They Don't Know About Us [L.P]

Chapter 30

 I woke up early to get a start on the few songs I had in mind. Before I headed back to my keyboard, I found a paper on the dresser that was the list of songs they already had written out and were recorded. 

Best Song Ever

Diana

Midnight Memories 

You & I

Little Black Dress

Something Great

Through the Dark

Why Don't We Go There

Alive

     I remember hearing a few of these in the studio as they rehearsed. As I got to recording most of the music for the first song, I started writing out the chorus. For me, when I write songs, I write the chorus before writing the whole song. The chorus helps me a lot. 

     Humming a tune, I jot down what worked best with my hummed tune, I sing it to myself before going to my microphone. I hooked up the music and let it play and pressed record, singing the chorus. 

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?

     Smiling, I save that to my control panel and transfer it to my laptop. Rolling back and forth on the chair from my keyboard to my control panel, to my desk- it was going crazy. 

     After writing out more in the song I had called Strong, I went to another. I chose a little slow start. I grabbed my guitar and started pulling some strings. Hearing a good note, I plug it into the control panel and hear the tune record. 

     Unplugging it, I go to write the first verse and chorus for this new song that I liked to call Right Now. This one was stuck in my head all night so I had to write it out. I went back, hummed it, sang it, then recorded it. 

Lights go down, and
The night is calling to me, yeah
I hear voices
Singing songs in the street and I know
That we won't be going home
For so long, for so long, but I know
That I won't be on my own, yeah

I love this feeling that right now
I wish you were here with me
'Cause right now
Everything is new to me
You know I can't fight the feeling
And every night I feel it
Right now
I wish you were here with me

     When I was content with that, I transferred it to my laptop. I then wrote out some more and by the time I decided I was done, it was 9:30. I had been up at 5. I was working on these songs for over four hours. Am I crazy? Yeah!

     I turned off everything and put the lyric sheets in a separate folder. Closing it and putting it on the shelf that was made for me, I walked to my closet and looked at what I had which wasn't a lot. But luckily, I had one of my favorite outfits saved. I grabbed my gray jacket, a short black and white striped tank top, jeans, and some black converse and changed into it. 

     I went to the bathroom and brushed out my hair as I brushed my teeth. It gets difficult after a while of doing it but it's not at the same time. 

    I put on my mascara, feeling that today was going to be an easy day. Especially with what I had done for four hours. I wanted to get out. I honestly doubt the boys will let me if I'm honest.

     I walked out of my room and down the hall to the stairs. I turned into the kitchen and saw Liam at the sink. "Morning Liam," I said, walking to the fridge for water. He turns to me and smiles.
