[@DarkIllusionsxX]

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

[@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 👍🏼

[@libenhagos9335]

The vocals are fucking amazing

[@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.

[@Conartist554]

10/10 would goon squad again

[@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.

[@marcosguerra]

How come I’ve only heard this till 2024?

[@cpthddk]

The pump at 2:27 is a classic

[@patrickparker2491]

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

[@rahishah23]

Camera man, please SHOW THE GUITARIST DURING A GUITAR SOLO!!!! You had everyone and their mom in that shot BUT the guitar!

[@depotdan4654]

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

[@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)

[@SniffTheCrease]

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

[@ranguy2424]

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

[@triopkz]

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

[@joshualessore7652]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@GunnarKafel]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@januszbusko5833]

where the camera was when guitarist played solo??? :(

[@CRUSH6465]

I listen to this daily, is there any way you all can put this out as a single or something, I know at least for one I buy everything you all put out

[@zachdietz12]

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

[@wardrich]

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

[@XXLechero]

This is my song for the year.

[@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

[@jasonlutz9369]

Dope af i wish the video wasnt so cut up amd actually live. If you come to cleveland or pittsburgh ill bring a ton of friends and give you a place to stay for the night, if need be.

[@RockysGems]

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

[@treehugger23]

Summer Camp?? the music festival in Chillicothe Illinois?

[@jteppic4069]

Please get this on spotify, PLEASE.

[@ripelove]

JTeppic It will be available on Spotify this week with our brand new EP, "Hey Hello"! :) Follow us on Facebook to stay up to date!

[@ripelove]

JTeppic Correction: We are live on Spotify now! :) play.spotify.com/album/1hPQOTErkj7sRrlMXuSqnX

[@jteppic4069]

Already playing at work. Cheers guys.

[@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

[@tripps5415]

I for real cant stop listening to this song.

[@conasf9102]

Wow they all look so young.

[@47crazed]

eargasm.

[@josephlambert4845]

Come to the UK! I'm crap at persuasive enticement... but we have people... And, er... Fruit...

[@ripelove]

Joseph Lambert You won us over at "!"

[@moromics]

that dude sounds like Sting on the high notes.. also great track, sounds amazing on my monitors

[@lukecsa9612]

Can't believe this doesn't have more hits!

[@ripelove]

Luke CSA Keep spreading the love and hopefully we will get there! Thank you so much for the kind words brother!

[@crunkwave]

funky as fuck, boys.

[@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.

[@Ashwellx]

You guys are gnarly.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SniffTheCrease]

My favorite song

[@TheDellaniOakes]

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

[@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

[@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...

[@paulieriff]

Homeboy got a Sting thing happening with his voice. Bad ass funk

[@mrJoker4235]

Im not a Dictionary, Nor a Thesaurus.... So I cant put this feeling into words.... But THIS is a WAVE. *Grabs SurfBoard* (FullDisclaimer:Dont own a surfboard.)

[@coryeller]

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

[@0Magicmush0]

Yeah! was wondering what you meant by Goon Squad , cool that you incorporated it in the description.

[@ripelove]

Piet Baudoin Much love Piet!

[@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

[@dustmf]

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

[@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

[@davurbine7766]

holy shit this is good

[@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)

[@fireyheart]

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

[@mattcooper07]

Talk about ripe... My bung hole hasn't seen moisture since 1993.

[@fabskyyeetson6456]

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

[@ryanprobyn8093]

Saw you at Boston common today! So fresh! Gonna be showing this to my mates in England!

[@ripelove]

Ryan Probyn Hell ya. Cheers mate!

[@theheckwithit]

Me and my closest friends call each other goons. So the fact that this song exist is kinda fun and cool, and our theme song in my mind.

[@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.

[@kevinpolania8278]

colombia love ripe clombian and pais

[@alexrob14]

I saw you guys at sailfest and had to look you up because I wasn't sure if it was the beer or the music. Now I know it was the music. Keep on it, I'm looking forward to your next track.

[@ripelove]

Alex Lefebvre haha! Much love Alex. Hope to see you again to grooving with us! (with a side a beer, of course)

[@appleshampew]

This music smells like bong water. Great tune everyone! Keep up the great work!

[@milanp.1755]

Smells like bong water?

[@maxbrown9350]

Guitar solo: *starts* Me wondering where the soloist is: o_0

[@benjorrmin]

Funny, a friend of mine said the same thing to me a couple days ago! Coincidentally, his name is also Max Brown. Wait...

[@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!

[@robertbohrer7501]

[@kilocharlie2182]

[@moet1823]

I bet he could do a great cover of 'Roxanne?'

[@CQBFugitives]

I dont get how the bassist can look so bored while playing such a badass bassline

[@TheGatorDude]

Just a bassist thing, we zone out and make faces that looks like we're disgusted.

[@GeorgeAdams123]

This is amazing, I'm loving this groove

[@guitar300]

Delicious for my ears!

[@ntcn0ah06]
