      Veruc Ikr, it is profound just like the rest of her songs she wrote. You should go check them out! They're great!

      Veruc, her kind of talent doesn't come from a shallow environment like you described. If she did or didn't have some things paid for her, who fucking cares, she's clearly humble.

    She's the future. I love her for her and for her musical talents.

    Love all the music I've heard from her so far. It's just a bonus that she has the personality of a girl I would have a crush on. Can't wait to hear more from her.

      Rob Johnson I can't wait for more from her when she feels that inspiration again. I absolutely love this song. I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. It's lovely.

      What does her being a lesbian have anything to do with my comment ...???? And honestly if I were to guess she likes the d but has munched a carpet before.
