Something has happened, but L.A. based singer/songwriter Kris Angelis has come to terms with it. “I’m just trying to get back to you,” she sings in her new song “My Quiet,” a heartwarming piece about accepting that there is never only sunshine in love and that a relationship only works when you can overcome the bad moments.
