I Hate My Life... Well I don't Hate this song

Hiya guys, I am actually sticking to Music Friday this week even though I have an essay because something extremely exciting happened yesterday.

Funny thing is that I am watching them as I write this. Beside the Bridge is a Rock Band (Listen to Weigh You Down) from Balsta, Sweden and consists of Charlie Karlgren, Joel Chew, Ludvig Algovik, Niklas Wistrand and Rasmus Blomquist. They are friends before band mat...
