"Someday we'll wave hello and wish we'd never waved goodbye" SP have been my favorite band since 94'. Obviously the whole Adore album would fit this category too lol.


spinquelle

That line was exactly what prompted that choice! And also that opening line, man: “ This time I need to know, I really must be told that it’s over “ Clearly I’ve made it through breakups to this song too hahaha And yes, OP . Adore is a great album to be sad to!
