Why are their songs so catchy? You can hear a song of theirs once and have it stuck in your head for days. That's hard to pull off these days in an age where most music is formulaic. I love this band, so innovating and interesting.
Because they are truly jamming along and letting Music flow from them, is my opinion. Also a few of them in the band are related and I believe they’ve been together since they were in high school so they have each other figured out and shit. Their timing is great. And their music can uplift you or make you absolutely bawl your eyes out.
This band is a straight dark horse of today's music. I don't see how they aren't getting more attention but I hope they never stop making music as long as I live.
@Lord Valairium fu**in preach brother. I have been listening to these guys for almost four years now. Have never met anyone who seems to know about them
I literally have memorized every song from every album they have put out to date. This band has such versatility and pureness in their music I wish I had a speck of their talent.
This was my ex’s favorite song...it’s devastating and beautiful. I think about our relationship-the lies, disappointment, and that which could have been every time I hear this
I showed this song to my ex. I used to love hearing it, it was our song. Even after we break up, she continues to listen to it, but I can hardly bear hearing it anymore, now, it just brings me pain. It's like not only did she take all the love I could give, but beautiful things I love as well, leaving me with nothing but cold, silence in my mind and heart. Well, not just pain. I do enjoy it from time to time, maybe when I want to remember her extra badly that day. Like today. And wish things would have ended up different. I hope we make it out of this alive, baby.
@@Belgriffinite My song with my ex was I Miss You by Blink-182. It's hard to listen to a song again after sharing something once-special with someone who was once-special. But honestly? The fact that you can acknowledge it is a good step forward.
I absolutely love this band. My friend nick chase introduced me to them a few years ago and then when he passed away my friend Rachel got me into listening to all their songs! I love them so much! They've helped me thru a lot. Rip Nick! I love u man!!

Some days this song makes me happy, other days it makes me cry. Either way I always sing it with all my heart and soul and pain. I love this song so much.
listen that's badass as fuck, my dad plays harmonica. he left it alone for 30 years and went back to it a few years ago, he plays with many bands and gets paid, records etc. I strongly encourage you to never stop playing you can only go up and such a rarity it is to see good harmonica players. consider playing it like a harp or piano. it may not make sense but I promise you if you figure out what that means you will forever be free. anyway you probably already are but fuck the haters, they always exist, and so long as you push yourself you can go far. I wish you the best and I'm glad you asked so I can send this to my dad and he can play it too!!
I am going through a very tough breakup right now, and this song has helped me so much. I liked this band before the breakup, but now that I am going through so much heartache the songs about unrequited love speak to my soul so much more. Such heartfelt and genuine lyrics.
@@missionsquirrel It was really bad for a really long time, but I'm doing better now I think. It was so hard, because I genuinely thought she would be my forever and it was so hard to imagine a future without her and it is so easy to think nobody will ever love me like that again and I won't ever love anyone like that again, but I am much more optimistic now. The circumstances of our breakup made it even worse because she has been very depressed and it was hard to tell if she actually fell out of love with me or if her depression was just affecting how she felt about me. I was stuck in a limbo of still being very in love with her and knowing she didn't feel the same way anymore, but also not being sure if she actually didn't feel the same way anymore. I hope one day we'll get another shot, but everything happens for a reason though and if it isn't meant to be, I know that it is because there is someone else better for me out there, even if that's hard to picture right now. Either way, I deserve someone who can love and appreciate me as much as I love and appreciate them and that can't be her right now at least.
ninjabeast50 Oof depression really is a hard one. Incubus - dig really helped me work out my own feelings through depression.. I hope you’re both well and happy soon 💓

