The contest came to a close, the nights became blurry with nightmares and pass memories, the black and white palette still staying its dull color. Everything was set into place, the machine programmed and wired to go off at exactly 8pm. All I had to do today was release a new cover and announce the winner, it isn't that hard, how hard could it be? Right?

I sighed and made my way towards the recording studio, my lips slightly open, my eyes trailing across the room to find my guitar, the bright lights of the studio activating with the slightest movements I made.
I sat down, the wooden stool tall and slim, fitting my lanky figure perfectly. My hands gripped onto the guitar, my fingers began to strum, the tune soon filling the room, the mikes capturing every sound, the cameras focused on my hands.

"Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love you took from me
Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me" my hands finishing up the final cords, my voice wavering as I sang the last words, my heart full on blues.

"Hello everyone! And thank you for listening and watching this live stream, I know you guys only came here for the big announcement so your wait will come to an end in-"

The winner popped up on the screen, the name all to familiar and so I prayed I would never see again.
"There you have it the winner is Keith Kogane! Keith I'll email you with the email you sent through and we'll be in touch shortly, goodnight everyone and sweetdreams!"
