(1) Strawberr… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands called Strawberry Girls.
(1) Strawberry Girls is an instrumental trio from Salinas, CA, featuring Zachary Garren (Ex-Dance Gavin Dance) on guitar, Ben Rosett on drums, and Ian Jennings on bass.
The project began as a duo in April 2011 when Ben Rosett (drums) and Zachary Garren (guitar) decided to attempt writing music together for fun. It worked so well that they decided to keep writing and eventually performed together. Immediately after their first performance, Ian Jennings (bass) excitedly approached the two of them and shouted, "I wanna be a Strawberry Girl!" The Girls then proceeded to look into his heart. Upon seeing that it was pure, they agreed to grant his wish. While recording their first EP, a fellow commoner by the name of Caleb Ellison (keyboard) offered up his Moog Voyager as a sacrifice to the Girls' cause. Moved by Caleb's offering, the Girls allowed him to enter into their cult and was quickly placed in charge of filling gaps with his analog butter. After releasing Italian Ghosts, Strawberry Girls became a trio as their synth player, Caleb Ellison, left the band to focus on his academic career.
Their debut album, "Italian Ghosts", was recorded & mixed by Ben Rosett at his home studio, "The Grime Lab". After mixing, the album was then mastered by Ian Jennings at his home studio.
(1) Strawberry Girls is a seven-member Japanese idol group formed on September 5, 2021.
They made their stage debut on October 2, 2021 @TSUTAYA O-Crest.
Overrated
Strawberry Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm filled with regret
But I'm not mad
And you're upset
What needs to be done
I'm too sensitive
To be the bigger man
This time just listen to me
Of this
Cuz this bliss is overrated
You always make me into something that I'm feeling at the moment
When it's over and I keep it going
I keep it going
You always make me into something that I'm feeling at the moment
When it's over and I keep it going
Keep it going
Keep it going
I close my eyes and I remember everything you hate about me
I feel emptiness and now I'm mad
And I can't shake this cuz you're too confident
It makes me nervous
Maybe all of this is overrated
You always make me into something that I'm feeling at the moment
When it's over and I keep it going
I keep it going
You always make me into something that I'm feeling at the moment
When it's over and I keep it going
I keep it going
The song "Overrated" by Strawberry Girls is about a turbulent relationship that has reached its end. The lyrics depict the aftermath of a fight that the singer regrets, but at the same time they are not ready to take the blame solely. The opening lines suggest that they might have hurt the other person's feelings, but they are not angry and are willing to resolve the issue. However, they are too sensitive to be the mature person in the situation, and they ask that the other person listens to them for once. Both individuals need to be free of the bliss of their relationship, which the singer believes is overrated.
The second part of the song sees the singer introspectively analyze themselves and the relationship. They realize that the other person tends to amplify their emotions and make them into something they are not. As much as they try to move on, they are stuck with the negative feelings of emptiness and anger, and the other person's confidence makes things worse as the singer becomes nervous. They wonder if the whole relationship was overrated, and they continue to keep it going despite it being over.
In summary, the song "Overrated" by Strawberry Girls portrays a situation where emotions are heightened, and both individuals struggle to find a resolution. Both parties are not ready to take responsibility, and the singer identifies the relationship as overrated.

Out of all the DGD singers, I feel like Kurt was the best Musician. Yeah jonny has that voice everyone loves and Tillian has the range, but kurt's lyrics and musicality was unparalleled. Plus his vocals have improved so much since his time with DGD
@maratsglad
He fit DGD so well man
@jcloudy8508
He is definitely my favorite of the dgd singers. Johnny had that soulful voice that broke dgd out of ambiguity. Tilian is the new pop movement of dgd, and his hook power is godlike. But I think the real dgd feel belongs to Kurt. He can just pull off so many emotions in the way he uses his pronunciation
@118JThompson
+Wesley Esquivel Check out Tilian's old baby, Tides of Man, or his solo project. Kurt's a great musician, but if you watch Tilian perform "A Faint Illusion", just woah man. I like Kurt as a vocalist more than Tilian, I like Jonny more as a singer than either. To me, as vocalists, Jonny>Kurt>Tilian, but as overall musicians Tilian>Kurt>Jonny.
@brittanyc3282
EXACTLY
that's what I always say
@mtjuicebxxnise2555
I agree! He is my favorite DGD singer. I love everything Kurt does. A Lot Like Birds and his solo stuff. He's just amazing and definitely in my top favorite musicians.
@BRNardy
This is definitely my favorite Strawberry Girls song. I love all the others, but this... Since the day it came out, up to this day, it gives me feels I can't even begin to describe.
