Always forget how good the vocal melody in this song is

I am saddened by the fact that I am only now discovering your gorgeous music.

[@outbacknoir]

Alex G is on Domino now? Cool, hopefully he starts getting the recognition he deserves! Fantastic tune.

[@bunnydrinkingsomemilk4526]

I think I spotted a connection. In Alex G's music video for "Kicker", we see two young children, a boy with brown hair & a girl with short hair. The boy is seen visiting a hospital patient who is covered in bandages, who proceeds to gift the child a box with a heart printed on the top, containing a mess of hair which tangles in stop motion. The boy is later seen spying on the girl, but before he is able to engage with her socially, he is consumed by the box's magical spook hair. In this video, we see an adult male displaying childish vibes through his unkempt hair clothing as well as an adult female with a similarly casual style. The two share a bed & the male is later seen visiting a burn victim, who gifts him an origami piece. The male proposes to the girl, but cancelled as he slides the ring off her finger. I think the boy from Kicker was encouraged to seek love by his injured relative. He finds a girl that he likes, but because he is not prepared, his heart / that weird hair junk stops him in his tracks. He grows up, reunites with the girl, one night stands and finds himself seeking guidance from the same relative from before. He is given another talisman which he uses to pursue the girl romantically... but because he is still not ready, he steps down.

Barely heard this album on a drive to Vegas! Best album for a long car drive. Makes you really think about our existence on this earth an all of the best memories of my life so far! Thanks alex G

its mainly due to the fact he plays guitar on blond!

I think of this song at random moments in my life. It took me three hours to find it this time. All I could remember was the title. 3 hours of searching later here I am. I didn't know there was a video for it. I don't know what triggers me needing to hear this song but when it happens I have to find it and listen to it 3-5 times.

[@Neosuburban]

Such a good song. I love the circle of chords.

Not sure if this was an influence at all, but I think I love this so much because it makes me feel the same way I did when I heard songs like Amputations for the first time by Death Cab back in the day.

People who are saying things about the video, obviously haven't seen any other of his videos. Lol

[@kane00000]

They just don't get it. It's about addiction. The couple is only together to do drugs and fuck. That's why they don't even look at each other before he goes and scores the heroin. Then they are both happy. Then after they come down they do the same thing tomorrow. Pretty sad video.

[@kane00000]

It's about the reputation of abuse. Shit gets bad then gets really really fucking good. But then the cycle repeats itself.

[@vapidbee]

If anyone says this music video isn't art, you should instantly devalue their opinion and them, they don't understand how to accept things for what they are, or art for that matter.

[@failinginamerica]

I would argue that one who cares to rigidly enforce what 'art' is and isn't and force it onto others doesn't understand what art is.

I DL'd MM's 1st album cos of all the references to them with Alex G ... but I found it... I dunno.. shit! Is there a better album you would recommend or is that it? I tried Duster too who ppl also compare Alex to and also wasn't impressed. As for Elvis.. well I prefer Presley. The Cat King.

My interpretation: This song is about Scumbag drug Dealers with no conscious/morality about ruining kids lives with drugs, all he cares about is being paid and since life is so bad he doesn't care who he take down with him Just another bug in the crosshair.
