full lyrics: I heard a story the other day About a kid I knew who couldn't stay awake He was sleeping through my favorite movie I forget what it's called but I know it was moving And someone shakes him and he opens his eyes But his dreams have already taken over his mind He's yelling like somebody's causing him pain But there's nobody there but the things in his brain His mom took him down to a hospital Where they hooked up his head to this real awful machine Now he's laughing like something is funny He says that it's funny He think he's somebody Who walks along the universe And tells his God that nothing could be worse Than staying awake at this movie It's dumb and it's tough and it is really boring
Now that way that he dressed is like second thoughts And the bed sheets were wet when they came across your face And your body The light was so dirty like grey in the sky Made the rain look like pixels And i Stood on My knees With you While holding your face as your eyes withdrew They're shrouded in shadow Like you never did see me And now I'm left wondering Who am I holding?
you can never have listened to every alex g song. when you think you've heard it all theres always more. the rabbit hole never ends. you just keep falling through an endless array of alex g songs, the deeper the more depressive. it never ends. a never ending turmoil. you can't escape, once you're trapped theres no going back.
This feeling that the music gives, I can't describe how much I love these calmer songs by Alex, they become so unique... One of my favorites for sure...
I heard a story the other day about a kid i knew who couldn't stay awake he was sleeping through my favorite movie i forget what its called but I know that its moving then someone shook him and he opened his eyes but his dreams already took over his mind he's yelling him like somebody's causing him pain there's nobody there but the things in his brain his mom took him down to a hospital and they hooked up his head
I know many artists who say if they can’t execute their ideas they’d rather die. Because outside of art they have no social life, major mental illness, and an awful family Many that do attempt and survive run out of creativity. like they can’t think a thought anymore. Because your brain temporarily runs out of oxygen, or is being affected by the overdose. Ending in brain damage So they are left lost like deer roaming roads in fog. They’re left with the fear of death, but the urge for it. They end up with the embarrassment of who they are now and yearn for what they used to be. If you can’t enjoy the movie you created in your mind to give you hope in the first place; what’s the point?
it’s kind of unfortunate that this song reminds me of the worst time of my life because it’s incredibly beautiful but i can only stomach listening to it so much

I used to skip this song because I couldn’t find it as relatable or relevant to me as his other songs. Now I listen multiple times a day. I’m not happy about it though
he’s yelling like sombody’s causing him pain but there’s nobody there but the things in his brain
most beautiful & relatable thing i’ve ever heard. we’re our worst enemies
That profile picture is from Hey World! by King Krule right?
@@vicvic3604 YES :^)
Ok I like this
That line made me think of the song "Hey little girl"
full lyrics:
I heard a story the other day
About a kid I knew who couldn't stay awake
He was sleeping through my favorite movie
I forget what it's called but I know it was moving
And someone shakes him and he opens his eyes
But his dreams have already taken over his mind
He's yelling like somebody's causing him pain
But there's nobody there but the things in his brain
His mom took him down to a hospital
Where they hooked up his head to this real awful machine
Now he's laughing like something is funny
He says that it's funny
He think he's somebody
Who walks along the universe
And tells his God that nothing could be worse
Than staying awake at this movie
It's dumb and it's tough and it is really boring
i can’t believe i went years without hearing this. i feel so complete
why is this so underrated? i hope everyone who’s hurting finds this
it’s so smooth and ethereal
why do you hope everyone who's hurting finds this, so they feel worse?
@@mrlukeygify cuz it’s a beautiful song u dumb ass lmaoo
@@mrlukeygify so they feel understood
Idk I may never see them again
Now that way that he dressed is like second thoughts
And the bed sheets were wet when they came
across
your face
And your body
The light was so dirty
like grey in the sky
Made the rain look like pixels
And i
Stood on
My knees
With you
While holding your face as your eyes withdrew
They're shrouded in shadow
Like you never did see me
And now I'm left wondering
Who am I holding?
i think about your poems a lot. they’re everywhere, comments below so many songs i love. thank you.
I love yew
youre awesome
This has always been one of my favorite Alex G songs. I wish he did more in this tone.
Dan Brown love you my friend. One human, to the other.
This song is absolutely fucking gorgeous. I am blown away, these two need to collaborate again
literally bro. these lyrics are too fucking good for this world
Who’s the girl saying?
@@isaiahwilson8519 I think it’s Emily Yacina he sang a song called “treehouse” with her.
They collaborate all the time, She does a ton of the backup vocals on his albums including features on a few songs on his latest albums
Nothing could be worse than staying awake at this movie :(
Aye, aye.
Life
excuse me while I disassociate
this the one
Yea.
you so real for this
I can't believe I found another G song, I thought I'd heard all his songs already

tells his god that nothing could be worse
I heard a story
the other day
about a kid i knew
who couldn't stay
awake
he was sleeping through my favorite movie
i forget what its called but I know that its moving
then someone shook him
and he opened his eyes
but his dreams already took over his mind
he's yelling him like somebody's causing him pain
there's nobody there
but the things in his brain
his mom took him down to a hospital
and they hooked up his head
yasssss

Keep this song hidden from outsiders

is this your interpretation of the song
@@dieazepam1320 yes
i love him so much
Wow. .what a hidden gem
a kid i knew who couldn't stay awake
He was sleeping through my favorite movie
absolutely stunning song. some of the chord progression and overall sound reminds me of phemiec's stuff, I love it
why can’t this be on spotify I love this song sm 🙁❤
oops i kinda wrote a lot LMAO
Cherish it
local files?
it’s kind of unfortunate that this song reminds me of the worst time of my life because it’s incredibly beautiful but i can only stomach listening to it so much
I can relate to this song and it’s sad that I can…
I remember hearing this song in 2019 and I couldn’t find it but now I did
its crazy that you never stop discovering more of these shattering and ambiguous and absolutely beautiful alex g songs
the end of this song makes me sad
i love this so much
this is so soothing
omg i saw u in the falls apart comment section
@@daysweeksmonthsyears not surprising :)
solarized sighs like a dim escape
some stretch of pine
to wallow in hallows
this is so calming, i love it.
Used to sleep to this song, I feel sad now.
i sort of wish things would end like this
sewerslvt and alex g, i found my people

I love this song
Hidden gem 💎
splendid
this is all i think about
gave me chills
Meu deus, outra canetada do Alex G
How have I only just found this
I used to skip this song because I couldn’t find it as relatable or relevant to me as his other songs. Now I listen multiple times a day. I’m not happy about it though
I mean sometimes songs aren't about finding it relatable but just enjoying the art it is
this is so dang good
holy shit
Alex g is so good why isnt this song on spotifyy
Ouch
I love alex g
"...and tells his god that nothing could be worse than staying awake at this movie, it's dumb, and it's tough, and it is really boring."
this song sounds like a really good dream
💎
reminds me of master song by leonard cohen
Such a sad song. I wonder what is the back story about this one?
Definitely about mental health, the lines about laughing at God because he wants "this movie" off give me shivers
@@Shrekapoof45 pretty sure its about drug abuse
To me sounds like it’s about a suicide attempt
To me it sounds like someone suffering with dementia or schizophrenic episodes who wants to find their peace and is suffering mentally constantly
To me it just sounds like someone's suffering is being neglected or not taken seriously.
The only video I can find on Facebook. Any link to the actual “NOTHING” video the description claims this is From? :(
It’s the album right
aw damn did he take this off bandcamp? :(
🐰
wow
Donnie Darko?!
I love this song so much, i imaine its the son from here before by vashti bunyan, but something went beautifully wrong
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :-)
