Do you really think so ? Maybe she wouldn’t have uploaded her vidz had she not understood that. She has talent and she also sings soulfully . A rare and unique combination.

Totally, especially considering she wasn't born until 1999. There's an Australian girl name Sarah Jane that is kind of similar, probably about the same age too. Even her original songs sound grunge.

1979 has always been my favorite Pumpkins song, with Disarm second. I still remember the first time I heard it - I had just seen my cousins one summer for the first time in over a year, and one of them played this song while we were swimming. He explained how the "tuna fish" sound in the song was an accident Billy Corgan made into the mic but was kept in the song. It was a long time ago, a time when life was simpler and happier and my memory is so clear because of that. Well done as always.

LYRICS: [Verse 1] Shakedown 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skippin' like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end To it all [Chorus] And I don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below [Verse 2] Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues Down to see [Chorus 2] That we don't even care As restless as we are We feel the pull In the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement [Bridge] Lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope [Verse 3] Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it To see [Chorus 1] That we don't even care To shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed Into the earth below [Outro] The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
