Blythe's P.O.V.
Finally I'm back to recording for Bette Noir. I've been reading a lot lately whenever Cadence is asleep and I recently got into a very good book called Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It's been so inspirational to me that I actually wrote a song based from it. I'm in our little studio just finishing up the piano part. Levi came in to help me record while Chris had Cadence.
"Ready for the vocals, B?" Levi called through the sound booth mic.
I adjusted the lyric page on my music stand. I'm so paranoid I'll mess up so I have a little music stand in the studio for lyrics and I print out piano sheets for concerts just in case. "I'm all set."
"Okay. 3...2...go."
"Run around, Run around
The Old Man's Grave
Find the cairn, and the loop
Where the secrets remain
Through the loop, find the house
You have traveled thus far
Find the Spark, and the Bird
They'll know who you are
(Chorus) Save them all, set them free
From the one's with white eyes
With their horrific hollows be
They're a danger in disguise
Find the one, you can't see
And his friends, all to see
How fast one's life can change
Warn them of all evil's game
Save the Birds, seal the loop
The peculiars, will guide you
You are strong one and all
Trust yourselves, lest you fall
(Repeat Chorus)
House is gone, hope remains
Help the Spark, find her flames
You can see, what they can't
They need you, not the land
(Repeat Chorus)
Run around, run around
The Old Man's grave
Help the Bird, find her way
And her friends, that remain..."
I set the headphones on the mic after Levi stops the recording. I step out of the sound booth and hear crying, "Your baby's calling you, B." He smiles at me. I nod and walk out into the living room.
"How'd recording go?" Chris asks.
"Very...peculiar." I say, smirking. I pick up Cadence and start singing the new song to her.
