“You know that meme where Squidward watches from his window as SpongeBob and Patrick have all kinds of fun? That’s essentially what this song is about. It’s about picking up your life and leaving a place you’ve known forever—say, New York City—and relocating 300-plus miles away to a city that couldn’t feel more different… From afar, all you can do is rot away watching on social media as other bands play your favorite venues back home—shows you can’t be at. In many ways, this song is about homesickness, but also about how isolation can completely distort your perspective. Musically, it’s one of the heaviest songs in the Gooseberry catalog, and it owes a great debt to Soundgarden.” -Asa Daniels

“To me, music is always about making people feel something. The fun part for me is digging within myself and finding new ways to evoke a reaction while saying something that can still move me when I am creating it.”
