Wow Jocelyn Flores made me tear up, it's such a beautiful melody. Not even that much of an X fan, but my favorite songs of his are almost exclusively off of his 17 album. He really showed his talent on that album imo. It's sad he died so young, could've made so many amazing songs we'll never get ti hear.

[@RogueBS1]

Just Imagineing the moment he got shot in my mind makes me tear up😔. Imagine a young artist that already has lots of trouble in his life wanted go somewhere by car, maybe eating an ice cream or to his family, and then there is that one idiot that shoots him, and his body falls with his music to the ground. Requisat in pace😭
