Orbit by Gooseberry published on 2023-04-24T14:14:36Z Orbit is the second single off of Gooseberry's second EP: Validate Me. Streaming everywhere May 26th, 2023. Orbit is a love song. Or at least I’d argue on its behalf! Though I suppose it’s really about the selfishness that is required for an artist to chase such an ill-fated pursuit with such single minded obsession as is needed for fame and success in this industry. Knowing that the hours dedicated to the craft, to being on the road ultimately disrupt (and, potentially, unravel) meaningful relationships outside of music. Like a loved one. I argue this is a love song because its self awareness of its selfishness makes the sting of love that much more present. Musically, this is a big, hulking blues-rock song, dyed to the bone.

Lyrics: I don’t know what the meaning of the word is But it seems like I hurt you I don’t know what the meaning of your life is But it seems like it’s worth it I don’t know where we’re all gonna go But I like it right here I don’t know who you’ve left to hold ‘Cause in a minute I’ll disappear Too much time on the road from you Too much time for me To be alone with my enemy Well I'm saying I know it’s taken all the others I know it’s probably gonna take me, too I know it’s taking me further away From your orbit I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly I know that there’s nothing I can do I know it’s taking me further away Away from you I don’t know why the wind blows And messes up your long, brown hair I don’t know why we don't say nothing When all the words are right there I don’t know who the fuck I am But I can see that you You don’t care Too much time on the road from you Too much time for me To be alone with my enemy Well I'm saying I know it’s taken all the others I know it’s probably gonna take me, too I know it’s taking me further away From your orbit I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly I know that there’s nothing I can do I know it’s taking me further away Away from you Oh, from you Oh, from you Oh, from you Away from you Too much time on the road from you Too much time for me To be alone with my enemy Well I'm saying I know it’s taken all the others I know it’s probably gonna take me, too I know it’s taking me further away From your orbit I know it’s selfish and it’s ugly I know that there’s nothing I can do I know it’s taking me further away Away from you Genre Alternative Rock
