My favorite Alex G song. The first verse of lyrics are just so beautiful, and I’m sure everyone can relate to them.

“What’s a couple grand rolled up in your pocket? I wont tell nobody Baby, you don’t tell nobody. I have done a couple bad things(…)” One of my favourite verses ever as barebones as it seems

something darker always lurks beneath even the most catchy Alex G songs

[@erikerikerikerikerik]

im glad someone else feels this way. i love the way he can write a catchy upbeat song and yet inject a bit of unease into it. so much more interesting that way.

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

Please elaborate?

[@GriffinJenningsMusic]

This song is really sweet and catchy but the I have done a couple bad things is pretty twisted in a way that suggests darker themes

[@N.slash.A.]

I meeean… he’s literally singing about a drug runner lol

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

@@N.slash.A. How are you arriving at that conclusion? The title? I thought it might be an athlete? Seriously. "My runner, my man." I thought it was about a relationship with a same-gender athlete. Consequence of less-than-direct lyrics. -The Music Fan Man

[@08bourquem]
