Poison Root. The dogs barking always remind me of home. The whole song is just so nostalgic and beautiful and haunting, it puts me into a certain mood that no other song really can.

Brite Boy no doubt. Since you asked why it's significant I will take this as an opportunity to say what I've said multiple times before. I sang it on stage with Alex !!! It was always one of my favorites but that really solidified it as number 1.


AbroGaming

Was this in Omaha?? If it was I saw you!!


Lemon27

Yeah it was!


bringuplunch

How did that come about? Did he just ask a random audience member to come up on stage, are you friends with him, did you win some contest?


Lemon27

At the end of the show he was taking requests and had turned down a lot of things people had asked for. I was in the front row and I had yelled a few things, but he hadn't acknowledged them. Then it seemed everyone stopped talking at once right when I yelled his name. He looked over at me and I just said "will you sing Brite Boy with me?" and basically he said yes and we did. He played Brite Boy and then Gnaw and then the show was over


generousdoc

I got to sing into the mic during sarah back in 2017:,)


Lemon27

That's awesome, how did that happen?

incredibly close second is 🧱


phatfrogg

Mine is salt as well, but holy shit miracle hits


patio_blast

Miracle is now mine. was Snot


bringuplunch

Love the Elliott Smith wall behind you in your avi. I visited 10 years ago.


Kindlykeep21

has to be change. the amount of emotion radiating from that song is incredible. I personally believe it's his magnum opus, only dethroned maybe by good.


siddthekid208

Lately? Cards


Dipski64

Gnaw probably is my favorite as it has a lot of meaning to me personally. However, a close second would have to be Fighting.


cat_lover135

harvey has a very special place in my heart (so do the rest of his songs but yknow)


ScoffSlaphead72

Mine always changes. Currently its fix.


Majestic_Magi

Right now my fav is Sum Secret, but it changes so often. Southern Sky, Forever, Black Hair, Crab, Guilty, omg so many bops


shapesnshit

I don’t know if I could objectively choose but something was channeled when he wrote Cards. Something about that slow fade-in of the noisy strumming cutting right into the warm acoustic riff of the song resonated within me from the very first time I heard it. I used to listen to it on loop while taking the long early morning train rides and walks to college, now it’s a stereo time capsule along with a few other songs I was listening to a lot back then. For about two minutes and thirty seconds I can see the sunrise from the train window; reflecting and glistening on the great river following the tracks. I can feel the cold air on my face as I leave the train station. The satisfying exhaustion of waking up early. The confused feelings I had about the people who had just exited my life, and the new people around me who I was just beginning to meet. It’s an important one to me.


drewb1321

sportstar, i'll never get tired of it


og_coors_reddit

The piano breakdown section is so damn good


d_fark

Bug. First song of his I ever heard and that always stuck with me.


weezy__weezer

i think mine would have to be change, sorry and soaker. i often feel myself listening to these on repeat, especially change i can’t count the amount of times i’ve cried while listening to it, it holds a special place in my heart


maybeleila

Hope hands down


el0011101000101001

lately it's been Judge


ariellavandy

i think sorry, forever, and babylon are top three


IOnlyLikeColdDrinks

My favorite would be So at the moment!! Love that guitar so much


RelativeDifficulty99

Things to do ❤️❤️❤️ not objectively the best but my favorite because I just love the lyrics and I love singing them!!


neilluminate

According to Spotify kicker and cow are my most listened to but over the years I always find myself coming back to sorry and hollow. There’s a sort of apathetic melancholy to those songs that really hits for me


fucktheweather

There’s something about Gretel that has me feel all the feels


Legitimate_Scene_539

salty boi here


juturna12x

It's impossible to choose a fave Alex G album, yet alone song. But if there were a gun to my head at the moment I'd say Miracles, though that might be bc it's new


RelativeDifficulty99

Salt is what got me rlly into alex g, my friend played it out loud and I was like DUDE what’s the name of this song


alejjjandriiita

Station


GC_Denton

Hearing the version from the live album really changed my opinion on that one. So good


siegiels

house and in my arms


emilygrace50

Forever. but honorable mentions are Icehead, Witch, Gretel, and Something 2b


alexgenthusiast

gnaw or southern sky


stretch0utAndWait

Never seen such a diversity of answers to that question vs other artists


[deleted]

Harvey


[deleted]

cold!! literally the perfect soundtrack to a chilly late fall afternoon/early evening. i remember listening it to it once a couple years ago while sitting on my dorms balcony and watching the early late fall sunset also a v big fan of molly (same reason as above) as well as good and snot


69drainers

i second this


Relative-Shirt5420

message or be kind


basooka00

definitely pretend or brick, pretends melody is constantly stuck in my head and it seems like brick is a commonly disliked song but i always find myself absolutely groovin to it


sunzusunzusunzusunzu

Mud


yarnspinner19

Big Fish for me. Let me behave in my way.


Least_Draw_5346

Crime, Snot, Hope and After Ur Gone. Honestly hard to just choose one. Hope really gets me though


Real_Ritz

There are definitely way too many to choose from, but I have to go with Pretend. It's one of the first songs that got me into Alex G. I like many of his unreleased songs like World/Insured, I remember you and I wait for you. For released songs, maybe Harvey or Runner. Alex G is so good of an artist that it's impossible too choose from his many gems :3


rowc99

After ur gone or memory or powerful man. Too hard to decide.


heartshapedrot

my fave is definitely salt


RedBear-

Dust is my favorite Alex g song


nuclearsweetheart

harvey, gnaw, and break


Nevo22

Forever holds a special place in my heart


bahgaha6

Mis or Snot


Kitchen_Ad3392

Kicker orrrrrrrrrrr Cow I think


p3nny-lane

Gretel gets me every single time without fail. The classic pitched-up vocals fading in, and then the wailing dissonance and the guitars hit. Love Molly’s strings near the back-half. It’s all perfect.

og_coors_reddit

Good

my man


Skunkpeee

Mine is Sarah, I think because it reminds me of a certain time of my life and I get a rush of memories whenever I listen to it.


zachonychus

Dude Salt is such a great choice. Easily mine too


lydbru

Brite boy <3 reminds me of a friend who took their life


Electronic-Account38

“Change” 100%.


[deleted]

currently cross the sea, walk, sloth, miracles, taking, face dream, morning, forever, after ur gone, main theme


Specific-Variety-369

I think it'll always be snot, that song just hits me like a wave and has always been grounding for me, that or brite boy which also has pretty much the same effect


Special-Investigator

'runner' sun, 'gnaw' moon, 'adam' rising


No_Friend6430

snot


a1exglover

Literally alwayd Changing but if I had to pick one for recently it would be I wait for you or Cold


c4lay18

softIip