For once this song doesn’t make me think of a certain guy or a friend. It doesn’t remind me of how lucky I am to have someone. But to have myslef, how far I’ve come I’ve stopped so many bad habits, I have been working out every night to like myslef just that more. I could listen to this song on repeat because it gives me the confidence that has been lost for so long. I can see myslef working out to this song, hiking a mountain, making it to the Olympics, any of my greatest achievements to yet come I want to listen to this master piece I love you RKS I mean that from the bottom of my heart. You guys pulled me out from the dark and held my soul up to the light and I am so happy I found this incredible band.
I've been listening to RKS for about 3 years. And honestly the music has grown with me. Call it the American way but a few years,beers n them. It's therapy.
This was recommended to me by someone that i learned so much from, he’s an artist also and his father passed away and I feel so sorry I shed some tears for him. He’s truly so sweet and I couldn’t ask for someone better.
Sister came home from college utterly in love with your music, insisted I listened to it, insisted my siblings listened to it, insisted that her friends listen to it... and rightfully so. Now I'm sending links to all MY friends. Really love your sound (especially this song) and just can't stop listening to it!
I just saw them at Voodoo and they literally made me cry! I wasn't a huge fan either, just familiar with their music, but they were so powerful and beautiful! They deserve all the hype!!

Something I've always felt is the mark of those once in a generation level good bands is how they can make songs so utterly different from each other they almost sound like a different band, and yet, you can still tell it's them and recognize their style. If that makes sense.
I love this band I have been listening since 2014. I still can't get enough, whenever I am upset or just feeling down you guys are my go to. When people ask my favorite band I immediately say you guys, to which they respond who the heck is that. You guys are amazing. Thanks so much!
What I think this song is about: It's from the man's perspective speaking to a woman who he used to be involved with in a very intense and real way. In the beginning it was happy and fine, "water as warm as morning suns". They really loved each other; but it was almost too real, too passionate, and they couldn't work out because of their separate problems. The woman dreamed of being able to vacation "first class" and "works all day" to try to someday have that lifestyle. She was not born rich and was instead probably born into a family that struggled financially similar to the singer, "we were born splaying in the wreckage". They are able to be happy together. But after a while she isn't happy and complains all the time about the "bitches at work" and instead tries to drink away her problems, never asking about her partner and his issues, even though he listens to her and helps her out and he doesn't want to simply drink away his problems. He sings "I've got my baggage too" and "say you love me like you used to" implying she no longer finds happiness in him anymore and no longer wants to be in that happy loving relationship, though he wishes she did. She didn't see that he loved her sometimes, even when he did though and this caused her to become less happy. "Say you didn't see it that I saw right through you". She wants to be famous and have this perfect life where she gets married in Vegas and has some children and is a stereotypical version of success, but she's just faking herself. But he's fine now without the love they used to have, "I don't think quite like I used to, I got a bed to call my own". She is beautiful, though, and he's sarcastically telling her that "you'll die famous if it's any consolation" and claims that everyone will still love her because she is beautiful and is lovable, despite her issues.
Its like you have been there before felt his pain or maybe you wrote the song and he stole it from your diary you seem to know it all to well best description of the song love your work
I've heard your song cocaine jesus multiple times, one of my good friends and I listen to it all the time in the car. This is the first time listening to more of your music. It's fantastic. Please keep making more.
I have been hooked on this band for three years. Just like many people, my tastes in music are always changing. I'll discover a song from another artist and start binging their music. However, funny enough, I always find my way back here. Love you all! :)
"First Class" Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas We can get hitched and have a couple of kids And none of them will look at all like us And our neighbors all will be a bit too much And you'll live out in the desert with a man you never loved Is this it?

