June Guitar

End of my rope, I
I swung so freely
I felt my gravity
Felt you down there swingin' low with me
(I want to, I want to be near you)
Yeah, you turned from me
Felt something slippin'
Some fabric rippin'
Want you down there swingin' low with me
(Baby, I want to, I want to be near you, with you every day)
Want you down here swingin' low with me

Love ain't for the young anyhow
Something that you learn from fallin' down
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me

End of my days, I
I spoke so freely
What's left was reelin'
Felt faded feelings
Red head, come on down and swing it with me
(Red head, come on down and swing it with me)
Want you down here swingin' low with me (I want to be near you)
It came back to me (baby, I want to, I want to be near you)
Yeah, you were hidin'
Then you were laughin'
Want you down there swingin' low with me (baby, I want to, I want to be near you)
Want you down here swingin' low with me (everyday)

Love ain't for the young anyhow
Something that you learn from falling down
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me
Don't make me

Real Thing

I went out looking for a real thing
Didn't notice, it was hanging by the door
Didn't leave a message or anything
Yeah, she doesn't wanna wait for me, no more
Walking in the city with a real thing
No one tells you what the real thing is for
Making up a story for
Yeah, you spilled the real thing all over the floor

Driving on the highway, from the old place
Got a license for the real thing on the dash
Hopin' I can make it through to April
On whatever's left of all this label cash
No, I never thought I was the real thing
There were certain tests I thought that I would pass (ahh)

Maybe when you're older, you can give me that

Afterlife

Let me run on
Afterlife
Filling up the tank with it
Like a kid I ran it past
Rolling in the tiger grass
We were mean and seventeen
Make it like a dream
She said
We were clean like kerosene
Candy and porno magazines

Coming through the radio reflections
Coming through the radio
The telephone
The TV
When my horse was kicking
Son
Son
Son

When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life

Let me write down
Every word
Once I was a mockingbird
Not an angel
But I'm your man
I can bring you back again
A prayer was a baited hook
Scribbled in a history book
Let me run on
In between
Heaven and the TV screen

Running in the afterlife
Reflections
Coming through the radio
The telephone
The TV
When my horse was kicking
Son
Son
Son

When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
When the light came
Big and bright

Spinning

Lock the car
Tell your boss
We were star-crossed
It was open
Now it's shut
I was spinning in a rut
I was following my gut

Now I know
That you lie
'Cause I lie
But I could make it up to you
I could fake it till it's true
Baby, I could make it new

All our past
In a scene
Like a bad dream
It was funny all along
Just like something in a song
It's not over
It's not wrong

Could you stay
Could you wait
Could you
Could you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Yesterday, yesterday
Sky was gray
Now I hope, and I pray
Will you stay
I won't let you down, I'm hanging around
I'm up in the clouds
And I pray, and I pray
I'm up in the clouds
And I pray, ooh

All day long, all day long
Sing a different kind of song
Say goodbye to the life
That you knew for so long
No thing erases
No one replaces
My heart in braces
In braces, in braces

Oranges

(One, two, three)

From the walls
Portraits fall
I'm not scared
I'm not there
Storming in
Full of sin
Full of love
We were children

Wash in the river with the one I love
Every good thing, with a little bad luck
You can cry, baby, now
I ain't bluffing
Wash in the river, on bended knee
Mama, come out and rescue me
Mama, come out and rescue me

Oranges, they fall from the trees
In the Florida Keys (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Willow branches whisper it to me
Florida (da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da)

Far and Wide

I've searched far and wide, for a place like this
Now I can close my eyes
Days riding past
On waves of shattered glass
And I'm all in pieces
Well, I'm all in pieces

Through so many storms
In this shipwrecked world
You've brought me here, at last
Where headlights of cars
Drift like falling stars
And I'm all in pieces
Well, I'm all in pieces

Butterflies and boats
And secret letters
Little things that make me think
Of what we had together

I've searched far and wide, for a place like this
Now, I can close my eyes
All of these years
Crystal chandeliers
And I'm all in pieces
Well, I'm all in pieces
All of the world was left, in faded color
Didn't we give everything?
To be with one another?

Headlights

When the road is long
Let the highway sing my song
When, when the stars grow dim
Let the headlights light my dawn, yeah

No passenger beside me
No lovers on this ride
The road ahead is winding and
The hammer close behind

Well, I moved so fast
That no one could see me pass
And my heart grew cold
And my story went untold

Once, I rode a black horse
Headlights in my eyes
Dragging down a yellow moon
Just to bring it back to life

Yeah, my heart's insane
Let the money pave my way, yeah
Yeah, my heart's insane
Let the money pave my way, yeah

Once, I rode a black horse
Water in my lungs
Flying down the interstate
Just to watch the colors run

Headlights Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Headlights is the tenth studio album by American musician Alex G, released on July 18, 2025 on RCA Records. Marking his major-label debut, the album was co-produced by Alex G and Unknown Mortal Orchestra bass guitarist Jacob Portrait, and was preceded by three singles, "Afterlife", "June Guitar", and "Oranges".

Headlights consists of "absurd twists and mundane milestones", influenced by Americana music similarly to his previous studio album, God Save the Animals (2022). It is set to continue the musical narrative characteristic of his work and draws influence from various artists, including Neil Young, Elliott Smith and Lucinda Williams. A press release noted that Alex G "revisits the reality-bending terrain that has made him both a beloved artist and an unassuming cultural figure".

The album was co-produced by Alex G and Unknown Mortal Orchestra bass guitarist Jacob Portrait, who had worked with Giannascoli on his previous two studio albums, God Save the Animals (2022) and House of Sugar (2019). The majority of the album's instrumentation was recorded solely by Alex G, with contributions from his partner and regular collaborator Molly Germer (violin, backing vocals), alongside Carolina Diazgranados (cello, backing vocals), Hannah Nicholas (viola, backing vocals), Veronica Jurkiewicz (viola), Carlos Santiago (violin) and Justin Yoder (cello).

Alex G's longtime backing band - Sam Acchione (guitar), John Heywood (bass) and Tom Kelly (drums) - appear on the album's closing track, "Logan Hotel (Live)". The song was recorded "around a piano at the downtown Philadelphia hotel," with Alex G noting: "They're amazing musicians, and so what they're bringing to the song, it's special and I am trying to capture that. And [sic] I want them on the album because they're my people."

Having parted ways with Domino Recording Company after nearly ten years, the album marks his first release under RCA Records. The lead single, "Afterlife"- described as a "pleasant meditation on growing up" with a production style reminiscent of "Maggie May" (1971) and the drumming of Max Weinberg- was released alongside the album announcement on May 29. Its release was accompanied by a music video directed by Charlotte Rutherford. He released the album's second single, "June Guitar", on June 27, 2025.

Alex G is set to promote the record by touring with British musician Nilüfer Yanya across the United Kingdom and the United States.
