In a world full of faded lines, nothing and everything seem to collide and the world speeds out of view. It takes a lot to get through it. What makes it easier is having someone there to push you. For me that was Elijah Goldsworthy. He helped me to see the world I lived in the right way. We ended up helping eachother through our troubles and showing the other new things, taking everyday one step at a time. But what no one will ever understand is that together, there's so much more than love...if there was no "us", then there's no life.
"So what do think? Sound like something you'd want to do?"
That was our manager Marie Louis. And the something she's talking about is a publicity based contest where our fans would write to us saying why they enjoy my music and what it means to them and stuff like that. And the prize is that the winner receives an autographed copy of our next album Pandora's Box, tickets along with backstage passes to our next concert, and be able to chat with me over Skype.
What? Oh, who am I?
Sorry. I'm Lydia Ross but to the world Persephone. I'm the lead singer from the group White Noise. It's me, Nathan March (Comus), Robert Finnely (Thanatos) and the twins Derek and Daniel Thompson (Phorcys and Pontos). We're a combination of punk, alternative rock, metal etc. The label thought it would be interesting to have a group based off of the Greek gods and goddesses.
We've made two albums so far that have went platinum: Olympus: The Homecoming and Welcome to the Underworld (Tell Hades I Said Hello) .
Nathan spoke first. "I think it's cool, we get to have a closer look at our fans."
Next was Rob. "Me too. The way our fans are, those tickets and backstage passes alone would be enough."
Derek and Daniel were all for it. "Let's do this!" and "We have to have to the ladies what they want, right bro?"
I was still debating it. I may be the lead siinger but I'm more reserved than you think. There's two sides to me. The singer: outgoing and energetic. You can't be in the publics eye and afraid. Then the normal teenage girl that hangs out with friends, watches movies, goes shopping.
We've been doing this since we were 15 and now we're all about to turn 18. The fame hasn't changed who we are. Me, I still the quiet almost nerdy girl that sits way in back of the class. Nathan's the confident, humble guy. Rob's the thoughtful and athletic guy. Derek and Daniel are the funny party guys but they when the joke is over. Over the years they've become my extended family.
I was lost in thought when Derek piped up. "Come on Ly, it'll be fun. The fans would love a chance to talk to the hot lead singer. Everyone sees us more than you."
"He's right. No one has really gotten any interview from you before." said Rob.
It's true. I've never had a solo interview before. When we do them as a group, it's mostly the guys.
"I guess. Sure"
Marie smiled. "Then it's settled. The White Noise Super Fan Contest is about to begin."
