George Collins’ Newest Jazzy Pop Rock Blend Captures Family Life and Musicianship

George Collins is back with his newest jazzy pop rock song “Where Have I Been All Your Life,” the second release from his upcoming sophomore EP, Songs for Grown-ups.

"Where Have I Been All Your Life" is captivating because it delves deep into the personal struggles and sacrifices of George’s life and career as he paints a vivid picture of the challenges he faces in balancing his musical pursuits with the responsibilities of being present for his family. This hits home for a lot of you, I know it does for me. You hear it in the open lyrics as he sings “Another night of waiting/Waiting for my key in the door/It’s gotta be frustrating/Like so many nights before/An empty glass beside you/When I get home I hang my head/I promised I’d be back in time/To put the kids to bed. 

The song not only highlights George’s vulnerability and relatability as a parent, but also his stark lyricism. His songwriting is unmatched. His words truly take the thoughts out of your head. They way he puts words together to express his emotions are honest and raw. Blended with his catchy and unique pop rock style, “Where Have I Been All Your Life” delivers everything you want in a song.

George’s journey as a musician began at a young age, and his dedication to honing his craft is evident in his skillful guitar and piano playing. Despite facing the disillusionment of older musicians, he made a conscious decision to pursue a different path and avoid falling into the traps of substance abuse and unfulfilled dreams.

However, it was the transformative experience of becoming a parent in 2012 that led him to make a profound choice. Sacrificing a successful career in the financial sector, he chose to nurture his creative world and embrace the role of a dedicated full-time parent. This decision adds another layer of depth to "Where Have I Been All Your Life," as it reflects the internal struggles and choices that define Collins's journey as an artist and a family man.

With its infectious melodies and jazzy undertones, "Where Have I Been All Your Life" really showcases George’s unique ability to blend genres seamlessly. The song's catchy hooks and emotionally resonant lyrics encapsulates an immersive listening experience that leaves a lasting impact. It’s a must listen!
