Before Alex G’s concert in Toronto, I had to convince my dad to let me go. He agreed that he would pay for both our tickets and drive to Toronto if I convinced him to be a fan. This was the first song I made him listen to. Next, he listened to God Save The Animals. The Christian in him kept streaming S.D.O.S and Blessing. Me and my dad usually never get along, thank you for the music we can bond over
Is the sub-melody at 2:05 a reference Ring Around the Rosy? It sounds like a childhood song but the chords make it so much more dark and rich, like the feeling you get when you find out your chilhood was more complex and deeper than what you understood at the time
This song reminds me of the long drives through the countryside me and my ex-girlfriend used to do. The summer breeze flowing through the windows, the sun gently setting creating a color painting in the sky. It was just me and her in love in the world in those far long ago summer days. Those were better, more innocent times. I miss her every day.
I really love how this song mentions the bright sky of the south west because that’s something that I really love bright skies just make me so happy and change my whole mood
One of my bestfriends loves Alex g. I feel very far away from him right now. He’s in a bottle, I’m in a new city. The last time I saw him really alive was when this album came out. This feels like home, I only found home in him after I turned 18.
I realized after a while that that bridge melody is the "ring around the rosie"/ "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah" taunting melody, but with an extra set of melodies tacked onto it which I think is really smart.
These new singles have been keeping me going in my life, they came at the perfect time. The world is insane and they bring me genuine comfort from the storm.
Every once in a while there comes a singer who gives you the goosebumps! Just when you lost hope in finding any great contemporary music ...not been this excited since Beck! x
The church at the end being eerily reminiscent of the church in the background of Trick's album cover is a beautiful touch and brings up some questions about these characters and their possible involvement in Trick's narrative story.
@@Iemon_Lemon hahaha funny isn't it!! i am so happy to see him succeed. i remember hearing his music on tumblr in 2018 (?) and being shocked more people weren't listening
he's a sham, gave all the tracks individually on the roundups high praises, then says they're not good when the album actually comes out? so much continuity fuckery with melon on this record.
I had this on in the background because my mate put this in a collaborative Spotify playlist and the part from 2:06 onward made me do a double take because it sounds like Bluey music lmao
hey guy, i remember when you just released this song. i was happy, just met a guy who would be my first boyfriend. thank you for the memories. when i listen to this, im forever happy. nothing bad is awaiting for me, and nothing bad happened before this. or at least i can imagine.
Song lyrics full! One two three, i count black sheep on my way to sleep, i can pick and choose these devils in my pattern dreams When i wake up i am smiling, now i will not change my mind, i will remeber the trouble in my brothers eyes, Its ok we dont cry here in the southern sky Its ok we dont cry here in the southern sky Its ok we dont cry here in the southern sky You and me these are a titles i can hardly speak, all we found here to an echo tinted blue & green Let my memory run backwards so together we lay mind, i will remember the fire in the southern sky (music chorus) 2:06 - 3:09 (the end)
This makes feel sad in the absolute happiest way possible
that’s alex’s music in a nutshell
It makes me kinda sad, but maybe i was before
Makes me feel happy in the saddest way
Nostalgic sad*
@@leeder- real
This is one of those songs that feels like it was just sent to earth from the gods. Dangerously catchy and well-crafted
I agree peter cheeseberg you said it so well. Makes my heart float and feel like soft clouds.

My sister lives across the country. This is her favorite song. Whenever I start missing her I turn this on. :,)
Awwww
*Awwwwww that's literally so sweet and wholesome! 🥰❤❤❤❤❤*
*that is so cuteeee*
can relate (other than the fact that my sister doesn't like alex g 😔)
I love the silly bonk at 1:46 and how it matches up to the piano 🤣
it’s okay we don’t cry , WE LOVE THE SOUTHERN SKY!
Its really impressive how well the animation matches up with the music
holy cow
hey there
oh hi
Well howdy there, pilgrim.
my half asleep brain commented this before this song put me back to sleep
it's block!!!!
That chorus starting at 1:07 is so good. I don't know how Alex G isn't more popular
The ones that know, know

I count black sheep on my way to sleep
I can't pick and choose these devils in my
Patterned dreams
When I wake up I am smiling
Now I will not change my mind
I will remember the trouble in my
Brother's eye
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
You and me
These are titles I can hardly speak
Are we bound here to an echo tinted
Blue and green
Let my memory run backwards
So together we may lie
I will remember the fire
In the southern sky
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
It's okay we don't cry we love the southern sky
Man i WISH that 2nd chorus was there. Is this official? Maybe the album version? Pretty fucking please?

