Tristesse Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 There's a mistake in the french part translation, it's "I would die without you, I would kill for you" Seems more logical to me .. 1 Quote

Creyk Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 the demo acapella hurts my ears anyone else Well that is how she would still be producing her music if she wasn't picked up by some hobos on the street who finally discovered her and forced Video Games to be an Europe-only hit so you just better be grateful we are behind these days and appreciate them for what they did give to us. 0 Quote
