I know a guy down my street, he's a drug dealer. He's 17. Two weeks ago I found him on the bus passed out, drooling, totally unconscious, unresponsive. I helped get him off the bus and getting an ambulance. I left a note in his pocket begging him to get help. I saw his mom crying over his unconscious body. She's the person I felt the worst for.

I ran into him yesterday while skating, i told him I'm glad he's alive. Then i remembered, he wouldn't remember me. Instead he just asked me if i wanted to buy some drugs. I told him nah, and I thought I'd mention that I was there when he OD'ed and that i left the note, but i didn't, cuz i know the conversation would go exactly like the first verse of this song. Nothing compares to the fever dream.

But when you want to escape the fever dream, Ethan, I wait for you.

43 years old been a music collector since I was 12 and this has to be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

The "i wait for you" part makes me cry every time cause it reminds of the last day i saw my grandma, she said she would buy açaí (acai berries) for us to drink together, but because of the pandemic i ended up not visiting her for a whole month.
I still remember seeing my old brother down on his knees trying to comfort me after telling me that she had passed away.
I still feel guilty for not visiting her and for not saying a proper goodbye.

every part of this song is on purpose. the metronome at the start. the subtle ambient air noise in the breaks. everything is perfectly engineered to create a surreal and relatable soundscape. alex g is truly a musical wizard

[babybaby-zppx]

this is one of the most beautiful and nuanced love song i've ever heard. true love is accepting people for who they are. meeting them where they are at. trying to help them as you can but never forcing. but that also means that sometimes you lose. when you can't stop someone from doing whatever it is they're going to do. even if it means they disappear from your life. and sometimes, all you can do is try to control yourself. and sometimes, all you can do is wait

seeing this live would change the whole trajectory of my life in a good way

The picture is from a description of Dante’s inferno, the wood of the suicides, the souls who killed themselves turned into trees.

the fact so many people are here listening to this song, all suffering through the same pain. it makes me feel a little less alone

[zombb]

Alex g always makes my brain fuzzy in the best way. Their songs help me fall asleep when everything's complicated everywhere, simplifying into shapes and colors in my mind's eye. It's real peaceful, fr. I recommend that for anyone who's having trouble sleeping and likes Alex g, especially if they're neurodivergent.

This song gets me staring at my ceiling, after crying about everything and makes me wonder about life. I can still fill the warm and fulfilling tears run down my red cheeks and stop at my lips, giving me a salty taste.Sometimes, I jogged through the empty town that still hold memories even though those memories are mostly bad. I held a tear back while writing this. This song has saved me most of my times and I would like to thank the artist for making this masterpiece❤

My city has had a power outage and storms for the last few days and i've spent most of it my room listening to alex g unreleased and reading books. I can see myself spending months like this.

i apologise for the person ill become once this is on spotify

[stane]

Fuck man I miss my friend. I still see him all the time, but he is just a shell of what he used to be. Its the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen and felt.

[Erhstvs]

This song always makes me think of my mum who lost her battle with her mental health back in 2015 and took her life. I often feel like she is the only one that would understand what I was going through if she was still here

[doggiessaybark]

this song reminds me of a very specific couple of months in the spring of my senior year of high school right before graduation and it is so bittersweet. seven years later and i rediscover it and feel a bit like a 17 year old again :)

[evelazquez]

[pj.]

Recently, I was in a situationship with a guy. He made me feel loved in more ways anyone else ever did. The way he looked at me with with certain look in his eyes like he was simply taking me in like a work of art. He made me feel safe and secure. I was beginning to truly feel happy with him and his affection. He cut off the situationship due to his own mental issues and feeling he was unable to give me what I wanted, which was a relationship in the future. I promised him I won't wait... but I truly love him more than anything. I will wait, but it all hurts so much. I Am falling apart. this is the only song able to capture my emotions in the form of a song.
