the way he speaks is so mesmerising I could listen to him all day

I was crying over him one night and my mom looked at the video and was like," you're in love with the guy who washes my car at auto bell."

It’s crazy that this is the guy that makes me feel the most intense feelings from his music… love u Alex

[@deefhead9684]

I’ve been a fan of Alex G’s music for a few years now, and I’ve been scrolling past this video for a while now. Finally just watched it and I love the way he thinks and speaks. It’s so comforting and easy to understand. I feel like he and I could have a good jumping from conversation to conversation time lol

[@anaiii21]

I find it soooo fitting that he used to think of video-game making as an outlet for developing storytelling. I mean his songs already have like this quality of narrating something, be it fictional or not, in the way that you don't really know where the lyrics are coming from, yet they get somewhat realistic when they turn to be relatable or even mention specific names or situations. Idk man I just love his writing, i think he already is a great storyteller

[@catsick94]

hmmm it makes a lot of sense that two of my favourite songs on blonde are the ones Alex played on.

[@KEVINRODRIGUEZ-wc3fe]

I know he’s on self control, but what’s the other one?

so much thanks to Alex and RFC for doing this, theres like no good interviews with Alex on RUclips, and you guys asked great questions in this. Also thank you so much for asking the question about him playing on Blonde, I haven't been able to find information on it at all. Its super cool to know that he played on two of my favorite songs on the album.

[@crazygood4]

[@ImprovEyes-fc9fo]

People compare a lot of his work to Elliott Smith. I guess I can see it. Sometimes.
But I just had a thought, Their personalities in interviews are so different lol
I like them both a lot though. They both crack me up.

Well, guess he matured(a Lil bit), since his newest album was recorded by someone else or with someone else. I love the newest album but I love all his albums now that I've heard them, soo.
