Be the Light: The Special Rock Dog Lockdown Concert

Inuyasha

At the end of the song, Dad received a phone call. He excused himself and head to the master bedroom. This leaves me with Cecilia and Mum. At that moment, the screen switched to the front view of the studio where the band was interacting with the online viewers. That was a good time for me to mute the television for a few moments.

Me: So Mum, how was your first time?

Cecilia: Yeah, tell us!

(Mum hesitates for a moment)

Mum (closing her eyes): I got to say, I've enjoyed their music more than first thought! I usually thought rock bands are very trashy, but their songs have a lot more thought put into it.

Me: Mum, they composed their own songs. That's how good their music is. It's so... them!

Cecilia: The thing is, in some interviews, Bodi mentioned his uncanny ability to write and compose songs in such a brief notice, but their songs don't feel rushed at all!

Me: I actually heard he has Savant syndrome, and that was part of proof on his song-writing capability. Anyway, it looks like...

(I unmuted the television, just in time for Bodi to introduce the first guest of the night)

Bodi: Well, it's finally time to introduce our first guest of the day! We'll be back after this performance, but first, let's change the feed to where our guest is! Enjoy!

The screen transitions to another mansion. Inside a dark hallway, the lights turn red as the guest singer reveals himself. Immediately, I screamed.

"Who's the singer?" Cecilia felt excited.

"It's him," was my response.

"No... freaking... way."

And then comes the singer, the white fur, the long golden claws and a red silk robe. The backing track plays as the camera closes in on the singer. We knew who that guest star was.

(Song: "Inuyasha" by Mahmood, song translated to English from Italian)

When you say goodbye, you break my heart

I don't like getting to raise my hands anymore

If we fight among other people

There's no point asking our friends who's right

If for you who we are is worth jack shit

Today for me we're worth more than an Ocean Drive

If I ask you how you are
