Imagine the reaction of the man when a boy with a leather jacket and sunglasses risponds "Cheers Dude" after he literally performed probably the most poethic song that could ever hear 😭

[lorenzoarbia]

“The type of kisses... where teeth collides”
Man this lyrics, tho sentence in particular move me every time

[bowtiesncoolnes]

For all the people who say "Oh, he's such a douchebag now, with his leather jacket and sunglasses" - That's just his style! His fashion sense.
He's obviously still the sweetest thing on earth.

[lizziebennetevr]

"That's a beautiful song!"
Alex: "Cheers, dude!"
x'D It's literally impossible to not love this man.

[aiyacharlene]

the reason why i especially love this guy is because of his voice. its real and raw

[joethoughhhHD]

"beautiful song"
"Cheers dude"

[viniciuscruzcampos]

The emptiness that the song gives me when it ends is only fulfilled when I play it repeatedly.

[dmodzdan]

incase you haven't noticed, he's the exact same person as he always has been, his style changes to suit each album they release.

[cait]

Alex wears his glasses inside because he keeps his eyes closed while he is singing. He's not doing it to be disrespectful or anything.

[geekiegirl]

I really don't think he's trying to be douchy or arrogant. I think he acts like that because he's just shy and he always seems extremely uncomfortable during interviews. I think that he just likes to avoid the spotlight and he probably just doesn't know how to act when someone praised him or gives him attention. Beside that, amazing song :)

[makeme]

He sounded so good, not like other singers today who sound terrible when you hear them live

Lyrics:
Topless models
Doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by
And get ignored

Illuminations
On a rainy day
When she walks her footsteps sing
A reckless serenade

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine

The type of kisses
Where teeth collide
When she laughs the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby

Those twinkling vixens
With a shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine

I left my message but did he forget back to me
And now I'm stuck here wondering
How it's meant to be

Singing a reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

[vithoriabatista]

His voice takes me to another universe

[muhgtrasd]

This is why I keep sharing my excitement and pride for one of the most innovative bands ever. They really steered music towards a new era, they've been an influence and a reference for whoever tried to enter music and to access a strict audience without the heaviness and confusion mainstream often determines. I think that a band like this deserved to attain a wider audience, thoroughly and deeply considered as the founders of a personal style (they don't want to base their sound on typical chorus or medleys). When you listen to Arctic you slowly grasp what music should give off: inspiration, sentiments, self-esteem and peace as well. The artist you look for should be irreplaceable, he should suit all of your sentiments and be proper to communicate both sides of the medal (happiness and sadness). Just for the record, Alex keeps up with the great work in TLSP too.
