My Dad's a Rockstar?

Hit the Lights

Sam's POV

The arena was dark, all the lights were off. The only light visible was the dim spot light on me. I was standing a few feet away from edge of the stage. The microphone was in front of me. I looked out at the small audience that consisted of some of my back up dancers and some of the crew, as the music started. I took a breath and started.

“It’s the boy you never told I like you, It’s the girl you let get away, It’s the one you saw that day on the train, But you freaked out and walked away,” Multi-colored lights turned on as the music progressed. I tapped my foot to the beat as I sang the next part.

“It’s the plane you want to catch to Vegas, Things you swear you’ll do before you die, It’s the city of love that waits for you, But you’re to damn scared to fly,” I took the mic off of the stand and strutted to the right of the stage. I reached out and took one of the dancer’s hand, smiling. She was smiling and singing along with me.

“Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come Alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight. Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight.” I turned around and walked back the way I came to the other side of the stage. I squinted as I tried to hear through the ear piece in my ear. They weren’t working properly. It’s a good thing that this was just a rehearsal.

“It’s the time that you totally screwed up, Still you’re trying, Get out your brain, It’s the fight you had when you didn’t make up, It’s the past that you’re dying to change, It’s all the money that you’re saving, While the good life passes by, It’s all the dreams that never came true, Cause you’re too damn scared to try,” I walked back to the mic stand, but instead of standing there I kept walking, onto the runway to the edge of the stage. I started hearing static in my right ear. I reached my right hand up and pushed the ear piece in a little deeper and realized that it was the ear piece making the static noise. I pulled out my right ear piece, but continued on.

“Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come Alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight. Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight. It’s a mad, mad world, Gotta make an escape, It’s a perfect world, When you go all the way, Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, So let’s go, go, go, go All the way, Yeah let’s go, go, go,”

I walked back to the middle of the stage and to the mic stand where I reset the mic. I wrapped my hands around the top of the stand as I sang. I looked down at the concert director, he pointed to his ear and I nodded, placing the right ear piece back into my ear. The sound was perfect again. That is, until I started hearing static in the left ear piece. I reached up and tried to adjust it. When that didn’t work, I pulled it out and let it rest on my shoulder.

“Night and Day, From the floor to the rafters, People raise their glasses, We can dance forever, Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come Alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight. Hit the lights, Let the music move you, Lose yourself tonight, Come alive, Let the moment take you, Lose control tonight.”

I finished off the song, the final notes lingering in the arena. I looked over at my little audience and smiled. They were giving me a standing ovation while they clapped and cheered. I started laughing as I heard some of the guys yelling, “Skyelar, I love you!” and “Skyelar, will you marry me?”

Since my new album is almost done I have to start promoting it. So the record label decided that I should do a couple of select shows to preview some of my new stuff. So basically we were rehearsing the whole show. I walked over to the edge of the stage and bowed dramatically.
