Because this song makes me happy, which is the best weapon to have when facing an Albatross.
The video doesn’t quite suit the song, but it’s beautiful regardless. And the song rocks.

Yay. Access to money is a Good Thing.My shiny new credit card (different to the card mentioned above). Access to emergency money is also…… Continue reading We LOVES Arts SA
