He has a really interesting (in a good way) face, like his eyes as Skippy said are awesome, he would be awesome to paint a portrait of!

What a great clip! Took me a few viewings but I think I get it…. his nudity reflects the rawness, the nakedness of the emotions he’s singing about and then he fades into the background his ex has consigned him to, the whole reason why he’s feeling so anguished. The two singers are lost to one another. Clever stuff.

@ikilltimon hij woont al sinds z’n 2de in australië. etnisch mag’t dan wel een vlaming zijn en ik weet dat’m vlaams kan (hij was 2 jaar geleden bij villa vanthilt), toch is’t geen belg meer.. dus stop uw vlagje al maar weg :)
