Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people it doesn't sound good to me.

Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way

Well, I don't even know how to drive in this life, so I'm pretty far from ever having the life of being a stuntdouble. I liked- I had an Evil Knievel doll when i was a kid, that's about it!
