Well i'm standing on my own

If you can see me happy

| this song is really cool for me, as we have studied Dawkins' book in Religious Studies. It basically states that life is all about DNA, and all that we should be concerned about in life is the evolution of genes. Dawkins was a materialist. cool song. Travis opened their gig with this last weekend when I saw them. | |
