I was wondering if it was right to put here my new song videos, but then I thought it would be spam. I will add them on my mp3 reader quite soon and I'll let you know.
I Need You has always been one of my favourite songs but I admit I have nerver felt so close to this song like I do to the Luminaire version. Thrilling! Come the 21st!!
always loved your music from the Stands playing at the bandwagon,bought bright light ballads the day it came out and it hasnt left my stereo yet! cant wait to get my hands on the new live album now after hearing i need you.what an amazin version. cheers mate!

Thanks for adding me, Darlin'! Tell your peeps I said hi, and I miss ya'll like hell. Next year it's on. (or we can just rock out with our rockin' friends during SXSW. ;-) Rock and Rule- Emily Grace
