January 2002
It had been two days since the trip. Will walked in with a big grin to the studio, "August due date, we'll be done before July!" Guy shook his head, "Don't be so confident." Jonny rubbed his eyes, "Let's just keep at the pace we're on." Will nodded, "Yeah fine but, I do want to take a long vacation." Chris interrupted, "Then let's work, let's work now."
Jonny's messing around with guitar chords intrigued Guy as he leaned over and listened, "Play that again!" Jonny nodded and played his same chord progression again. Guy lifted his hand and waved to the other two, "Jonny's found something!" They all listened quietly as Jonny played. He stopped and looked up slowly, "How was that one?"
Guy smiled, "I really like it, how about you guys?" Will said, "Sounds fine." Chris nodded and looked mildly impressed. Jonny said, "Let me just right this all down." Everyone went back to what they had been working on.
After Chris had nearly run out of ideas he went to Jonny. He asked, "Maybe I could brainstorm some lyrics for those chord patterns you were playing earlier." Jonny nodded and handed him a piece of paper.
Chris asked, "Perhaps you could play it again?" Jonny nodded and began to repeat the same chords and melody over and over again. First Chris just hummed, adding the occasional word until the humming stopped and he was only singing.
Chris wrote some lines down and disregarded others until eventually, he had run out of room on the paper. Jonny pushed the paper towards Chris, "You can polish it or whatever you need to do." Chris said, "Thanks Jonny boy."
Guy began shuffling out of the room, "It's late. I gotta get home, feed my dog." They said goodbye and the other three continued to work. Will eventually said that he had to go pick up some laundry.
Chris couldn't take it. He said, "You know what, on New Year's you did do something dumb while you were drunk." Jonny stared at him, "What? What did I do? What do you mean?" Chris took a deep breath, "You kissed me." Jonny laughed and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry! I was drunk, really drunk! I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking. You know that, right?" Chris nodded, "Yeah uh, I just wanted to make sure that you knew?"
Jonny nodded, "Oh, ok. Sorry if that made you uncomfortable." Chris shrugged, "It uh, did. You were drunk it didn't count?" Jonny asked, "What?" Chris shook his head, "Nothing Jonny."
Jonny tried to change the subject so he asked, "Did you find a name for that new song?" Chris said, "It might be a stupid title but, I think A Rush of Blood To The Head is a nice title." Jonny nodded, "Sounds great."
Chris smiled, "I heard about this wonderful Graphic Artist that was interested in our request for him to make art for the album." Jonny shrugged, "I don't care much for album covers, all of ours have looked fine." Chris shook his head, "No, this is different Jonny boy. I think you'll really like it."
Chris said, "It's late. I think I should get home now." He walked past Jonny before backing up a step and kissing his cheek. He wasn't sure what motivated him to do so but, he couldn't stop himself. It wasn't that crazy, they'd done that before but Chris thought Jonny wouldn't think much of it.
Jonny sputtered and mumbled before saying, "Bye Chris!"
