"I almost didn't include Doubtfire because it's not my best work" Commenting just to say that Doubtfire is definitely in my top five favorite songs of yours. 👍

[@TheKeyboardJester]

Me too! it's one of my favorites! I listened to it before going to sleep last night.

[@Midnight24435]

Had it on repeat many times while working; certainly love the Doubtfire track.

[@SkillJim]

I’ve got Doubtfire on repeat lately, I think it may actually be my favourite!

[@calm2348]

So glad it's included cus it melts my heart and is also a fantastic song

[@somethingnotknown9634]

Pogo is one of those artists you are starving for more albums of, even though each one feels like they were made by different people, but they always make you love them somehow.

[@henrikaugustsson4041]

I found pogo when my dog died. His funky, upbeat tunes saved me from a lot of self-destruction and depression, as well. This is what music is all about. A true artist at work, enriching people’s lives and helping us escape our troubles for a while, and give us back the strength to recover.

[@henrikaugustsson4041]

@@Mkgin22 Lol, don’t hold your breath. (Get it?)

[@IanConnel]

Depression is a choice. Take control of you and your destiny. Begin to act like it's within your control, and you'll find that a lot of it really is.

[@morgoth12]

@@IanConnel I’m sorry, but you just don’t know what you’re talking about. I have no problem seizing my destiny. That’s why I have a lucrative job that I love. That’s why I have an amazing wife and kids. That’s why I have everything I could ever want. I made it happen. But clinical depression doesn’t care. To claim that you truly understand how the human brain works and how chemicals in your body affect your emotions is not only naive, but also socially irresponsible. I’m happy you don’t have depression weighing you down, but please don’t speak for people that do.

"The track plants me in an ancient ruin beneath a huge overcast sky and slaps a sword in my hand." "...as we leave the madness of Earth and return to the stars." I was excited to see the notification from you, but did not expect to hear music and read poetry at the sane time. Loved reading about each track. And I LOVE Doubtfire.

[@tehrabbitlol]

I’d be amazed and so delighted if you got to read this comment- 💕 I have been a faithful listener to your music since Alice came out and I was about 15 at the time, now I’m 29 and still so much in love with your musical genius, every time you come out with something new I’m like a child on Christmas morning! Your music has gotten me through so many years of my life, the good, the bad and when I’ve hit rock bottom- I always turn back to your music and it gives me a sense of hope and will to keep going, you’ve made my days bright and I will never stop being a dedicated fan 💕 Thank you Pogo!! I plan on getting your emblem tattooed on me at some point this year 💕 Keep being amazing and that inspiration for those who need it 😊

[@PogoMusic]

Thanks a million, Red! Music does that for me too. I hope 2021 is a much better year for you. Thanks for tuning in!

[@michaelmccarty1327]

Someone help! These obvious spam accounts are actually contributing relevant comments and I don't know what to do about it. Usually they just reply to comments a generic unrelated message to get someone to click their profile, but they're getting more sophisticated. I still thing the responses are algorithmically created, generated by putting the names of some of the songs and the name of the composer into premade sentences talking about how good the song is. Still, they had me going for a while. I was like, "Well, there's no reason an E-girl wouldn't like Pogo!"

Never personally seen Fiddler on the Roof, but i grew up hearing my dad reference it all the time, and i feel like that has some connection to why i adore this song so much despite knowing little about the film. I just love how happy and inviting it sounds

[@MorningGloryDancer]

Nick's song actually made me go watch Fiddler on the Roof for the first time. I recommend that you do as well; it's actually quite a wonderful musical. And Nick definitely gave it the love that it deserves.

Wow your music always envelopes me with nostalgia core but not of a specific past memory. Love all of it, also loved the descriptions of each song!

[@elsewhere_ash]

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been grooving and following your musical evolution for the past decade now. Despite the peaks and valleys of this wild decade, your sound has always provided a constant comfort. Much love and cheers for another great album, Pogo. It’s a sound I gladly share with others. My father, a 59 year-old man, is even a fan. And luckily, so is my fiancée.

A decade ago I found Bloom and have always been anxiously waiting for new content. And then I see there are SEVERAL uploads I haven't seen like this masterpiece. Bravo!

[@DjNarda]

Great job on this release! Mazel Tov is my favourite track of 2020.

[@GoldLibrary]

I've listened to your music for years, and it invariably makes me emotional. Doubtless, you are a competent composer and arranger, but I believe it is the vocal manipulation in particular that makes the music so emotionally charged. The famed Avalanches record Since I Left You is a similar patchwork of vocal samples - the overarching effect is the feeling of grandeur and awe at the wide gamut of human experience. Your particular vocal manipulation leaves certain key words intact - words with meaningful connotations - while truncating the rest, which removes their intelligibility as words and reduces them to phonemes and emotional inflection. Thus, the familiar sounds of speech are stripped of their familiar meaning, and the native tongue is given the novelty of an unspoken language. It is this revelation of the unrecognized properties of what was, seemingly, long understood that imbues the music with a powerful sense of meaning. As Paul Klee said, "Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes it visible."

[@micaelakiesslingcorradi2314]

IM SO PROUD OMG YOU BACK

[@aaronmehaffey6251]

I'm very glad you decided to keep "All You" in there. I love spoken-lyric songs in general. And your voice, accent included, is very appealing!

[@soncap6722]

His music is both intricate and amazingly simple, while also carrying a sense of nostalgia. These contradictions intriguingly harmonize with each other. I find it difficult to describe the emotions I feel when listening to his songs, but it's a combination of modern and classic elements, subtle melodies, and a random nostalgic experience that resonates with the listener. Respect :>> Hope to see his new tracks.

This guy is capable of taking almost anything and giving it a nostalgic and warm feeling. Everything i hear that he makes is a revolution to my ears.
