Gooseberry - Validate Me
I’m so sarcastic I can’t tell you what it is I believe in anymore
I’m so fantastic
I love what you love until you do
And then I hate it like I’ve never hated anything before
So dramatic
But I didn’t ask to be cast as the lead
It’s such a burden ensuring the world keeps turning all around me
★ Pre-Chorus ★
How could you not know that thing that nobody does
Except for me?
★ Chorus ★
An intelligent mind
That’s what they call me
Unintelligent design
I’m a god of my own creation
Tell me you would agree
And validate me
★ Verse ★
This shirt I’m wearing is a reference to a show that you don’t know
I love that song you love except I heard about it
Seven months ago
I can’t help it if I was destined to save the day
Mop up disaster that was crafted by my bad habits
A daily charade
★ Pre-Chorus ★
How could you not know that thing that nobody does
Except for me?
★ Chorus ★
An intelligent mind
That’s what they call me
Unintelligent design
I’m a god of my own creation
Tell me you would agree
And validate me
★ Pre-Chorus ★
How could you not know that thing that nobody does
Except for me?
★ Chorus ★
An intelligent mind
That’s what they call me
Unintelligent design
I’m a god of my own creation
Tell me you would agree
And validate me

Gooseberry
Biography
The band is a genre-bending alchemy of many disparate elements. They are often referred to as having “two bands in one.” This phenomenon can be attributed to the distinctly different approaches of their two chief songwriters—Asa and Sam. It is this dynamic that enables Gooseberry to deftly maneuver from a song like The Protagonist, which comeherefloyd described as “indie goodness” with a “catchy melody, pulsing beat, and boastful guitars,” to a song like Berkshires, which NYS Music says harkens “back to major influences like D’Angelo, Donny Hathaway, and Stevie Wonder.” While the pandemic put a halt to live music right about the time Gooseberry teamed up, the group kept busy, recording and releasing three singles which have racked up greater than 100K streams to date. Per Tonemill, “The music feels live, organic and…we can imagine belting out adoringly while swaying our bodies at a Gooseberry gig.” Gooseberry’s debut EP is due out in 2022.
New on the block, Gooseberry has already begun developing a devoted following in and around New York City, running the full gamut of venues from The Bowery Electric to DROM to house shows across the boroughs, quickly staking their claim in the ever-lively Brooklyn music scene. Fans know they’ll be kept on their toes, as the band moves in and out of genres and styles, always keeping the crowd engaged. The band expects a big year on the road in 2022, starting off with gigs at famous NYC hotspots like The Knitting Factory and Mercury Lounge.
