First Reaction + Deep Dive: "Gotta Feed My Dog" by The Joy Formidable (Into the Blue, 2021)

Описание: I did a driving reaction to "Gotta Feed My Dog" by The Joy Formidable. Usually I will just give my initial thoughts based on the sound, the energy, and how it hits me on first listen and be done with it but I kinda went into a rabbit hole on this one. Found an incredible live bootleg that made me love this song! Plus a little deep dive into the lyrics. I’m working through the whole Into the Blue album, if you've missed my reviews thus far, here is the playlist:
