wrote a long time ago.
Thank you.

lots of advice. you know, like in
The

and the
Soldier, like, what does the
Queen need to kill the soldier off for?

That's like the abridged version.
But anyway, so one
comment he made was that he thought that I only
wrote about two things, those
things being romance and mental health and like
couldn't I liven it up a little so I thought about
it and I said well this song is called the rent song and
it's kind of like the I was thinking of
what else is there that like really but I've been told
since then that this is really a mental
health song and so it doesn't
really qualify.
Thank you.
How did you like the song?
