you would kill for this




there are moments when
when i know it and
the world revolves around us
and we’re keeping it, keep it all going
this delicate balance, vulnerable all knowing
sing like you think no one’s listening

    if anyone ever secretly taped me singing in my car, they would definitely say, she’s singing like she thinks no one is listening. : )

    They were the first band that I really got into, and the band that first got me into music. “Existentialism” is still one of my favorite songs. It’s a shame they got dropped. :(

    Amazing job with the site, especially recently, Danielle!
