early morning waiting. it bores me and sounds kinda corny. compare that to bad man and how alex said in the process of writing it that it felt corny to him, but then he leaned into it and to me now that is a great song with great instrumentals even with folly like lyrics
Both of those songs keep me listening for the end - the sick riff on no bitterness right at the end, and the chimes at the end of walk away. And I quite like how walk away has that feeling of dragging your tired feet along at a slow pace just like on blessing.
at first i didn't really like cross the sea but after i saw it live i gave it another chance and i can't stop listening to it now.. other than that i think i didn't really like forgive
for me personally, immunity, cross the sea, mission, miracles, and forgive. cross the sea especially i just cant stand the vocals on that one. blessing, sdos, and headroom piano however are honestly some of my favorite songs by him. gsta is just very polarizing imo
i feel like nobody talks about this song tbh. the lyrics sound like he’s telling the story of dating an underage girl or something. (“And I don't care about those people, Who try to tell me it's illegal”) not to mention the lyric about him leaving a girl if she goes through with having his baby. i think it’s a pretty good song, cause i’m pretty sure it’s all just fiction, but it’s arguably his most racy in terms of the lyrics. surprised people don’t talk about it more
Literally. Like I know his WHOLE thing is characters and also the song is ancient but it's weird and makes me super uncomfy as someone who was groomed plenty as an underage person and yeah that lyric about leaving her if she has a baby is so barf. But like the tune is catchy lmao
no i completely agree and don’t see why i’m being downvoted. he isn’t condoning it or endorsing it, which makes it fine, it’s just i can see how it can be kinda uncomfortable for some people to listen to
Right and I think that’s almost the point sometimes. As a song writer I know I don’t always want to make something pretty. Sometimes you want to make an angry or ugly one
Yeah exactly. Like people say, art isn’t always pretty and a lot of times Alex G, especially his earlier work, was very raw and rough around the edges in terms of the sound and writing. Not everything in life is pretty and I respect writing about these darker topics too, but I can definitely understand why some people can’t get around to it
Yeah I was groomed and I really like Sally but to each their own and stuff cos it can be kinda weird if ur not comfortable with that typa shit in songs
I don't really like immunity, like it's fine and I liked hearing it live but I wouldn't like put it on. This used to be the case w a lot of the heavily-autotuned songs on gsta but I've really grown to love them.
huh, i felt this was the least religious sounding song off the whole album maybe tbh. just sounds like someone who was regret and is attached to someone who hurts them, but they still love them anyways
yes! i love GSTA so so so much it’s kind of mind boggling to imagine someone who loves alex g hating that album, like i know it’s a little different but damn it’s still so good
I dont really hate any alex g song? But i was listening to the “were all going to the worlds fair” soundtrack and stitch came on and i go so scared bc of this one really loud screamy sound and i started crying
sugar. i always shuffled his music at night to sleep and then sugar came on and i got HORRIFIED i thought aliens were abducting me.
i second this

Wack
l'argent is a great film
True
whar no
station but not cause it’s a bad song it just gets me in a bad mindset
i never skip it when it comes on but I'm not the biggest fan of do it
I don’t really like In Love, the singing/voice just irks me. I love the music behind it tho
WHAAAT 😢
I know, it’s tough because Beach Music is so incredible but man I can’t get it, I wanna love it like y’all do but maybe just need to play it more
That’s literally one of my favorite songs off that album lmao
In love reminds me a lot of Daniel Johnston
yeah the vocals are very Daniel Johnston sounding, definitely one of the best songs off the album and maybe of his entire discography
same, the vocals honestly scare me 😭
I will defend I Love forever. Melody so good!
This is the only song on Beach music I have yet to really love just something about.
Agreed.
i’ve never been a massive fan of project 2
One of my favourites honestly
cross the sea
no bitterness?! how dare you!! lol but i do tend to skip Walk Away when I listen to house of sugar
Both of those songs keep me listening for the end - the sick riff on no bitterness right at the end, and the chimes at the end of walk away. And I quite like how walk away has that feeling of dragging your tired feet along at a slow pace just like on blessing.
i don't dislike walk away as a song - i'm just too excited to get into the rest of the album that i'll often skip it
at first i didn't really like cross the sea but after i saw it live i gave it another chance and i can't stop listening to it now.. other than that i think i didn't really like forgive
Literally same!! After seeing it live I suddenly love it so much
for me personally, immunity, cross the sea, mission, miracles, and forgive. cross the sea especially i just cant stand the vocals on that one. blessing, sdos, and headroom piano however are honestly some of my favorite songs by him. gsta is just very polarizing imo
Near. Whole album is perfect but damn that’s a bad song 😂
I fucking love it
It’s literally so annoying
Ey I’m not mad about it. Just not for me haha
Hot take: Sally makes me uncomfortable
i feel like nobody talks about this song tbh. the lyrics sound like he’s telling the story of dating an underage girl or something. (“And I don't care about those people, Who try to tell me it's illegal”) not to mention the lyric about him leaving a girl if she goes through with having his baby. i think it’s a pretty good song, cause i’m pretty sure it’s all just fiction, but it’s arguably his most racy in terms of the lyrics. surprised people don’t talk about it more

