So far I feel like I'm not really getting out what I want to express about these songs, but we'll see... hopefully I'll settle into more of a groove and get a little deeper in the future.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740401073988507304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869780008733483838.post-22774712678499355772007-05-15T13:56:00.000-04:002007-05-15T13:56:00.000-04:00I'm going to be woefully inarticulate here, but th...I'm going to be woefully inarticulate here, but this is definitely one of my very favorite Low songs.
