PARTY ANIMALS GAMEPLAY IMPRESSIONS - Joygasm Podcast Ep 326

I had a great time doing this remix! Shoutout to Pip for writing a killer song and to @saulz_music for mastering it! 

Lyrics:
"Valentines is round the corner
It's a money based affair
Still somehow I'd feel warmer
If I had someone there

I wish someone would break my heart just so I could feel something
Then I'd make it into art and friends would relate to it

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

I know I'm worth somebody's time
After nineteen years you get tired
Of all the songs on the radio about love
So this one's not

I'd love to trust somebody like a tree's trust in the ground
Or hold somebody close to me like air holds onto sound
I know I'm supposed to feel ashamed of loneliness at heart
But I just can't bring myself to blame me for feeling lack of love

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one"

Cheers to music, any support you show is greatly appreciated!
Your friend,
D.R.U.

All The Songs On The Radio by Pip Lewis (D.R.U. Remix)

Over a 5 year period, Janet Jackson collaborated with Worker Bee Films to produce a documentary on her life and career, which aired on Lifetime / A&E.
