(Tw for sh) Bad day at work. Felt like the only people I loved hated me. I go home and lock my door, planning on hurting myself for the first time that night. My brother knocks on the door. "Wanna hang out in my room?" I say yes. We hung out until 2AM listening to Alex G and Carseat Headrest, and at that moment, I felt loved. He was the reason I was able to have the will to wake up the next morning. Now, every time I hear this nostalgic indie music, I remember that moment, and I feel okay. Thanks Owen.

Alex G's Race is one of the most incredible albums that I have heard in my lifetime. It's something about the creativity of each and every song. It brings you to a specific place just by the first three chords and when you realize you are involve in something bigger than you can imagine. His magnum opus if I had to say. Moved in every way and by every song. It somehow fits so well hearing this songs put together, although you cannot see a pattern or a defined genre in his music. It feels like being a kid again, and hearing music for the first time. It truly feels like a race. Are you really there?

this whole album sounds like a large hole in your chest. the empty feeling, the feeling like someone or something is just missing. you try to breathe in, but the air cannot fill the emptiness that stubbornly proceeds to say that someone/something you lost a long time ago is the only thing that will patch it. that hole sits there for eternity. no matter how many tears that start from your eyes and end at the the dent-in pit in your chest, no matter how many times you meet a sweet new someone or discover something better than what you lost, no matter who or what is comforting you and telling you ¨you can find so much better¨,¨im so sorry that happened¨ or ¨im here for you¨, no matter how much fun you go out and make with the things/people you love and appreciate, you can't seem to take your mind off the piece that's missing and won't heal or even scar/scab. you know this thing you miss so much was horrible for you, but the trauma of it either just won't leave you alone, or you want what you had with it back (not completely getting why either).

AYO THIS IS ON SPOTIFY AND APPLE MUSIC AND U CAN BUY THE VINYL LIFE=COMPLETE
Was bored in my room, went online to see what was on in manchester, saw 'Alex G' was playing just an hour before it started, listened to one song, decided to go on my own. Best decision of my life.
You look really good in you profile picture, Emma.
this made me lol
You do 2, girl. don't wurry.
good to read this comment. I'm going alone to see Built to Spill...Alex G is opening. I hope it's this guy and not the female pop singer with the same name...
I saw him with Built To Spill as well, although I originally went for Alex and ended up getting into Built To Spill. It's gonna be a good show don't worry

(Tw for sh) Bad day at work. Felt like the only people I loved hated me. I go home and lock my door, planning on hurting myself for the first time that night. My brother knocks on the door. "Wanna hang out in my room?" I say yes. We hung out until 2AM listening to Alex G and Carseat Headrest, and at that moment, I felt loved. He was the reason I was able to have the will to wake up the next morning. Now, every time I hear this nostalgic indie music, I remember that moment, and I feel okay. Thanks Owen.
I thank the lord for creating Owen's soul. He sounds like a great brother. God bless bro, I hope you have a good life despite the struggles.

