literally this feels like a middle schooler and his guidance counselor having a zoom call

[@kyragrayc]

honestly, rocksound waterparks interviews are some of the best

[@HannaSis]

I’m so glad he talked about Crying Over It All not getting enough recognition. The first time I listened to it, I literally fell in over with all the layers. It’s such a cool song. Sure all of the popular songs are awesome as well, and in love them just as much, but the underrated songs are just so much cooler in their uniqueness.

[@avamaria0715]

literally!! it’s the high definition of greatest hits

[@HannaSis]

@@avamaria0715 yesss

[@HannaSis]

I love how he corrected himself and said “see you in in the future “ he’s so cute 😭

[@juliannastars]

my mom walked in mid me watching this and goes “are you on a school meeting” LMAOOO i’m like you damn well know that’s awsten talking, so does it look like i’m doing school work 😭😭

[@avamaria0715]

Rocksound x Waterparks = best videos ever 💙❤💛

[@herekittykitty980]

Loved seeing them in Nashville, can't wait for their next tour or meet and greet!!!!

[@abiengland2883]

with regards to greatest hits being ‘long’: does anyone else feel like it’s not actually a long run time? like as he says 17 songs just sounds intimidating. but industry standard seems to be that the average song length is 3-3:30 minutes and a lot of the songs on gh are like 2:30. obviously they can do what they like, awsten’s made it pretty clear that he’s not really interested in industry ‘rules’ or whatever, and I’m not complaining, just that i’d maybe like a little more of each song because they’re good and I’m not ready for them to be over when they are 😂

[@avamaria0715]

he’s my favourite person ever

[@juliannastars]

cant wait to follow them on tour again 🤩

[@milesarvy]

SEE YOU IN IN THE FUTURE HAS MY WHOLE HEART
