Gregg Alexander - The Game Of Love

[mrtwilight23]

I love Gregg's voice - full of character - this guy has got soul

[Laxinator1]

Gregg is amazing !!

[joy7353]

I had read an article that he didn't like the "drama" involved w/being in public eye, after release of that magnificent album..he wanted to be behind the scenes, private. It's a shame and our loss...but he also has the right to "hide" - the media can be sooo envasive and it takes a strong, not so private person, to deal w/that. But brilliant, I wish we COULD be priviledged again...

[khaki620]

y won't he come back? jesus what a incredible voice.  i can't find a fan site for him. wtf???????

[AdyinH0bo]

@khaki620 type in new radicals forum in the Google search bar. Problem solved.

[whiteness99999]

I love how I didn't enjoy this song at all until I heard Gregg sing it. The way his voice sounds is just awesome. Guy could probably make me listen to anything if he sang it. lol

[Poopyheadnumber1]

I want to write this artist a letter talking about how his songs have inspired me and helped me through all these years, does anyone know who i can contact or can give me tips on doing this? I can't find anything on this guy, ive tried everything

[NovaChew]

@Poopyheadnumber1 Let me know if your find out, I've been having those thoughts too.

[dutt203]

@Poopyheadnumber1 I have honestly wanted to do the same thing for years please let me know if you find out anything

[AdyinH0bo]

@Poopyheadnumber1 Impossible. The guys is like a fucking ghost. He showed up, did his thing, and came and went with the winds that carried him in.

[AdyinH0bo]

This man right here is the exact reason why I bought one of those hats he wears. :)

[anntuhaneth]

@AdyinH0bo me tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo xD that was soooo long ago ... but i still have the hat :)

[9Mars3]

I wish he sang more, I literally love this dude. I want him to sing to me all the time lol. The New Radicals was such a great band and this guy shows a lot of emotion in his songs.

[Dr3Lungs]

I'm 18 and I think I've loved this guy and New Radicals since I was like 14 or something. His sound is so unusual. Like indie heartbreak pop or something. I love him! If I met him.. oh man, he'd be in trouble ;)

[TheHuck30]

This guy has so much talent. I would pay big money to see him live.. I love the New Radicals.. My favorite band of all time.

[DuckTapeProductionz]

this reminds me of my bike ride while the sunsets when summer was still going

[Mahlerialiszt]

What we need now is a fresh batch of Gregg Alexander tunes. Wow, do we need it.

[0sceptique0]

This is unbelievable but then again, I'd love to hear the writer sing his own song than anybody else...

[oneawis]

He should have recorded this with santana. I love the michelle branch version but this one shows more emotions. Plus santana and his magical guitar skills. Would have been wonderful.

[sentimentalgravity]

the songs so catchy

[BIubbit01]

He wrote this?!?!?!?!???! My god, I love this song, and now have more reason to love Gregg!

[KristinKellyrose]

Oh wow.. did he write this??

[AdyinH0bo]

@KristinKellyrose Yes.

[Danishghost04]

Man, I wish Santana had done this song with him instead of Michelle Branch. His voice and emotions are just so perfect, with Santana's guitar it would have been pure magic!

[coondogtheman1234]

WIN version. I like this track. can I find an mp3 of this somewhere?

[Laxinator1]

This version is fantastic. Greg is a great song writer & cool performer!

[mikeating]

this is a great version. Gregg kicks ass.

[SuperDrJeckyl]

I don't know if I'd say it's "way better" then Michelle Branch's version.

I think they are both great versions. I love Gregg's stripped down version, but I equally dig Michelle's version.

I call it a tie.

[jhalton]

the santana version always annoyed me (just like the rest of the crappy commercial songs that they used to shove santana in our faces just because he's a legend that i don't care about).

All those songs sounded like crappy contrived songs that were pasteurized for radio. When this guy sings it, it actually sounds fitting. He should record more

[thirteenchild]

I LOVE this version better!

Gregg is really talented...

Thank you

[averypack13]

I like this better than Michelle Branch's version. This makes me think of riding the bus to work back in the 90's and digging on Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. Yeah!!!

[brown142536]

the one guy who disliked the song i dislike you srry but i do :P

[meolans84]

quanto ci manchi alexander!..torna a cantare!!!

[wyatbroadcasting]

One of the greatest musical talents in the last 20 years!

[Perezleo2367]

MAN THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperiFox]

fuck michelle branch.. GREGG I NEED YOU MAN!

