Dripfield by Goose – A Song Feature

 

     Fortunately, we dropped the third strike. We are simultaneously proud to post “Dripfield” and sheepish because it took us so long. We typically leave “jam bands” for other blogs. Goose sometimes resists the “jam band category,” but they have all the positive characteristics of being a chartered member (“Strike 1”). We typically favor guitar-based music – “Dripfield” has strong guitar play but features percussion over guitar (Strike 2). And typically, we don’t post songs the are a year-old. Goose released the song as the title track in early 2022 (Strike 3). It is the title track of their 2022 studio album.
 
     Under baseball rules a batter is not automatically “out” if the third strike is dropped. So, despite our previous bad calls in listening to “Dripfield,” the song is posted today. Goose is a 5-member band from Norwalk, Connecticut. The members are Rick Mitarotonda (guitar, vocals), Peter Anspach (guitar, piano, synth), Trevor Weekz (bass), Ben Atkind (drums), and Jeff Arevalo (bongos, shaker, cowbell, drums). Based on “Dripfield,” it is not a surprise that the band includes two percussionists.
 
     The tour schedule of Goose is available at https://www.goosetheband.com/tour. Among the stops are two shows at Oakland’s Fox Theater on September 25 and 26.

Lyrics of Dripfield by Goose
How did he let down?
How did he get down in it?
How did he show them?
How did he hold them in it?
 
How did he come to?
How did he run true through it?
How was it in full?
Boundless and simple
Love
 
Lonely roam
Onerated soul
Oh the rain it calls
Howling up
 
Season come
Oh the reeds you run
Such a heedless one
Climbing out
 
There I hear him stepping
Overhead in heaven
Oceans still I‘m treading
Turned out to the retting
Caught under the crescent
Undertow I fell in
Water I keep pressing
Water I keep pressing
Down
 
Holy one
Constellated sum
Separated from
All above
 
Love lit hue
What’s a naked view
If I’m adjacent you
Always?
 
(I still can’t see what I’m keeping on my back
Keep falling around in circles
Still don’t know where my mouth is
Keep falling around in circles
Still don’t know where my blood is
Why you gotta be such a soldier all the time )
 
Howling out the prism
Calling for the rhythm
Time’s my only prison
Dripfield where you sitting
Rising like the weather
Blood gets pumping redder
I know that life comes better
I know that life comes better
In love
 
Holy one
Constellated sum
Separated from
All above
 
Hull undone
Saturated tongue
Oh the rain it comes
Howling out
 
Love lit hue
What’s a naked view
If I’m adjacent you
Always?
 
Season wide
Everlasting tide
It’s coming back just like
Always
