The part about 9/11 really got to me for some reason. I don’t personally know anyone that died during that day, but just thinking of all the innocent people that got killed. It just really hits me in the feels...
Alec is my favorite artist because he doesn’t just find words that Rhyme he chooses words that tell a story ones that have meaning and go with the context. He’s a story teller through his music each song has its own vibe it’s amazing
All his songs tell a story, All his songs give everyone chills, He deserves glory, His songs solve depression more than pills, I have no idea where I went with that :/
Alec: I guess Santa claus is just not real. Me: i-i knew that Alec: And batman can't fly. Me: WHAT!!?!!? (I apologize, I was so young and had never even realize Bat Man couldn't fly at the time- It only makes sense because as a kid I thought he could fly since I thought bats fly instead of glide. Thank you for the likes though :) )
I was born in April of 1995 but I connect to this alot. I lived in Norwalk, Connecticut when the towers fell. I was at the beach near my school when it happened. We couldn't see the towers but we could see the smoke and helicopters flying above. The trains where stopped and there was so much traffic from people fleeing. A few relatives had to stay with us because they lived close to the towers and wouldn't be able to get to their homes for days. Oh and I do miss MTV actually having music all day.
me: *one verse in & listening to this for the first time* : hmm ‘1994’ is it called that because alec was born in 1994 ?¿ alec *two seconds later*: i was born in 1994
guys did you now this song was telling part history because when he said twin towers that was in new york and he said sweet land of liburty thats new york fcity when a plane crashed into the towers that is 9-11 attack
Finally a new artist who is older than me...all of the new genereation artists are very very young im glad someone who is similar to my age is getting there too
I really feel sad that alec is not that famous because he deserves to be a really famous singer...He is GREAT!!! Everything about his songs are wonderful....he really deserves more fame
I know right but people that sing and rap about drugs, money, girls, ect. are the ones famous and they have no talent but the ones with talent nobody knows them. so sad!!! :(
@@danim143 Ik those people don't write the lyrics- anybody could sing on stage but Alec isn't one of "those" singers. He writes about his life and has very little autotune and they actually have a meaning in every lyric. I wasted my time :P
Alec: Santa claus isnt real Me: I knew that My little sister: Thats some trash alec: and batman can't fly My little sister: well duh me: THAN WHY IS HE CALLED BATMAN!!! BATS FLY
@@Mexican_Pringle no i’m pretty sure they can fly, have you ever seen them come out of caves when they are going up? i don’t think you can glide upwards
One thing I like about Alec is ............ his lyrics hit way to hard !! He doesn’t use autotune, he is a humble guy, his voice is awesome, he is hella good looking in a simple sweatshirt and.. he is underrated. What more do you want ? He is a freaking LEGEND !!! Love you Alec from India ❤️❤️
I have been listening to you for years and my friends think I'm weird but I absolutely love your songs. I want to get a phone so I can listen on my bike rides
Anyone else listen to a song that isn’t even sad but it just hits hard so your crying your eyes out in front of a bunch of strangers or is that just me
This is where I broke my wrist Where I thought I could fly Thinking I was Superman So you know you can't cry Because I wanted to be just like them And save my city from crime I wanted to be just like them, just like them, just like them Campbell's chicken noodle soup When you stay home from school Remember watching MTV When there was still music for you Just a kid on Cholla Street From my city built in the sand My father said, "You'll be a man, be a man, be a man" I was born in 1994 I was born in 1994 I was, I was born In 1994 I guess Santa Claus is just not real And Batman can't fly And nobody's invincible Because I know people die I saw it on the news one day When the towers fell down September's not the same place now, same place now, same place, now Now tell me what you wanna be Because you grow up too fast I'll cut my hair and sag my jeans And never show up to class Get ready 'cause it's time to leave So pack up your bags And go be who you wanna be, wanna be, wanna be I was born in 1994 I was born in 1994 I was, I was born In 1994 My country tis of thee Sweet land of liberty My country tis of thee Be who you wanna be My country tis of thee Sweet land of liberty My country, my country My country, my I was born in 1994 I was born in 1994 I was, I was born In 1994
Alec: Campbell's chicken noodle sou- Me, screaming: *CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH THE SODA IN THE SIDE* Anyway Alec you're a fantastic singer...I wish that you became more famous 'cause you so great

And save my city from crime
I wanted to be just like them, just like them, just like them
Campbell's chicken noodle soup
When you stay home from school
Remember watching MTV
When there was still music for you
Just a kid on Cholla Street
From my city built in the sand
My father said, "You'll be a man, be a man, be a man"
I was born in 1994
I was born in 1994
I was, I was born
In 1994
I guess Santa Claus is just not real
And Batman can't fly
And nobody's invincible
Because I know people die
I saw it on the news one day
When the towers fell down
September's not the same place now, same place now, same place, now
Now tell me what you wanna be
Because you grow up too fast
I'll cut my hair and sag my jeans
And never show up to class
Get ready 'cause it's time to leave
So pack up your bags
And go be who you wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
I was born in 1994
I was born in 1994
I was, I was born
In 1994
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
My country tis of thee
Be who you wanna be
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
My country, my country