Alex G's Race is one of the most incredible albums that I have heard in my lifetime. It's something about the creativity of each and every song. It brings you to a specific place just by the first three chords and when you realize you are involve in something bigger than you can imagine. His magnum opus if I had to say. Moved in every way and by every song. It somehow fits so well hearing this songs put together, although you cannot see a pattern or a defined genre in his music. It feels like being a kid again, and hearing music for the first time. It truly feels like a race. Are you really there?
you should listen to When you see yourself by Kings of leons
You should listen to happiness by starry cat
I discovered this in 2020. Kinda crazy how long it takes to find good things.
You should listen to Beach Music by him. His best album in my opinion.
2021 for me
Winner is my favorite album
winner, monsterhead, and this album are his best albums I think
Welcome to the Alex G cult
This album feels like being in junior high school when you're outside on recess and you feel really hot and sticky. I can feel waves of quills coming up out of my arms.
you had recess in high school?
@@shedtheory1224 junior high
crab just gives me this nostalgia of a life i didn't have
maybe it was never yours to have 0__0
i love race so much. i could seriously write forever about how each song affected my life and all the memories attached to them. i love music
same here. this album is larger than life
i can't believe how young alex was when he made the best album of all time
how old was he?
@@alfonsotrevino9641 17 i guess
Alfonso Treviño he was 14
@@Isaac-jd6vr I read on vice it was recorded when he was 13, released when he was 14
@@wbgh nope he was 8
gnaw makes me think of an old friend who i can't help but miss very much, despite everything that happened.
I feel ya man
Funny bc I have a friend who showed me that song, and he fits that description.
These songs make me so uncomfortably comfortable while a erie nostalgia hangs in over me so much happiness and sadness that I don’t know I had in me come out it’s so raw and beautiful
Matthew Frawley exactly my friend, exactly
So true
Art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed 😳
shut up, moron
I think tearful paragraphs are better with no punctuation I love it thank you
this whole album sounds like a large hole in your chest. the empty feeling, the feeling like someone or something is just missing. you try to breathe in, but the air cannot fill the emptiness that stubbornly proceeds to say that someone/something you lost a long time ago is the only thing that will patch it. that hole sits there for eternity. no matter how many tears that start from your eyes and end at the the dent-in pit in your chest, no matter how many times you meet a sweet new someone or discover something better than what you lost, no matter who or what is comforting you and telling you ¨you can find so much better¨,¨im so sorry that happened¨ or ¨im here for you¨, no matter how much fun you go out and make with the things/people you love and appreciate, you can't seem to take your mind off the piece that's missing and won't heal or even scar/scab. you know this thing you miss so much was horrible for you, but the trauma of it either just won't leave you alone, or you want what you had with it back (not completely getting why either).
I can say that some sort of "empty nostalgia" pinpoints how I feel when I listen to this album. Alex G seems to be one of the only musicians that can fully bring sound to the ways I feel. It's so strange.
from today i’m doing what i want. i’m being who i want. this album just means a lot to me and it makes me want to be better.
this comment makes me so happy
hell yeah man go for it
Alex G was the soundtrack for my youth between 16 and 18 (I'm almost 21 years old btw) Every time I listen to him so many memories come up and I just feel that time in my life so heavy again
you're still young lol 21? baby.
@@marcopivetta7796 yes, I am still young but my teenage years are more or less over and the songs by Alex G were part of it! I should have use the word 'teenage years' instead of 'youth', that's right!
@@velouriafiction5000 stay young at heart, bud, and keep this lovely music with you, too!
Woah hey you’re me in 4 years, is 17, been listening since 16
@@oscarwag9885 You're me in 1 year, I'm 16, just started listening to alex g and feeling like he's going to be my favourite musician :)
This dude almost slept at my house when he was on tour. My friend's phone number is in his phone. Not super impressive but hey, I still cried from joy
When I saw him at a show he asked if he could stay at someone’s house
@@katielewis2144 he is a mysterious person, I can never be sure when he's joking or when he's being serious.
alex g slept at my house in 2018 and the couch still smells like him
@@TheKirapwner alex g doesnt smoke weed
@@katielewis2144 you'd expect him to have enough money from his music career to stay at a hotel/motel or something like that, i wonder why he chose staying with tour attendants.
I can't express how much I fucking love this album. Every song runs into the next one so perfectly and it russles my jimmies so right
i'll never get over this album.
My ex & i used to listen to this and Trick on repeat back in like 2013. It brings back some painful memories now, but i don’t think this album will never leave me. It’s too perfect to leave behind i feel like it’s buried deep in my subconscious at this point
alex g saved my life
hi
When you fall asleep with the window open anything can happen
I keep on coming back to this album as a reminder of where I finally started my life.
Hey, it’s me again 3 years later from my first comment. Using this album as a marker on where my life started getting better is what keeps me here. Just something about it, something
this is exactly how i feel too
There something very positive about this album. Maybe that why so much heaven is visible on the cover^-^
@@UnusualShrimp can't imagine how strange it is to read this now
I keep finding myself here.
i can't believe he made this at 17 i feel so behind in everything
everyone will start and end somewhere. enjoy the way there, and focus on being you and experiencing life!
He was 16 actually
this is one of the best albums ever made. he was so young. never fails to blow my mind
A song doesn't have to be slow to be sad. This entire album proved that to me
Now that this album is older, it feels painfully nostalgic. It makes me a bit sad, even though I wasn’t happy at the time I’d listen to it. But for a moment I can feel what almost 10 years ago felt like. I don’t want to go back, but there is something sad about knowing you never can go back.
i listened to this in the end of 2015, and since then i`ve been discovering a lot of different albuns and stuff, but i swear, i swear that i will never listen something as good as this . the feelings that this shit gave me are something that i`ll never be able to reciprocate. thank you, alex g
try Coma cinema
I feel the same! After all these years, I come back to Alex G (especially for the 'Race' album) and I get the same or at least similiar feelings again which I had when I listened to it from 2015 on.
@@leonardomonarca8073 it aint the same!
@@maxgmail587 no, they aren't. But I love them, I was searching something with a sound (maybe more a low-fi taste) like coma cinema (or something from Mathew Lee Cothran) and when I discovered Alex g I enjoyed his music. Give them a second chance, they don't let you down
@@leonardomonarca8073 Will do! Got any particular tracks to recommend?
and this is the only reason I'll breathe today

