Describe an activity that you find boring in your life (e.g., taking out the trash). I find cleaning the car extremely boring which in fact, just thinking about it puts me in a bad mood.

Robert Frost’s poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” shows an example of how nothing…

band itself has never sang in a song. If they ever want to put vocals in their songs, then they feature people such as Juliana in the song Instant Crush. This band makes great music but according to my opinion, this album is definetly by far the best album they have made…
