He was a really great, he was like great friends, but we were friends. He released a couple solos, singles, and love. So here you guys is Chris Truesdale. It was love. I think it time that we call it what it is You and I know we were way more than friends. What would you do if I told you I hate seeing you with him Living a life out of fear and ignorance Running all around just to chase that high That you and I felt so naturally And what I came to know is What I realized No matter how we try We can't deny that what we have is Love Baby, you know That's all it ever was Baby, you know I'm so special It was love, it was love, love, love You had your time To be my everything You disguised all the things that you shouldn't be Remember when we got caught You felt so ashamed of me I saw our future playing out so differently Running all around just to chase that high That you and I felt so naturally And what I came to know is what I realized No matter how we try we can deny that what we have is It love baby oh that all it ever was Cause I'm just love, I wanna keep you alone It's love, it's love, love, love That's all it ever plus Cause I'm just love It's love, it's love, love, love You gotta love it. So that's Chris Truesdale. He was in a bunch of a lot. He was a great dancer, phenomenal dancer. He was a guest episode on a bunch of Austin and Ally. He was for To The Beat. Big videos. He also did a song with Play, Play, and I think it's called I'm Gonna Make It Guy. The World Misses Him. It's solo singles that he released called Summer. Enjoy. I feel you brushing up on me Reminds me of the ocean breeze Driving down the coastline Must have passed those signs a hundred times Take me back, take me there If the summer's up, we didn't care It was love, it was life No matter what it was, it felt so right There just something something something about the summer summer There just something something something about this summer I don wanna lose just some some something about this summer summer That makes me wanna ride away Thank you. Up all night we never sleep Take me back, take me there If the summer's up we didn't care It was love, it was light No matter what it was it felt so right There's just something about this summer I don't wanna lose your summer, summer, summer That makes me wanna ride in there Thank you. And that's it, you guys. That was Summer by Talent. I think he actually did a Christmas. It's going to be coming out this year. And I'm so happy Dreamstreet is kind of like back.
