[@suckerfree23]

The authenticity of Maggie is immediately apparent

[@privateristo4051]

Truer words were never spoken.

[@Chief]

Love her, such a unique talent. Songwriter, musician, producer

[@BlockchainDaddy]

No chill!

[@MostMorose]

I'm proud of this comment section for not being toxic good job y'all.

[@consideration3015]

Veruc Ikr, it is profound just like the rest of her songs she wrote. You should go check them out! They're great!

[@vermintky]

Veruc so fucking what? you jealous? if not, shut the fuck up then.

[@KoolGNasBlackThought]

I would drag my... nvm

[@jaketadla6823]

I wish you'd do Ben Howard's Keep You Head Up as well. Thanks and all the best!

[@esarcilla]

Veruc, her kind of talent doesn't come from a shallow environment like you described. If she did or didn't have some things paid for her, who fucking cares, she's clearly humble.

[@EuphoricSupply]

She's the future. I love her for her and for her musical talents.

[@ElVecinoRuidoso]

Had the music video dropped right after the Pharrell interview video went viral, Alaska could have hit the Billboard Top 10...

[@isrialclark]

El Vecino Ruidoso I believe it could've been. I guess it just wasn't meant to happen.

[@Pishapost]

I have no doubt she will make it there now

[@IHMadeThis]

Love all the music I've heard from her so far. It's just a bonus that she has the personality of a girl I would have a crush on. Can't wait to hear more from her.

[@JinxyVision]

Rob Johnson I can't wait for more from her when she feels that inspiration again. I absolutely love this song. I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. It's lovely.

[@JinxyVision]

What does her being a lesbian have anything to do with my comment ...???? And honestly if I were to guess she likes the d but has munched a carpet before.

[@fabiogermanotto5465]

why is the sexual orientation so important anyways?

[@JinxyVision]

That's my question too.

[@muszeuhs]

jeff b you're an idiot. P.S. the vids you watched about how to pull of a fedora didn't work, you look ridiculous

[@HectorSalamnca]

Alaska is such an amazing song. You can't even understand the words but they carry so much weight.

[@formula1facebookfan]

this girl is so cool

[@Zoubimusic]

Wow, speaking on this depth of personal honesty takes guts. It touched my heart. True art!

[@kyndalalex9125]

I love this song so so so much

[@pascalrp7664]

Her music has changed my life. Wow. Talk about a breath of fresh air.

[@markstelle9402]

Just discovered her last night. And boy am I glad I did. I love her. She's amazing

[@N3WY0R1CAN]

Thanx for the break down love this song can't wait for u to get even more big so I can c u in concert....keep up the good work maggie

[@TheLove2surf]

Awesome to hear her explanation of such an incredibly visual and light song. Fabulous! Thanks Maggie!!! This... and Dog Years.. keep it coming. You have a solid fan base!!! And PS... Could not agree more with Pharrell... you have a sound unlike any other. It is unique and an uplifting and inspiring breath of fresh air.!!!

[@zachogan6255]

[@cassandrakasper2973]

Karabo ManneZA yesss!

I want to be best friends with Maggie, tbh. 😂 I would love to see Maggie do another Genius interview for 'Dog Years'!! xoxo

[@FiloPixie]

Elly Barrett love that song

[@MTSpade]

god I wanna marry her, so freakin cute and free spirited, no pop star bs she just is who she is, love it

[@MTSpade]

Jeff B in other words you prefer ugly chicks? good to know

[@MTSpade]

Right. Maybe she just likes it? She can look how she wants

[@billbaxter2066]

[@Lou-wy1zy]

There's really something with alaska that changes some people, i could say that im one of it

[@stabbi420]

[@youngsuit]

the irony of that your song contextualized by giving up on music is the one that makes you huge

[@marooishere2801]

[@dropdeadclaire]

I peeped that picture on Ugly God's Instagram, y'all need to upload that now lmfao

[@mikayla776]

I really want Genius to have Rae Sremmurd on here and talk about Black Beatles

[@GaelissFelin]

the fact that she can say the words out loud without singing them and they sound like a poem...

[@MG-zy2xk]

I love Maggie, and her massive translucent aura!!! I mean really...she is aglow.

[@djcvnvndram6966]

I feel the same about hair

[@ArtemAsanov]

Was surprised about her in your video. So glad that Pharrell checked Maggie's song earlier, she's talented. Just listen her song and then comment 21 21 21

[@nxdal]

[@mc-yl9dp]

[@cheesecakelasagna]

[@tkdkatkdka6464]

[@ArtbyAtlas]

All girls have the same theory about hair. What happens when they break up with a guy? Haircut 😂

[@tm-rn5kz]

St. Andrew's School for the win.

[@TheInroad]

This is cool.

[@zzpd7158]

sun never sets in summer(northern part) , sun is up for 5 hours in winter,

[@xWIREDOGx]

If you’ve ever been to Alaska you know she didn’t write this brilliant song from an imaginary place.

[@alyssawoodman]

I love natural girls like this!

[@heidiharrison8088]

🧚

[@mahessick]

I often forget to breathe

[@stratdaddy]

Straight red eyelids

[@Theslammedcruze]

Not to be mistakes as Shaggy Rogers

[@eight2seven]

HAHAHA I was like yo she's really into her own song, that's awesome, it's hard for me to be satisfied with my own songs... then I watched this and now it all makes sense.

[@brianphilips1092]

i have no notes

[@kaylaphillips8648]

The sun sets, during the dead winter... spring and summer is when it doesn’t set.. facks. Lol

[@elchanancohen2673]

why didnt she sing it? she has an amazing voice

[@domesday1535]

The sun never sets on the Alaskan Empire. . . . In Summer, at least.

[@sidtv2542]

Is she related to Shaggy Rogers?