Alex G's songs gives me a kind of comfort that seems so new to me.
this album is gonna be a banger I can feel it
Emily and Alex are the greatest duo since Mobb Deep
Totally his secret weapon, not that he doesn't give her credit. She does add so much
The infamous comin outta Philly
the smoking gun!
@L Alien Haha that shit sucks no lie
that's Emily? I thought it was his girlfriend.
Is the sub-melody at 2:05 a reference Ring Around the Rosy? It sounds like a childhood song but the chords make it so much more dark and rich, like the feeling you get when you find out your chilhood was more complex and deeper than what you understood at the time
It also sounds like "It's Raining, It's Pouring"
that's what I thought when I heard it. made it so nostalgic for me and I genuinely was almost crying
Guys I am about to be listening to this and nothing else for the next three days easy. Each single from this album has colored my life
same here
I'm pretty sure I've listened to Hope at least 10,000 times already. Soundtrack of the summer
@@matthewlegermusic Right? My friend and I learned it on guitar. We're going to do a duet of southern sky soon

the animation/art in this video is so dang good!
The intro is so good
Thank you, Alex. House of Sugar is shaping up to be AOTY. Every single so far has made me cry, but crying like this :')
THAT PIANO RIFF THINGY 😍

It’s funny how Alex creates such nostalgic melodies
like 'ha ha' funny? or more curious and amusing?
Bad Manna funny in a cool way, amazing how he’s able to create those kind of things
Raphael Dias amazing how he’s able to create those kind of worlds
@@raphaeldias3102 agreed

This shit doesn't fail to cover me in goosebumps and bring me to the verge of tears every listen
Great work Elliot!! Love your artwork!! Compliments the music perfectly as always
This is one of the greatest music videos i've ever seen.
2:06 the instrumental here makes me feel Shrimp emotions
Ok, now you convinced me to pre-order the whole album
welcome aboard
i really like the vocal harmonies in this song
yeah Emily and Alex it's amazing
Album of the year
it gives such an old feeling and look it’s so nice
These new singles have been keeping me going in my life, they came at the perfect time. The world is insane and they bring me genuine comfort from the storm.
House of Sugar is a classic already. There's no doubt about it.

That ring around the rosie nod is eerie as fuck.
0:30 is beautiful and and it resonates with me a lot

This song is so underrated. I’ve been listening since it came out! ❤
this melodies echo through my heart.
Love this song and I listen to it everyday! from japan.

this song has grown on me so much
This is a beautiful song. I love it instantly, can't wait for the album!
Incredible animation in relation to Alex G's tonality. Bravo!
Damn, it's just Alex G now, I know it was originally Alex G but there was something iconic about the (sandy)
i like alex g better
Yeah hard disagree lol
There’s two artists?
this song means so much to me and I can't explain why
I feel like alex is gonna rlly start blowing up now - his music truly is special

You were extremely right

The music video is beautiful, the music too
I genuinely can’t explain how much Alex G’s music has helped me
i mean, of every songs that came out this year, alex g´s work is definitely stands out

This song is a masterpiece. ♥️
Best intro I’ve heard all year.

Overthinking too much
The best song ever written, brb I'm going to learn the violin

honestly one of my favorite music videos and songs ever. Keep coming back to it.
At first I wasn’t sure about Gretel but I’m loving each new song more and more. Album is coming out a week before my birthday. Perfect.
we love the southern sky
Buying a record player just to also buy this on vinyl. Alex G never fails to deliver
Jake s If you get it on Domino Music’s site theres a limited purple vinyl with a glitter jacket and a 7” bonus disc 👌
i love how his music has slowly transformed into folk
all these singles are amazing
lyrics are so much more authentic than rocket imo so far.
nothing like a good ol alex g song to make me wanna ride my non existent horse into the sunset
He crawled so lil nas x, kacey musgraves, and Mitski could run
Kiki LOL
Lol ur comment is in the ad for the album
@@akurahana5853 wait what are u serious where can i see this
Kiki no dead ass , he posted it somewhere i saw it on a street or something. on like a big display, your comment
Still great a year later. I am getting Elliott Smith vibes.
First time hearing this guy legit rn n I said the same
Me too gnfnf
Beautiful
the vibes showed up
that album is gonna be insane
I had this on in the background because my mate put this in a collaborative Spotify playlist and the part from 2:06 onward made me do a double take because it sounds like Bluey music lmao
Its ring around the Rosie that’s why
hey guy,
i remember when you just released this song. i was happy, just met a guy who would be my first boyfriend. thank you for the memories. when i listen to this, im forever happy. nothing bad is awaiting for me, and nothing bad happened before this. or at least i can imagine.
and i thought i was the only one who used "hey guy"
Oh my god.. someone get this man on the top charts, he well over deserves it
What a beautiful song
Alex g always releasing bangers bruh
I had socks on before listening to this....
What does this mean
after listening he doesnt have his socks
each single has been something real special. I haven't been this excited for an album release in years
probably my favorite so far
Damn this album is already great
I watch the video constantly, great work Elliot and Alex. Do more stuff together this is insanely good
So elegantly put
I cant explain it, but this makes feel a way
Such a beast. Love this guy.

Whoever was in charge of the music had good taste
very good very good!
I'm waiting for you to live in Japan!
