Hi Marcus!

Got my plane tickets and my show tickets to see you in Nashville! I'm hoping to be able to swing by Memphis as well! Bringing a friend, and I have a feeling that she is going to be a huge fan by the end of the evening!

See you soon!

i just love your music, i swear i'll buy it sometime
in fact tomorrow, from an awesome shop in brunswick street that will definitely hopefully have it

have you ever/will you ever visit australia? if not it doesn't matter so much, hopefully when i go elsewhere i'll catch you some place some time. i'm going to road trip america after uni, hopefully you're still making music and around then and i'll catch one of your shows some place. hopefully

you're really, really good! keep being really really good for as long as you enjoy it (fingers crossed until i leave uni

Ugh!! I can't get this song out of my mind. I love "Same Old Dance" and i don't know why because it's so sad. but i can't stop listening to it! does anyone have the actual lyrics to the song??? i know i'm probably singing 1/2 of it wrong.