i love it so much oh my god. I'm forcing my band to learn a bunch of these songs as we speak. my sister told me "i just found out my favorite band is Rainbow Kitten Surprise" and i said "wait what". then i listened to them and i was like holy shit, this is amazing!!!!! I never expected anything this beautiful from a band called Rainbow Kitten Surprise. I'm so happy I found you guys and your musical genius. I didn't know music could be this perfect. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep making music like this!!!!!! Okay that's all I have to say about that. Okay Bye Bye!!!!!!!!!
Seven years ago RKS, you make amazing music and I especially introduced to you by my brother, I've always looked up to him. He seems to have a third eye or can look into the future, he is the wisest person I've ever met and I'm so glad he introduced me to you at the age of seven actually, I love the songs you make it's so heart touching. My favorites are, seven, first class, it's called freefall, I love ever song you make but those hit the most, I hope your having a amazing lif3💞
My girlfriend and I met Darrick walking around the grounds after a festival set last summer. He was the coolest guy. This song meant so much to us. We are from different countries and sometimes our relationship felt like whats described in this song --like the world is pulling us apart even though we have these hopes of being together forever. In January she tried to visit me but was barred from entering my country because of visa issues. We had to break up as a result. Now this song hits even harder. It's such a perfect description of a broken relationship. Every line is so spot on. Thanks RKS for helping me through a tough time
I stumbled upon your channel like 10 minutes ago and I usually listen to electronic music but damn, I should say guys, you really have that ''something'' that makes me listen to your stuff. Props to you all and good luck! xx
Nice. Very nice on that harmony ... this song opens in layers, swirls, and then blossoms into something full before striding into another blend effect ... multi-textured and wonderful.
like you said you believed me, that I'd be right for you. say you love me, like you used too. this song helped my husband and I through some hard times. thank you for sharing your talent.
I have been absolutely obsessed with you guys for going on 3 years now, I LOVE your guys music! I was so disappointed that I missed your guys show in Nashville. But hopefully you guys will be back in the near future! ;-p
I say I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive! Oh my god this song is so layered and i feel like my shit gets donkey punched every time I listen. I don’t even have a donkey or shit for it to punch . That’s how much I love it. Thank you for this treasure.
First time i heard this song was 4 years ago on a boat in a lake in upstate NY. It brings me back there every time i hear it ❤ and i play it every year when I'm in the middle of that same lake in that same boat ❤
We always used to listen to this band together, I remember late nights on the balcony sharing earphones and singing this together. I'd do anything to go back
I have been trying to play music, create some kind of a melody with my friend a few days ago... And when i heard some of RKS songs, it made me realise, that it is so far for me to create such amazing music as this
Why are their songs so catchy? You can hear a song of theirs once and have it stuck in your head for days. That's hard to pull off these days in an age where most music is formulaic. I love this band, so innovating and interesting.
I agree completely.
The rhythm makes it smooth but the way they layer voicing makes it catchy and hard to replicate that’s why it’s so good
They’re poems. Everyone can relate somehow.
Because they are truly jamming along and letting Music flow from them, is my opinion. Also a few of them in the band are related and I believe they’ve been together since they were in high school so they have each other figured out and shit. Their timing is great. And their music can uplift you or make you absolutely bawl your eyes out.

Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us
And our neighbors will all be a bit too much
And you'll live out in the desert with a man you never loved
[Chorus]
Is this it?
What you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too
[Verse 2]
Say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But will love you all the same because you're beautiful
Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said
Do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
[Chorus]
We were born splaying in the wreckage
Buried down on birds with stones
Bore my weight upon your shoulders
Water as warm as morning suns
I don't think quite like I used to
I got a bed to call my own
I see stars and painted lies
Broken glass upon your road
Now I'm driving home too soon
[Post-Chorus]
Woah woah
Say you love me like you used to
[Verse 3]
And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking, fucked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive
But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too

In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate

Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
Woah
Say you love me like you used to
[Bridge]
And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking
Fucked up!
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby!
[Outro]
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive
But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too
Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids

