After he went viral with the R&B-inflected "Goodie Bag" in 2017, he continued to release one-off tracks until presenting the Lately EP in 2019. It included another streaming hit, "Habit."
Growing up in Moraga, California, Gamsky began playing the guitar in middle school and recording his own music when he was 13. While in high school, he played guitar and bass in the band Shoot the Roots, which also featured classmates Cole Leksan and Jack Morris. After graduating in 2010, Gamsky played in the indie rock band Feed Me Jack and gave guitar lessons while attending the University of California, Santa Cruz. As a music major, he studied classical guitar while minoring in electronic music. He completed his degree in 2015, and Feed Me Jack called it quits the following year.
Gamsky debuted his solo project, Still Woozy, with the warped and jazzy "Vacation" in April 2017, following it weeks later with "Cooks," which proved to be a streaming breakthrough. Later the same year, the highly stylized soul of "Goodie Bag" became an even bigger online hit, amassing tens of millions of streams. He released periodic singles over the next year-and-a-half until landing a distribution deal with Interscope for his label Still Woozy Productions. They released the debut EP Lately EP in May 2019. It contained "Habit," which became his biggest hit since "Goodie Bag."
Still Woozy returned with more original material in 2020, including "Window" and "Cheesin'," the latter a collaborative track for Republic Records with artists including Cautious Clay, Remi Wolf, and Claud. Back on his own, he kicked off 2021 with "Rocky."
Drake
Still Woozy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want is to be happy
All I want
All I want is love
All I get is another day
All I get is another day
That I can't
When I wake up slap my face
When I wake up far away
Now we're laid up, all okay
And we made up for today
All I want is to be laughing
All I want is to be laughing
With you one
With you one more time
But I know now I've been stupid
Just keep moving
That's what you said
And I will
And I will alright
When I wake up slap my face
When I wake up far away
Now we're laid up, all okay
And we made up for today
The lyrics to Still Woozy's song Drake are about the desire for happiness and love amidst the struggles of daily life. The repeated refrain "All I want is to be happy" emphasizes the importance of this pursuit, while "All I get is another day/That I can't get out of" conveys the sense of feeling stuck or trapped in a monotonous routine. The verses suggest a longing for connection with someone else, particularly the desire to share laughter and good times. However, there is also a sense of regret and self-awareness, as the singer recognizes that they have made mistakes in the past and need to focus on moving forward.
The line "When I wake up slap my face" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the need to snap out of negative patterns or thoughts, while "When I wake up far away" could be a reference to the feeling of disconnection from oneself or others. The bridge of the song, where the singer vows to "keep moving" despite their missteps, is a message of resilience and determination.
Overall, the lyrics to "Drake" suggest a complicated emotional landscape, in which the desire for happiness is both powerful and elusive, and the pursuit of love and connection is complicated by a sense of personal responsibility and the need to overcome past mistakes.
