Ghost: “He Is”
psychedelic rock
30 Day Song Challenge: Day 26 – A Song That Relaxes You
Pink Floyd: “Learning To Fly”

I’m gonna do three on this one…because I can.
The Beatles: “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” (for my mom)
Lynyrd Skynyrd: “Gimme Back My Bullets” (for my dad)
Avenged Sevenfold: “Chapter Four” (for my brother)
