Listen Close

From Day Job, Pt. 12020

Lyrics

Listen Close

They built it small The little hands Brand new wood And six copper strings And I have told a thousand stories Turning sorrow into gold Painting pictures of a life well-lived A memory I can hold If you listen So listen close Glossy face Now scuffed by song A warning fray Played all day long Dusting off a thousand feelings I had tucked away for good Giving me into a heartache that I thought I never could If you listen So listen close Listen close All the love in every language All the loss we share as well Is the reason we keep singing So you can see yourself If you listen Listen close

"That’s a long-winded way of saying I don’t know": The wisdom of cult favourite Alex G

Fifteen years into his career, Alex G remains one of indie’s most enigmatic figures. With ‘Headlights’, his tenth album and first on a major label, he emerges with a brighter, bolder sound without sacrificing the quiet weirdness that made him a cult hero.

Yungblud! Alex G! Royel Otis! Sprints! It's the August 2025 issue of Dork - order now

Four covers, one jam‑packed mag – Dork’s new issue is here, and it’s bursting at the seams.
