Song Suggestion - The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies
'Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian would always remember this time as one of the most precious of his life. Watching Roger drive them from Gloucester towards Monmouth with the windows down in the car and the radio playing loudly. The wind blowing their hair and the contentment of being together as they headed for Rockfield Studios. With the promise of a few precious weeks away from London and from their girlfriends.
'If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything' I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read'
Brian never failed to relish how good he and Roger sounded together when they sang. Their voices blending into a perfect harmony. Balanced between their differing textures and just so sublime to hear. The familiar tune played on Capital Radio and they sang together as they felt it just might be their song at the moment. A stamp on their current situation.
'Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you'
Brian smiled as Roger turned for a moment to look at him as he sang the chorus. Evoking so much in his expression and his eyes as they harmonized in unison. As they escaped their reality and headed for a sanctuary across the border into Wales. When the song ended, Roger lit a cigarette.
"What are the accommodations at this place?" Brian questioned. Curious how things would be for the next few weeks.
"There are a few of these little apartments and then several individuals rooms." Roger answered. "Freddie took one of the apartments of course and he insisted you get one." he explained as he grinned at Brian. "Since you're still recovering from your illness and all." he quipped as Brian gave him a nod.
"Of course he did." Brian remarked as his heart felt warm over Freddie's gesture.
"That left one other apartment which Roy took." Roger then advised. Brian wasn't surprised that their producer wanted one. It felt appropriate.
"So you and John don't have apartments?" Brian questioned.
"We don't." Roger responded and gave Brian a miserable expression. "With us being the babies and all...we get stuck with the regular rooms like the crew." Roger whined. Forcing Brian to smirk at his complaint.
"Maybe if you'd had hepatitis Freddie would have given you his place." Brian quipped. Roger made a sound of disbelief.
"I doubt it!" Roger responded and smirked back. "Freddie needs all that extra room for his bloody clothes!" he complained as Brian grinned at him.
"True." Brian agreed as Roger looked at him with a warm expression.
"I've been staying in your place while we waited for you to get here..." Roger informed him. "Thought I'd keep the bed warm for you." he remarked as Brian felt enthralled at finding Roger's scent on his sheets.
"Thanks." Brian replied. "I hope I can count on you warming my sheets tonight." he mentioned as he hoped that Roger might share his bed and his apartment with him.
"I'd love nothing more Bri...but we have to figure out how we are going to manage it." Roger told him.
"Maybe we could just say we're going to share the apartment." Brian suggested.