Way to find a hidden gem. Alex G is amazing.
His music is so universal like watching waves on a beach. Theres just that feeling that everything is exactly how its supposed to be no matter how fucked up it seems
My favorite part about loving music is, when I hear certain songs, I remember the feelings I had at that time. Like the first time I listened to Sarah, I know that when I'm older, I'll hear that song and remember the endless days staring at my computer doing online school, holding back tears from loneliness, peaceful nights where all I want to do is sleep but I can't help but stay up and think of all the good times I had before everything went bad.
I've only ever heard Alex G's unreleased stuff from a folder I downloaded. Decided to check out his actual releases tonight. Not disappointed.
I hate it when I'm searching for an Alex G song and all that appears is that Alex G chick. ugggghhh
+Sarah Sarita That makes so much more sense. I had never listened to either, but I was like this Alex G (chick) is not indie and terrible.
+Sarah Sarita relatable
+Sarah Sarita good luck Sarah.
right! fuck that bitch.... i totally would. but fuck her music
Jake Carroll chill
got to meet him last summer nd he was so chill! love this album
Growing up with him as my little brother and having him as my drummer when he was at least 8 years old was definitely a chill moment and an awesome X factor !!
wish he played more of these songs at shows!
Still my favorite Alex g album behind trick
this album is literally one of my favourite albums ever so sad i cant get it on cd definitely a 10/10 album. hits like a brick, especially with the thought that he released this when he was about my age. crazy.
Alex g por favor devuelvenos race a spotify😭
i had a fever then listened to this album and got better , i think it was a stress induced fever..
i hope when this covid thing is all over I get to see alex g live. i'm so glad i discovered him last year.
was so happy that he had a tour but i got sad when he wasn’t performing in the west coast
@@israelcastelan4012 same i’m on the west coast too :((
It’s so weird and beautiful to me that my daughter who is 14 now is discovering the music that meant the absolute world to me when she was just an infant.
14 years old right here! - this is so cute im gonna cry
@@loscamplucy 🥹same 😭
keeps bringing me back to some good ol days. love this dude , all the way from Costa Rica.
That’s awesome he’s got fans worldwide
Yoooo im from Costa Rica too. I wish people here appreciated this type of music.
@@flameward3708 yoo maria paz hit me up on instagram so we can chill one day! @kevinmejia
Alex G is just lightyears past his peers, so many other bands from our generation that i love but nobody is touching Alex G on any level, it blows me away.
this album makes me so happy i have never listened to or related to a musician more :-)
I hope one day I can say I’ve listened to every single Alex G song
this really is one of the best albums i have ever heard
Well, I found some old footage of my high school and was looking for the perfect music to accompany it. Looks like I've found it.
Man I'm so glad alex got the attention to his music that he deserves. This is one of the most beautiful albums of all time. 10yrs ago I knew he was something special, glad everyone sees that now too.
Listen to this every day.
Btw, I love Alex G, reminds me of my dear Elliott Smith
Sarah Sarita Elliott Smith is amazing
ikr
Alex G is like Elliott Smith meets 90's era Modest Mouse, and it's so incredible!
has the songwriting ability but none of the musicianship
he said in an interview elliot is one of his idols haha
Race with your only feeling that makes life amazing cause of you and everyone else life is pure !

Literally just found Alex G 45 minutes ago. I didn't realize I was missing this so badly :'(
its on spotify now. thank you for your service
Met a girl at the airport that recommended this album MAC what a treat awesome talk -jesse
Listening to this feels like the gentle hum of radio static in the background as you nestle down to sleep in an abandoned motel. Just that liminal, eerily comfortable and nostalgic feeling that you get from being displaced in a comfortable way.
This album always makes me feel better
Very nostalgic album
"House" feels so nostalgic for some reason.
one of the all-time favs :)
Things to do hits the middle of my chest hard as fuck everytime, I suddenly remember every teenage memory all at once
i love this album it makes me feel the best i ever have
This band is one of the greatist bands of all time and their unknown
I hope they read the comments under this and their other albums on yt

Race is removed from spotify (prolly other music platforms as well) and i already miss it it had the best songs
Known him for 9 years. Still my favorite album.

Its 2AM and i didnt think id find much but theres a few songs on this album imma keep listening to. KZheads life
I JUST remembered that this album existed. Nostalgia
This album is like a really good lullabye to me right now

I downloaded this album when I was thirteen (I think),, I’m 16 now and this album still hasn’t gotten old for me I fucking love this
