  • Jon from Mishawaka, Inin a way every single song on this album relates to the death of bert's girlfriend. there's no way someone could go through something like that and not somehow have it affect every part of their life. i think the fact that bert makes music for a living makes it even more true, since musicians tend to incorporate their lives into their music
  • Sheila~amanda from Lincolnton, Georgiasad song. i really feel for Bert!
  • Mike from Gloucester, Englandyeah it was katie but i have a feeling they broke up before...
