José González Full Set | From The Basement

[@Tonedefdom]

Short story. 2007, I came back from a night clubbing in London around 4am. Put on a radio show called The Blue Room which played an eclectic mix for chill out. Fell asleep. In my dreams I heard the most beautiful song and saw pictures to it. When I woke up I had to find out what it was. Listened to the online stream of the show and as soon as it came on I had goosebumps. It remains a significant moment of discovery for me and will always take me back. The song was Heartbeats - Jose Gonzales

[@SmallBlogV8]

Looove that one. It was used in an ad for a TV a solid 15-odd years ago when I was at school and it caught my attention so well that I learned to play the guitar part by ear without even knowing at first what the song was called.

[@danielbrown8737]

3 minutes in, first time ever listening to this guy, can already see myself listening for a long time after today

[@MilesWilliams88]

He's incredible. I had the pleasure of seeing him live about a year ago. It's one of the best shows I've ever been to.

He should make a new album

[@kevin_dasilva]

Got introduced to him in 2010 with RDR when first entering Mexico. I never thought a videogame moment would stick so much with me. I think that was the first game that made me that happen, and this man one of the reasons. 10 years later, I am still following him.

[@EricJamesVideo]

Exactly! After riding into Mexico was the most awestruck I've ever been with a video game, mostly in part by his song. The next day I bought all of José's music and it's in my music rotation at least once a week since. I wish he'd record more.

[@chromakeydreamcoat9590]

Same here, that really is the most iconic video game moment for me and since that I now love everything he's done and his work with Junip too

[@fcku333]

He is truly amazing!

[@slash196]

Back when I was struggling with insomnia I would take large amounts of diphenhydramine and put on Jose Gonzales records and have extremely weird experiences. I'm better now but the feeling of skin-crawling drowsiness comes back whenever I hear his guitar. Melatonin is great kids.

[@MilesWilliams88]

I struggle with Insomnia also. It's hell. Hope all is well with you now.

[@slash196]

@@MilesWilliams88 Melatonin finally cracked it for me, it might work for you too. Give it a try.

[@MilesWilliams88]

@@slash196 Yeah I've tried it for years. No luck unfortunately. I'm on ambien now. They work sometimes. Usually just make me feel worse though. Thankfully it's not a every night thing. Sometimes I sleep like a baby.
