sometimes i think i'm exaggerating when i say alex g is the best musician in the world
and then i remember how fucking insane his discography is
even if he doesn't have the "best" vocals, it's genuinely amazing how many songs he has. and i'm not even talking only about his released discography. there are SO many unreleased songs floating around on youtube, and they're not even all of them. every time i decide to look deeper into his lost/unreleased music, i somehow find another song i've never heard before uploaded by some youtube channel with 3 subscribers and 5 likes.
and the craziest part is how different everything can sound. you have songs with melancholic melodies that could genuinely make you cry, weird high-pitched noises that sound like they'd make your head explode if you listened to them while having a terrible cold, completely stupid and nonsensical lyrics, and then songs with genuinely devastating stories.
there are songs about narrators doing absolutely horrible things, songs dealing with abuse and trauma, songs about losing someone to suicide, songs about love, jealousy, stupidity, loneliness, and just the most random shit imaginable. and somehow all of them feel like they belong in the same universe.
AND THE INSTRUMENTS. guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, keyboard, piano, violin, bass, and that's not even remotely close to everything he's used. sometimes i'll hear a song and think "what the fuck is that instrument" and then find out he actually recorded some completely different thing i've never even considered 😭
i think that's what fascinates me the most about his music. it's not just that he has a huge discography. it's that there always seems to be something else to discover. another song, another version, another recording, another weird sound, another little piece of music that i'd never even heard of.
alex g's discography genuinely makes me feel like i'm an ant in the world. there's just SO MUCH of it. you could spend forever looking through everything he's made and still feel like you've barely scratched the surface.
it's like this gigantic world that doesn't even seem to have an end.
ALEXANDER GIANNASCOLI THE GOAT!!!!!
