NEVERHOME – Amor Fati
I’ve a secret that I want to share. But you must promise not to tell, and not to overuse the information that I’m about to give you. Listen, whenever you want musical inspiration and are looking for something original, you should just…

Tarul – In the dark (Of all the stolen faces)
There might not be anyone out there for you. Just think about the odds for a second. But don’t despair. There certainly has to be a song out there for how you feel at this very moment. There needs to be one songwriter…
