ManCrush: Tom Goss
We’ve long been a fan of Tom Goss.
“The truth is, most things in life happen for no reason at all, and are completely out of our control…” says Goss, reflecting on his latest album, Remember What It Feels Like. “The only thing we can control is how we feel in the moment. There will be sweet times and sad times, highs and lows; I embrace them all. I want to remember what every experience felt like, even those that weren’t pleasant, because ultimately, I am happy with who I am today. I’ve been shaped by every experience and so therefore, all of them have been good.”
“I’m very self-critical…” adds Tom. “Even as a kid, I would get frustrated when I felt I fell short on a goal, and my mother would say, ‘Tom, the perfect is the enemy of the good.’ It struck me as powerful, and I continue to notice that my need to achieve perfection does little in the way of producing art, or happiness. Joy and creativity flow when I allow myself to be flawed.”
