Amaretto by Gooseberry

Amaretto is the fourth single off of Gooseberry's second EP: Validate Me.

Streaming everywhere August 11th, 2023.

Gooseberry's 'Amaretto' is a mesmerizing love song delving into the depths of modern romance. Evocative lyrics paint a poignant picture of love's ebbs and flows, capturing intimate moments over tea and stormy twists. A crescendo of guitars and drums, influenced by indie icons The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, & Arctic Monkeys, adds electrifying energy. 'Amaretto' is a showcase of musical prowess, blending emotion and chill vibes in an unforgettable romantic journey.

To quote our recording engineer (and producer on this project), Colin Bryson: a bold choice is made to steer this beautiful-sounding creation off the rails as loud guitars and drums build momentum, finally pushing the tempo significantly faster, only to drop us back into a love-like calm once more. The fast section of this song is about as close as we get to The Strokes (because of the universal law that an NYC rock band must at some point play a song that sounds like The Strokes).

Lyrics:

And you’re talking in your sleep
You sound so lonely
At war with all your anxieties
You and what army?
Your amaretto eyes
They dart and swell
Leave me mesmerized
I know I don’t stand a chance
My love grows
So it goes

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to…

Oh my love, you have the strangest dreams
Tea in the mornings
My love, you say the strangest things
This isn’t working
Coming alive when I say your name
Pull you in tight, now we’re dancing
Sounds blasé when I say but it’s true
I love you

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to
If you want to

Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Cry
Okay then, baby
Okay then, baby
Cry
If you want to
If you want to
If you want to
