New Discoveries: The Arms of Someone New
The Arms of Someone New isn't a new band in any literal sense of the word, but they're (sort of) new to me. Apparently, according to Last.fm, I briefly listened to them back in the spring of 2010, but I have no real recollection of it, so to call it a rediscovery would be a stretch. … Fortsätt läsa New Discoveries: The Arms of Someone New

What do you do when something vital is mercilessly torn from you? How are you supposed to act when the universe rips your heart out of your chest and replaces it with...nothing in particular?
