. I still think about him often, this song is often one I skip over due to the sadness it brings me. Such powerful lyrics it has. You never think that this kind of stuff will effect you until it does
i’ll never forget the first time i heard this song, the first line really hit me hard especially since i lost my brother/closest friend years prior. i just felt a really strong connection to the song and years later it got me through another really rough point in life when my close friend and roommate was dealing with drug abuse. it was a really scary year and i’d sit by his bedside most nights checking his pulse and breathing and making sure he didn’t sleep on his back. i was afraid to sleep because i was terrified he’d od. while he was in rehab i’d just sit alone in my room and listen to this song. rehab was rough for him but i think it helped even a little and he’s doing so much better now thankfully and doesn’t do pills anymore. my heart goes out to everyone grieving in the comments, not every story has a similar happy ending. tell your friends and your family you love them and always check up on people you love. you never know what someone is going through. as someone who used to do so and is now over a year sober, i can say with my whole heart that coping with substance is never the right choice and will leave you worse off. if you’re reading this God loves you
My twin and roommate was addicted to psychedelics, I remember listening to this song every day during that period. "I woke in the middle of the night He spoke with his eyes half closed Can you give me something else To eat" This verse hit me harder. He always ate chocolate when he came home stoned and lay limply on the bed. I would cover him with a blanket, pour water into a cup and plug in my phone hoping that when he woke up he would think about other people and things than being stoned again. He was only 15/16 years old and I would not forgive myself if it ended in tragedy. I love you bro you are 2 months sober today!
Man I loved this song and never really digested the lyrics in the first chorus until reading through them. Hits hard. We've all lost someone close to us at some point, or will.
Earlier this year my best friend hung herself just a few weeks from prom. We were planning to go dress shopping together. We had plans for the weekend. She was always laughing she was always happy. Listening to this song makes my stomach hurt. Her mom and dad were divorced and she didn't have a lot of money, her mom had cancer and couldnt get a job. But she was always laughing. When they told me what happened I was laughing. It didn't feel real. I called our other friend and we were laughing on the phone it was surreal. When we met at the hospital and saw her with all those tubes and cables.. thats when we started to cry. I feel like talking about it all the time. Even though its been months i feel like my friends and family should still be talking about it. I don't think about her all the time but when I do I feel like im trapped like im falling forever. My stomach and my heart ache so bad its a physical pain. You never think something like that could happen to you but it can. Please be kind to one another you don't know who's in pain. She was my best friend and I didn't.
living an hour out of philadelphia, i always used to see advertisements and billboards for sugarhouse casino. i always imagined it as some great palace that adults could only enter. alex g really drives it home. this album really hits hard for me as i had a girlfriend who was seriously addicted to opiates and other hard drugs. I can relate and feel a lot of lyrics on this song, addiction is such a horrible thing to experience secondhand, i just can't imagine trying shit like that anymore. I will never forget the effects these substances can have on somebody, and the lessons ive learned surrounding drugs. i am so glad that i never had to go through a loss like this. thank you alexander for putting my emotions into words :)
this video is such a good thing to humanity. people see a puppet dancing, i see my true self. i see the self nobody sees. this puppet is so nostalgic for me since as a kid, ive loved puppets like this. until 2020 i lost interest in them. thank you so much alex. i will never forget what you have done to humanity. ❤
Rest in peace Kally. I don’t judge you for any of the things you struggled with and i’m so sorry that anyone ever did. Maybe if our grandma was kinder to you things wouldn’t have turned out this way and I’m sorry I never stood up for you, I was too scared of her and i know that’s no excuse i’m sorry, but you were a hero to me for how you stood up to her, you still are a hero to me. I could be myself around you and I even felt safe enough to come out to you and you’re one of the few people who actually knew me. If you were still here I know you’d understand how it feels now that we have to go and live with grandma, and I might be able to tell you what I’ve never told anyone about what she did to me as a kid. I felt safe around you and you were such a good person and so so kind and wonderful and supportive and fuck her for trying to tell you you weren’t, I love you dude and I hope there’s an afterlife so I can hug you again and we can get to know each other like we had started too before you passed. I love you kally and you’re the best cousin I could’ve asked for, rest in peace.
