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."

Still Woozy Lyrics

Then you make me stand guard at the bedroom door
I want to know everything you do
No I never mind
Do it a thousand times
Just let me close to you
'Cause in the dead of night
There's no cold that could cut through
Do you miss me, too?
Wish you were in my room
I just can't shake this off, I've tried (?)
And will you fly back to me?
There's no one we gotta see
No, there's no other place we should be
There's no other place we should be
I talk a lot of shit for someone who can't talk
And then you send it back to my face, love
You never never put up with (?), and never will stop
I hope you never do, babe
No I never mind
Do it a thousand times
Just let me close to you
'Cause in the dead of night
With you by my side
There's no cold that could cut through
Do you miss me, too?
Wish you were in my room
I just can't shake this off, I've tried (?)
And will you fly back to me?
There's no one we gotta see
No, there's no other place we should be
There's no other place we should be
Do you miss me, too?
Wish you were in my room
I just can't shake this off, I've tried (?)
And will you fly back to me?
There's no one we gotta see
No, there's no other place we should be
There's no other place we should be
In the song Wolfcat, Still Woozy writes about his feelings of being protective and in love with someone he cares about. The opening lines set the scene for a conversation between two people, where one person admits to always wanting to watch something scary late at night, but then needing the other to stand guard at the bedroom door. This creates an image of vulnerability and fear, but also of trust and protection. The singer then goes on to express his desire to know everything that the other person does and assures them that he never minds doing so, no matter how many times they ask. The chorus amplifies this sense of loyalty and protection, as the singer describes the warmth and safety of having the other person by his side. The repeated line "There's no other place we should be" cements the idea that the two people are meant to be together and nowhere else.
The second verse is more introspective, as the singer reflects on his own flaws and doubts. He confesses to talking a lot of "shit" while also acknowledging that the other person never puts up with it and that he hopes she never will. This shows a layered understanding of their relationship, where both people care for each other deeply but also challenge each other to be better. The chorus is repeated again, this time with an added sense of longing and the hope of being reunited. The bridge contains a repetition of the line "Do you miss me, too?" which reinforces the connection between the two characters and their mutual affection. The final lines of the song express the singer's hopes for the future, where he pleads for the other person to "fly back to me" and assures her that there's no one else they need to see, and no other place they should be.

@kikisdeliveryservice8601
im so fucking sad
and i really love this song.
makes me think about how i keep falling in love with the wrong people
and how she'll never love me.
i'm failing school, i just want to sleep
edit (9/24/21): its neat to see that people are still resonating with my words two years later. It does get better. I know its so hard to see that right now. Surround yourself with people who appreciate you just as much as you appreciate them. People fall in and out of love, and life doesnt always give you the right timing. It's been a chaotic and crazy two years, and I wish you all the best.

This guy is the literal definition of underrated tbh
@molomono9481
Everybody in the comments talking about how this is a great record/artist and you call him underrated... Under-acknowledged for sure, undervalued maybe, but im pretty sure this doesn't qualify as underrated.
