KagomeYuuri

However, this track Kagome is far removed from that love song image — it’s a dark, gut-wrenching number that stirs the heart with a crushing intensity.

When times are tough, we’re tempted to escape reality, but this is a song that helps you face yourself and make an effort to steady your heart.
