Nov 18, 2008 - One of those songs thats just like..wow..oh my god.... & I can't believe this video. I'm in love with it. This is why the world needs and must have music and art. i just can't believe this. It almost has this quality like it was made specifically for me, esp. the video, anybody else feel that? I know this, where has this been hiding?
TravisGM91 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - yeah i get you man, every song is just amazing, which is quite rare in a band, apart from the song "around", the quality of that recording is quite bad, and his singing is different and kinda noobish, it's a good song, it's just quite old if u get me
