Dopamine (Official Music Video)

Counterfeit Self (Dan Terpstra)'s humorous look at our addiction to all things 'dopamine' ranging from racing to the phones when you wake up or to the sugar constantly. It's really quite sad so why not see it in a light-hearted way?
Originally written and recorded within less than 20 minutes on December 13, 2022 with the video images shot as the first takes were recorded, the final mix was completed on November 9, 2023 after having only 2-3 revisions on vocals or drums. In most cases, the original takes were used as subsequent versions didn't have quite the same spark.
The lyrics:
Dopamine
Got a jump, got a run, got a scroll, find some fun, dopamine
Gotta eat, got a screw, got a search, what to do? Dopamine!
I just wanna feel, Something clean
It’s an addiction if you know what I mean
Dopamine , Dopamine
Dopamine’s a drug, nothing less maybe more.
Gotta inject just an itty bitty score,
dopamine!
Gotta shop, gotta sleep, got a listen, way too deep. Dopamine!
Can not stop, losing fun, this is just, addiction. Dopamine!
I just wanna feel, Something clean
It’s an addiction if you know what I mean
I just wanna feel something clean
Dopamine
Dopamine’s a drug, nothing less maybe more.
Gotta inject just a little bitty, Score,
Dopamine’s a drug, nothing less maybe more.
Gotta inject just an itty bitty more
dopamine! Dopamine.
I just wanna feel, Something clean
It’s an addiction if you know what I mean
Dopamine
