Got any songs by pink floyd then I'll write...

"running to stand still" is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I've heard it sung acapella before -- simply amazing really.
I seem to be losing my contest "muse" as of late, but I will try to come back and see if that word bank will bring something along...
Bookmarked as well... - Kim -
I LOVE the song Run by Snow Patrol - one of my all time favourites. Good luck with your contest x take care x