I’ve listened to this at least 9 times a day for the past week
Just discovered this band and I feel like I’ve been living under a rock
Y'all rad yo, thanks for being one of the reasons I guess I've lived this long.
Felt that fam
Fr ill drink to that🤟
All the comments say 2-6 years ago, am I the only one who still cries to this song??
I DO TOO
Well I mean sure
im right with you buddy
nah :( its been 5 years since she left me and the song still hits me the same.
Here :)
still can't put into words how grateful I am for this band.
I just saw them at Voodoo and they literally made me cry! I wasn't a huge fan either, just familiar with their music, but they were so powerful and beautiful! They deserve all the hype!!
These guys are absolutely amazing !! What a song !!! The whole album is great !!!
Guess I'll post the lyrics then:
Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us
And our neighbors will all be a bit too much
And you'll live out in the desert with a man you never loved
Is this it?
What you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too
Say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But will love you all the same, because you're beautiful
Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said
Do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
We were born splaying in the wreckage
Buried down on birds with stones
Bore my weight upon your shoulders
Water as warm as morning suns
I don't think quite like I used to
I got a bed to call my own
I see stars and painted lies
Broken glass upon your road
Now I'm driving home too soon
Say you love me like you used to
And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my ass
You're working all day
Hating on all the bitches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking, f#cked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive
But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too
Oh, and say we'll get famous and we'll die with our names
In every paper, every news report is any consolation
To the people that you love and all the people that you hate
But we'll love you all the same, because you're beautiful
Say you didn't see it, that I saw right through you
Say you didn't mean it that I mean nothing to you
Like you said do you believe me?
That I'll be right for you
Say you love me like you used to
Say you love me like you used to
And we'll vacation first class
I'm breaking your fall
You're breaking my @ss
You're working all day
Hating on all the b!tches at work
You say you're ok
You're faking
F#cked up
Drinking all day, you give me a cup
And I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby
I say I'll be damned if we can make it out of this alive
But is this what you want?
What you wanted?
Do you need love?
Am I enough for you?
In time you'll find I've got my baggage too
Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
Something I've always felt is the mark of those once in a generation level good bands is how they can make songs so utterly different from each other they almost sound like a different band, and yet, you can still tell it's them and recognize their style. If that makes sense.
I love this band I have been listening since 2014. I still can't get enough, whenever I am upset or just feeling down you guys are my go to. When people ask my favorite band I immediately say you guys, to which they respond who the heck is that. You guys are amazing. Thanks so much!
wow i absolutely love this band it was recommended by someone who sits with me in art and i just cant get enough of it. Its like a drug!
What I think this song is about:
It's from the man's perspective speaking to a woman who he used to be involved with in a very intense and real way. In the beginning it was happy and fine, "water as warm as morning suns". They really loved each other; but it was almost too real, too passionate, and they couldn't work out because of their separate problems. The woman dreamed of being able to vacation "first class" and "works all day" to try to someday have that lifestyle. She was not born rich and was instead probably born into a family that struggled financially similar to the singer, "we were born splaying in the wreckage". They are able to be happy together. But after a while she isn't happy and complains all the time about the "bitches at work" and instead tries to drink away her problems, never asking about her partner and his issues, even though he listens to her and helps her out and he doesn't want to simply drink away his problems. He sings "I've got my baggage too" and "say you love me like you used to" implying she no longer finds happiness in him anymore and no longer wants to be in that happy loving relationship, though he wishes she did. She didn't see that he loved her sometimes, even when he did though and this caused her to become less happy. "Say you didn't see it that I saw right through you". She wants to be famous and have this perfect life where she gets married in Vegas and has some children and is a stereotypical version of success, but she's just faking herself. But he's fine now without the love they used to have, "I don't think quite like I used to, I got a bed to call my own". She is beautiful, though, and he's sarcastically telling her that "you'll die famous if it's any consolation" and claims that everyone will still love her because she is beautiful and is lovable, despite her issues.
Damn.
Maybe...but the lead singer is gay, so maybe he's singing to a guy. Saw these guys live. They are amazing
I love how u said this
This shit hurts.
Its like you have been there before felt his pain or maybe you wrote the song and he stole it from your diary you seem to know it all to well best description of the song love your work
+Rainbow Kitten Surprise think of coming to South Africa??
yaaas South Africa!
howzit boet
Daisies please!!
YES! Come to our beautiful country with your beautiful music! PLEASE!
Oh yes! South Africa needs your beautiful sounds here!
I've heard your song cocaine jesus multiple times, one of my good friends and I listen to it all the time in the car. This is the first time listening to more of your music. It's fantastic. Please keep making more.
One of my favorite RKS songs. Hell, most of them are my favorite
I love that you guys embody my nostalgia for Boone
Benson Boone?
I have been hooked on this band for three years. Just like many people, my tastes in music are always changing. I'll discover a song from another artist and start binging their music. However, funny enough, I always find my way back here. Love you all! :)
"First Class"
Say we'll get married on a porch in Vegas
We can get hitched and have a couple of kids
And none of them will look at all like us
And our neighbors all will be a bit too much