I cried reading this. I hope you're doing okay. My siblings and I grew up in a bad situation, and my little brother ended up a little worse off than me. He was an amazing person, and the person I felt closest to in the world. We lost him 4 and a half years ago. I understand that feeling of regret that you weren't able to do more for your cousin. Sometimes when we're stuck in a situation that's too difficult, we can't be there for others in the way we want to because we're fighting for our own lives. Since then, I've tried to live in a way that honors his memory. I hope there's an afterlife too. I'm married now, with a pregnant wife. And weirdly enough, I had a dream two nights ago that a bus pulled up to my house and out stepped my brother, holding the baby. He shows up in my dreams more than you might expect.
@@mattkeese2617 i’m so sorry for your loss. thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story, it means a lot to me that someone out there understands what i’m going through. i’m doing okay now, living with my grandma isn’t super great and im really upset i had to move in with her after my dad passed away. i still miss my cousin and i wish so badly that she was here because shes the only one who could truly understand what im going through here with my grandma. but even with all of that, things have gotten better, and so have i. im in therapy now, ive been sober from sh for 8 months now, my friends have been so lovely and kind and supportive, im working on getting into college and im gonna start a new job im excited for soon, and ive learned to kind of live with my grandma for the time being even if i will never forgive her. sometimes things can really really suck, but life is never all good or all bad, and even though its been really hard sometimes especially these last nine months, things have been good for me too, and i know they would want me to be happy even after they’ve passed so i always try to remember that when things are tough. i wish i could see my dad and my cousin again, but it helps me to think theyre at peace right now, no matter what. and if there is an afterlife then someday ill get to see them again and hug them and we’ll have all the time in the world to spend together again :) me and my family have had some “paranormal” experiences since my dad passed too, and he told us when he passed away he would do some things if there was an afterlife and all the things he said he’d do happened so im a little comforted by that. but even if there isnt, im glad he’s at peace, after everything he went through in his life he deserves peace. and i think he’d be happy that everything is okay now and my family is all okay, even after everything. i’m glad you have a lot of nice things in your life right now, im really proud of you for getting through all you went through, and i hope you get to see your brother again in whatever comes after this life, i hope we both get to see the people we love again some day and im glad we’ve both learned to love this life even if we cant be alongside them in it anymore. i hope you have a beautiful life
Blows my mind he keeps getting better. Most artists that’ve put out as much content start to lose their stride and suck, there’s only so much fuel in the tank but I feel like this guys just getting started and already a legend. Damn.
Your the real deal. This is going to be record of the year. The song is a masterpiece and so was "Gretel". Gotta give a shout out those lyrics. Really strikes a chord for many out their. "He was a good friend of mine He died Why I write about it now Gotta honor him somehow"
radicalronin post Area 51 Storm you and all the freed aliens drive in silence to this track and remember those who sacrificed themselves to make it happen
@@radicalronin oh don't get me wrong I love it 😂 Just realized tho that this song is connected to a tragedy in real peoples lives, but I think life comes with lots of emotions. Crying, laughing, and sometimes you can't tell them apart.
Cried listening to this song a few nights ago, practically out of nowhere. The first line of the song just hit me really hard. I'm lucky that I haven't yet lost any family members who I know personally, and I guess to an extent it means that I'm quite disconnected with the reality of death, it's often just something that you hear in songs or see in movies. It was the delivery of 'a good friend of mine' that really pushed me over the edge, death is real and it can happen to anyone around us at any time, it's not always years away. It's the fact that they never come back, it's permanent, there is never a chance to catch up, often not even a chance to say goodbye. It's just that immediate absence, it's not healthy for the mind, for someone to be here one day and gone the next, it can't be healthy.
Absolutely can't get enough of this track, has me in tears often. Can't wait for the record. It reminds me a lot of 'gnaw' one of my favorite old alex songs
My partner overdosed on fentanyl two years ago, but the last year or so he was alive we used to listen to this song together a lot, I still can’t listen to this without falling apart. Idk what else to say, but this song is beautifully crafted.. Rest in peace Quaid Irving
this song reminds me of an old friend, Joey, he got lost into the world of drugs and it just feels like there’s no coming back for him. i miss you dearly joey
I remember showing one of my best friends sandy Alex g because I was so happy to have finally found someone like Elliott smith. Elliott was one of our favorites. But she died less than a year after I showed her this song and it just makes me think of her every time
@@mbenny3353 I was thinking the same thing man. Both are my favorites from Race. Gnaw is actually my favorite Alex G song in general. Just makes listening to Hope even better

