  • I Surrender To Your Will

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Four Hundred Seventy Four] When I started to do research for this one, well, I got completely distracted by ALL the movies and songs and albums and references and definitions for the word that I’ll admit that I’m overwhelmed and, well, STRESSED.
