NOTHING MATTERS - daisy jones

[track seven] - nothing matters

WARREN: We recorded SevenEightNine in six days. Karen, Graham, Billy and Eddie had two weeks off before we left for tour, but Rosa had asked me to play drums on her debut album, and of course I had said yes, so I was back in the studio for an extra nine days. (Smiles) But, man, was it worth it for that end result.

ROSA: Teddy asked if I would be okay with him calling in a few favours from a couple of old friends of his to play bass and keys on my album. I told him I was grateful for all the help I could get.

STELLA MONTGOMERY (bassist): My career had been on the back burner for a while. I had been in and out of rehab for my drug addiction and no label wanted to touch me with a ten foot pole-- apart from Teddy. If he saw something in you, he just wouldn't let it go. He never gave up on me, even when he should have, so when he asked me if I'd like to be on an album with this new chick called Rosalind, I practically jumped at the chance and let me tell you something-- boy, am I glad I did.

ANGELO MARTÍNEZ (keyboardist): I had just been kicked out of my band when Teddy reached out to me. He said, "How would you like to play keys for someone who I think could be America's next big rockstar?" I was wary, but Teddy had never led me astray before, and I didn't have much else going for me at the time, so I said, "Why the hell not?"

INTERVIEWER: What was your first impression of Rosa?

STELLA: She was drop-dead gorgeous, I'll tell you that for free. She had a striking figure and her eyes were this beautiful shade of honey-brown. She had these huge, gold hoops hanging from her ears and they kept getting caught in the wisps of hair that were framing her face. She was wearing this black blouse and a pair of tiny blue denim shorts that made her ass look huge. I remember asking where she got them, actually (laughs).

ANGELO: First impression of Rosa? I don't know, man, I just couldn't get over how long her legs were. I've always been a leg man. Nah, honestly, though, I remember her being super sweet. She said she appreciated us coming and then she got down to business, like she had no time to waste. I liked that about her.

CASPER KELLY (author of "Rosalind Rhodes; fame and fatalities"): Rosalind Rhodes' debut album consists of twelve songs, but the real stand out is "Snap out of it." It's the kinda song that would be running rampant in your head for the next week.

BILLY: The night before we left to go on tour, Camila found out she was pregnant. We got married that same evening.

☆・・・★・・・・・★・・・☆

Despite Rosa insisting that the bride doesn't lift a finger on her wedding day, Camila disregards her protests and snatches the curling iron from her. Ultimately, Camila's hands shake too much, and she relinquishes that small measure of control over to her maid of honour.

Camila gazes at her reflection in the bedroom's full-length mirror. Earlier in the afternoon, Karen and Rosa rummaged through their wardrobes and found a flowing white dress that fits her like a glove. Sofia harvested wildflowers from a field with her Uncle Warren and Rosa crafted them into a crown that rests neatly atop Camila's head.

"You look beautiful," Rosa declares, beaming from ear to ear as she smooths out the imaginary creases in her own dress. It's a shade of pink that she wouldn't normally be caught dead in, but considering the circumstances, it's a cross she's willing to bear for the night.
