RIP Mehdi. He didnt die from drugs, from gun violence... He died in an innocent accident celebrating a birthday of a dear friend. Standup guy that is sorely missed by this world

This song validated me far more than any top 40 singer/songwriter female vocalist every did. Thank you, Mehdi, for making me feel like I'm someone.
