@@LaceyJohnsonMusiconce country islands would you rather be told that your music is terrible or listen to music that you think is terrible? I asked him that because my mom feels guilty about not liking country and this is the song that I want a country artist cover.

[@spunoffsee]

Me, scrolling through KZbin: "Ooooh, a new Lacey cover...let us see what it is..." *Notices Title* "Welp, I shall now begin singing along and vibing the rest of the week!" Great stuff as always!

How does the best Live and Learn cover on this platform have so few views? Amazing keytar solo, great bass work, and vocals that retain the power, speed, and passion of Crush 40. I personally would have gone just a tad bit heavier, but as my name suggests I'm a bit biased. I have a long way to go before I could produce anything this awesome. Good luck on your journies.

This cover song you're playing is amazing! Live and Learn is my favourite sonic song by crush 40. Today, I just finished beating the final boss in Sonic Adventure 2 for the first time ever. While fighting the boss, I was literally singing live & learn! Reason I'm playing Sonic Adventure 2 never beated the end of the game also because 2024 is the year of Shadow The Hedgehog! Sonic Superstars Shadow Costume Skin, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie Man, I have been a sonic fan throughout my whole life since I was 4 or 5 years old, Now I'm 24! Sonic Adventure 2 was the very first video game 🎮 I ever played in my life on the gamecube at my grandma's house, which made me the sonic fan I am today. I remember my sister & cousins would always play multiplayer together, I'd always loved playing as shadow! then later my grandma for some reason got the gamecube away until years later. I bought a gamecube controller since I had wii to plug into it but also got Sonic Adventure 2 game! Which felt so nostalgia for me in a long time. I miss those old times playing multiplayer with my cousins back in the 00's If Live & Learn ever appears in Sonic The Hedgehog 3, it will make everyone cry in joy even me and my friends in the cinema 🎥 Bet you will cry too Your song is 🔥

[@LaceyJohnsonMusic]
