Alec named his painting after his song “Boy in the Bubble”!!! 💞

[@Evgenia.10]

1:31 that's a fav 😂❤️ 'oh no'

ALEC IM IMPRESSED BY YOUR ART! LOVE YOU!😘 *OUR BOY IN THE BUBBLE* 🤣😍

[@sarah_r7088]

Alec named his painting after his song “Boy in the Bubble”❤️😍😁 Alec talks about the meaning behind the song on the Zach Sang show saying there was a kid who was a bully but came from a really tough place. He explained it by saying “Yeah, bully’s are bad and you shouldn’t let them get the best of you, but also understand where they’re coming from, and you don’t have to excuse them from what they’re doing, but sometimes it’s just interesting to think about it.” Alec is such a talented musician and I love him so much😍😁Lol I would cry if I won the painting😭😂

[@purvikhandelwal7973]

"It's not the sun it's a bug now, it's a happy bug...." Oh alec

[@LuneosMinecraft]

The boy in the bubble! Ive been following Alec ever since i heard one of his songs on Britan's got talent and found his channel. Hi music is so inspiring and his storytelling is so amazing to listen to he's honestly such a unique artist. He's also such a genuine guy in real life and he really values experiences. Would love this painting of his so much :)

[@allyr.8321]

Alec named his painting after the Boy in the Bubble!! The Boy in the Bubble is one of my personal favorites by him, but I also love Outrunning Karma, I Built a Friend, and Swim. All of his music is so genuine, and tells such a descriptive story. As someone who loves to write, I really appreciate his creative interpretation of music, and I hope to see him in concert one day. 🤙🏻💞

[@Mienarrr]

This is such an adorable interview idea! And I loved the questions you chose, not too invasive but still open-minded enough that the artists can talk freely for a while. Also it's so funny; I am the complete opposite to Alec when it comes to auditory-visual :D I can't recognize litte musical details to save my life, although his songs and many others still touch me somewhere really deep

[@Mrrowland]

Why is everybody talking about how Alec named his picture after his song the boy in the bubble? Jesus Christ. xD

[@JoytasticSarahCovers]

He named his painting after “Boy In a Bubble,” one of my favorite songs for sure 🤧💕

[@cheyenne_luvly2559]

The boy in the bubble 💛⭐️💛 also gotta absolutely love those art skills haha what a cutie 💛😊💛

[@selenaflows]

[@haleyprairie1042]

The Boy in the Bubble!!! I just met Alec when he did his show in Austin on April 2nd! It was so much fun and just overall one of the best nights I've ever experienced. I absolutely love his music. Between the lyrics that have so much meaning to them plus the beats and the music itself with it is just so beautiful. Overall hes just such an amazing musician. I hope I get to see him perform again!! He is so inspiring not only to me but to many other people out there. And in person hes such a funny, sweet guy. Him and his music mean so much to me and I cannot wait to see what else he produces in the future. 💕💕💕

“the boy in the bubble” I’m so sad i couldn’t see him in London! all because i’m only 5ft and i wouldn’t be able to see nothing 😩

[@makkapakka6552]

I love Alec and his music. You’d be absolutely crazy not to. I actually made a painting with a lot of my favourite songs, and ‘Boy in the Bubble’ was on there. So was ‘Outrunning Karma’. I honestly would have put a lot of his songs- but I wanted tp incorporate other artists.

[@tiffanyr8417]

The painting is named after his song The Boy in the Bubble!! ❤❤

[@ItsMayaNotMia1]

He names it after The Boy In The Bubble! I relate to the whole story behind this song and i've known Alec and his music since 2015/16 and he's come so incredibly far! i would die to win this canvas :)

[@singulieriti]

it’s obviously after the boy in the bubble , it would mean the world to me to win this. i’ve been listening to him ever since his soundcloud days, the first song i ever heard from him was the outrunning karma demo and just fell in love with it.

[@taylor.boutin]

i think this should be his new album art

[@ylvisophie6002]
