Over the waves and through every sorrow
Savior please, pilot me~ 💙

One of Jessica’s favorite songs by one of her favorite artists. This song got her through a lot of her recent hardships, and now, it carries me through mine.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, off of their 1991 album, "Nevermind"

I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind~ 💙

Retrospective Note 2019: The first Nirvana track I ever heard was this one back when I was a middle schooler in the mid 2000s. My friends introduced me to all kinds of scenes I wasn’t allowed to dive into growing up. Mostly alternative rock. This song blew my MIND just... GOD what an explosive song this is. There’s a reason why this song became an anthem for the youth of the 90s, and why it still reigns true with today’s nihilistic youth, and it’s for one good reason: It fucking unapologetically rocks like no other, and it always will.
