Canzone capitolo: 7 Years Old, Lukas Graham.

Poso i libri nell'armadietto e mi
affretto a prendere lo zaino con gli spartiti.

Oggi c'è il provino per il musical, all'inizio non ero molto entusiasta, ma ragazzi stiamo parlando di crediti extra, se fallisco anche qui rischio la bocciatura.

I provini si suddividono in: prove di canto, strumento (orchestra, o piccole band senza cantanti) e recitazione.
Ho deciso di suonare il pianoforte, e cantare 7 Years Old di Lukas Graham.

Ho scelto questa canzone scavando nei vecchi spartiti di papà, la ho studiata velocemente e la ho riadattata al mio tono, è stato facile.

Ora sono seduta accanto ad Ò sulle poltroncine verdi del teatro, mentre guardiamo Murphy stonare le note di una canzone di Celine Dion.
Ridiamo a crepapelle applaudendo come pazze.

"Ok Murphy, che ne dici di aiutarci nel backstage?" Il professore fa una leggera smorfia e congeda il moretto.

"Bene ragazzi, mancano Bellamy Blake e Clarke Griffin." Sorride facendomi segno di salire sul palco.
Lego i lunghi capelli biondi in una coda disordinata e mi siedo sullo sgabello posizionato davanti al grande pianoforte a coda nero.

Chiudo gli occhi quando le prime note della canzone si propagano nel grande teatro e inizio a cantare.

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
