Bloom- Billie Eilish

Chapter 4

          It's been a week since I officially moved to LA. My job is going great and I've been working my ass off writing and recording music. Finneas and Billie are over at my place helping me record new music.

          "Alright Jade. Let's try that second verse again. Put more of a staccato feeling to the words, but don't make it too robotic." Finneas recommended.

           "Okay sounds good." I reply. Finneas hits play on the track and I start to sing.

          "2 PM and we've lounged

           Around

          In PJ's

          Lazy weekend with you

          And good music

          On replay

          Fuck that "don't touch the art"

           You're a sculpture

           On display

           Burnt all my calories

           Still hungry

           And I want"

          He stops the music and smiles. "Perfect. I think we're done! Wanna hear it through one last time?"

          "Fuck yeah!" Billie replies.

          "Definitely. Hit play on that shit Fin." I add.

           The song plays through and we all dance along to the music. When it ends, Billie and Finneas look at each other and then to me.

           "Seriously Jade, this shit slaps hard! It's so good!" Billie excitedly says.

           "Okay. I just HAVE to know how you came up with the concept for this song." Finneas states.

           "Well, I was on Spotify trying to find that remix of that song about coffee that's all over tiktok right now. And when I typed coffee into the search bar, several songs came up. So I decided to make a playlist of songs that mention breakfast or are good for a lazy morning, and I titled it Breakfast In Bed. Then I thought, damn, that would be a sick song title, but what would it actually be about? I realized that breakfast in bed could totally be a metaphor for oral sex, and I knew I just had to write it. So I did." I explained. Billie busts out laughing, causing Finneas and I to do the same. "Okay, since it's done, I wanna officially put it on spotify and itunes and such. But I need a name to go by."

          We all thought for a minute. I wanted a name that sounded like a band, because I didn't wanna just go by my actual name. "What about At First Bloom?" I questioned. We checked to see if anyone else has music uploaded under that name and surprisingly there wasn't.

          "At First Bloom it is!" Finneas typed a few things on the computer, I picked a photo I had taken of coffee and a croissant from Lunar Cafe, and only minutes later, my song was officially available to stream and purchase.

          "AH! This is so exciting! But I'm tired of recording, let's play Halo." And for the rest of the day the three of us play Halo, me winning most of the time, of course.

           I wake up the next morning and get myself dressed and ready for work. I throw my hair into a messy bun, not bothering to style it. I put on black skinny jeans and a green and white striped tee shirt, with my favorite white Puma's. I grab my purse and head to Epitaph Records.
