Strange Days is just an amazing song. It has been compared to a ballad by the Scorpions. I really enjoyed listening over and over again. When you play this song live how is the response?
This song works so good with girls!!!!...I tell you, when we play live this song we add the drum and it’s sounds a little bit rude but it maintains its romance and sad feelings...
