Feel Quote by Alicia Keys
“I'm tired of the carbon copies and the music that is only interesting for about a week. I feel the sadness in the air, the apathy, and the boredom. We're all looking for something to hold onto, something with depth and understanding, feeling, care, time, and love. To create it and it's just really hard to find.”
