Cranes is my favorite band, and I'm 16 :) I heard them in my moms car when I was really young and finally on one trip to disneyland i asked who they were and spent the entire trip remembering the band name and the song Adoration, which I spelt Atteration, and ended up with weird results until finally getting the right song. I now have 121 of their songs. I'd -love- to see them in concert one day.
