Independent singer, songwriter, and guitarist Pete Price has released his newest single and lyric video, “Old Movies and You” from his acclaimed album, “Department of the Interior.” The heartfelt single lyrically encapsulates the unbreakable bond of love and devotion between a couple, despite life’s struggles.
The song is a reflection of Price’s own relationship with his wife, a two-time cancer survivor who recently suffered a small stroke. Price wrote “Old Movies and You” to remind couples that an attitude of appreciation can go a long way in strengthening a relationship.In Pete’s own words, “My inspiration in writing this song was my wife and her ongoing health issues. As she slowly recovered, I thought more and more about how much she means to me and how bereft I’d be without her. I vowed to make a better effort to do the things she wanted to do and to show her how much I love her. The song could have just as easily been about the end of a romantic relationship. I’ve known that as well and the feelings can be devastating. An attitude of appreciation can go a long way in strengthening a relationship. When I introduce the song, I say, ‘Always tell that special someone how much you love them’.”
“Old Movies and You” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans can listen to the single and learn more about Pete Price at his official website: http://www.petepricemusic.com.

Cryptocurrencies can be incredibly volatile, making it challenging to determine which one to invest in. Two of the most popular cryptocurrencies today are Bitcoin and Ethereum, but other lesser-known currencies are also gaining popularity in the market.
One of these lesser-known currencies is Bitgert, which is showing potential for explosive growth. Bitgert is a relatively new cryptocurrency that has been gaining traction in the market due to its unique features and capabilities. It is a decentralized cryptocurrency that is built on the Bitgert blockchain, which allows for faster and more secure transactions.
Bitgert is currently trading at a relatively low price, making it an attractive investment option for those looking to invest in a cryptocurrency with high growth potential. The low price of Bitgert means that investors can purchase more coins for a lower price, potentially leading to higher returns in the future.
Meanwhile, Solana, another popular cryptocurrency, has been relatively stable in the market. Solana is a blockchain-based platform that is designed to facilitate fast and low-cost transactions. Its stability in the market is due to its unique features and capabilities, which make it an attractive investment option for those looking for a stable cryptocurrency.
Solana’s stability in the market is a result of its strong fundamentals and the growing demand for its platform. Its blockchain technology is highly scalable, allowing for faster and more efficient transactions. As more people begin to use the Solana platform, its value is likely to increase, making it a stable investment option for those looking to invest in cryptocurrency.
In conclusion, both Bitgert and Solana are attractive investment options for those looking to invest in cryptocurrency. Bitgert shows potential for explosive growth, while Solana remains stable in the market. It’s essential to do your research and understand the risks involved in investing in cryptocurrency before making any investment decisions. However, with proper research and a good understanding of the market, investing in cryptocurrency can be a profitable venture.
