*When everything has been said

or if nothing can be said

because it’s too difficult to speak

then there is still always music

Music is the freedom to express yourself

Music is the freedom to be who you are

Everyone has that right

but not everyone has access to it

That has to change. Preferably today.*

The borrowing rules are very strict, because I don't like borrowing

I like an authentic contest, and a load of borrowed songs doesn't fit that ideal.

SPOILER: Click to show

YAAY! I love Pitcairn Island! I'm so fascinated by that place!

I knew you would choose because of the borrowing rules, and yes, Pitcairn Island is a strange fascination of mine.
