Lyrics:
Go get what you want
Get hip to the signs and then you
Get lost in your thoughts
Just trying to prove, what’s with you?
Now, and again
The times I’ve tried to
Bow, and amend
The far and the fake, look sunlights fadin’
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems too
Now tell me what’s wrong
There’s something behind your grinning
Been waiting too long
The show startin’ soon,
Head’s spinning ‘round
Not again
The times I’ve tried to
Bow, and amend
The far and the fake, look sunlights fadin’
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems
I, I can’t take this, it’s not debated
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
How can you say this is not for debatin’
Ah, how can you say that you’ve got no problems
I can’t be fake, when you're up and elated,
How, how can I say that you’ve got no problems too
That I’ve got no problems too

New music. New album. New story.

New Hype

[@mickwritesmaui]

Can we take a minute to admire the COMMITMENT to the late 70’s/early 80’s aesthetic? Please Ginger Root, give us a behind the scenes. I’m dying to see how you put this all together.

[@Neuromancer23]

All the broadcast equipment, just as set pieces, incredible!

[@oioio-yb9dw]

It is an amazing thing what he does, I would gladly support him because he's really dedicated, the effort it takes to put this together. Admirable

[@CRneu]

The music is amazing but the video is blowing my mind. This is really a work of art and not just music.

[@Revima]

there's ways to make the footage look dated via editing.

[@iKnowaNoah]

​@Revima its more than just editing, though ofc thats a large part of it. everything down to the clothes and items theyre using are all so loyal to the era being emulated. it creates immersion and that's impressive, immersion is difficult to pull off, and takes a lot more than filters and editing

[@grahamykins]

[@unconcernedsalad2]

the quirky DIY aesthetic of the ending, feels very faithful to the era you’re trying to emulate. so many movies at that time had gadgets and devices and home-made contraptions. seeing that same concept referenced here (whether intentional or not), really felt authentic. loved it !!

[@zacharybarteky3040]

The Ginger Root project is a testament to what is possible these days. We live in a golden age of creativity. Your love for what you do is evident in the high level of care and attention to detail on display. Looking forward to watching you grow as an artist. Keep up the good work, you've brought me a lot of joy in uncertain times.

[@brodeez]

i absolutely loved the loretta jokes, i know the last album was about imposter syndrome, but this one's story could be about feeling like you're falling short of what was your most popular song edit: some things to backup this idea, the idea of s1 of "meet you in the galaxy" flopping could be a feeling that nisemono "wasnt enough" and him not meeting juban tv's standard could be also referring to how he might feel that it paled in comparison to city slicker (it didn't btw) since both pieces of media are from those respective albums

[@nahuel_fernandez]

what- was it?

[@brodeez]

@@nahuel_fernandez if you're talking about nisemono, he says in the desc that it is, and if you think about it that way, it does show its themes through the MVs

[@Rex-golf_player810]

Ginger Root's work ever since Nisemono always seems to parrallel Cameron's real life career to some extent

[@fluffr_nuttr8032]

Idk bro seems to be doing quite well for himself, I think the pitch for this 8 video series where he goes independent reflects that

I loved the second the camera pulled out to the miniatures; the aesthetic is so on-point and the album is starting with such a sprint and such a tight groove I'm glad that even in spite of you co-directing, the video still oozes everything Ginger Root. The easter eggs, the humor (the Cameron doppelganger made me lmao) and a razor-sharp style that only gets more honed with every upload.

The cinematography is off the charts! I've never seen any of your work before, astonishing job to everyone!

PLEASE remove the ending thumbnails if you can! The suggestions for your next videos pop up before the videos end, and I couldn't see the final sequence / the credits as well as I would've liked!
