@thecrispysin

I remember listening to this in early 2013, I was preparing for my Uni entrance.I accidentally found this but was listening to it a lot! I lost my old phone and I couldn't recollect all the songs on my Playlist. All of a sudden I remembered this song, I played it now. Can't believe years just passed by. But the song still is soothing and made my day! I love the video, totally chilled out and it was bunch of people having so much fun. No drama!
