    Art, you are amazing. Your music, your lyrics, and your soulful way of singing. My daughter, Amanda and I have followed you since the beginning. I have 2 photos of us with you around here somewhere. You, sir, are a true inspiration. Much love to you and your family.

    I had the absolute privilege of meeting this inspirational man during the Songs and Stories tour, and his honest vulnerability was so clear. It was like meeting an old friend rather than a rock star. This song is no exception to the Art Alexakis vulnerability test.

      I met him at the Liquid Soul music festival in Phoenix Az years ago and he was so nice to all his fans.

    The music you can feel in your soul, make you laugh, make you cry, make you wanna live, and knows when to let you die

    Man you're so awesome and underrated... The world will come to realize this too late like all great artists. That's a compliment from society though

    Always so personable and invites us in. Many have been there. And he's not alone in this journey either. Trust me. Keep writing that inspirational stuff we love. Inspires so many of us. Even though you may not think it is now...it certainly is. Much love and prayers for Art. Think he'll be ok for quite a long time. Look to God for strength and everything. God bless always. Much love.

    I was just diagnosed with MS this week. My wife and me had no clue and our 2nd baby is due in 3 weeks, everything was finally perfect in our lives tell this. We're trying to get happy for the baby but we can't stop crying.

      I was diagnosed in 2019 right after my son was born. Would have been sooner but i didnt want to freak my wife out by telling her what issues i was having at the time (lost vision in my right eye). She had a risky pregnancy as it was so i didn't want to add stress of worrying about me that close to birthing our kid! She also has ms so i already knew what to expect when i got diagnosed and my dr was floored because i was just like oh. ok. that sucks 🤣

    Art, I am continually amazed at your journey in life and how you react to what is put before you. You have had a profound impact on me and I could never put into words how you have shaped my life. I love you, Art. I wish the best successes for this new album, and for you and your family.

    Art this is so poignant and good, and with perfect timing. Thank you ! I can’t wait to score this and blast it at home and in the car. I saw you this spring twice and it was amazing. Your music helped and continues to help me greatly in my recovery. Plus this song is so noble-it applies exactly to something with someone I’m going through. Thank you 🙏 !!!

    I attempted to type up the lyrics, since I couldn't find them yet online. Sorry for any mistakes/misheard lyrics.
    Art Alexakis "The Hot Water Test") Lyrics
    My doctors told me that I had a disease
    I will slowly fall apart until there's nothing left that looks like me (oh!)
    I smile at people as I walk to my car, to call my wife
    I told her everything the doctors had said, then we both began to cry
    She said easy can be hard to do
    Life can be ugly or beautiful and new, it's up to me, and it's up to you
    She said heaven isn't hard to see, it looks life with our family, in this house that we call home
    I will never leave you
    I take my shots and I walk the walk, in every kind of way
    I look for balance in the things that get harder every day
    I'm afraid I will never be the man that I used to be
    I'm afraid I will never be the man that I want the world to see, when it looks at me
    I know easy can be hard to do
    Life can be ugly or beautiful and new, it's up to me, to do what I have to do
    I know heaven isn't hard to see, it looks life with my family and me, in this house that we call home
    I will never leave you alone
    I will never leave you
    I will never leave you alone
    I will never leave you
    I will never leave you alone
    I wanna go in my own time
    I wanna find a brand new life (love?)
    I want to feel safe until they put me in the water and the truth comes out
    Oh, happy can be hard to find
    The puzzle makes sense when the pieces fall in line
    I'm teaching myself a new way to live my life
    I know easy can be hard to do
    Life can be ugly or beautiful and new, it's up to me, to do what I have to do
    I know heaven isn't hard to see, it looks life with my family and me, in this house that we call home
    I will never leave you alone
    I will never leave you
    I will never leave you alone
    I will never leave you
    I will never leave you alone
