This song makes me cry... I’ve grown up with them and you know we’re all grown up now. They’re still around and active but in a different way - we’ve all moved on. For the better, but it can still feel a little bit sad sometimes. Every once in a while you miss the old days.
“Let you heart control your mind, make it feel like the first time.”
I think of the first time I ever heard them and saw a video of them and how I fell in love instantly. I’ve never loved an artist or music group more than them and they were also my first. The first people I ever found on my own and began to listen to. They are special to me and probably always will be. I can’t explain the affect they’ve had on my life. All I can say is that I love them very much and am proud of them.

Hannah Leah they back now!
