Where's my will?
Why this strange desire
That keeps morning higher?
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill
Where's my will?

That keeps morning higher?
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

This music must have been so relaxing for those people who were about to burn to death moments earlier

There are those who do not understand why Billie changed music. This is a stunning example. Moving through the music as virtuoso instrument, she changed the way singers approach lyrics. She was the best.

@The Official Verne The Turtle YouTube Channel x2. But I think this is very weird to listen when you are being rescued from a fire.

I love how everyone is here right after reading watchmen, and specially how everyone searched this song up on YouTube
I feel a bit less lonely
Lucas Castello
You shouldn't feel like this
Even if you have nobody, some random comic novel lead me to you, think how many people are there who can make you feel loved and never lonely again