[wendie82]

Thanks for upploading his music :)

[shnoycee]

i love the new radicals...i didn't know he wrote this song! just shows how amazing he is...i still listen to my old new radicals...cassette tape. hahaha

[MooingChoir]

This man is an absolute genius and I can't believe he isn't more widely known.

[Sggirnitram]

So good, I can't believe more people don't know about this guy. I agree, kidfromzon, Michelle Branch's version pales in comparison to Gregg's original.

[Rigson]

Sounds like "You Get What You Give" with an alternate vocal melody

[kidfromzon]

This song never really got played in the UK, I never heard it until a few months ago.

I heard the Santana/Branch version & it blew my socks off.

Then I discovered he wrote it & heard this, It blew my trousers off!

Why oh why he never recorded this himself with Santana is beyond me, his voice is amazing.

No offence to anyone, but I can't listen to the Michelle Branch cover after hearing this one.

[guybrush69]

DOES anyone know if there is a version of Gregg Alexander singing his Rollercoaster song he co wrote for Ronan Keeting?! I would love to hear him singing that tune.

[petyusz3]

Kibaszott király

[illeskobar]

The New Radicals "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too" was a great album!!

fuckin timeless Gregg is a talented Muthaf***a

[cassanda11]

i love M and S's version,but they stole it !!!!!!!!! THAT IDIOT!!!!! LOVE THIS VERSION !!!

[brothersfilm101]

I Cant believe people like Michelle Branch would steal his songs and call it hers!!! THAT WHORE!!!!!!!

[SamC77]

sigh... if only LOVE was a super contagious disease. even more contagious than AIDS. if only.

[dragon21247]

VERY KOOL

[reno1715]

I like this muuuuch better then Michelle Branch's version

[megaturbo69]

he has an amasing talent,, very impresive to find out is his song.

why he would do hits anymore? or sing as a solo

[jsivna]

Everyone,Buzzinmyear has kindly uploaded some great unreleased demos by Greg, check out his channel.We need all the stuff by this elusive genius that we can get.Thanx too to imtormentor for uploading this.Greg rules,he's simply one of the best songwriters to grace this world,.. fact :)

[sublimeade]

great song but he doesnt have the vocal talent that Michelle Branch has. good thing he passed it off, he lacks range ... bad falsetto.

[megaturbo69]

@sublimeade you dont know what the fuck

[mercurydragonattack]

Great!!!!!! Perfect!

[dragonflyvideo]

gregg's the man !!!

[revic1382016]

thumbs up if u want new radicals to come back on recording/playing music

[jsivna]

@revic1382016 Amen !! .. come back greg :(

[KHOiPhonE4]

@revic1382016 I used to listen to this song on Mtv like you, then I took an arrow in the knee!

[vinniemacq]

Brillant song amazing voice , much better version then Santana and Branch. New Radicals come on back please

[salvadordreads]

Now I understand because Michelle made a cover of you get what you give

[cawialm]

1:28-1:37 Heeeeeeeell Yeaah!<3

[11xzxzxz]

One of the best Unreleased songs ever. Sure Michele and Carlos do it better but this is just a demo. I still can't believe a great song as this was written in the past 20 years .. cause music sucks today. I wish a free radical would wipe the slate clean and we could just have 60s and once in a while 70s and 80s. Where is the talent hiding.. in computers? classical music? It's a zeitgeist thing and it may never come again.

[MrWonderful25]

Anyone know if there is a link to download Alexander's version of this wonderful song?

[beckhamcapone]

@MrWonderful25 if you cant find a download link use a youtube converter

[TheBobNC]

Never knew he wrote this hit.

[TheBobNC]

Never nOnes

[ItsRainmakingTime]

I love him and his work. I found out today for the first time that he wrote this song and so much more. I want to interview him by phone. If anyone can find him, tell him that:

It's Rainmaking Time!

[mxpxsunkist]

Amazing.....simply...

[anthemjb]

When Gregg Alexander gives you song. It's best to record it as close as possible to how it was written.

[randomname349]

Listening to this makes me sad. Not because I don't like the song (it's amazing, actually), but just that there are so many great songwriters like Gregg who never get any credit for their work. This makes me want to look more behind the scenes at any song I like, so I can know who to really give the credit to.

[99hmike]

Gregg has written some great music-

[philiq18]

But he won a Grammy for writing this song... I guess he's happier working from behind the scenes.

[funwithFred]

I don't know quite happened. This and "You Get What You Give" are unbelievable....His other stuff is just meh and I didn't like him with Danielle.....but these two songs....it's like he hit his stride, his thing, and then haven't heard from him......These two songs, though, are gems....They make me feel freaking great....

