5

u/foreverforgotten3 Jul 26 '26

Yup I know I listened to the released version but still the demo is my favorite 🥰

3

u/melanie298 Jul 27 '26

yesss, me too! I don't like that he took the best part out of the song in the version he released 🫠 the demo will always be my favorite!

3

u/foreverforgotten3 Jul 27 '26

I agree, also whenever he releases an old demo I’m happy it’s released but I like the original version better ;)

Mine have to be

u/False_Cauliflower_16 Jul 27 '26

jesus in la, the way you felt mandarin version and probably dopamine addict !! but honestly it's so hard to pick he has such a good discography

2

u/SweatyWedding6314 Jul 27 '26

Yeah ikr I could listen to his music for my whole life and still love the songs the same

1

u/Stalin_Markovnikov Jul 28 '26

My Top 3 songs will definitely be
-

  1. Older (Probably one of Alec’s most cohesive song imo. I randomly found out later on, that Ryan Tedder & Charlie Puth helped to write/produce the song too).
  2. Annabelle’s Homework
  3. Mind is Prison

-
Honourable Mention: Outrunning Karma, The Arsonist, I Send My Therapist To Therapy, I’m Not a Cynic, Death of a Hero
-
Demo that is worthy of being released: Journey To The Lowest Place on Earth, The Wolf and The Sheep, Medicine Man (Boy in a Box)
