LUNA

i felt my phone buzz in my pocket and i pulled it out to see "@CORPSE followed you back!" and i thought i'd collapse.

"rae," i gasped, "no fucking way."

i showed her my phone and her jaw dropped open.

"see! i told you!"

moments later i saw a dm come in from him.

CORPSE

hey there. i saw a lot
of people were suggesting
you on my collab tweet.
i took a listen to your
music and what you've
put out so far is fucking
sick. i'd love to talk
about working together
if you're interested.

you don't know how much
i'd love to! i've been
looking for new artists to
work with myself and my
fans have suggested you a
lot but i never thought you
would be down

i don't see a lot of what
i'm tagged in, though
sometimes i do, so your name
got lost a little bit. here's my
number. feel free to text and
we can discuss what we want
to do

i added his number to my phone and read all the messages aloud to rae. she was giddy with excitement and kept telling me "i told you so."

"do i like, wait? i don't want him to think i'm obsessing over this." i panicked.

"luna, my dear, message the poor man. he reached out to you and he would not have if he didn't seriously want to work with you."

i nodded in agreement and went into my texts.

corpse

hey it's luna

hey there

i have a couple of tracks
in progress that i was
looking to get features
on already. i could send
them your way and see
what you think or if
there's any you're really
drawn to

before playing them aloud to get my ideas in line, i asked rae if she had heard what was sent to me. i didn't want to play something she didn't know of and spoil anything. she scrolled through the three songs that were sent and told me the only one she hadn't heard was life waster.

i listened to the first two, MISA MISA! and an untitled one, with rae. i really dig both of them but i'm not sure how well i personally would fit on them. i dug my earbuds out of my bag and put them in to listen to life waster.

that song hit something for me. it seemed more of the style i've been trying to emulate but just haven't gotten down for myself. i listened to it another time and nodded.

corpse

life waster. that one

i loved them all but it's
something about life waster
that i would love to be apart of

only if you're comfortable
with that though. i know
it's pretty personal

after listening to your music
that's kind of what i was
thinking too. i sent misa for
shits because scar is supposed
to be on it but it's not confirmed
and the untitled one is just there

if you wanted to write your own
lyrics you're more than welcome
or i have some lyrics that got cut
that you could see if they fit for
you. i assume you also self produce
so you can fuck around with it
and send clips if you're comfortable

yea! sounds good to me. i'm in
california with rae right now but
when i get home i'll for sure work
with it. i'm only here for a week

ah, i was right. you are a friend
of rae's

yes indeed. she asked me when i
dropped death by design if she
could use my music on stream
and from there we became
good friends

CORPSE

after making plans with luna to do life waster together, i decided to drop her a follow on instagram. looking through her posts i noticed that she was absolutely gorgeous. of course, she's an e girl which would draw me in, but she is stunning. she seems to stick to her own which i'm jealous of.

i texted her the lyrics that i cut from the song and told her she could fuck around with them if she needed to. i listened to life waster over again and thought of where her feature could be fit in. her voice and vibe will be perfect for it and i'm excited to see where it goes.

the fact that she's friends with rae makes me wonder how i never heard about her. rae doesn't really mention a lot of people outside of our circle as to keep them out of the spotlight, so it could be that. luna seems to have her own little corner that she stays in and doesn't branch out of.

i decided to text rae and get some info on luna.

rae

you and luna?

we've been friends for a
year and a half. me, her,
and sean actually. we
both wanted to use her
music on stream and
we never stopped talking
to her after she said yes.
she's super cool and very
chill. you'll love working
with her

how the fuck did i go
this long without knowing
she existed when you guys
have heard her right in
front of me this entire
time

i know i never really
mentioned her name
because she doesn't want
to "blow up"

lmfao i understand that
one

i continued listening to her music. it's so captivating and she's constantly able to mesh genres. she has heavier angrier music but also softer and more emotional pieces. it truly does remind me a lot of what i do. going from agoraphobic to DAYWALKER! for me is like going from death by design to hateful for her.

the more i learn about her and what she does, the more intrigued i am. i would love to get to know her outside of music.
