Jacko Hooper – Muttered Words (Official Lyric Video)
“Jacko Hooper tells us: Love never ages. It warms and keeps the fire in the oven. Composition muttered Words – soothes us with the warmth of Indie Folk and the flow of vital energy.”
“Любовь никогда не бывает слишком старой, – говорит нам Jacko Hooper. Она согревает и сохраняет огонь в печи. Композиция Muttered Words – успокаивает нас теплотой Indie Folk и потоком жизненной энергии.”