[PPK222]

The original song from Gregg (New Radicals) Alexander!!!

[Mystinelle]

I love his voice so much......

[jarldg]

New Radicals is the best CD I own. It awful that he quit. I never heard this version of this song before, I hated the other version. This is great, and A Love Like That is transcendent.

[aduka1223]

genius

[pringeps077]

this guy and 'a true artist great voice and charisma ... I like this idea .. 5 stars for me

[dogtoiletcandy]

loved the comment at 1:33 hahaha! and totally agree with it! ;)

[gothbot6k]

please can someone email me this song

omalley14 *@* gmail*.*.com

remember to take out the *

[ovisland]

The Kid Always Comes Through .....

[laughlovelivenow]

What a beautiful song. Gregg can lull me to sleep anytime. Where can I get my hands on this song?

[axelpunisher]

para ustedes quien la canta mejor gregg o michelle¿¿¿¿ obvio no

[osram2000]

clapton was god

gregg is it

[stupidnicks]

Such a marvelous track! Takes me waaaaay back to '99 when i got in touch with "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too". Memories!

Greg Alexander solo album NOW =^)

[Blueeyeznblonde]

@stupidnicks He brings back so many memories of me as a tiny kid singing to his music XD

[stupidnicks]

@Blueeyeznblonde Correct! When he does his fallseto voice, it's a travel trouch time! ;-)

[stupidnicks]

@Blueeyeznblonde by the way, have you heard "A Love Like That" by Gregg? It's thrilling!

[mick779388]

did you hear... it said on Ronan Keating's twitter a while back that Gregg's contributing to his next album

[MrsTallulah]

He's a great writer, singer, so talented man. I wish I could see his new album, but propably it is impossible :(.

[DieSchwartzmann]

I'm beginning to think that the New Radicals breakup was a government conspiracy so they could steal his songs and give them to run of the mill pop musicians. If he'd released all these songs himself, he would be considered the best songwriter of the 20th/21st Century, hands down.

[demizeYARMON]

dude ur a genius i bet it was oh my god!

[wiggimoondrop]

Hell Yeah!! Best comment i've read in many a post. Hope Greg reads it and realise's the support behind him!

[reno1715]

@DieSchwartzmann

I thought he didn't wanna be Sony's homie and play by their rules :) Shows the true artist.

[reno1715]

@DieSchwartzmann

[RockoJulian]

@DieSchwartzmann He would have been a mega-selling solo artist for sure.

[MrPerlife]

I agree to this theory as well. He is a smart dude. 

[Babyhowdy233]

@DieSchwartzmann

Not THE best, but certainly one of the best in the last 50 years of Pop music! :)

[SamC77]

@DieSchwartzmann

just cuz he didn't put these songs on his own album don't mean he didn't write it. your logic suggests that the Wright brothers didn't invent the airplane jus cuz someone else figured out how to do some fancy flashy moves with airplanes.

if Gregg wrote the song then it don't matter if its sung by toads and frogs, credits still goes to him and he is one of the finest songwriters of our time.

[jrbodine15]

I absolutely love this. This guy is so talented. What writing skills and voice. It's a shame he never released more songs! Hopefully he made a lot of money from the Michelle Branch & Santana version!

[dnoll17315]

Simply Awesome!

[sergicolome]

Gregg is my god

[newspapertux]

where can we download this beauty?

[Atanua]

Remember when the original came out, after the first minute I was a hundered percent sure that it was written by Gregg. And I was right. And now I finally can listen to his demo, I always wanted to hear him in this song. Thank you soooo much!

[rocklover3300]

how did you know?

[baxeman]

pretty cool

[mkp1974]

[imtormentor]

[oskar100pre]

GENIAL * * * * * Thanks for rating!

[dressacsl]

[PINOYRADICAL1987]

nice falsetto! ^_^

[imtormentor]

I'm glad so many others enjoy Gregg's music as much as I do!

[brown142536]

i don't understand why any one whouldn't

[jsivna]

@imtormentor Thanx so much Brian for uploading all the Greg stuff,really appreciated :) Sub'd

[suicidepickles]

[mattwalkercovers]

OMG!!!! I love this mann soo much hes simply amazing myabe you've been brainwashed too is my favorite album of all time i wish he would come out of his wierd little cave hes in and write more music i love this mann

[WeJustCantGetEnough]

gregg is god

[MissDYay]

and i am in his church

[PeoplesWar]

Really? What's he like in real life?