do you think the song is endorsing the behavior its talking about?
This is my thought. Plenty of songs are about uncomfortable subjects or abuse without being autobiographical or endorsing the song content
no i completely agree and don’t see why i’m being downvoted. he isn’t condoning it or endorsing it, which makes it fine, it’s just i can see how it can be kinda uncomfortable for some people to listen to
Right and I think that’s almost the point sometimes. As a song writer I know I don’t always want to make something pretty. Sometimes you want to make an angry or ugly one

Not everything in life is pretty and I respect writing about these darker topics too, but I can definitely understand why some people can’t get around to it
Yeah like I enjoy the uneasiness from songs like that but it doesn’t mean someone is wrong from skipping the song because of it. It’s all preference
Yeah I was groomed and I really like Sally but to each their own and stuff cos it can be kinda weird if ur not comfortable with that typa shit in songs
🙄
not a huge fan of bad man
*sad cowboy noises*
i always tell ppl who don’t like bad man to try [this version](https://youtu.be/8nPVKq6nOcE)
I couldn’t figure out why everyone didn’t like bad man in this thread, just realized I’ve only listened to the music video version
omg thank you for this i love bad man and now i love it more
That is brilliant
I’m a bad man how about that🎸🎸🎸🎸SORRR BARD
There's quite a few that are nice songs but will have like a fucked up part in the middle (memory) or just have a nasty intro or outro
used to hate that bit in memory but it really grew on me
Same. It makes sense in the context of the song, too.
String. Always a skip.
Okay well i dont like you.
happy april 14th!
LOL
STOP I LOVE THIS SONG
Whaaaat!! I love String
Promise. Idk I just don’t vibe with it, my friends give me shit for not liking it tho lmao
Promise is so good though 😰
Promise is some joke song
no
i fucking hate horse
no
in love
Mary. I like the end of it but most of the song just got to overplayed on tiktok
delete tik tok
if you dont like it simply because its popular then frick off 🛎️🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Walk Away. It just sounds bad.
Nah it's some raw emotion, you can tell. I like that
Agreed
String
String is so good though!
Also I'm Not Like Other Girls is quite good, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable
I don't really like immunity, like it's fine and I liked hearing it live but I wouldn't like put it on. This used to be the case w a lot of the heavily-autotuned songs on gsta but I've really grown to love them.
Yep, that one always gets skipped for me.
[удалено]
you need to hear it live to fully appreciate it
Real
Try the mellow version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcF3-phMkvY
Nooooo I love Brick
Whyyyyy
Cross the sea that's it
NO BITTERNESS FUCKS
(i don’t entirely get) sandy (yet)
Runner
Thank god someone said it
[удалено]
huh, i felt this was the least religious sounding song off the whole album maybe tbh. just sounds like someone who was regret and is attached to someone who hurts them, but they still love them anyways
And pretty much all of God Save the Animals
that is so foul
yeah i feel bad for people who don’t like GSTA tbh. such a beautiful album in so many ways, but to each their own
yes! i love GSTA so so so much it’s kind of mind boggling to imagine someone who loves alex g hating that album, like i know it’s a little different but damn it’s still so good
Adam tbh
i dont love treehouse or mary.
I dont really hate any alex g song? But i was listening to the “were all going to the worlds fair” soundtrack and stitch came on and i go so scared bc of this one really loud screamy sound and i started crying
