(Sandy) Alex G - Powerful Man Lyrics

when you realise this is actually based on alex's life..

I just spent the last two nights with one of my closest friends, friends (they share an apartment), and I listened to this for the first time since the record dropped the second morning after.

Totally unexpected, and I'm not sure why but this song felt really fitting.

Here's to good things. These lyrics are important.

Why the parenthesis sandy? 🤔

i’m bobby

FUCKIN A!

Defending your big brother before you can really grasp the horror of what he did. Having a naive perspective of what being a man is that you glean from your flawed brother and action movies. Not being mature enough to understand your mother's sorrow. These lyrics are incredible, and it took me so long to understand what he was getting at.

Damn I didn't even think of what the lyrics were really about. Thanks for making me think!

Stacey P. How do you know this?

I'm dumb. I don't get what Davy did. Help?

@asdf It doesn't say waht Davy did, He just did something bad enough to send him to jail

@Wysake Yeah that's what i was thinking but i wasnt sure.

who the hell disliked this

Davey broke the law is about his real brother Matthew David molesting an 8th grader when he was 21......interesting perspective Sandy sings about..

@lifeatpaddyspub look it up brooooooo

literally how did you find this out?

You can tell his brother is high on the spectrum if you watch any videos he's in. But also his brother goes through a lot of Alex's videos and reads the comments so yeah it was kind of a bummer to post this.

Kolton hit David with That//Finally got some traction there.

Davey broke the law again
Heard this time he's going to the pen
Guess I didn't eat my lunch
Cause I was going to miss him a whole bunch
Maybe he was out of line
But he was still a pretty close friend of mine
Maybe he had hurt me bad
But a brother is a brother and that is that
Mom's in a mood this week
Cause she thinks that her family is going crazy
Guess it started with the baby
She went in for a hug and it bit her on the cheek
That was pretty funny to me
But I guess I should have more sympathy
I never raised a kid
But I bet I'd do a good job if I did
Had a dream about a promised land
Walkin' round with a big gun in my hand
And when I look you in the eye
You're gonna tell me that you love me and hold me tight
Cause you know that I have no fear
Ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear
I'm gonna be a powerful man
Red blood running down the broken sand
I couldn't tell you
What it means to me

I think he says i AIN'T never raised a kid

Meredith Brewington poetry

You forgot the lyrics for the violin at the end. “Doooodolididloodooooooo doo doo doo doo do”

This song is a BANGER

but a brother is a brother and that is that

WHAT. EVER>

I scream "walking round with a big gun in my hand" Everytime I listen to this.

My new fav

I was disappointed by ''tis album 😔

I'm picking up what you're putting down, I really liked DSU, and Beach Music. However, I like how he got away from being so melancholy. It's rather uplifting.

Have either of you changed your minds since?

today I discovered Bored Nothing with Bliss to find out now I'm here that's life just breathe

Crank Yankers! its a terrible thing isnt it? i discovered it the same week it had happened, i have never been so sad hearing about a musician passing away, especially considering how beautiful his music was and what a great guy he must've been. R.i.p Fergus Miller