[MissDYay]

Lol no I was just replying to WeJustCantGetEnough's comment that he is god. If I met him, I would beg him to make more music for all of us, his fans!

[brown142536]

agreed

[brown142536]

you are lucky

[PeoplesWar]

Not only can he write good songs, he sings his own songs very well!!!

Gregg Alexander is a rare gem. He deserved every bit of that Grammy Award. I raise my drink in hopes that it wasn't his last one!!!

[egosexual]

Yeaaaaah!

[partyinkingstondot]

as elusive as he is talented, Gregg Alexander has an incredible gift

[radicalgarbage02]

Damn I'll bet this was a little project sitting on the back burner for a long time until Michelle Branch picked it up.

Gregg should have released it before she came along though...

[Drsock]

If you listen really hard to the Santana version, you can hear Gregg as one of the chorus members

[verity1110]

this was one of my favourite songs, michelle branch version, but this one is so much better

love it

[MissDYay]

amazingly spectacular i am going to cry

gregg you fucker i love you come out from hiding

just record one song please please please

[megaturbo69]

@MissDYay agree



[morpheuzira]

what?! i never knew he has his own version! Ive always liked this song by michelle branch and santana. I also know that this was written by Gregg but I never thought he has his own take of this song. I admire his song writing talent but I admire more his voice. True artistry!

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate it a lot! Hope I can find more unreleased songs by the New Radicals!

[imtormentor]

You're welcome!

[islamacros]

ohhh god!! thank you for uloading thiss! I'm surprised!

[brandonfrocks]

can't say the same twice...

i just cant believe it!

[badtown88]

Gregg is the man.  And a genius.

[greatsuperfan]

Tell me Just what you want me to be

One kiss And boom you're the only one for me

So please tell me Why don't you come around no more?

Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store

It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that It started with a kiss

Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain I'm telling you my babe

It's all in the game of ...

Love is Whatever you make it to be

[RockoJulian]

Sunshine, instead of this cold lonely sea. So please baby tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy and use me for what I'm good for.

It aint saying goodbye, when your knocking down the door of the candy store.

[ImixmaniK]

amazing!!! Can't believe this exists!

[RockoJulian]

Where did you find this??!?!?!?!

[Domwhat]

....I love this song and all the other ones he's written, but they all do sound the same!! Same tempo, similar chord progressions, melodies. :0)

[backdoorcj]

Yeah,i agree he's a genius songwriter and i love The New Radicals but i just can't find anything like it.Anyone knows any band that sounds like the Radicals?

[RockoJulian]

Some, check out Hall & Oates, Todd Rundgren, and Carole King. Also check out the artists he has written for, such as Ronan Keating, Sophie Ellis Bextor, and many others.

[falcan0]

I just love this guy - I understand he was frustrated from touring etc. but why the hell can't he record something at home from time to time and share it :-) I would buy his songs:)

[funwithFred]

Love his songs. They make me feel happy. So talented. Can a hat look sexier on anyone else? I don't think so. I love that hat.

[Rawbtube]

I totally agree that this is far better than the version everyone knows.

When i heard this song on the radio originally I thought, "Wow this sounds like something Gregg Alexander would write".

This guy is a genius songwriter.

[2GMontes]

Hey thanks man for posting this. I'm glad you had/found it and posted it to share with us all.

I agree with all other s that Gregg was and is an awesome singer, songwriter, musician.

My first taste of his music was his 'Smokin' in Bed' song I got on a Promo CD years ago. The New Rads were awesome... wish they hadn't disbanded but sometimes its best to walk away when things are best.

[New7Suil4]

the best singer

[jeawrong27]

amazing version! Love this song-writer :)))

[xawklinex]

so awesome to here him sing this, be awesome if he made a better recording to relase it for him self

[BananaHurricane]

OH MY GOOOOOOD! Lol, this is a gem! Where did you get this? I've been looking for anything I can find of Gregg besides his 2 albums and New Radicals. If you could shoot me the mp3 I'd be eternally grateful...

[beckhamcapone]

dont no if ur still lookin for mp3 or audoi files of these demos on youtube but there is a youtube converter online you can use for free to convert it for itunes,psp etc..hope this helps ya.

[imtormentor]

I agree. He's a very talented songwriter, it's a shame he only writes for other people now.

[jusa51]

LOve Greg Aleander (and the New Radicals). His original version of this song is awesome.....I've missed not having any new stuff from him...
