Such an underrated song. The Way I R and Apologize are the big stars in the album, but there's something about this song that I can't get enough of. It's just the way the sounds reverberate against each other and the droning sound, almost like a moan possessed by a synthesized drum. And then there's the guitar quietly aiding the beat in the background. I had no idea it existed until about a year ago. Kind of wish it was a single with its own music video

@PurplePinkRed

I agree with everything you said! I think whenever Timbo and JT come together, it's so darn good!
