      You know, audiences in Europe are not like in the US. We appreciate bands in a small setting like this differently, certainly almost never by just singing for them. :D

      Maybe you should try coming to the U.S. before saying something stupid like that. We have stadiums for people like Taylor who want a lot of money, and thousands of small venues for everybody else.
      Maybe being from Europe isn't making you as modest and sweet and quaint as you think.

    wouldnt it be funny that those 2.3million views were done by those 25.000 who gave it a thumbs up? because there is no way that you dont give it a like after watching it. and its pretty certain that you cant just watch it once, you will be coming back again and again.

    When you're a musician and going to different places you find yourself often singing originals to glass eyed onlookers just staring at you, because they don't know you're music yet. I recognized this song from a CD a friend burned for me this summer and I was like "Oh wait, I know this song,.." So it's cool to see the genuine surprise from these girls, playing in a new country where they didn't think anyone would know who they were. It's that kind of moment that you live for when you write music. That's what passion looks like. Very cool.
