Beautiful Melody

Travis pov

I try to remember the melody of that song i used to here the best i could, and once i got the gist of it, i placed my fingers on the keys of the piano and started to play.

(just pretend that this his mother's music, the music that she wrote)

(Here's the link if the video doesn't work, you might have to copy and paste it: https://youtu.be/WJ3-F02-F_Y, here's the time stamp for the song when it ends too, 3:12)

I felt my entire body move with the song, it was so soothing. This was it, this had to be. This is the exact same melody i used to hear. It's pretty, it's so pretty. I started to get lost in the song, it felt so nice to hear something peaceful and beautiful. Music was amazing, any music was amazing really, even if i don't understand some of them.

I finally ended the song feeling calm and content, but wanted to keep playing, so i got up and walked around the room again looking for something else to play. I finally came across a violin, i love playing the violin just as much as the piano but i didn't feel like it today so I kept walking. Then I found a guitar, not just any guitar though, an electric guitar, the type of guitar you'd find at a Sanity Falls concert. I knew how to play the regular guitar, and i wanted to try playing the electric guitar. Its not gonna be that much different right? I mean, they're both string instruments. How hard could it be? I plugged in the cords to the speaker and put the volume on a 4, i didn't need everyone in the school hearing me play.

About a few minutes later, i was able to play the guitar pretty well, huh, this thing's easier to learn than i thought. After adjusting to it i finally played something, and GOD DAMN, did it sound cool.

(Here's another song "by Travis", just pretend it's by him ok? I'm trying here😭)

(Again, here's the link if the video doesn't work https://youtu.be/e9wzN47Skww)

The chords and the lead sounded so. . . . how do explain it? Spunky? No no that's not the right word. . . .i can't describe it, but it sounded really nice. I think i understand why most people say that electric guitars are awesome, they really are.

I ended the song and i was surprised that i didn't screw up any of the notes.
Honestly, it felt even better that i played the song without a music sheet , i didn't even have to memorize it. Of course I didn't have to memorize it, it was my song, i made it, and i loved that. I put the guitar down and kept walking around the room plucking a few notes on the harp, playing a small rythme on the drum set and so on.

At one point i realized how much time had flown by and looked at the clock. Fuck! It was already 7:40? Class started at 7:55! I gotta go! I can't risk being late to class and getting a phone call home, my father's rage is the last thing i wanted to come home to. I quickly grab my books and run out of the band room as fast as i could. While running i see a blur of brown and blue behind the band door, was someone watching me? Who the fuck were they? And why were they watching me? Whatever, i don't have time to worry about that, right now, i need to get to first period!
