Taking time off to hone the craft (and uproot from one end of the US to the other for family) were the two biggest reasons. But we knew we had to return to where it all began.
Glad to see you alive and thriving on NG as well!! Your last few tracks have shown a tremendous amount of growth and we’re proud to remember the previous decade of hyping one another to get better ❤️
WOW I LOVE IT SO NOW I AM GOING TO USE IT IN MY DANCE OF FIRE & ICE LEVEL
