Ripe - Goon Squad (Live From Studio 1)

[@BryanSmith914]

I was listening to the Discovery station on Spotify and Goon Squad came up in the mix, I had to stop working to figure out who I was listening to and to go find everything else you guys had on there. I'm blown away that you are not bigger yet, I love your sound and it immediately puts me in a great mood, love the vibe! Shared on Facebook and definitely buying your music.

[@ripelove]

+Bryan Smith This is amazing - we are incredibly appreciative of your kindness! Welcome to the family Bryan - hope to see you at a show soon!

[@GeorgeAdams123]

+Bryan Smith YEAH! Spotify hooked me up too!

[@redscott7179]

+Ripe Love Had the exact same experience. Found you thanks to Discovery on Spotify and am so glad I did.

[@JamWeLikeTo]

Literally exactly what happened to me. You guys got a new fan. Awesome grooves.

[@zebrainford7368]

Thank you Spotify 👍🏼

[@Conartist554]

10/10 would goon squad again

[@ScalesOfAFish]

I've known about Ripe for all of 5 seconds, and now I'm driving 90+ to see them in D.C. Keep the funk strong, dudes!

[@LucasTown]

did you make it? haha 9 years later.

[@libenhagos9335]

The vocals are fucking amazing

[@cpthddk]

The pump at 2:27 is a classic

[@eligraham5222]

I like this version a lot more than whats on spotify

[@Maltesfilm]

Eli Graham Yeah, this is much better. It’s like there’s more energy in this version, which is fitting for the song.

[@theyorkshiredevilandbaumku6449]

It's also on soundcloud so you might be able to listen to it without being on youtube

[@jaredreynold6336]

Good studio-sessions come with their very own dynamics.

[@seanmyers4357]

These guys are freaking phenomenal! The talent, the heart, the soul, these really have it all. See them live and let yourself experience them, you won't regret it.

[@patrickparker2491]

These guys are excellent. They're giving me Sublime vibes but they actually sound good live.

[@depotdan4654]

I was out of bed, ready for work and out the door in 5 min 6 seconds.....Thank you!

[@DarkIllusionsxX]

Thanks reddit

[@vithral8834]

Seriously. Haven't found a good song on that sub for like a week. This is bloody amazing.

[@arturovillarreal2129]

this sums up all mt thoughts apart from: Holyshit this amazing!!!! Thankyou reddit

[@Isa-vi5rt]

Same here. I'm so glad to have ended up checking it out on that thread. Way worth it!

[@Femi9robin]

which sub?

[@samreplogle6151]

Femi9 Robin r/listentothis

[@ranguy2424]

not only can he sing but he can have fun doing it! something the music industry is lacking IMO. Great job guys!!

[@SniffTheCrease]

Such a hidden gem and still my favorite song, I wish it would blow up

[@ahmadzulfikar8174]

Jon sparks his cigarette Hands it off to Michael while he asks aloud if he should take Liz home again Mike just spits, and grins And drinking in his smoke tells Jon "it's time you learned to swim, if you know what I mean" Pre chorus: Sometimes your friends will be your fix Sometimes your upturned fist But If you are learning to live like this Then I can teach you to live like this Like this Like this, like this... Chorus: We'll Shoot right between the eyes With a message from on high There's no tomorrow till you've earned it I'll Light fires through the night I'm not trying to just survive I want to live cuz I deserve it Don't you worry Don't you worry The goon squad gonna show you how Don't you worry Oh don't worry The goon squad gonna show you how Goon squad shows you how To live life free of chains Shackles on the ground, outstretch your arms, then turn around and find you're home again And when you get there you will see The friends you've made along the way start to look like family if you know what I mean Prechorus Chorus Bridge: How... How to feel it in your bloodstream Louder than your heartbeat Ill teach you what the words mean If you'd just sing along Feel it in your bloodstream Louder than your heartbeat Teach me what the words mean and I'll join you singing (x2)

[@triopkz]

I never comment on youtube videos... But I'll make an exception this time. This song is AMAZING.

[@zachdietz12]

Showed this song to a friend 6 years ago, still brings it up every time we see eachother. Thanks guys, absolutely amazing

[@calaabo]

Man he’s got some soul in his voice I’m all for it

[@caronie33]

He’s sounds like a mix between Bradley Nowell & Sting and I’m all for it!

[@carthonasi3306]

Bunch of friends and I found out about this gem back in college. I remember reaching out to the manager at the time to see what the details would have been to schedule a live show or something. Ultimately weren't able to, but this song was an anthem/nightly-must-play in our fraternity house for months. Goon Squad's gonna show you how.

[@diegoparillo]

Man this song’s just awesome! I guess I hit the replay button at least 1000 times a day hahaha Always keep it up guys! Greetings from Switzerland

[@tripps5415]

I for real cant stop listening to this song.

[@wardrich]

I've fallen into a wild KZbin Rabbithole and I'm loving it. Esme Patterson, Ripe, khruangbin...

[@flowmatic98]

OMG I FINALLY FOUND YOU GUYS! like a year ago you showed up on reddit and I've spent the last year trying to find you guys again. Then one day you showed up in my discover weekly. I'm so happy I found you guys

[@SniffTheCrease]

My favorite song

[@marcosguerra]

How come I’ve only heard this till 2024?