I had to scroll way to far down to find this. Thank you Sonia 🙏
RKS is amazing. I hope you guys keep making music for the next 100 years. RKS is easily one of my favorite bands. Please keep doing what you do.
You guys should post some live videos of you singing your songs! Keep it up, you're my favorite band by far.
We appreciate it! Keep an eye out for new RKS stuff!
+Ted Mosby Classic Smoshby!
+Rainbow Kitten Surprise any new stuff soon?
this song really deserves a video. the peace it brings and everything it can mean! ❤️
Ahh man I would blow a horses sausage for one second in bed with you mister
Although I'm in love with everything RKS does and every word Sam Melo utters in complete perfection, this is my favorite song thus far. ❤️❤️👌👌
Randomly found this in my favorites. Didn't remember it. What a wonderful surprise.
Tinil0 was it a wonderful surprise- or a rainbow kitten surprise ?
i love it so much oh my god. I'm forcing my band to learn a bunch of these songs as we speak. my sister told me "i just found out my favorite band is Rainbow Kitten Surprise" and i said "wait what". then i listened to them and i was like holy shit, this is amazing!!!!! I never expected anything this beautiful from a band called Rainbow Kitten Surprise. I'm so happy I found you guys and your musical genius. I didn't know music could be this perfect. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep making music like this!!!!!! Okay that's all I have to say about that. Okay Bye Bye!!!!!!!!!
One of my friends told me they liked this band I thought it was a strange name so I searched them up and fell in love with their music so....
Only just found this very recently, not sure where, why or exactly when. But it’s now when I needed it.
I'm literally in love with this band!
literally????????
Saw them last night in Orlando. Shit was magical
Found you through an old reddit post.
Instantly in love with your music, do you have any CDs I might be able to purchase somewhere?

