it was about 10am when I woke up, it was late but I couldn't get to sleep last night, no matter how hard I tried. I was up all night thinking about what melody we would put to the lyrics George made us, his way of words were so beautiful, something I could never do. I've always thought lyric writing was impressive and I think my band mates think the same, we all tried to make our own stuff it just never stuck with us.
I did my usual morning routine which included a shower, washing my face and styling my hair. it didn't really take me long to get ready I mean I didn't really try I wasn't the one everyone was looking at in the band anyway, I was kinda just there to play the guitar, all the focus went on wil. I of course didn't mind that, wil is my best friend and he is attractive and talented.
I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, grabbing a granola bar for breakfast as I didn't feel that hungry this morning. I noticed no one was around so I guessed they were in the recording room. and I was right, inside the small room was the band members. let me introduce you to them.
first we had me of course, I was the founder of our little group. I've always loved music and had wanted to make it one day. lucky for me I was able to find my band mates easily.
we had our bassist Karl Jacobs, he was the joy of the group, always in a good mood and always ready for any challenge that went our way. I was jealous of his attitude, but he's a great addition.
then we have nick our drummer who prefers going by his stage name sapnap, he is extremely nice but pretty quiet, he put most of his passion into drumming and he is actually sick at it! he's been my best friend for years so he was an immediate member.
and lastly we have wil, well Wilbur I met him on a website, we didn't have strong enough vocals, I'm glad I picked him over the other guy. Wilbur is our main singer his voice is perfect for our band, and his looks come in handy with getting popularity.they are all amazing and make the band the way it is, we of course are not good at writing lyrics so we normally would find people on social media who want to give us their work. some were okay and some were terrible except from the one we got in the mail.
we already knew that this guy from a website was sending us stuff but he never gave us his name. and his lyrics?? they were shit hot, our most popular song 'taunt' was made by him.we have been trying to contact him again to work with us but we just couldn't get through him on his Gmail. so of course we were excited when we got another letter through the post which actually had his name and phone number. we were planning on reaching out to him after we see if the new song goes with our vibe, you know it could have been a one hit wonder all we knew.
I went to grab my guitar, making sure it was in tune. Wilbur already planned the rhythm in his head so we just let him start and we carried on with our instruments. we all listened to the way Wilbur sung it. chiming in our suggestions for the backing.
it did take a few hours and a lunch break but we finally felt like this was perfect. we hit record to make a little demo to send to George.
'one two three!' sapnap said as he tapped his drumsticks.
we all followed through, it sounded really fucking good in my opinion, I was excited to see what George though of it.

I was just finishing up with cleaning the kitchen at my work when I got a text notification, I thought it was weird since I don't really text my friends, I normally just call them. I stopped what I was doing to check.xx-xxx-xxx
hey! I'm dream, a member of the band the transit, you send us some lyrics and we wrote a sick melody to it.George
oh!! I'm glad you got my lyrics! I would love to hear the melody.dream!
great! if you have Instagram you should message us there so we can send you the demo. we would love to meet you in person as well.I smiled at my phone, someone actually wanted to meet me after seeing my lyrics?? of course I wanted to!
George
oh yes of course! I'll message you there now!I was over the moon, I immediately messaged them and asked for the demo. once the video showed up I pressed it, it was really good, I never thought my song 'one day' would become that.
I kept playing it and playing it as I mopped the floor, a bright smile plastered on my face, my head bopping to the tune.my sister finally came back to the kitchen, about to tell me I could go home.
"woah what song is this? this is pretty good" she asked while holding the keys in her hand."I wote it! well I wrote the lyrics! my work is getting noticed!" I said fast I couldn't help it I felt so proud of myself I couldn't stop smiling.
"holy shit! my brother is famous huh?" I laughed as she said that.
we talked about it a bit more before I left to go home. I didn't like walking home too late since I didn't have a car and I lived about 30 minutes away. my walk home was pretty content, I couldn't stop listening to the song and messaging dream. he was actually really nice.dream
you're so talented George! I'm excited to meet you hopefully!George
me too! I really love your music style! I think I'll be able to come see you guys Friday after work and get home around Monday morning. it's just a train ride away.dream
that sounds perfect to me George, we might record a music video for the song we all really like it.George
I bet it'll be amazing! I'll see you on Friday I can't wait !
:]dream
see you then Georgie :)dream
SHIT AUTO CORRECT!I just laughed at the message, chucking my bag down by my desk, grabbing my book and pen 'might as well write some things to bring when I meet them' I thought to myself as I sat thinking and writing.
I was excited to meet the band, well especially Wilbur, man was actual eye candy. but I was curious about that dream guy, he seemed actually really sweet, I could see us being close friends.
