Go Fish [SINGLE] by Gooseberry

Stream GO FISH: https://hypeddit.com/gooseberry/gofish

A heavy, grunge-fueled mix of Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, and Black Sabbath. Go Fish is about realizing a few more years have got behind you than you remembered—i.e. turning 30 and finding out the hard way that your mind and your body operate differently than they did in the carefree days of your twenties. There’s still a burning fire, but the blaze has changed in color. Thinking too hard about the passage of time inevitably leads to thoughts of nostalgia and yearning for simpler times, like the perfect youth that your memory sanitizes as it drifts further from your present.

Brooklyn-based trio Gooseberry, formed in 2019, melds alternative rock, grunge, and blues to craft their distinctive sound. Comprising Asa Daniels (guitar, vocals), Evin Rossington (drums), and Will Hammond (bass), the band has racked up millions of streams and has garnered praise from editorial stalwarts Galore, Under the Radar, and more. They've become integral to NYC's music scene, headlining venues like Bowery Ballroom, as well as supporting notable touring acts such as Ringo Starr, BabyJake, and Tanner Usrey. They have also played major festivals, including Bourbon & Beyond and Hogs For The Cause. In September 2024, Gooseberry released their debut full-length album, All My Friends Are Cattle. The record has already been streamed 2.5M+ times and counting. This debut showcased the expansive distance that the band can cover, from punch-you-in-the-mouth punk rock to lyrically-driven singer-songwriter to atmospheric prog rock. Glide declared that “Gooseberry is positioned to have a significant role in the modern rock scene.” Now boasting 70K+ monthly listeners and major festival appearances under their belt, Gooseberry has been hard at work on their eagerly anticipated sophomore LP. With a new record on the way and tours taking them all over the US, Canada, and Europe, 2026 is shaping up to be their biggest year to date.

Lyrics:
The engine’s running
The gears are spinning slightly slow
Relative to what you know

The fire’s burning
The flame, once blue, now turns yellow
The room’s still warm
But where’s the glow?

Life is a rose in a bottle of wine
All the petals come loose
We’re all dying in our own time

Then again
Then again

Nothing to cry about
Went right from sweet to sour
Quarter past the hour
But the minute hand is gone

Nothing to cry about
Sunshine can wilt a flower
Take your little finger
Fish your dreams out of the pond

Oh, wasted words and perfect youth
Oh, I think we’re cursed
To live our truths in faded hues
Oh what’s the use?

Inspiration
It used to flow from every pore
Now it hides beneath the floorboard

Imagination
Once a well that overflowed
Now the bucket’s got a hole

Life is a rose in a bottle of wine
All the petals come loose
We’re all dying in our own

Nothing to cry about
Went right from sweet to sour
Quarter past the hour
But the minute hand is gone

Nothing to cry about
Sunshine can wilt a flower
Take your little finger
Fish your dreams out of the pond

Oh, wasted words and perfect youth
Oh, I think we’re cursed
To live our truths in faded hues
Oh, then what’s worse
The wood’s all warped
The paint’s all cracked
Your childhood home
Is sold and gone