+Rainbow Kitten Surprise are you guys on vinyl
Rainbow Kitten Surprise x ? uh huh Nunn Nunn . . TH-cam how do you. ^0
from one musician to another....you guys rock
Seven years ago RKS, you make amazing music and I especially introduced to you by my brother, I've always looked up to him. He seems to have a third eye or can look into the future, he is the wisest person I've ever met and I'm so glad he introduced me to you at the age of seven actually, I love the songs you make it's so heart touching. My favorites are, seven, first class, it's called freefall, I love ever song you make but those hit the most, I hope your having a amazing lif3💞
My girlfriend and I met Darrick walking around the grounds after a festival set last summer. He was the coolest guy. This song meant so much to us. We are from different countries and sometimes our relationship felt like whats described in this song --like the world is pulling us apart even though we have these hopes of being together forever. In January she tried to visit me but was barred from entering my country because of visa issues. We had to break up as a result. Now this song hits even harder. It's such a perfect description of a broken relationship. Every line is so spot on. Thanks RKS for helping me through a tough time
Fake government operators kill love
I stumbled upon your channel like 10 minutes ago and I usually listen to electronic music but damn, I should say guys, you really have that ''something'' that makes me listen to your stuff. Props to you all and good luck! xx
Yes! Only third song in to this band. I haven't heard them before today. Already a fan. I'm so stoked when I discover something new that I like :)
I put "it's called freefall" in my To Listen folder like a year ago and WOW DID I MISS OUT ON A DOPE BAND GLAD I FOUND YOU GUYS
Amazing music , been listening non stop to this album !
this song hurts my heart..
But they make you feel better right?
Rebekah Mauschbaugh me too 😥
Omg same ❤️💔
Maybe the song just helps you release the pain you hold inside.
Major props from somebody you may not remember. Keep it, homies. This is the good stuff.
Nice. Very nice on that harmony ... this song opens in layers, swirls, and then blossoms into something full before striding into another blend effect ... multi-textured and wonderful.
If you drink wine and listen to these guys there will be tears. Caution.
This song is so damn good. Huge fan.
Bethany - not sure you will find this, but I hope you find me.
Real good stuff friends. Love hearing it, great unique voice quality.
I just found this song/band and I am in LOVE.
My dad recommended this song he has a really good taste of music.
Ha! Me too!
Tell your dad I say hi 💚 😂
like you said you believed me, that I'd be right for you. say you love me, like you used too. this song helped my husband and I through some hard times. thank you for sharing your talent.
Every time I listen to them I feel all the weight on my shoulders lifted and not a care in the world 🌍
I am so glad my friend mentioned you guys. I'm just going to play your music all day now.
The indie Mumford and Sons, Amen.
Mumford IS indie?
As opposed to Mumford and Sons the death metal band? 😅
@@Phonixrmf 🤣
Love love this song just heard it for the 1st time! My friend just drove to Austin from Memphis to hear them
Michigan to Austin. Much love ❤
Just heard you guys on the beyond podcast, best sound I heard in awhile
My nephew showed me this band! I can't wait until September to go see them play
this song makes me so deeply sad and happy at the same time omg
Thank you for this song.
Rainbow kitten surprise sounds like something my niece would name a teddy bear, and it’s very adorable
I discovered this band a few days ago and I'm so glad I did!!!
I have been absolutely obsessed with you guys for going on 3 years now, I LOVE your guys music! I was so disappointed that I missed your guys show in Nashville. But hopefully you guys will be back in the near future! ;-p
I say I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive! Oh my god this song is so layered and i feel like my shit gets donkey punched every time I listen. I don’t even have a donkey or shit for it to punch . That’s how much I love it. Thank you for this treasure.
Definitely inspired by Kings of Leon and Modest Mouse! I love it guys! Keep it up!!!
Loving the song
RIP Ali. You would've loved this
It’s 2024 and this is still my favorite song.
Whos still here listening in 2024?

First time i heard this song was 4 years ago on a boat in a lake in upstate NY. It brings me back there every time i hear it ❤ and i play it every year when I'm in the middle of that same lake in that same boat ❤

Helloo

Such relatable song, and by far my favourite by RKS
IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS BAND!!!!
Summer 2021, still listening, still loving.
What have I just discovered 😭❤️
Enjoy
Awesomeness
This beautiful music is like quicksand that I would gladly jump into!!!!!
Makes me miss love I used to have... Still recovering from a broken heart 💔
We always used to listen to this band together, I remember late nights on the balcony sharing earphones and singing this together. I'd do anything to go back
INCREDIBLE BAND. Please keep putting out new stuff! I discovered you guys a couple days and I can't get enough, you are going to be big. Keep it up.
Their music is a drug you want to listen over and over.
Hi, Caitlin!
Hope the rest of your night goes well! 🤘🏽
Lowkey Skinny Love vibes. I love it. Makes me cry man
I rarely rate, I rarely comment. This is amazing and there is nothing else to say about that.
Can you put your lyrics online? I've only found lyrics for a couple of your songs.
I have been trying to play music, create some kind of a melody with my friend a few days ago... And when i heard some of RKS songs, it made me realise, that it is so far for me to create such amazing music as this
"SAY YOU LOOOVE ME LIKE YOU UUUUSED TO"
Authentic and underrated, honestly.
Holy fuck I love this song
good shit. had my numb ass crying for the first time in months.
