Watch your mouth, or I'll make you wash it out I will teach you to be good, Mary Cause after all you locked yourself, in a dream and all The very, very special things you've seen won't mean a thing And all your friends wanna sail around the bend But I won't let them take your wind, Mary And even still you got this far, but you're not there and all The little things that got you here won't get you anywhere So you be kind, and I will take you back through time I will take away your pain, Mary

Alex G is the most talented musician and songwriter of this generation

[@christophercastillo8278]

Facts

[@alsharpe]

So far

[@oldaccount5217]

That’s a nice opinion. I like his music too. But there’s so many people out there writing brilliant songs who simply don’t have the connections to have their music heard. Music is also subjective. I’d say Alex has been an important contributor to mainstream diy and he’s more capable than any I’ve seen as of yet.

[@vivito-]

That will be Mac.

[@kenziewfisher]

@@vivito- if you mean demarco, he’s a creep and his music isn’t even good. alex g is a great guy and incredibly talented, maybe not the best to some but he’s definitely way up there

[@Teen_Drama]

The composition skills of his are unlike others in the game. The writing is invocative, introspective and the chord progression is beautiful, especially the Fm-Bb7 part. Id put this next to Lennon's 'Julia' but that's only my opinion. Thats just how I feel this song's level is.
