“Demos…
Demos…
Demos…,” released in 2012 by the male vocal unit Sonar Pocket, is a song I’d recommend to both men and women struggling with an affair.
The lyrics, which convey the man’s feelings as he makes promises he can’t keep out of sheer honesty, alongside the words spoken by the woman, are probably the most relatable part.
Even so, the time the two share doesn’t belong to anyone else, and it makes you want to cherish it.
When you’re going through something painful, try surrendering yourself to this song.
