this song just…god.

when they released this song earlier this year, i couldn’t believe my ears. we all already know how i feel about Mar and those pipes of his, but this just sounds so gorgeous on some good headphones.

I don’t think anyone understands the intensity of my love affair with Full Crate & Mar and how much it means to me that i’m seeing them friday. (well, except for Jade and Damon…but that’s because they know it all!)

I’m already positive i’m going to cry my eyes out…so pathetic.

New Mar Variation. So amazing. It’s a variation of an Oddisee song, so two epic artists in one!

this was the best morning present. Can’t wait to catch Mar when he gets to NYC in june!

“Inglewood”-a Mar variation

the new Mar Variation

“1st session”- Mar

i’m still waiting for someone to explain to me why his voice is so heavenly…my morning seems so beautiful now.

I've got things to share.
