It’s 2012. I’m 17. I don’t pay any bills. I study and work part time and spend the rest of my time playing FIFA 12. This song comes on, and me and my friend nod our heads as we choose the 4-2-3-1 formation as we set our tactics. Things will never be the same again. Miss you bro. Although you live on the same street, I see you passing maybe once a month. Just remember, I’ll never forget.

[@enceo808]

this reminds me of my lonely childhood from when I was 8,9,10,11,12 just sitting in front of the computer and listening to music all day. Music was my rescue and escape. It lightened my day and made me forget my feelings, made me feel less alone and less alienated. Good songs like this made me so happy, it was a shining light in the dark, long tunnel. I love nothing more than music. Dear music, thank you so much for existing. Dear artists, thank you so much for making my life better.
