  • 1. Your drumming is undoubtedly in the pocket. Mad props 2. The guitar tone is incredible. I wish that was in the studio recording. 3. I used to play live shows back in the summers of ’15, ’16, and ’17. There’s nothing quite like being on stage in front of people and losing yourself to the rhythm. I can’t imagine how euphoric something on this scale must have been. Congratulations man!

  • As a drummer in a stoner metal band where our lyrics talk about rampant drug use and murder and cultists who masturbate onto corpses of snakes as they dance around flames, I appreciate that you smiled. It means you’re a real musician prolly got a mother or father who was all in it, Mr. Goose. My two daughters and I LOVE this article you’ve put together and this song too. Great drumming homie frfr the smile is the meaning of music: love.

  • I just discovered Owl City last week… I know, where in the world have I been? Lol. I loved this compilation… thank you! Yeah, tight drumming, love that you’re really enjoying yourself, and the electric guitar tones are amazing. I think Adam is a musical genius… but his heart is what’s most impressive. Hope he was fun to work with!

  • Just ran across this article and saw 121 thumbs down… What kind of loser would give this a thumbs down? It’s a great article of a fantastic experience. It doesn’t matter if you like the music or not. This guy went out and did it. There are few things better in life of creating that synergy between musician and crowd – it’s an amazing energy. Good on ya, Goose. Keep doing what you love.

  • Thanks for sharing your articles. I shivers my spine and I teared up knowing this song has really into me. It gave me calmness and serenity. Away from the world, and be free. This is the song I have in my 53mb mp3 player that I used to have, put my earplugs on and walked the entire miles of the city to home. I can’t feel the tiredness in my feet nor the long train and bus travels, but I felt light and I was in like I was in a different world. The feeling of nostalgia brought my eyes crying. Simple song as it is yet it was so inspiring and giving a good vibes. I miss the good old days where everything is just simple yet full of joy and contentment. 😢🥺😭 Thanks for sharing this man. ❤️

  • Shout out to Philly where I was! The concert was amazing and an unbelievable experience. I was almost directly in front of you (give or take a few other fangirls/boys) so I really had fun observing you not just playing, but also looking like you were having the time of your life, giving it your full energy and really appreciating the crowd. Same for Cody! I saw you two exchange looks a few times which I still laugh and smile about. Now, I’m really glad I have the opportunity to hear you play outside of the concert, cause it’s a little bit of the magic in every article you post. Keep on playing, you’re doing a great job, the criticism usually isn’t constructional, so don’t listen to it. Listen to the people who know what’s up. 😄

  • Dearest Goose, this is some great playing and wow, super mixing of article/audio. I’m small town Colorado and just putting together my ableton tracks to use with a dou for next summer’s gigs around the four corners. great to see what you’re playing and how you’re playing it. gave me some great ideas for my set up. cheers and thanks.
