Savoring The Sensual Rhythms Of “Moonlight Shoreside” By The Good Neighbors
Buckle up, folks, because The Good Neighbors are back with a banger that’s bound to make waves. Hailing from the vibrant city of Buffalo, NY, this genre-defying crew is turning heads once again with their latest single, “Moonlight Shoreside.” Led by the dynamic duo of Connor Getz and Jacob Frasier, The Good Neighbors are on a mission to blur the lines between jazz, pop, and indie, and let me tell you, they’re doing it with style.
“Moonlight Shoreside” isn’t just a song; it’s a vibe. Picture this: you’re strolling along the shore on a balmy summer night, the moon casting its silvery glow over the sand. The air is thick with anticipation as you steal glances at your companion, wondering if tonight’s the night when sparks will fly. That’s the energy The Good Neighbors bring to the table with this track.
From the get-go, “Moonlight Shoreside” hooks you in with its infectious melodies and irresistible groove. The combination of shimmering synths, funky basslines, and crisp percussion creates a sonic tapestry that’s as intoxicating as a sea breeze on a hot day. Seriously, try listening to this song without tapping your foot – I dare you.
But it’s not just the music that’s got us hooked; it’s the story behind the song that really pulls at the heartstrings. “Moonlight Shoreside” is a tale of longing and uncertainty, set against the backdrop of a moonlit rendezvous by the water. As the lyrics unfold, we’re drawn into a world of whispered secrets and stolen moments, where the line between friendship and something more becomes increasingly blurred.
In the chorus, vocalist Connor Getz lays it all on the line, his voice dripping with emotion as he sings, “Now the others are all gone. Why continue to lead me on?” It’s a gut-wrenching plea for clarity in the midst of confusion, and it hits you right in the feels.
But don’t let the heavy subject matter fool you – “Moonlight Shoreside” is also a whole lot of fun. There’s a playful energy running through the track that’s impossible to resist, like a game of cat and mouse between two star-crossed lovers. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab your crush by the hand and dance the night away under the moonlight.
Ultimately, “Moonlight Shoreside” is a certified bop that’s guaranteed to get you in your feelings and on your feet at the same time. The Good Neighbors have knocked it out of the park once again with this one, delivering a track that’s equal parts sexy, soulful, and downright addictive.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