i lived this song. almost a year ago, i lost two good friends to fentanyl overdoses within days of each other. Thank You Alex G, for all yr music but esp. this song. i listen to it to honor them somehow ❤
Only started listening to Alex G this year. Went through all his albums which in my opinion got progressively stronger. Genuinely haven't been this excited for an album in years.
Took me a while to be able to listen this after my best friend and past band mate overdosed on fentanyl 7 months ago. I was fan of the song prior not having read the lyrics and now it tears me to shreds when it comes on. It’s like he wrote this song knowing exactly how I feel and I can’t tell you how much it genuinely means to me. Thanks Alex G 🖤
Damn!! This has got to be one of his songs which struck me emotionally. This one tells a story which i bet some of us can somehow relate to in such a different level. Love u Alex G!!
I haven't lost a friend to drugs thankfully but your music makes me feel like i have he captures emotion perfectly and this song just gets me good . Thank you Sandy Alex G .

2:22で聞こえる息を吸うようなため息のような音が心に穴が空きどうしようもないくらいの深い悲しみに暮れて憔悴しきってベッドに腰掛けて頭を抱えて目を瞑って亡くなった友達への後悔に苛まれてる男性の姿と雨の日みたいな暗い部屋を想像してしまう。
AlexGにそんな意図があるのかは知らないけど、個人的に毎回ここを聞くたびにそういう情景がふっと想像してしまうので、たったひとつため息のような音を入れるだけなのにここまで的確に一発で状況と感情を膨らませられるものを取り入れるのが本当にすごい。

Found out yesterday that a friend I made in Rehab passed away. This song brings tears to my eyes. RIP Edgar, Ur giggles will be missed
This is the song I'm going to play to my alien while we're driving home through the Mojave desert
radicalronin post Area 51 Storm you and all the freed aliens drive in silence to this track and remember those who sacrificed themselves to make it happen
Isn't there any subculture that's safe from this area 51 meme
@@GriimX Not a chance budd but I definitely feel you
@@radicalronin oh don't get me wrong I love it 😂
Just realized tho that this song is connected to a tragedy in real peoples lives, but I think life comes with lots of emotions. Crying, laughing, and sometimes you can't tell them apart.
radicalronin I can see it
omg how can music be this wonderful?
Cried listening to this song a few nights ago, practically out of nowhere. The first line of the song just hit me really hard. I'm lucky that I haven't yet lost any family members who I know personally, and I guess to an extent it means that I'm quite disconnected with the reality of death, it's often just something that you hear in songs or see in movies.
It was the delivery of 'a good friend of mine' that really pushed me over the edge, death is real and it can happen to anyone around us at any time, it's not always years away. It's the fact that they never come back, it's permanent, there is never a chance to catch up, often not even a chance to say goodbye. It's just that immediate absence, it's not healthy for the mind, for someone to be here one day and gone the next, it can't be healthy.
had this exact experience the other night
That’s empathy bro, it’s a good thing
Absolutely can't get enough of this track, has me in tears often. Can't wait for the record. It reminds me a lot of 'gnaw' one of my favorite old alex songs
Alex G stays making exactly the album I need when he makes it
My partner overdosed on fentanyl two years ago, but the last year or so he was alive we used to listen to this song together a lot, I still can’t listen to this without falling apart. Idk what else to say, but this song is beautifully crafted.. Rest in peace Quaid Irving
i'm so glad to be clean. godspeed to those of you struggling as I have. this song haunts me to this day
Has to be my current favorite of his. Innnncredible.
I needed this very very badly thank you
Feel this
this song reminds me of an old friend, Joey, he got lost into the world of drugs and it just feels like there’s no coming back for him. i miss you dearly joey
best alex g song out here , no doubt
This song is just so tragic, its so well made but a song has never made me feel so bad for someone
"yeah, fentanyl took a few lives from our life
alright" I miss every one
RIP Mac Miller.
why he gotta make me feel things
“Yeah, Eddie take the money and run”. That hits deep.
I can’t alex g i love you with my entire heart
This song is a masterpiece
Lost my cousin to fentanyl last year and this song hit me like a train when I was listening to his discography thanks for the beautiful music❤❤
This might be the greatest discomfort food ever.
great description hahah
This is the saddest song I have ever heard. I love it.
I remember showing one of my best friends sandy Alex g because I was so happy to have finally found someone like Elliott smith. Elliott was one of our favorites. But she died less than a year after I showed her this song and it just makes me think of her every time
Fentanyl has almost killed me 7 times. Lucky to be alive. This song hits hard.
Don't give up man. Keep away from the junk, God is with you.
How you doing bro?
Clever Metaphor 4 months clean from opiates
@@MattFearnoTx You're doing amazing

