I think I managed to tell a little bit of a story this week. Definitely a feel of pursuit and fighting and overcoming and then being a little silly and then just kind of living on. Also this contains two songs from my "I don't do burlesque but if I did" playlist.
This week’s playlist:
Like No One Else by Teri Gender Bender
Monsters by Foreign Air
get you by Eve 6
Raw Raw by K.Flay
Nightmares by Huxlxy
Palace of the Innocents by The Glitch Mob
Final Boss by margø
Alt3r3ddr3ams//Und3rgr0und by Twin Pumpkin, measyou & Mary More
