TUNE OF THE DAY #59

Yesterday I was feeling really sick and then woke up today feeling ten times worse. Only old episodes of The OC and Gossip Girl are cheering me up right now, that and digging out all my old CD's from when I was like 13 or 14. It's funny to see how much my taste in music has progressed from emo rock to dubstep etc. One song that stood out amongst the rest is this classic gem from the one and only Paramore...
