one song. one friendship. one love story.
Lacy Hope is a singer from london hoping to make it big, after her first single selfish goes straight to number 5 a week after it is released at just 20 years old, she is asked to do BBC live lounge to cove...
the hair stylist sprays my hair with one final touch of hairspray before tapping my shoulders to let me go.
"have a good time!" she smiles to me, i smile back and walk with haley to where i am filming my BBC live lounge.
i get to sing selfish and 2 covers so i chose 2 of my favourite songs: midnight memories by one direction and sam fenders new song hypersonic missiles.
hypersonic missiles only came out 2 weeks ago, i'm hoping me covering it today will finally give sam the recognition he deserves.
"boy your such a lost cause. now your name is crossed off how you gonna fix this you can't even fix yourself it was almost two years that i chose to spend here all alone on new years thinking what the hell"
this is the first time i've sung selfish live so the nerves were really hitting me. i'm pretty sure it barely counts as singing it live if it's not on a stage but still. i'm scared.
"shouldn't love you but i couldn't help it had a feeling that you never felt it always knew you were too damn selfish don't know why i looked the other way"
the song comes to a finish and my nerves finally calm down as i realise the vibes in the room are immaculate.
time to sing midnight memories.
i grab my baby pink fender guitar and pull the strap around me. my dad got it for me on my 12th birthday as i kept stealing his guitar.
and since that day i've never wanted to play anything else.
"straight off the plane to a new hotel just touched down you could never tell big house party with a crowded kitchen people talk shhhh but we don't listen"
this song came out when i was thirteen and it is still a song i listen to everyday. maybe my performance will persuade one direction to come back. i wish
"midnight memories ohhh baby you and me stomping through the street singing singing singing singing midnight memories"
i play the final chord to it and my drummer stops playing too. ok i am on a high right now this is so fun.
i'm so sad this is my final song.
"hi i'm lacy hope and this is my cover of hypersonic missiles by sam fender. hope you enjoy"
"dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot the golden arches illuminate the business parks i eat myself to death feed the corporate machine i watch the movies recite every line and scene god bless america and all of its allies i'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes
i am so blissfully unaware of everything kids in gaza are bombed and i'm just out of it the tensions of the world are rising higher we're probably due another war with all this ire i'm not smart enough to change a thing i have no answers only questions don't you ask a thing
oh the silver tongued suits and cartoons that rule my world are saying it's a high time for hypersonic missiles when the bombs drop darling can you say that you've lived your life and oh this is a high time for hypersonic missiles"