Rest In Peace to all of our brothers.
wow I didn't expect to be crying immediately. RIP all the kids we lost to H and fentanyl
Im legit so excited he only gets better this is beautiful
alex your spoiling us
THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG!
Wow. What a song. I'm hearing this for the first time on the Indie TV station and I can't explain it but my life just changed for the better.
The first few notes took me to exactly where his music always takes me, thanks again Alex G :,)
Really feeling the Race vibes with this one. Classic Alex G, I love it
Anthony Madison the guitar reminds me of a mixture of Remember and Gnaw
@@mbenny3353 I was thinking the same thing man. Both are my favorites from Race. Gnaw is actually my favorite Alex G song in general. Just makes listening to Hope even better
Mike Benkoski thought the same thing‼️
September can't come soon enough
Rest in piece to Ryan Wilson of the band Pill Friends
This song is beyond beautiful.
Always Impressed. Keep it up Alex and I’m hyped for the album

i can't put into words how good this song is....
That instrumental interlude!!!! This makes me feel an ethereal ambien cowboy
Thank you Alex G for your music being there ❤
I miss you Kelly. I loved you. You didn’t deserve to die. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to help you. I love you 💕
This song makes me cry not just because it's emotionally powerful but also some of the words just speak to me.. sorry currently bawling rn 🥲👍
It’s the simple but powerful lyrics that get you
This is riveting. So stoked for this album

This is one of those songs where you just want to start running into the night just as far as you can before you collapse
This is what I got to wake up to ❤
Thank you so much for creating works of art. My days are always much easier to cope with thanks to your songs.
i can’t wait to hear live/acoustic performances of this
acknowledgeable
god i love alex g
i lived this song. almost a year ago, i lost two good friends to fentanyl overdoses within days of each other. Thank You Alex G, for all yr music but esp. this song. i listen to it to honor them somehow ❤
These compositions are deep friend. Amazing intertwining of audio elements cascade into memory rivers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This comment keeps me smiling
this is the only song that has made me cry and i have no idea why
Only started listening to Alex G this year. Went through all his albums which in my opinion got progressively stronger.
Genuinely haven't been this excited for an album in years.
I’m happy I found Alex G
Can’t express his beautiful this is, but wants to make me cry

XanltheCSG I did not expect to read a comment like this here but I like it
ayye lol
a meeting of the minds
whoa this is a strange venn diagram ive found myself in
I lost my best friend to their addiction, that song hits harder than my dad.
thank you sandy! big smiles n such today
Took me a while to be able to listen this after my best friend and past band mate overdosed on fentanyl 7 months ago. I was fan of the song prior not having read the lyrics and now it tears me to shreds when it comes on. It’s like he wrote this song knowing exactly how I feel and I can’t tell you how much it genuinely means to me. Thanks Alex G 🖤
That’s awful I’m so sorry
Damn!! This has got to be one of his songs which struck me emotionally. This one tells a story which i bet some of us can somehow relate to in such a different level. Love u Alex G!!
This song brings me tears . Had to comment
I haven't lost a friend to drugs thankfully but your music makes me feel like i have he captures emotion perfectly and this song just gets me good . Thank you Sandy Alex G .
this is my new favorite song by him
I feel like all of the G man's past projects have been leading to this moment. And this is just a taste. I love it
