Gooseberry - Swindle

To Rate
Verse
When you’re feeling ignored
You need a release
Need to let that anger feed
Well I’m just like you
I see as you do
Except through golden glasses
Don’t you want what I have?
Don’t you want your land back?
Follow my lead!
Freedom comes in chains
Wealth in poverty
Ain’t it good to be free?

Pre-Chorus
Don’t like what you see?
Reject reality
(It’s propaganda, try mine, it’s better for you)
Don’t read the news
They print all my misdeeds
(It’s propaganda, try mine, it’s better for you)

Chorus
Keep your eyes peeled up on the screen
Tell me, don’t you love what you see?
Look into mine and disregard all my liеs
Helps the poison go down easy
If you givе me more, I can give you less
Never been a deal so sweet
Doublethink twice
Remember one thing
Don’t believe in nothing but me
Verse
I’m the sum of your dreams
Your insecurities
I am base emotion
I’m a god amongst men
Even Christ has weighed in
He’s my biggest fan!
I can’t do this alone
Lord knows that I’ve tried
I think you’re disgusting
But there are many steps
And if we band as a team
We can nail all fourteen

Pre-Chorus
Don’t like what you see?
Reject reality
(It’s propaganda, try mine it’s better for you)
Don’t read the news, they print all my misdeeds
(It’s propaganda, try mine it’s better for you)

Chorus
Keep your eyes peeled up on the screen
Tell me, don’t you love what you see?
Look into mine and disregard all my lies
Helps the poison go down easy
If you give me more, I can give you less
Never been a deal so sweet
Doublethink twice
Remember one thing
Don’t believe in nothing but me
Bridge
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me
Nothing but me

Chorus
Keep your eyes peeled up on the screen
Tell me, don’t you love what you see?
Look into mine and disregard all my lies
Helps the poison go down easy
If you give me more, I can give you less
Never been a deal so sweet
Doublethink twice
Remember one thing
Don't believe
Don't believe
Don't believe
Don’t believe in nothing but me

Gooseberry

Gooseberry is a 4-piece band from Brooklyn, New York born during the Fall of 2019. Their combination of indie rock and soul is a recipe for a unique sound that Gooseberry delivers in each song. The band consists of Asa Daniels (formerly of Baked Goods) on guitar/vocals, Evin Rossington (drums), Sam Rappaport (keys, vocals), and Will Hammond (bass).

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.
