Keep Playing Games - John Philbrick & Steve Maggiora - Single (2025) - Digital Download

Keep Playing Games - Digital Download

Keep Playing Games is a gritty blues-rock track about mixed signals, bad habits, and reaching the point where you’re done getting pulled back into the same old cycle.

Driven by raw guitars, a heavy groove, and soulful vocals, the song leans into the tension between attraction and frustration - when you know the chemistry is real, but so are the games.

It’s bluesy, punchy, and unapologetic, with one foot in classic rock and the other in modern soul.
