Mandapen's Indie Crush

As Christopher Owens leaves the band Girls I took a look at their legacy, only on The Whiteboard Project. 

My favourite ever video.

Girls. Lust for Life (NSFW Version).

When asked to make a “cleaner” version of their song “Lust for Life”, Christopher Owens and Chet “JR” White of Girls decided to make a “dirtier” version. When asked about the songs inspiration, Owens said that it was about how he was “genuinely jealous” of how his recent ex-girlfriend had found a new person to love and of the “loneliness” that followed. It shows the simplicity of affection in all forms. “To Label is to Limit”.
