"Wanna change it?"

That phrase had been wandering around my head for weeks. Like it was the catchiest song I'd ever hear. But, no, it's no ordinary song. It's a sorrowful piece of a magnificent violinist or a melodramatic composition of a teenage female with an acoustic guitar with stories that will see through the audience's heart.
