So in most musician's careers there comes a point where they have to choose between making music that they enjoy or making music that is popular. With this Song I've chosen to do what I enjoy. I hope you all will enjoy it too, but if not, don't worry, I will be getting back to Songs you recognize (eventually). As always no autotune or any vocal trickery. Please like, comment, and subscribe, and above all share with your friends! -Composed by Darmon Meader--  ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
