The latest entry on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theredhandfiles.com\/genuinely-joyful-song\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Red Hand Files<\/a> site, where he answers questions from fans, asks him, \u201cWhich song comes to mind when you are genuinely joyful? I mean, carefree, energy flowing, dancing, moving, kind of happy?\u201d He answers at length about Geese\u2019s \u201cTrinidad\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\nThis morning, I got up at five, I couldn\u2019t sleep, I\u2019d fretted about this and I\u2019d fretted about that. The night had played its cruel trick of turning all the good things in my life into bad things, and it was all what-ifs, and yeah-buts, and what-abouts swirling around in my mind. I crept out of the house so as not to wake Susie, putting on a winter coat because the temperature had dropped and it was sleeting outside.<\/p>\n<p>I walked to the park through the woods and across the lawns. All the ducks were quacking, the Egyptian geese were honking, and the swans flapped about, the leaves were falling from the trees, and the sky looked like my mind \u2013 sleety, unsettled and rumbling. Down at the lake, I could tell the water temperature had dropped significantly because some early morning swimmers were standing around, shivering and slapping themselves, their skin reddened by the cold. I stripped off my clothes and leapt in, swimming across the lake in my usual dithering way, allowing the icy water to do its work \u2013 rearranging the blood, cleansing the temple, expelling the morning demons. I got out, dressed, shivering so much I could barely tie my shoelaces, then grabbed a coffee from the caf\u00e9 and walked back across the park. I put my earphones in and played Geese\u2019s new album, Getting Killed. The first song starts with Cameron Winter singing, in his lovely, plaintive way \u2013<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI try\/ I try\/ I try so hard\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u2013 and I feel those simple words down to my soul, because we all try, because we all try so hard, and when the band kicks into the chorus \u2013 I mean, my God, those drums \u2013 and Cameron Winter screams, again and again \u2013<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a bomb in my car! There\u2019s a bomb in my car!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 all worry is laid to waste. The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water, the music pounding through my body, the caffeine, the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky \u2013 no what-ifs, no yeah-buts, no what-abouts, no caveats, at all. I am made happy, and that happiness is entire and incontestable. And all the way home, I go\u2014to my beautiful waking wife \u2013 on this, the best day ever.<\/p>\n<p>Love, Nick\n<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Patti Smith said \u201csuddenly I felt optimistic\u201d upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/brooklynvegan\/p\/DQZaGZUAP6J\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hearing Geese on the radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The band have had an exceptionally busy week, playing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynvegan.com\/watch-geese-cover-leonard-cohen-the-stooges-more-at-intimate-blue-note-jazz-club-show\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">intimate, covers-filled show<\/a> at Blue Note Jazz Club, releasing a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynvegan.com\/watch-geeses-new-from-the-basement-session\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">From the Basement session<\/a>, and being a last minute addition to Tyler the Creator\u2019s the rescheduled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynvegan.com\/camp-flog-gnaw-adds-kali-uchis-geese-blood-orange-more-to-rescheduled-2025-lineup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival<\/a>, which now happens this weekend.
