    the beauty of his voice is astounding. i crying as i write this comment his voice just fits in the song so perfectly,effortlessly hitting every note beautifully. his voice makes me sway and blink slower it’s incredible. his voice is what i think luicfer himself sounds like. it’s this melody in his voice it’s just sounds like glorious like morning sun after dark winter months. his voice is making me eyes leak and smart. his voice blurs my vision filling it with his other worldly voice. gyptians voice is the reason I remember there are good things.
