Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”
This is one of my current favorite songs. I've been pretty much blasting it nonstop, despite the fact I'm at least two years behind when it was popular. I'd actually never heard it until I saw "Pitch Perfect." You shout it out, But I can't hear a word you say I'm talking loud not saying … Continue reading Inspiration Playlist Volume 2, Track 12 “Titanium”
