[musicjunkie207]

I just played a little festival thing with them last week and I was laying on the grass during their set cause I was sooo tired. Jeff starts talking to me and he's like " You should really move up closer, but I guess it's cool cause you're just chillin' "

They are all genuinely nice people. The only thing is I'm not a fan of the pro-tools laptop stuff they use onstage. Otherwise I like it. Very good writers.

[EIliot]

Amazing! i'm drooling here~

[turtlelover1708]

[helpplease08]

holy crap!!!..just as amazing live..

[x0khayne0x]

ur voice sounds exactly the same as the song in the soundtrack (recording) some singers' voice changes into bad when they sing live coz the recording makes it good. but u did a really good job!!! i love ur band!

P.S the guitarist is cute. LOL

[cgrl0729]

that is so true.. i hate when it isn't someones real voice.

[ZehWishbone]

amazing. simply amazing.

[aselosyd16]

wow ur amazing and its live !!! wow i wish i had ur voice

[XoALiSSAaNNe10]

This is such a beautiful song. The message is so great. Most songs now adays are just about boyfriends and girlfriends and break ups and make ups and all that. Inspirational songs are my favorite. That's one of the reasons I love this song.

Plus Kira's voice is beautiful! I love that her voice sounds the same on the album. It means that she is good enough to not do all that funky stuff with the stupid technology.

Amazing voice. Beautiful song. Perfect.

[kanerxo4]

I love this song. I think it's really great and I actually made a video to it a month or two ago. Check it out, if you want or can. Thanks.

[Macdone45]

I love this song :)

[deepseamermaid]

Wow you guys sound great and you sound exactly like the downloaded version from itunes wich is great because it means you didn't like really digitize your voice as much as some people do. :-D Keep singing
