For the first time ever a fan has passed away at their show. This really impacted them in the worst way because they never would've thought that things would get this intense to the point where they had to quit the tour. This eye opening situation is when people need to realize that they are not only risking their lives but risking everybody's lives as well. Nevertheless Leviathan is making it up to the fan and his family by providing a tribute concert, donating money to his family and writing a song for him.
"So guys I found out more information about him through his family. He was a 23 year old man from Alabama residing in Louisiana and his name was Micheal but they used to call him Mikey", Dustin told them. "That's so sad, he wasn't even that much older than us, anyway did you write the lyrics because we finished creating the ballad?", Keith asked. "Yes I'll let you guys hear it before we record it with the instrumental, but what key is the song in?", Dustin asked. "A major, to give it an emotional but hopeful feeling", Keith replied. Dustin then sang the lyrics to the song:
"Dear friend, may you make that transition to your place of serenity. Away from all the hurt and pain and negativity. You lived your life and you put up a great big fight, one that nobody can win except you. My friend you were a warrior that left us way too soon.
Dear friend, spread your wings and fly away 'cause you're a true hero. Only wish is that I wish you could be here though. Making all of us smile and sending your love through that beautiful soul of yours. You are an angel now soaring through the clouds. You finally found your resting place after taking on another battle. I love you to the moon, the stars and the universe and back. Live on my friend until we meet again".
After that he started to break down and start crying because the lyrics really touched him. Nobody has ever seen him this emotional before, especially seeing him cry this hard.
"The lyrics are beautiful, you're making me teary eyed, aww his family is going to love this, you're such a great songwriter", Sterling squealed. "Aww D Tom, he's looking down on you right now, he's smiling right at you", Keith said. All of a sudden they all started getting tears in their eyes. At this moment they knew that this was going to be a tough song to perform.
A couple of days later they were finally able to record the song and save it for their upcoming album which included other ballads as well. This was not their type of music but they were just experimenting with new sounds. They were all debating whether or not they should go back to Louisiana and perform or should they just stay local and do a tribute there.
"So what should we do guys? His funeral is going to be next week sometime", Sterling asked. "We just came back from tour a little over a week ago, we can't go back there. Plus it's not very suitable for us right now", Ricardo added. "Yeah I agree, let's keep it local, everybody can live stream us if they can't make it", Dustin added. Keith and Karl then came running through the door inside the studio with something in their bags.
"Hey look what we made", Karl announced. Him and his brother then pulled out shirts with Mikey's picture and his sunrise and sunset on it. His name was also in the font of the band's logo which really made it cool, but unfortunately they could only sell it to the family.
"That's really awesome, how nice", Sterling praised them for their creation. "Thank you", the brothers both said. Suddenly Dante came strutting through the studio door very unconcerned.
"What's good you guys? I just came from planning something exciting. On August 10th you guys are invited to my dad's birthday bash. It's going to be in a huge hall and it's going to be epic! He's turning 40 and he's having a fantastic 40th birthday party! Boy oh boy I'm excited", Dante interjected excitedly. They all got quiet as they were shocked.
