[Daft69Punk]

i cant believe they broke up:"( thats bull cuz i luv this band soo much!!!

[xplaycracktheskyx]

i remember instantly falling in love with this song listening to it the first time 5 years ago. i wrote down some of the lyrics really fast and googled them only to find it was a song by tai. I can't believe all these years have gone by and i'm saddened this band has decided to call it quits. I would have never guessed. I'm seriously going to miss them.

[TheKaskae]

First band I ever saw live, way back in 2006 prior to the release of Santi. Man, I'm so nostalgic right now. I miss this band more than words can even express. </3

[Jaymee567]

This is the first band I found when I started listening to my own music and having my own sound... I feel like my heart is breaking everytime I remember, they broke up...
