Jem--have you heard of Vienna Teng? If you have, which song do you like from her? :D

Of course! She’s one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters. I love her My Medea, Pontchartrain, Feathermoon, Gravity, The Atheist Christmas Carol, Between, St. Stephen’s Cross, Momentum & The Tower. (Haha, complete jud.) :D

Want eggs with that?
