"I know you've suffered,
But I don't want you to hide,
It's cold and loveless,
I won't let you be denied
Soothing,
I'll make you feel pure,
Trust me,
You can be sure
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers,
That you're wicked and divine,
You may be a sinner,
But your innocence is mine
Please me,
Show me how it's done,
Tease me,
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart,
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Please me,
Show me how it's done,
Trust me,
You are the one
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart,
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart"
- Undisclosed Desires, by Muse.
That was how Søren Axl got his popularity. He sung a song. He sung a British song, and uploaded it onto some sharing website. When he logged on six hours later, just past midnight where he lived in Denmark, he had over one hundred thousand hits, and a rating of 8732, with only one or two minuses - from the people who didn't like the song.
He was interviewed on Danish television, a show called Eftermiddag Danmark! Med Jenson Jakob (Afternoon Denmark! with Jenson Jakob). The weird thing about it was that he usually watched it late in the evening, with all the current stars and top-flyers. There he was, dark hair flicking over his forehead and crimson-shaded eyes looking at Jakob. His light tanned complexion was brighter in the studio blaring lights. He sat on the scarlet sofa he'd seen celebrities sit on, lounge on. So that's what he did, just looked nervous and there was no looking-down-your-nose to anyone.
"Eftermiddag, Søren!" laughed Jakob. Søren nodded to him. "So .. You are the new boy on the celeb block, eh? How'd you think about that, Hr. Axl?"
Søren took a moment of pause to think. "I wouldn't say celebrity," carefully he murmured. "It's good, I didn't think it would turn out like this at all. I can't believe I'm in the legendary chat show Eftermiddag Danmark!" he grinned, showing his sparkling white teeth, a dazzling smile.
"I'm so glad you love the show. So.. Tell us something about yourself, then we'll take questions from our audience," Jakob said, almost demanded. Søren didn't much like his tone.
"Well, I'm fifteen years old and I am from Rødovre, my favourite colour is black, I'm five foot nine, ish, and I'm single," Søren responded.
"Ok! Questions from the audience.. Yes, Miss!" Jakob ran over to a woman with her hand up to ask a question.
"Um.. Who's your favourite band, and your favourite song?" she asked.
Søren deliberated. Then answered, "The song I sang and Muse."
