Radio Friendly

Friendly Radio Song (Nico's Move)

Here is the song this story is based on and is sang in this chapter

Will's Point

I stood behind the stage with Nico as the lights dimmed and the video started to play.

"It's a pleasure to meet you my friend, come take a seat at my desk" my voic

e sang as it showed me walk into a room and shake hands with a man and sat down.

"I gotta tell ya kid, the whole team is more than impressed" my voice sang as me and him talked without audio

"Your melodies soar and all of your choruses shine
The lyrics are sound and your voice is fundamentally fine" my voice sang as the video faded to me on my bed writing and playing notes on a guitar without audio

"But face it,
If you wanna make it onto radio kid, you gotta do as I say" my voice sang as the man behind the desk smiled

"Change all the "hims" into "hers"
And just don't tell the world that you're... SHHH!" I sang as the video showed my face up close and I placed a finger to my lips

"Happy to help, take my card, please think about what I've said" my voice sang as the man handed me a business card

"Do do do, do do do do do" I sang as the video showed me up close again

"But this is an industry where people make money
So your art has to sell
And you should never seek to challenge an audience
They buy what they're told and we never get it wrong
Go write us a non-offensive, tasteful, conventional song
Like this one" I sang as I danced while playing the guitar

"Girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it should be forever" Will sang. off to the left a sign with two stick women popped up and then it was crossed out then on the right a sign with two stick men popped up and then was crossed out.

Doing this for the chorus was really hard for me and made me cringe to watch but I hoped that the end of the song made up for it.

"Welcome to Tinseltown kid, I'm gonna make you a star" My voice sang as it showed me turning and looking at all the bright lights of Hollywood

"You got the fire in your gut and everything that you need to go far" I sang as it showed my face close up again

"You're a talented guy, you could shake Hollywood to the ground" I sang as I dropped to my knees then raised up

"And with us on your side, plus your looks," I voice sang as the man from the beginning and a few other people came to my side

"You're gonna conquer this town" my voice sang as the Hollywood sign shattered behind me

"But face it, If you wanna break into this business kid, you gotta play the part
And you'll never play a leading man
If you let on to your fans the truth about who you are" my voice sang as the man from the beginning soundly talked to me then throw a pride flag into a fire.

This scene was the hardest for me to have filmed because it went against everything I believed but it was needed to get the feel of the man.

"Just remember that
Girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it has been forever
Yeah, girls like boys and boys like girls
And that's the way it will be forever" I sang as the chorus played again
