I asked friends about this, and they actually admitted addiction to the dopamine rush from social media. I think social media is a very productive tool to get music and art out there, but I feel we need to be careful about investing too much time into others&#8217; approval.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>This song is powered by Joe Scheirich\u2019s golden voice and his excellent ear for tidying up arrangements.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>I am always exploring styles and new ideas. Moving back to Kentucky has been very inspirational. More guitars, louder amps, the energy is real in Kentucky!&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;Alive&#8221; is now streaming. All proceeds benefit Paws 4 The Cause where George has adopted his last three dogs.
