As 13 year old @OfficialWillow closes her set, a fight breaks out in the crowd. Thus concludes #WillowWatch, thank you. #FADERFORTConverse

I can't even make a dumb joke about this one. I just can't. I can't knock the kid for this. 
It makes my heart hurt. It's chill. It's nice. It's calm. It's something else.
It captures a feeling. That lost and confused comfort. 

Nice one Ryan. Really lovely.

His new album Alone for the First Time comes out November 4th on Last Gang.