[@joshualessore7652]

The singer is exactly how I imagines him. Big guy, big soul, big voice

[@theyorkshiredevilandbaumku6449]

Hey Ripe, I found this a couple of months back when I was looking for a playlist for my streams, and no I always start the stream with this song, it gets me in the vibe mode for streaming, sometimes I play this twice in a row it's that good, and a few of my followers love this song too

[@robertbohrer7501]

This is really, really good.

[@fireyheart]

Still coming back to this jam two albums later, love it

[@fabskyyeetson6456]

5 years wow can't imagine how many times I've listened to this in that long. Keep jamming guys love

[@so-calschoice2523]

A man named Moon brought me here, and a man named Robbie Wulfsohn kept me grooving here. You guys are smooth as a fresh jar of Skippy!

[@ophelia6866]

Looking forward to their Montreal show this Friday!!!! :D

[@TheDellaniOakes]

Found this completely by accident on a random KZbin list. Fell in love.

[@zackmason8778]

I've been listening to this on repeat for the past week. I love it!

[@mcartney1994]

This is awesome, it has a bit of a Sting feel to it. Pretty awesome stuff guys!

[@ripelove]

Definitely a comparison we've yet to hear. Sting is the man! We're honored!

[@johnsonkwmansfieldct]

The Sting comparison was the first thing I though. A bit of Mercury Falling in this. The vocals are awesome.

[@droleted87]

My wife and I saw these guys open for The Revivalists over the summer. I had never heard of them before that night, but I've been playing their albums on the daily ever since! Such awesome music!

[@Ashwellx]

You guys are gnarly.

[@RockysGems]

Saw this band at Summer Camp and I'm hooked!

[@treehugger23]

Summer Camp?? the music festival in Chillicothe Illinois?

[@jordanpage176]

Saw this band for the firat time at Slice Fest in Birmingham, AL this weekend opening up for GRiZ. one of the most all around amazing bands & by far the most talented vocalist Ive ever heard!! I'm so hooked on you guys now! 🔥💕

[@SporeAttik]

I was there too! Dude's pants fell off and he just sang the rest of the show in his underwear! Incredible...

[@rbjax2001]

Caught these guys at Summer Camp music festival this past weekend. Tight as shit? Affirmative. Funky ass grooves? Confirmed. Highly entertaining and skilled vocalist? Roger that. The full package here folks. You dudes need to come back to the Chicago area.

[@dustmf]

I am addicted to your sound. Please consider coming to Lawrence, Kansas!

[@jasonc1899]

St Paul 1/30/19. Can't wait!!!

[@FernNZjakerZ]

Love this! From Auckland NZ

[@DanBrill]

Dang! I stumbled across you guys on Google Music, and was instantly hooked. I get tired of people my age (pushing 50) saying that there's nothing good being done these days - it's all samples and autotune. But there is great stuff out there! You just have to look, and you guys are the proof. Horns! Guitars! Real drums, fat bass, gritty vocals. This is as good as anything since Elvis. Good luck you guys! I hope you are a household name soon.

[@user-dk9lw4lq3z]

You guys are "Ripe" for some world music charts! Kudos, keep it going!

[@ripelove]

Matjaž Koren We only hope - thank you so much for your kindness!

[@eligraham5222]

This is so good, i absolutely love the vocalist

[@guitar300]

Delicious for my ears!

[@inda_kota]

This song is vital to my daily routine. Great way to start the day.

[@inda_kota]

coming back to this comment to say that my band "The Q-Tip Bandits" has now played with Ripe 5 times and life is crazy. (ps they're real nice guys lol)

[@XXLechero]

This is my song for the year.

[@GeorgeAdams123]

This is amazing, I'm loving this groove

[@coryeller]

he sounds so much more comfortable with the chorus in this recording. sound great!

[@marycawley4704]

Just heard you guys for the first time at Outside the Box and you did an amazing job! Congrats on the win

[@ripelove]

Mary Cawley Thank you Mary and welcome to the family! :) We were super stoked to have such an awesome crowd at that show

[@kilocharlie2182]

not sure how this hasn't blown up yet. it will. you are great.

[@47crazed]

eargasm.

[@MrHugark]

How is it even possible to make music that awesome?

[@Conartist554]

I listen to this song as well as brother sky at least twice a day every day for the last year, saw you guys live in TN, plus you're a pats fan, I gotta show love to my fellow pats fans.

[@johndudek1135]

Saw you fellas in Grand Rapids. You blew the doors off the place and had the whole house bouncing. I needed that show more than you dudes know. Thank you!

[@killerfugu2659]

Thanks Austin (Last Grey Wolf) for having this play on stream, can;t believe this has been out and I've only just heard it, such a fantastic tune!

[@moromics]

[@conasf9102]

Wow they all look so young.

[@edwardmathews9041]

Saw Ripe at GA theater last night. The entire place was hopping! It was so awesome. Thank you for your energy level that is off the charts! Sorry more people were not there to see you! I am your newest fan! You are so great!

[@kylelee2253]

Was watching some live stream and I heard this song! Spent a solid hour going through his Spotify playlist to find the song.. well worth the wait! Now I can't stop listening
