[@downiebrownie7490]

Is it just me, or does this song make you feel extremely happy?

[@Jaaziar]

it reminds me of home

[@pixelbyte4886]

Feels like Happy Hardcore

[@pixelbyte4886]

Well it kinda sounds like it even if its slow

[@Varillah]

not really, its a song that supposed to make you feel happy, but if ur like me going thru a really really though time in life, where so many things are just wrong, it just makes you sad, because this song makes you think about the happiness you could feel, but u can't just find a way to be.

[@GrubsonPiechocki]

No, it doesn't make you happy... It makes you feel alive :DDDDD

[@Cloudcage]

Aaron Richards and Puppet? What a time to be alive.

[@Impinkexplosion]

I can't explain how much Puppet's music means to me. I listened to his music throughout all of high school and it's the one thing that brings me back in time. So many memories here, memories I don't have stored on paper or in photos but through sound.

[@deepbluesyntax]

Dude same no one else sounded like/sounds like him so he brings a very specific nostalgia

[@medusasfury]

Same here. I had Scribble played during my high school graduation, and this Saturday I'm going to Chicago to see him live, and I've never been this excited for a show before.

[@pulakgautam3536]

@@medusasfury how was the experience at the show btw?

[@medusasfury]

@@pulakgautam3536 it was unlike any show I’ve been to before. It was at a small bar/sit down restaurant venue and only around 100 or so people attended. He played most of his newer stuff with some older tracks thrown in too and it is easily the best show I’ve ever gone to. I also got to meet Puppet there and N3wport who opened for him.

[@pulakgautam3536]

@@medusasfury I feel kinda jealous now hehehe, but anyways gr8 that u had fun!

[@3744012]

Sometimes there are genres that I don't really enjoy but some artists still manage to make me like their songs. Puppet is one of them.

[@btje1999]

coudnt agree more

[@Jiroscopio_]

Ikr, I hate Indie Dance but this is awesome.

[@aleph3566]

Except for the fact that this isn't indie dance and soft spoken isn't progressive house

[@Jiroscopio_]

o0o TheOneAndOnlyVr3 o0o I´m relaxed. Also, what genres would you say are this song and Soft Spoken then? Just curious, since you seem to know so much.

[@aleph3566]

[@SloppyMcFloppy1029]

I love the cover art of puppet so much

[@motuvlogs4923]

Yeah, same here! It looks like something that should be, like, a comic book or something. Actually, someone should make a comic based off of Puppet's cover art... that would be amazing!

[@Warden_Siege]

[@Calvin_Coolage]

The background art is fantastic.

[@md9558]

You know, some of my favorite songs have a meaning behind them, they don't have to be religious, but I just love it when something like this comes out. In a world where songs are about sex, drugs, money, and women. I love songs that exist not for the fame, but for the reason that something good can come out of music. At least that's my opinion :)

[@ashleycam72]

Md955 omg me too. Tbh I'm pretty messed up haha. There are songs that I like, but have drugs or bad things in it and I just won't listen to it haha. But I'm exactly the same way dude

[@Kencho27]

Md955 that's what this song is

[@theFastestSloth_001]

Puppet has a unique sound that no other artist really captures. Im just disappointed that he hasnt released new content in a few years now. I would have liked to see what his sound would evolve into.

He has his own KZbin channel and is still making music. He toured last year and his last song released in December.

Hammad Ul Haque ikr, i hate it when people state their opinion as if it is fact

[@algoprasetyo]

When something as subjective as music is in the topic should it be a necessity to say something like "imo" to state it's an opinion? No. I understand every opinion in music but imo should not be needed if music is one of the most subjective topics of all.
