Lyrics
The four tracks of the EP carefully selected from various albums of Goo Goo Dolls manage to bring out the very essence of the Goo Goo Dolls that has been loved by the fans for decades. The EP starts with 'As I Am' with the hook that says "Calling out for you again, you always find my way, Calling out for you, you know you heal these empty days", instantly taking listeners to that wistful lover's voice reminiscing of 'Iris.' The stripped-down version of 'Bulletproof Angel' strikes all the right chords of the heart where the lyrics say "Angel, you're bulletproof/ You're so high, you see the truth/ And I'm still on the ground pretending I/ That I could be like you."
'Feel The Silence 2' ups the tempo and the soulful chorus of this track easily makes it one of the best tracks of Goo Goo Dolls. 'Happiest of Days acoustic' shows why even with a stripped-down version, Goo Goo Dolls can deliver the warmest of vocals with exceptional music-making.
