An added reason to smile this beautiful morning is in acknowledgment of some beautiful writing. This is such simple yet intensely deep writing. It hit home; I’ve felt it deeply. The beauty in their vocals, the instrumentation, and the lyrics stems from a place of hurt and possibly brokenness. Yet, in their own way, these… Read More SOTD| Dreams of my father~ Ayo Dee Offical, Coster Ojwang’
